# Chapter 30 Latest content published on: When the Stars Forgot to Return My Wishes
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 30 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" — a chapter that cuts deep into the raw wounds of family betrayal, where silence speaks louder than screams, and a single slap shatters the last thread of hope Autumn had left.
The Lewis household was already simmering with tension when Hector, without a moment's hesitation, blamed Autumn for everything. It was her birthday, he snarled, and because none of them were home, she had taken her frustration out on poor, innocent Luna. Autumn stood frozen, disbelief washing over her like ice water. What had she even done? She had barely spoken a word to Luna, and yet somehow she was the villain again.
Susan, ever the actress, pulled Luna into her arms with tears gleaming in her eyes. Her voice trembled with false sorrow as she accused Autumn of cruelty, painting herself as the remorseful stepmother who only wanted peace. "She's still your sister," Susan wept, as if she had any right to lecture Autumn about family bonds after stealing her mother's place.
Then Simon walked in, arms loaded with shopping bags, and the scene was already set against Autumn. His dark eyes settled on her like a judge delivering a verdict he had reached long before entering the room. He didn't ask what happened. He didn't need to. In his mind, Autumn was the problem — always had been, always would be. "You've really developed a temper," he said coldly. "Everyone was happy until you showed up."
Autumn looked at him, her eyes empty, as if staring at a stranger wearing her brother's face. This was the same Simon who once promised their dying mother he would take care of her. This was what "taking care of his sister" looked like — accusing her, blaming her, siding with everyone else against her. She let out a bitter laugh and told him plainly: she had come home for their grandmother, not for any of them. If they couldn't stand her, they could pretend she wasn't there. And if Luna would stop throwing herself at Autumn like a leech, none of this would happen.
Luna, of course, choked back a sob, playing the wounded doe. "You've misunderstood me, sis. I missed you so much. I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
Autumn's silence was sharper than any insult. She didn't even flinch.
Hector's fury boiled over. He screamed that Luna was considerate, always apologizing first, while Autumn couldn't admit a single fault. "I don't know how someone like you came out of our family," he spat.
Autumn pressed her lips together. To people who already despised her, even her breath was an offense. What was the point in defending herself?
Then Susan, still clutching Luna, tried to play the peacemaker — telling Autumn to let go of the past, to try to get along with her father and brothers. But Autumn's face hardened into a cold smile. She reminded Susan exactly how she had earned the title of Mrs. Lewis — by being the other woman, by taking a place that never belonged to her. "One day someone will do the same to you," Autumn said, her voice like winter frost. "They'll replace you and throw you out. When that day comes, let's see if you still have the nerve to preach."
Susan's face went pale. She knew all too well the precariousness of her position, how she spent every day pleasing the Lewis family while cleaning up Richard's endless string of mistresses.
Simon's face twisted with rage. Without a word, he raised his hand and slapped Autumn across the face.
The sound echoed through the room.
Autumn clutched her burning cheek, completely stunned. Never — no matter how much Simon had favored Luna in the past — had he ever raised a hand to her. This was the first time. And she had done nothing wrong. Nothing.
She looked at him with eyes that held no tears, only cold fury. "Why should I apologize? I haven't done anything wrong. Stop trying to guilt-trip me. Tell me, Mr. Lewis, have you already forgotten who gave birth to you?"

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is gut-wrenching. You can feel Autumn's loneliness and the crushing weight of a family that has already decided she's the enemy. The slap from Simon — her own brother — is the final betrayal, the moment when blood ties are severed not by words but by violence. Autumn's silence throughout most of the confrontation speaks volumes about her strength and her sorrow. She has learned that no words can save her, so she has stopped trying. My heart aches for her.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Rating: 4.6 / 5 Stars** — A painful but powerfully written chapter that shows the breaking point in Autumn's relationship with her family.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Autumn will not let this slap go unanswered. I predict she will walk away from the Lewis family for good, cutting ties with everyone who has wronged her. But Simon's violent act might also push her closer to seeking help from unlikely allies — perhaps Marcus, or someone who recognizes her worth. Luna's mask is beginning to slip, and I suspect the truth of her manipulation will soon come to light.
