Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 201

Luna winced from Jasmine’s grip, then stood and said to Jack, “Sergeant Lowe, my cousin was only joking with Miss Lewis. There’s no need to make this a police matter.

“I’m truly sorry to have wasted your time. I’ll have my cousin apologize to Miss Lewis and explain everything—then it’ll be resolved.”

She never expected Autumn would actually call the police, let alone that Keith would indulge her so completely.

The Lyric Lounge didn’t allow entry without a reservation, unless someone gave instructions to make an exception for the police.

So, on the surface, it looked as though Keith hadn’t paid much attention to Autumn’s wishes.

But in reality, whatever Autumn wanted to do, he supported her silently, without hesitation.

Thinking of that possibility, Luna realized their chances were slim. She wasn’t really trying to defend Jasmine, only to chip away at Autumn’s edge.

At tonight’s dinner, Autumn had stolen all the attention. Everyone present had been put in their place by her, except Keith.

Luna had to say something for Jasmine’s sake.

Otherwise, her good-girl image would collapse.

Jack didn’t look at Luna.

Instead, his eyes fell on Autumn. “Miss Lewis, this young lady says she’ll have Miss Far apologize. Do you agree to reconcile?”

Autumn didn’t even hesitate. “I don’t agree.”

With one sentence, she cut off Jasmine’s only way out.

Jasmine’s legs gave way, and she collapsed back into her chair.

With the police present, and the Sinclair heir backing her, no one dared speak up for Jasmine.

Autumn hadn’t expected Julian to speak up for Jasmine.

She froze for half a second before snapping coldly, “Jasmine Far attacked me personally—shouldn’t that carry criminal responsibility?

“I’m only trying to protect my own rights, yet all of you are defending Jasmine, as if I don’t have anyone to stand up for me, is that it?

“No matter how much you argue, I won’t agree to reconcile. If this has to go to court, then so be it. Just like with Sienna Carter, we’ll settle it before a judge.”

She was determined to pursue this to the end.

She couldn’t stand Jasmine. A wilted rose that insisted on crawling back like a cockroach—always popping up and forcing herself into her path.

If Jasmine didn’t learn her lesson now, she’d go on thinking a simple apology could erase her mistakes.

At the mention of Sienna, Julian’s face darkened instantly. “Miss Lewis, you do seem to enjoy pressing every advantage, don’t you?”
