# Chapter 85: 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 85 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" — a chapter that sizzles with family tension, unexpected alliances, and a guardian who refuses to let anyone trample on those he protects.

The air in the banquet hall was thick with accusation. Autumn stood there, her spine straight as steel, facing her brothers — the very people who should have been her shield, but instead acted as her executioners. They had done it again. Without knowing the full story, they had swooped in like vultures, ready to peck at her reputation, all while wearing masks of protectiveness.
"I have nothing to do with the Lewis family anymore. What I choose to do is none of your business," she said, her voice cold as winter frost.
She was done. Done with their constant judgments, their blind devotion to Luna, their inability to see beyond their own biases. To outsiders, her brothers might have looked like concerned older siblings. But anyone with eyes could see the truth — they had come to settle a score, not to protect her.
Hector's voice snapped like a whip. "Autumn! You want to cut ties with us? Don't forget what your last name is!"
Even though Autumn was his real sister, blood and bone, it was Luna and her mother who had always been by their side during their growing years, caring for them without fail. And with Autumn's abrasive personality — her refusal to bow, to beg, to pretend — it was only natural that their loyalties had tilted toward that mother-daughter duo.
Autumn's heart ached, but she refused to let it show. She had long stopped expecting warmth from her so-called family.
Just as the tension threatened to explode, a deep, magnetic voice cut through the noise like a blade through silk.
"You have no right to judge her, and even less to tell her to leave. Because I am her guardian."
Keith strode in, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit that seemed to absorb the light around him. Behind him walked a tall, well-built young man in a royal blue suit, with sharp features and a presence that commanded attention.
The moment Keith appeared, the chatter died. People began stepping forward to greet him, their faces a mix of awe and nervousness.
Simon's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected Autumn to know the Sinclair heir. How had his sister, the girl he had dismissed as insignificant, managed to befriend someone so powerful?
Keith walked straight over to Autumn, his gaze instantly softening as he checked her over. "Are you alright?"
Autumn shook her head, her pride refusing to show weakness. "I'm fine. Thank you for stepping in."
Even if she didn't need his help — and she had not asked for it — it was only proper to express gratitude when someone stood up for her.
Lucas, watching from the side, silently scoffed. He had known Keith since they were kids, and never — never — had he seen the Sinclair heir so attentive toward any woman. This was a first. And it was telling.
Simon quickly stepped forward, his tone dripping with false politeness. "Mr. Sinclair, I think you misunderstood. We were just worried she might go astray, so we said a few things. She's our sister, after all. There's no way we'd ever hurt her, right?"
He was scrambling. The Sinclair family was not one they could afford to offend, and Simon knew it. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and offer an explanation.
But Hector, who had never laid eyes on Keith before, tugged at Simon's sleeve, his voice laced with dissatisfaction. "Simon, who is this guy? You don't need to explain anything to him. Autumn was the one in the wrong to begin with. She went way too far this time, bullying Luna like that. Simon, you have to stand up for Luna!"
In Hector's mind, anyone who sided with Autumn couldn't possibly be someone good. He didn't believe for a second that his sister, with her lowly status and abrasive attitude, could really befriend someone of real power.
Simon shot Hector a fierce glare, his lips pressed together in a tight line of warning.
But Hector took his silence as agreement. "Simon, Autumn wore a fake gown just to compete with Luna for her boyfriend. We can't let her get away with it! Luna finally started dating someone. If Autumn ruins it, think how devastated she'll be!"
The words hung in the air like poison. Autumn's hands clenched at her sides. She wanted to scream, to tell them they had it all wrong — that the gown was not fake, that she was not competing, that Luna was the one who had been scheming all along. But what was the point? They would never believe her. They had never believed her.
Keith's eyes darkened. His voice, when he spoke, was ice. "I suggest you hold your tongue, unless you wish to learn the consequences of slandering someone under my protection."
The temperature in the room seemed to drop by several degrees.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter was a whirlwind of emotions! I felt every bit of Autumn's pain and frustration as her so-called brothers once again chose Luna over her, without even asking for her side of the story. The way Simon and Hector ganged up on her, completely blind to the truth, made my blood boil. And then Keith's entrance — what a hero! That line about being her guardian sent chills down my spine. The dynamic between Autumn and her family is so heartbreaking and yet so compelling. The way Keith stood up for her, his tone shifting from cold to soft when addressing her, was just perfect. I am loving this protective side of him.
⭐ **Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars** — Absolutely gripping! The only reason I'm not giving full five is because I'm desperate to see Autumn finally get the justice she deserves.

## Next Chapter Prediction
Based on the cliffhanger, I predict that Keith will not let Hector's disrespect slide. He will likely reveal the truth about the "fake gown" — or perhaps expose that Autumn is actually Maddox, the famous designer behind the dress. This could shatter Simon and Hector's misconceptions and finally force them to see Autumn's true worth. But will it be too little, too late? And I also sense a brewing confrontation between Keith and Lucas — that silent scoff from Lucas hinted at an old rivalry or unspoken history. The next chapter promises fireworks!
