He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 198

**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain**
**by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 198: The One-Dollar Humiliation**

The atmosphere inside Lewis Manor was thick with tension as the family returned from the press conference, each member grappling with the revelations that had just unfolded. Monique, in particular, found herself ensnared in a whirlwind of disbelief. Chloe—the girl they had once rescued from obscurity—was not just anyone; she was the mastermind behind the globally renowned luxury brand, LOVELESS. The implications of this truth sent Monique’s mind reeling.

A bitter chuckle escaped her lips, echoing off the walls like a ghost of her former confidence. Six years prior, Chloe had seemed so vulnerable, so lost when they pulled her from that fishing village. Had it all been an elaborate ruse? Monique’s thoughts spiraled deeper, each question fueling her frustration. Chloe had severed ties with the Lewis family so decisively; was that a calculated move from the start?

The more Monique pondered, the more her anger boiled within her. That girl had played them all like puppets. Damn her for her cunning!

In stark contrast, Carolyn maintained a composure that bordered on eerie. She had anticipated stirring up trouble at the press event, perhaps tarnishing the Cosmos Group’s reputation. But Madilyn had outmaneuvered them, creating a scene that had worked to their advantage in ways they hadn’t foreseen.

As they settled in to watch the chaos unfold, they were blindsided by the revelation of Chloe’s identity. Chloe—the founder of LOVELESS. The enormity of her wealth and influence was staggering. How had everything shifted so dramatically in such a short span of time?

Carolyn observed her mother’s simmering rage, while her father, Scott, sat frozen on the couch, his mind struggling to grasp the reality of Chloe’s transformation. He muttered regretfully about the day he had kicked Chloe out and signed those papers, severing their ties.

Ha! So what if Chloe was the brains behind LOVELESS? Carolyn thought bitterly. She would ensure that Chloe would never find her way back into the Lewis family fold.

Meanwhile, at the Myers Manor, the atmosphere was markedly subdued.

Arthur arrived home, utterly drained, his body heavy with fatigue. Donald had driven him back, and the ominous threat Leo had made during the press conference had manifested into a harsh reality—LOVELESS had filed a lawsuit against his mother for slander.

Their legal team was relentless, showing no mercy as they laid out the charges. The Myers family had no choice but to accept the terms, a bitter pill to swallow.

Acceptance meant facing public humiliation.

LOVELESS demanded not only a public apology from Madilyn but also compensation.

If the brand had asked for millions, Arthur would have met the demand without a second thought; after all, he was the CEO of Myers Group. But the figure they settled on was infuriatingly trivial—one dollar.

Just one single dollar.
