The Day I Quit Him (Autumn and Mars) novel Chapter 134

**Chasing Light, Finding Peace by Rohan Verma**
**Chapter 134**

“Is it possible they got together that quickly?”

Autumn’s mind was a whirlwind of disbelief, struggling to process the shocking news. Just yesterday, hadn’t she seen Hannah and Mars in what she thought was a harmless friendship?

Did they even take a moment to pause before plunging into this new relationship?

“Hannah was only in the office for a few hours,” the private investigator remarked, his voice flat and devoid of any empathy. “Would you like to view the entire video, Ms. Lopez?”

A soft “damn” slipped from Autumn’s lips, barely a whisper yet heavy with the weight of her shock.

The depths of Mars’s treachery unfurled before her like a grotesque flower, leaving her utterly speechless.

She had genuinely believed in Mars’s devotion to Lydia, convinced that he would never dare to betray her again.

But the truth was far more sordid—he was nothing more than a player, a master manipulator, and an incorrigible liar.

Once a cheater, always a cheater. The harsh reality echoed painfully in her mind.

“No, I’m fine,” she replied, her voice steady but tinged with bitterness.

The last thing she wanted was to witness an intimate moment involving her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Yet, what truly unsettled her was the realization that Hannah’s feelings for Mars ran so deep.

To think that she would throw herself at him after all these years, fully aware that he was still married to Autumn and entangled with Lydia.

“She also quit her job,” the investigator continued, his tone unwavering as he delivered the information. “After the Bennett Group issued that warning, her boss was already looking for an excuse to let her go. Honestly, Hannah doesn’t possess any real design talent; her time abroad was spent partying rather than studying. If her family hadn’t pulled strings to secure her that position, she wouldn’t have been hired at all.”

“Then she managed to annoy Mr. Bennett on her very first day. He had a massive headache because of it.”

“So when Hannah offered to resign, it was like a blessing in disguise for him,” he concluded, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gauged Autumn’s reaction.

“If she quit, where does she plan to go?”

Autumn’s mind raced with questions. From Hannah’s recent behavior, it seemed she was in dire need of that job.

Yet here she was, quitting as if it were merely a game to her.

“To Cloudbreak.”

The investigator swiftly sent over a snapshot of an appointment letter.

“Mars just appointed Hannah as the Chief Secretary,” he stated, a hint of amusement creeping into his voice.

Autumn was momentarily rendered speechless, her mind grappling with the audacity of Mars.

One moment he was promoting Lydia, and the next, he was replacing her with Hannah.

It was as if Mars was doling out the Chief Secretary title to anyone he fancied sleeping with.

How incredibly juvenile.

“Is Lydia aware of this?”

“I don’t believe so.”

Each of them was ensnared in their own webs of deceit, and Lydia was certainly preoccupied with her own schemes at the moment.

A wry smile crept onto Autumn’s lips.

She had assumed the real drama would unfold once Mars received the divorce papers, but it seemed none of them were willing to remain passive.

“Then find a way to inform her,” she instructed, a sense of satisfaction bubbling within her.

Let the Lopez family and Mars engage in their own battles. She just had to endure the final days of this cooling-off period, and at last, she would be free.

“Consider it done.”

The private investigator was nothing if not efficient. Within thirty minutes, news of Cloudbreak’s new Chief Secretary began circulating on Facebook.

Typically, no one would care about who occupied the chief secretary’s chair.

At the end of the day, it was merely a staff change.

But Lydia had made such a spectacle about her position, spamming her social media with posts showcasing how she had snagged the job from her own sister.

Now that the title was no longer hers, those who had grown weary of Lydia were quick to post snarky, passive-aggressive comments.

The company-wide group chat at Cloudbreak buzzed with activity.

When Lydia caught wind of the news, she absolutely lost her composure.

She stormed into the group chat, tagging HR, and demanded to know if they were illiterate.

[How could you screw up something so simple? I suggest you pack your things and get the hell out! You’ll regret it when Mars hears about this!]

The group chat fell into stunned silence for over a minute following Lydia’s outburst.
