# Chapter 166: The Burden of Injustice and the Bitter Taste of Freedom
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 166 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" – a chapter that burns with righteous fury, where old wounds are opened, new battles are declared, and Autumn shows us exactly why underestimating her is a fool's game.

The situation had spiraled hopelessly out of control. Despite George's desperate, breathless protests of innocence – his sworn declarations that someone had set him up – the other party refused to budge an inch. They were adamant, digging in their heels, insisting that George had acted with malicious intent. And with witnesses lining up, physical evidence stacked against him, and public opinion like gasoline on a fire, panic had already swept through the entire community like a plague. In the end, what choice did anyone have? Without proof, without a single thread of evidence to grab onto, George's name remained tarnished beyond repair. They followed procedure. They locked him away. And an innocent man carried that shame to his grave.
Autumn listened to all of this, her eyes rimmed with red, the tears threatening to spill but held back by sheer willpower. "Yes," she said, her voice thick with emotion. "But my uncle really was framed. Can you give me your uncle's number? I have evidence that can prove it."
Her heart clenched painfully as she thought about it – how her uncle had carried that terrible injustice with him every single day, never willing to talk about what had happened, always finding some excuse to drag himself out of the shadows and pretend everything was fine. The thought of it made her hands curl into fists. She wanted to wring Jasmine's neck. That woman deserved to rot in the darkest corner of hell for what she'd done. She'd lived free and easy for far too many years, parading around with her clean reputation and her smug smile. It was past time she learned what it felt like to lose everything. And Autumn intended to make sure she learned that lesson piece by piece, bite by bitter bite.
The traffic light ahead turned red. Selena hit the brakes and pulled out her phone, her expression grim but determined. "Alright, I'll send you his contact on WhatsApp right now. Honestly, your uncle's case has always been a sore spot in my family. But with no evidence back then, and the scandal being what it was... there was no way to clear his name. Autumn, if you need anything – anything at all – just say the word. I'll help you investigate this."
By the time Autumn returned to her own car, the clock had already crept past ten at night. The streets were dim, the city settling into its nightly rhythm. She had just turned the key in the ignition when her eyes caught a familiar scene that made her blood run cold – yet oddly, her heart remained calm.
There was Luna, her arm hooked possessively through Julian's, all smiles and radiant confidence. And following a few steps behind, Sienna played the doting younger sister. The three of them were chatting and laughing together, performing the perfect picture of a warm, happy family for anyone who happened to be watching. Simon, it seemed, had already made his exit earlier.
But then Sienna spotted her. And like a predator who had found wounded prey, she made a beeline straight for Autumn's car.
Leaning toward the window with a sneer that twisted her pretty features into something ugly, Sienna said, "Had a good look? My brother and future sister-in-law make a lovely couple, don't they? Jealous? Don't tell me you regret divorcing my brother. Too bad you missed your chance. Even if you hadn't divorced him, he wouldn't spare you a glance. A scheming woman like you doesn't deserve his love. You'd better give up now."
She had always looked down on Autumn – those little tricks of hers, Sienna believed, weren't even worth noticing. And no matter how desperate Autumn became, she would never catch her brother's attention again. After all, her brother had long since seen through all of Autumn's usual tricks and built up complete immunity to them.
But Autumn's lips curled into a mocking smile – the kind of smile that cut deeper than any shouted insult. "Miss Carter, not only is your character rotten, but you're blind and clueless too. Luna picked up the trash I tossed away. I couldn't be happier about it. Leaving the Carter family means I don't have to tiptoe around anymore, and I'm done waiting on your whole clan. Why wouldn't I be thrilled about that? Tell me, when my life is this good now, doing whatever I please, why on earth would I want to go back and suffer? I'm not stupid."
And she meant every single word. Compared to her days trapped inside the Carter household, living under their constant judgment and moral guilt-tripping, she truly enjoyed being alone. No constraints. No endless expectations. No walking on eggshells. She could live exactly how she wanted, and it was glorious.
Sienna's face twisted with barely contained rage, her teeth grinding together. "Don't get too full of yourself, Autumn. I want to see how long you can keep up this arrogance without the Carter family behind you."
Autumn's smirk only deepened, sharp and dangerous. "Miss Carter, you'd better worry about your own problems. Your court date's on the sixteenth – less than ten days away. Maybe start thinking about how you're going to win that case. Because if you end up in custody with a criminal record, that perfect little life of yours is going to be permanently stained."
The words hung in the air like a death sentence, and for the first time that night, Sienna had nothing clever to say in return.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating**
Oh, this chapter was absolutely delicious! Watching Autumn stand her ground and throw Sienna's own venom back in her face was deeply satisfying. She's no longer the woman who had to swallow every insult, every humiliation. She's free, and she knows it. And more importantly, she's gathering the evidence to clear her uncle's name. Jasmine's days of peace are numbered, and I cannot wait to see justice served. The contrast between Autumn's quiet, righteous determination and the Carters' hollow, performative happiness is stark. Julian may have Luna on his arm, but Autumn has something far more valuable – her freedom and the truth.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction**
I predict that Autumn will contact Selena's uncle and begin the process of confronting the old evidence. But Jasmine won't go down without a fight – she'll likely catch wind of Autumn's investigation and try to silence her or twist the narrative again. Meanwhile, Sienna's trial is looming, and the pressure will crack her carefully crafted facade. The courtroom drama is about to begin, and I suspect Julian may finally realize he backed the wrong horse. But by then, will it be too late?
