# Chapter 8: The Tangled Lies of the Lewis Household
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 8 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO." This chapter delivers a powerful emotional punch as we see Autumn caught in another web of manipulation, but this time, she's no longer the silent victim she used to be.
---
The scene opens with Luna playing her usual innocent game. She blinks up at Autumn with wide, confused eyes and asks, "Autumn, what's wrong?" Autumn simply smiles and says nothing. She knows exactly what Luna is doing—provoking her, testing her limits. Luna thinks Autumn won't cause a scene because her relationship with the rest of the Lewis family is already so strained. Every time Autumn visits, it's only to keep her grandmother company, and she barely speaks to anyone else.
But Luna has miscalculated terribly. She doesn't realize that Autumn no longer cares about Julian's opinions or anyone else's judgments. The old Autumn, who would have swallowed her pride and backed down, is gone.
With that quiet confidence, Autumn picks up the scissors, pulls the tag on Luna's dress into view, and is about to snip it off when a woman's sharp voice screams from the doorway.
"Autumn, what are you doing?"
Susan Rivers, the stepmother, rushes in like a storm. She slams a luxury shopping bag directly into Autumn's face. Startled, Autumn's hand slips—and the scissors jab into Luna's back. Blood immediately begins to seep through the white fabric. Luna lets out a soft cry of pain.
Susan panics, her face turning pale as she examines Luna from head to toe. "Blood? Luna, are you okay? Let me see where you're hurt."
Autumn raises her hand to block the shopping bag, her eyes turning cold. In that moment, she fully understands Luna's intention. This was a setup from the very beginning.
Just then, her second brother Hector walks in, carrying several shopping bags. Dressed in black casualwear, tall and broad-shouldered, he bears a clear resemblance to Autumn. He sets the bags down and looks at Susan. "What happened?"
Susan, who married into the family when the brothers were already seven or eight, has always been called by her first name. Now, with tears in her eyes, she pleads, "Autumn, if you're upset, take it out on me. Please don't hurt Luna, okay?"
She knows perfectly well that as a stepmother, the only way to survive in this household is to stay small and submissive. Everything she does is so Luna can depend on the Lewis family, find a good husband, and secure her future comfort. She has no choice but to swallow her anger and play the dutiful daughter-in-law.
But Hector's eyes fill with reproach as he looks at Autumn. "Autumn, how could you hurt Luna like that? You've gone too far. Apologize to her now. Every time you come home, it turns into a scene. Can't you just behave for once?"
Autumn freezes for a second, staring at her second brother whose features mirror her own. She remembers when their mother was sick, how he pounded his chest and promised to take care of his sister. But only a few years have passed, and Hector has become someone else entirely. Now, all she sees in his eyes is disappointment and contempt. Whenever Luna is involved, he sides with her without question.
Autumn's expression turns cold. "Ms. Rivers, if your eyesight's failing, you should see a doctor. Which eye of yours saw me hurting Luna? And you, barking without even asking what actually happened. Is being Luna's lapdog really that rewarding?"
Hector's face turns red with anger, veins bulging at his neck. He points at her, speechless.
Then Ginny, the grandmother, walks in. Her silver hair is neat, and she leans on a cane, supported by the driver. She carries a delicate gift bag. She taps her cane sharply against the floor. "I was the one who asked Autumn to come home. And every time she does, you people manage to stir up some drama. What is it? Do none of you respect this old woman anymore?"
The moment Autumn sees her grandmother, she hurries forward to help her. "Grandma, I'm fine. Don't be upset. It's not worth affecting your health over this."
She has grown used to this chaos. If it weren't for her grandmother, she wouldn't step foot in this house again.
Hector mutters in defiance, "Grandma, we weren't making a scene. Autumn was trying to hurt Luna. I was just upset and scolded her a little."
Ginny shoots him a sharp look. "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Hector falls silent.
Ginny sighs, her tone heavy with meaning. "Hector, Autumn is your sister by blood. Both of you are born from the same father and mother. You can't let a few words from someone else turn your heart cold toward your own sister."
Hector lowers his eyes, guilt flickering across his face. But he quickly buries the feeling.
Then Luna steps forward, eyes red, speaking to Ginny. "Grandma, it's my fault. I only asked Autumn to help me cut off the tag. I didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding. Mom, Hector, you both misunderstood her. Autumn wasn't trying to hurt me. This was all my fault."
But Ginny isn't fooled. "Then why didn't you speak up earlier? You stood there watching Autumn get blamed and looked quite pleased with yourself."
Luna's voice trembles. "No, Grandma, you've misunderstood. I really didn't want her to be scolded. I was just... too scared..."
Ginny cuts her off. "You were scared, so you let Autumn take the fall? Let her get scolded by her own brother? What exactly were you hoping to achieve?"
Susan quickly defends Luna. "Mom, Luna didn't mean it that way. It's my fault. I jumped to conclusions. Autumn, I'm sorry. I promise it won't happen again."
Autumn's lips curve into a faint, mocking smile. She doesn't hold back as she tears through the lie. "Ms. Rivers, last time when Luna fell into the pool, you said the same thing. How many times have you made a vow by now? You repeat the same mistake every time. At this point, your credibility with me is zero."

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a gripping chapter! The tension in the Lewis household is palpable. I love how Autumn has finally found her voice—she's no longer the doormat everyone can walk over. The grandmother is a wonderful ally, seeing through Luna's act immediately. But the betrayal from Hector stings the most. A brother should defend his sister, not side with a manipulative outsider. This chapter brilliantly sets up the ongoing power struggle, and I can't wait to see Autumn stand her ground even more.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
Now that Autumn has openly challenged Luna and Susan, the gloves are off. Luna will likely escalate her schemes, perhaps trying to turn Julian against Autumn even more—or worse, target Autumn's grandmother to isolate her completely. But Autumn, now armed with her divorce secret and newfound independence, might finally reveal her hand. Will she expose Luna's true nature to the entire family? And what role will Julian play when he hears about this incident? The next chapter promises explosive confrontations!
