Chapter 108
Hearing those whispers, Luna instantly understood why Ethan had brushed her off twice.
She never imagined Autumn, who wasn’t even divorced yet, would already be getting involved with another
man.
Absolutely shameless.
Now, she was almost certain it was Autumn whispering in Ethan’s ear, causing all the delays in their partnership.
The deal had already been finalized by her brother.
Everything was ready, they were just waiting to sign.
And yet, Ethan kept dragging it out. At first, she thought he was just putting on airs to test them.
But now? She no longer believed that.
Autumn had always been at odds with her growing up, and now she had this inappropriate relationship with Ethan.
Clearly, this was personal revenge under the guise of business.
Turning away a business partner twice for the sake of a woman-what kind of character did that show?
A smirk tugged at Luna’s lips.
Letting a petty woman get the upper hand for a moment meant nothing.
Anything gained by clinging to a man would never last.
She never expected Autumn to fall so low-relying on a man just to survive.
As she watched Autumn walk into Ethan’s office, Luna’s eyes flashed with disdain.
Women like Autumn were exactly the kind she looked down on the most.
She had no real ability, just a pretty face that latched onto men.
First Julian, and now that he wasn’t useful anymore, she moved on to Ethan.
And to make it worse, she even persuaded Ethan to give her a hard time.
With a boss as easily swayed as him, it was no wonder Vanguard might be heading toward collapse.
Jasmine caught up just then, leaning in to whisper, “Lama, I can’t believe Autumn has that kind of pull. Back when she was at Carter Group, she was already involved with Julian Carter.
“She got fired, and now she’s wrapped herself around Vanguard’s boss. Gotta admit, she’s really got a talent for seducing men.”

She never would’ve guessed that beneath Autumn’s sweet, innocent face hid such a manipulative heart.
She was just like her mother-relying on men to keep her footing.
Without a man, she’d crumble.
Luna let out a light scoff. “Let her have her moment. Mr. Sharp will see our sincerity soon enough.”
In other words, it was only a matter of time before Ethan saw through Autumn’s true colors and when that day came, she’d like to see how smug Autumn still dared to be.
As for the partnership, since Ethan was clearly making things difficult on purpose, there was nothing more they could do.
All they could hope for was to gradually build rapport.
As long as they showed enough sincerity, they’d eventually gain the upper hand.
With that in mind, Luna stopped paying attention to Autumn.
Just then, the elevator arrived, and she stepped in and left.
Autumn delivered the documents to Ethan’s office.
He was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, speaking on the phone with a serious look on his face.
She placed the documents on his desk. “Mr. Sharp, these are the files submitted by the tech department today. Please have a look.”
Ethan glanced at her, pulled the phone slightly away from his ear, and said quietly, “Go have some cake on the sofa and wait for me. I need to talk to you in a bit.”
She nodded. “Alright.”
Walking over to the sofa, Autumn glanced at the coffee table.
A small box of delicate strawberry-flavored cakes sat there.
So, he still remembered her favorite flavor. Her nose tingled with emotion.
Her mind drifted back to four years ago, when she was leading a research team in the lab,
On her birthday, her senior had secretly gathered everyone and threw her a special celebration,
She remembered him asking her what her favorite fruit was. She’d told him-strawberries.
