Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 130 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" — a chapter that cuts deep into the heart, where grief and betrayal collide on the most painful of days.

The phone rang, shattering the fragile peace of the evening.
Autumn glanced at the screen and felt her stomach drop. Jason. Julian's lawyer. Why would he be calling her now?
She answered, and his voice came through the line — cold, formal, completely businesslike. "Miss Lewis, we've confirmed the court hearing for tomorrow at ten a.m. We hope you can arrive on time."
The words hit her like a physical blow.
Tomorrow.
Of all the days in the year, Julian had chosen *tomorrow*.
She stood frozen, the phone still pressed to her ear long after the call had ended. Her mind couldn't seem to process what she'd just heard. Tomorrow was her mother's three-year death anniversary. The day she had set aside to mourn, to remember, to pay her respects. And Julian had picked that exact day to drag her to court.
Had he forgotten? Or did he simply not care?
She didn't know what words could possibly describe the feeling that flooded through her now. Betrayal? Anger? Heartbreak? None of them seemed enough.
Keith walked out of the kitchen just as she lowered the phone. His sharp eyes locked onto her immediately, reading the distress written plainly across her face.
"Your ex-husband is suing you? And he picked your mother's death anniversary to do it?"
Autumn stared at the darkened phone screen and nodded weakly. "Yeah... sorry you had to see this."
She could barely stay on her feet. Her legs felt like they might give out at any moment. She gripped the edge of the table, holding on as if it were the only thing keeping her upright. Her whole body trembled — not from cold, but from raw, boiling anger.
How could Julian treat her like this? Didn't he believe in karma? Didn't he understand that one day, everything would come back to him?
She hated letting Keith see her at such a low point. She hated appearing weak, vulnerable, broken. But right now, she simply didn't have the strength to pretend anymore. She felt like a balloon that had completely deflated — all the air gone, nothing left but an empty shell. She slumped into a chair, her mind blank, not knowing what to do next.
Keith pulled out the chair next to her and sat down. His presence was steady, grounding. "Do you need help?"
Autumn steadied herself, took a shaky breath, and shook her head. "No. You're already busy. I shouldn't trouble you with everything."
She had learned her lesson about relying on others. She had leaned on Julian too much in the past, and that had only led to deeper wounds. There was nothing left from that relationship except scars and sickness. She would handle this on her own. She had to.
But Keith's dark eyes rested heavily on her, his lips pressed into a tight line. He didn't say a word, but the pressure he gave off was impossible to ignore. It filled the space between them, heavy and suffocating.
Autumn clutched the hem of her shirt, feeling a chill run down her spine. A wave of cold intensity seemed to rush at her, and she didn't understand why. She hadn't asked him for help. She hadn't done anything wrong. So why did he look so upset?
"Autumn." His voice came from above, low and restrained, like a storm barely held in check. "Why is your ex-husband suing you?"
The tension in the air was palpable — like the calm before a hurricane, thick and suffocating. It made it hard to sit still, hard to breathe.
Autumn pressed her lips together, finding it difficult to speak. But eventually, she told him the truth. She told him everything — the divorce, the debts, the endless harassment. And for some reason, by the time she reached the end of her story, her eyes had turned red.
Maybe it was because every time Keith appeared, she inexplicably felt safe enough to lower her guard. Maybe it was because, despite everything, she trusted him enough to show him the most vulnerable side of herself.
A flicker of complex emotion passed through Keith's dark eyes — something she couldn't quite read, couldn't quite understand. Then he spoke, his voice firm and steady. "Just focus on what you need to do tomorrow. Leave the rest to me."
Those words alone soothed the restless anxiety in her heart. For the first time all evening, she felt like she could breathe.
"Thank you, Senior," she whispered.
"Mm." Keith raised his wrist to glance at his watch. "I've got a meeting coming up. I'll head out first."
She watched him leave, his broad shoulders disappearing through the door. Then she quickly got herself ready and went out as well.
She headed to her uncle's house to help her aunt prepare the offerings for the next day. It was a small comfort, keeping her hands busy, focusing on the rituals of remembrance. Time passed quickly, and soon, the day of the memorial arrived.
Autumn got up early. Her mood was heavy, and she looked visibly drained. The weight of what lay ahead pressed down on her shoulders — the grief of honoring her mother, and the bitter irony of facing Julian in court on the same day.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter absolutely *wrecked* me. The cruelty of Julian choosing her mother's death anniversary to take her to court is beyond painful — it's calculated, heartless, and speaks volumes about his character. Autumn's vulnerability here is so raw and real, especially when she breaks down in front of Keith. And Keith's quiet protectiveness? The way he simply says "leave the rest to me" without asking for anything in return? It's the kind of steady support Autumn has been desperately needing. This chapter perfectly balances grief, anger, and the faint glimmer of hope that maybe — just maybe — Keith will step in and handle things. The emotional depth here is stunning.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
I think the next chapter is going to be an emotional battlefield. Autumn will have to face the court hearing on the same day she's mourning her mother, and Julian is likely going to show up with some new low — maybe bringing up her mother to hurt her, or trying to manipulate the situation in his favor. But I have a strong feeling Keith isn't going to stay on the sidelines. He's clearly invested, and I think we might see him pull some strings or make a dramatic appearance to protect Autumn. The real question is: will Autumn let him help, or will her pride and past trauma make her push him away?
