# Chapter 41: The Sabotage That Backfired
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 41 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" – a chapter where accusations fly, secrets unravel, and one woman's quiet strength is tested in the most underhanded way.
---
The morning light had barely kissed the city when Autumn found herself caught in a storm she hadn't stirred. The call from her so-called family still rang in her ears, their pathetic accusations fresh and bitter. "So, Luna got rejected by Mr. Shaw, and you all had the nerve to blame it on me?" She had laughed mockingly, the words dripping with contempt. "Let’s be honest – you lot get to do whatever you want, but the moment someone else pushes back, it’s a problem? That kind of double standard is pathetic. And the worst part? You don’t even feel ashamed."
They tried to cut her off with a sharp "Autumn!" but she was already gone, the line dead. She didn't have time for their nonsense. Glancing at the clock – almost four in the morning – she simply lowered her head and returned to her studies. That was Autumn: a woman who refused to let anyone shake her focus.
The next day came with a quiet resolve. She rose early, made herself a simple bowl of oatmeal, and headed to the office. But the moment she walked through the doors, the atmosphere shifted. Frank, her manager, wore a grim mask as he called her into his office. Inside, he placed a report on the desk, his voice stern. "Ms. Lewis, there was a problem with the financial report you did some time ago. It caused a one-million-dollar loss to the company."
The accusation hung in the air like a guillotine blade. Frank continued, his tone edged with concern. "You’ve always been meticulous with your work. How could such a mistake happen? I kept this under wraps the moment I found out, but the amount involved is too big. We won’t be able to hide it for long."
Autumn’s heart didn't skip a beat. She took the report and skimmed it – and immediately saw the truth. Someone had tampered with the numbers, altered sections with malicious intent. Meeting Frank’s eyes with calm determination, she said, "Mr. Miller, I didn’t do this version of the report. Someone altered it. I can show you the original file from my laptop to prove it."
Frank rubbed his temples, tired but trusting. He knew Autumn wasn't someone who made amateur mistakes. Over all these years, the number of times she made errors could be counted on one hand. When Autumn brought in her laptop and opened the saved file, Frank reviewed it, and his expression darkened like a thundercloud.
He ordered his assistant to notify the entire department for an urgent meeting. Confused employees exchanged glances, whispers buzzing through the hallways. "Ms. Lowe, why did Mr. Miller suddenly call a meeting? Did something happen?" Irene shook her head, offering no answers. The finance department gathered, tension thick as smoke.
Frank tossed the tampered report onto the table, his voice cold as steel. "Whoever tampered with Ms. Lewis’s report, you’d better come clean now. If I find out who it was myself, I’ll make sure your name is ruined and you’re blacklisted in the industry."
But no one stepped forward. The culprit wasn't from that department. They knew it. Frank sighed, dismissing everyone with a few more instructions. He turned to Autumn, regret flickering in his eyes. "Ms. Lewis, looks like the person who did this isn’t in our department. What should we do now?"
Autumn simply shrugged. She already had a good idea of who was behind it, but she wasn't going to say it out loud. Some battles are best fought silently, with evidence rather than words.
Despite Frank’s efforts to suppress the matter, it didn't take long for news to reach the executive office. Alex, Julian’s assistant, hesitated before speaking. "Mr. Carter, there was an issue with the financial report prepared by Mrs. Carter. The company suffered a one-million-dollar loss because of it."
Alex was genuinely troubled. Technically, the loss came from work done by the president’s wife, which was the company’s own money. But knowing how little she cared about the company’s affairs, he felt it necessary to inform the boss.
Julian’s pen stopped mid-signature, his brow tightening like a vice. "If she made a mistake, then fire her."

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a gripping chapter! The tension is palpable, and I couldn't help but admire Autumn's quiet composure under fire. She's not just a victim – she's a strategist, handling the sabotage with grace and intelligence. The contrast between her family's pathetic accusations and her professional resilience is striking. And Julian's cold "fire her" – that line hit like a freight train. The man is clueless about his own wife's worth, and it's infuriatingly delicious to watch. This chapter is a masterclass in building suspense while deepening character dynamics.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars (One missing star only because I desperately need to see Autumn fight back harder!)
## Next Chapter Prediction
In the next chapter, the trap is set, and Julian's cold order to fire Autumn will collide head-on with her iron will. I predict she won't go down without a fight – she'll present the evidence of tampering, but it might not be enough to sway a man who's already convinced of her inadequacy. Meanwhile, the real saboteur, likely someone close to the Carters, will make another move. Could this be the moment when Autumn finally reveals her true identity or her secret divorce? Or perhaps Julian will get a taste of his own medicine when he realizes he's been manipulated by someone far more cunning than he expected? Buckle up – the storm is just beginning!
