---
Autumn stood frozen outside the restroom door, her hand hovering over the handle. She hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but the choked sobs filtering through the wood were impossible to ignore. It was Jasmine – the same Jasmine who always strutted around in expensive designer clothes, looking down her nose at everyone else. But now? Now her voice cracked with desperation, stripped of all pretense.
"Mom, I just started working in Northhaven," Jasmine cried, her words tumbling out in a rush. "I really don't have money right now. Let me send something back after I get paid, okay?"
Autumn's heart tightened. She could hear the exhaustion in Jasmine's voice – the kind that came from being pulled in too many directions.
"What? You want to buy my brother a car? Mom, he's still a kid – what does he need a car for? And where am I supposed to get that kind of money?"
A pause. Then Jasmine's voice rose into an anguished wail: "I'm your daughter too. You can't favor him so much, draining me dry just to feed him. It's not fair!"
Autumn listened, and a strange feeling washed over her – not pity, but a deep, bittersweet gratitude. She thought of her own mother, the warmth and unconditional love she'd grown up with. The woman who had never asked her to sacrifice her dreams for anyone. Autumn realized how fortunate she truly was.
But she didn't feel sorry for Jasmine. No, the pitiful often had something hateful about them. Being miserable didn't give anyone the right to stab others whenever they pleased. It was Jasmine's parents who owed her, not Autumn. And Autumn had no intention of indulging Jasmine's bad habits.
When Jasmine finally composed herself and stepped out of the restroom, her face was a wreck – mascara smudged, eyes red and puffy. She froze the moment she saw Autumn standing there, leaning against the wall with an unreadable expression.
For several heartbeats, Jasmine just stared. Why was Autumn still here? How much of that humiliating call had she overheard? The realization hit her like a slap – her most vulnerable, broken moment had been witnessed by the one person she'd always looked down on.
A storm of emotions raged inside Jasmine: shame, fury, humiliation. She tugged at her designer clothes as if they could shield her, then snapped, her voice sharp as broken glass, "Autumn, how much did you hear?"
Autumn met her gaze without flinching. "I heard everything. What, did you not want me to? Too bad, I heard it all."
Jasmine's face contorted, but Autumn pressed on, her voice steady and calm: "Jasmine, I really don't understand you sometimes. You can't even manage your own life, yet you still find time to laugh at others. If everyone lived like you – bitter about your own misery and determined not to let anyone else be happy – wouldn't that be terrifying? Don't you think so?"
Autumn thought about the Far family's obsession with sons over daughters. She'd hoped things might have changed after all these years. But no – they had only gotten worse, forcing Jasmine into a life of endless sacrifice for her brother. It was horrifying.
Jasmine let out a cold snort, her shame twisting into rage. "What do you know? My brother needs a car, so what if I help him? Who says my life is so bad? It's you, Autumn – must be rough being abandoned by your husband. You know Julian doesn't love you anymore, yet you keep clinging to him. What's the point? And I really don't get why Ethan or Keith would bother defending you. But don't get too full of yourself – however much you laugh now, you'll cry just as hard when you're thrown aside. I'll be waiting for that day."
Autumn sighed. Once someone's mind was poisoned by this "sacrifice everything for my family" obsession, there was no saving them. She realized she'd meddled too much. It was her mistake – she never should have tried reasoning with someone like that. With shameless people, reason had no place.
She turned to leave the restroom, ready to put this ugly encounter behind her. But as she reached the corner, a large hand seized her wrist, yanking her back with surprising force.
She looked up – and found Simon.
The strong stench of alcohol hit her like a wave. His eyes were bloodshot, his jaw tight with barely contained fury. So, he'd come looking to settle scores. She had expected this might happen, but not so soon. Not even giving her a moment to breathe, he came straight at her.
But fear? That wasn't in her.
Autumn's lips curved into a cold, defiant smile. "What's this? Here already to fight your darling sister's battles?"

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a powerful, emotionally charged chapter! I felt every ounce of Jasmine's humiliation and desperation, but I also felt Autumn's quiet strength. The contrast between the two women is brilliantly drawn – Jasmine, trapped in a cycle of familial exploitation, lashing out at everyone around her, and Autumn, who chooses compassion without being a doormat. That final confrontation with Simon sets up an incredible tension. I love how Autumn doesn't back down – she's grown so much from the woman who once seemed fragile. The writing pulls you right into the scene; I could almost smell the alcohol on Simon's breath.
⭐ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
Simon is drunk, furious, and cornering Autumn in a secluded area. This is going to get ugly fast – I predict he'll try to physically intimidate her or even hurt her, thinking he can bully her into submission. But Autumn has allies now – Ethan or Keith might show up just in time, or maybe Julian himself will appear to defend her. Either way, Simon is about to learn that attacking Autumn is a very, very bad idea. I'm on the edge of my seat!
