The Day I Quit Him (Autumn and Mars) novel Chapter 334

An answer that was both expected and unexpected.

Autumn Lopez paused, turning to look at Mars Wright.

It was like Mars had seized his last chance at salvation and hastily blurted out, “It’s true, I overheard

them say it.”

“At the time, Mr. Lopez and his wife were talking about the company. Your stepmom said she wanted everything left to Lydia. Your dad didn’t say anything, which made her think he regretted it,

wondering if he still had feelings for your mom.”

“Your dad still didn’t respond, and she got angry, mocking that men are emotional creatures who long for what they can’t have–even someone who betrayed them and acts like an internet troll can

be missed.”

Mars finished speaking and looked at Autumn with a pleading gaze. “Autumn, I’m telling the truth.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can do a paternity test.”

Autumn didn’t reply.

Mars racked his brain, saying everything he could think of.

“I actually suspected something before. When we were in school, Lydia told me she was the only daughter of the Lopez family, and I believed her.”

“Later, when we got married, I learned you were also a daughter of the Lopez family, and I was

puzzled about why you two were sisters yet so different.”

“When the Lopez company was about to go bankrupt, it was Lydia’s idea to hand it over to you while they went on vacation. They said since you have a business mind, why not use it while you can.”

“Might as well squeeze out your last bit of value.”

“But nobody expected you could actually revive the Lopez company.”

Mars spoke with red eyes, feeling both aggrieved and confused. “I didn’t expect the Lopez company would be on the brink of bankruptcy without you.”

“I was so stupid to believe everything their family of three said. Autumn, I realize now you’re the best thing in my world. Can you give me another chance…”

Autumn completely ignored Mars’s regretful plea and only asked, “Is that all?”

Mars was taken aback by Autumn’s composure after learning about her true parentage.

“Why aren’t you surprised at all? Did you already know about this?”

Autumn didn’t answer, and Mars was on the verge of breaking down. “So you knew all along and

still came here to play me?”

“Autumn, how can you do this to me?”

Even Ella couldn’t tolerate Mars’s changing demeanor.

“Ms. Lopez, we should go. This guy seems to have lost it.”

Mars’s feigned cries abruptly stopped.

Autumn almost laughed out loud.

Even Ella could tell Mars was losing his mind, and Autumn could definitely see it too.

Knowing Mars as she did, Autumn understood he was deliberately acting out to get her to save

him.

She had learned what she needed to know, and Autumn was tired of staying here to listen to Mars’s

madness.

“We should head back.”

Autumn took one last look at Mars and said, “I’ll take care of what I promised, but don’t bother with anything else.”

Autumn wasn’t planning to interfere with how the lawyer would handle Mars’s case.

Everything was left up to fate, and Mars would just have to face whatever came.

Mars didn’t expect Autumn to leave so decisively, his eyes widening as he shouted for her to stay.

“Wait, Autumn, I know more…”

“Don’t you want to know?”

“I’ll tell you; just don’t leave…”

Mars, desperate, thought he still held cards that could control Autumn.

Unaware that Autumn’s biggest mystery had already been unraveled.

She would investigate the other matters herself.

Although investigating herself would take time, it was better than listening to Mars’s nonsense.

From head to toes, Mars was utterly repulsive, and Autumn felt she couldn’t breathe if she stayed with him any longer.

“Autumn…”

No matter how Mars screamed and shouted, Autumn wouldn’t stop, watching as she truly left him behind. In Mars’s mind, it felt like something snapped.

“You all lied to me!”

“Women are really no good! Autumn, if you dare not save me, I’ll definitely kill you!”

It was the first time the prison guard had seen someone so bold.

Mars was already burdened with an assault case; just that case alone was enough to suffocate

him.

Yet he dared to yell and cause a scene at the Police Department, threatening murder.

The guard reported Mars’s behavior, flagging him as a key concern.

Mars was placed in solitary confinement, facing empty walls, and he finally felt fear.

Curled up in the corner, shivering.

All his arrogance vanished, and Mars cried out, “Autumn… please save me, Autumn…”

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his cries, and no one would respond.

As Autumn and Ella left the Police Department, Grace Wright immediately approached.

“Ms. Lopez, is everything alright?”

Autumn’s face was pale, and she weakly shook her head. “I’m fine, let’s go home.”

Although Autumn had maintained her composure in front of Mars, the situation was deeply

unsettling for her.

Autumn still had childhood memories of her parents‘ loving relationship, so she never imagined she might not be Mr. Lopez’s daughter.

Moreover, Mr. Lopez wasn’t always this harsh from the start. Autumn couldn’t believe this was the reason he didn’t love her.
