He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 207

**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**

**Chapter 207: The Lawyer’s Bail**

Robert and Oralia were transfixed, their eyes glued to the glowing screen of her phone, their minds racing with disbelief.

“What… How is this even possible?” Robert stammered, his voice barely above a whisper, as if speaking too loudly might shatter the fragile reality before them.

The report was unequivocal and chilling. Charles had been poisoned. The insidious toxin had been stealthily mixed into his meals, a slow-acting agent that had been administered over a considerable period. This was no accident; it was a meticulously orchestrated plan. And now, they held the undeniable evidence in their hands.

“So, the puppet master remains hidden within the Myers family,” Oralia murmured, her thoughts spilling out as she pondered aloud. “Could it be Arthur? He stands to gain the most from Mr. Charles Myers’ downfall. With him out of the way, he would seize control of the entire family legacy.” Her brow furrowed, confusion etching deeper lines on her face. “But then again, the family would have eventually been his anyway. What could possibly drive him to such treachery?”

“Whoever it is, their ultimate aim was to eliminate Mr. Charles Myers,” Chloe interjected, her voice low and heavy with gravity. “If Arthur weren’t by his side right now, Mr. Charles would already be a ghost. He can’t afford to die—not yet.”

Chloe’s expression darkened, a storm brewing behind her eyes. She owed Charles a debt, a significant one at that. Now that he was in peril, she felt an undeniable pull to intervene—just this once.

Yet, her motivations ran deeper. There was a question gnawing at her, one that demanded a face-to-face confrontation. She needed to unearth the truth about the man from that fateful night. Deep down, she was convinced that Charles knew the truth, that the man in question was not Arthur.

Getting entangled in this web was a gamble, one that could ensnare her even further in the chaotic world of the Myers family.

But what choice did she have? She had to confront it sooner or later. Why cower in fear now?

Charles had been her savior in the past. Without his intervention, she might not have been standing here today. This was her way of repaying his kindness. As for his blind grandson, their paths had diverged. It was time for him to figure out his own life.

By her estimates, Zachary should have wrapped up his work by now.

In a posh steakhouse nestled in the heart of downtown, Arthur meticulously adjusted his suit, ensuring every detail was perfect. Tonight was special, and he had taken extra care with his appearance—sharp, crisp, and undeniably dapper. Before stepping out, he had spritzed himself with cologne, the scent lingering like a promise. He had even arranged for Donald to procure a bouquet of Frankfurt perfume roses, a gesture meant to impress.

As the flowers arrived, he placed them delicately on the table, a centerpiece for the evening. He had reserved the entire restaurant, transforming what should have been a bustling dinner hour into a private, intimate setting, the ambiance warm and inviting, perfect for romance.

Arthur glanced at his watch, anticipation thrumming through him. Just three minutes remained until the meeting time he had orchestrated with his lawyer.

Chloe would come.
