The Day I Quit Him (Autumn and Mars) novel Chapter 289

“Hannah King?”

The color drained from several faces in the crowd.

Evidently, Hannah King wasn’t a nobody, so plenty of people recognized the name.

Now, hearing that she was tangled up with two men at the same time, everyone felt like there was

just too much drama for one day–they were overwhelmed.

“Is this the same Hannah King I’m thinking of?”

“I thought she just got back in the country not long ago, right? She was a designer. I even went to

the studio where she worked.”

“That’s the one. The King family’s daughter. Awful temper, always acts like some pampered heiress

but it turns out she’s just a bargaining chip her family’s been grooming for a marriage alliance.”

“I heard Mr. King laid it on the line. If she can’t bring value to the family, she might as well get married off early and earn them a decent dowry.”

Autumn had looked into Hannah before, so she wasn’t surprised by the crowd’s chatter.

She had never retaliated against Hannah for interfering in her marriage.

After all, she had tacitly allowed it to happen.

Lydia had been so smug back then. Having Hannah in the ring to compete with her quickly turned the situation into a total dumpster fire where they were tearing each other apart.

Autumn just hadn’t expected Hannah to have a boyfriend of her own.

In other words, Hannah was already with someone else when she got involved with Mars Wright.

The relationships between these people were truly a complicated mess.

“Hannah who? I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Mars’s eyes darted around nervously.

He was kicking himself. He had been thinking of Hannah as his final escape route.

If he couldn’t convince Autumn to take him back today, he’d just settle down and build a life with

Hannah.

After all, Hannah was an heiress to the King family fortune, and her management skills weren’t bad. He’d been able to live so carefreely recently precisely because he had handed the company over to

her.

He knew his own limitations, so he’d never planned on running the company himself.

Mars had never imagined that Hannah–the woman who claimed she was devoted to him and had been waiting for him all these years–actually had another man on the side.

Which meant he’d become the other man in someone else’s relationship.

Mars wanted to throw his head back and laugh, to mock himself for finally getting cheated on too.

But the laugh died in his throat.

“That bitch Hannah!”

Mars was already numb from the public humiliation, but he never thought Hannah would add another layer to his joke of a life.

The thought that Hannah was also tied to his falling out with the Lopez family, and that she had even caused Lydia’s disfigurement, sent a fresh wave of old and new hatred crashing over him. Mars couldn’t stop himself from cursing her out.

“How dare she lie to me! She was the one who said she couldn’t forget me even after going abroad, that she wanted to be with me and only me. How dare she lie!”

“If she hadn’t seduced me, telling me she just wanted to be by my side, why would I have cheated

with her?”

“I never even liked her! I just figured she was throwing herself at me, and I’d be a fool not to take what was offered. How the hell was I supposed to know she was your woman?”

The man’s fury surged again when he heard Mars talking about Hannah like that.

“You animal!”

“We’ve been together for years! We were about to get engaged! If you hadn’t stuck your nose in, why would she have just ghosted me?”

“You son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you today!”

“You goddamn scumbag! Cheating on one person after another, and you think you’re in the right? You can’t even keep it in your pants! What kind of man are you?!”

The security guards were completely unable to stop the enraged man. They could only watch helplessly as he charged forward and laid into Mars with another round of vicious blows.

In the chaos, no one knew what the man stepped on, but a bloodcurdling scream tore from Mars’s throat. A shiver ran through everyone present, the sound terrifying them.

“Oh my god…”

Nina gasped.

Autumn followed her gaze and saw Mars clutching his lower body, writhing on the ground. His agony easily brought to mind something both tragic and darkly hilarious.

“He didn’t just get… wrecked, did he?”

Someone in the chaotic crowd asked the question out loud.

Then, a silent virus seemed to spread through the room.

The scene slowly fell quiet.

Only Mars’s agonizing cries continued to echo.

The man clearly realized what he’d done. He threw out a hasty, “It’s not my fault, he had it coming,” and bolted.

Security guards quickly pulled out their phones to call the police while others rushed over to check on Mars.

The head of security ran over to exchange a few words with Owen. In the end, the party concluded with the arrival of the police.

As the guests were leaving, they were still buzzing with excitement.

This was, without a doubt, the most spectacular drama of the year.

On their way out, their fingers were flying across their phones, clearly eager to be the first to spread the story of the day’s events.

Seeing this, Nina grew worried.

“Owen, are you just going to let them spread all those rumors?”

Nina was afraid they would slander her sister–in–law. She really didn’t understand. Autumn was the one who had been hurt the most in all this, so why was everyone so tolerant of the scumbag, while giving the victim the cold shoulder and even mocking her?

“You can’t stop them.”

Owen’s view was identical to Autumn’s.

“Trying to shut everyone up will only make them more relentless.”

“It’s fine. Your sister–in–law can handle it.”

Nina was struck with a sense of awe.

“You two really are a perfect match.”

“That’s almost exactly what she told me.”

A faint smile touched Owen’s lips. Remembering the pile of things he still had to deal with, he said, “Alright, you head home for today. I’ve got things covered here with Autumn.”

Nina was about to agree immediately, but then she remembered that her own aunt and uncle had been involved in the earlier drama, and she grew nervous again.

“Will Autumn be okay? My uncle and them…”

Owen gave Nina a reassuring look.

“I’m here.”

Nina trusted Owen completely, so she nodded. “Okay, then I’ll head home first.”

“Call me anytime if Autumn needs me.”

Owen squinted, studying her for a moment.

“I thought you started an internship.”

“Ah… I did, but my hours are really flexible.”

As a concept artist, her job was heavily dependent on inspiration. More importantly, Nina couldn’t
