Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 187

What was Autumn trying to do—destroy them all before she’d be satisfied?

The more Hector thought about it, the angrier he became.

He was about to stand and confront her when Simon caught his arm.

“Don’t be impulsive. Right now she’s got the Sinclair heir backing her. If you go at her recklessly, we’ll all pay for it.

“There will be plenty of chances to deal with her. No need to rush it now—crossing Keith Sinclair is no small matter.”

Hector’s face flushed red with fury, but he could only sit there and stew.

Autumn had gone too far this time, daring to stab them in the back like this.

They weren’t going to let her off easily.

So, what if she was their sister? Anyone who sided with an outsider to betray her own family didn’t deserve forgiveness.

Luna chose her words carefully. “Mr. Sinclair, could there be some misunderstanding here? We truly didn’t know about Grandma’s illness.

“Technically, this is a Lewis family matter. I’m just wondering—how did you come to know about it?

“Could it be you were misled by someone, which caused you to get the wrong idea about us? If that’s the case, then it’s easy to clear up.”

She paused, then continued, “I’ve met this Miss Lewis before, when I went to Vanguard to discuss a deal.

“The interaction wasn’t pleasant, and there were some misunderstandings.

“My guess is she might have heard certain rumors, which led to this misconception.

“Rest assured, Mr. Sinclair, we’ll handle our family affairs ourselves. There’s no need to let something this minor disrupt a potential partnership.”

She hadn’t expected Keith to bring up Ginny’s situation—it caught her off guard.

She did know about it.

Irene had called her Hector’s phone, but she had been the one to answer.

She hadn’t said a word, so Irene would have assumed Hector took the call.

Every time something went wrong, Luna always managed to make herself look blameless.

This time, Autumn wasn’t about to let her get away with it.

Keith, unhurried, peeled a shrimp and placed it on Autumn’s plate. “Of course I don’t believe it.”

Hearing the exchange, Luna’s composure nearly cracked.

Damn Autumn—how dare she undercut her at a time like this?

Did she not want to return to the Lewis family at all?

But then another thought struck her—this was actually the perfect chance to make her two brothers resent their dear little sister even more.

With that, Luna softened her tone. “Miss Lewis, I know we’ve had some misunderstandings in the past that left you unhappy with me.

“But this isn’t the time to air personal grievances. If you have an issue with me, we can settle it privately.”
