He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 210

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

**Chapter 210: The Blackmail**

Madilyn leaned back in her chair, her eyes narrowing as she regarded Jennifer with a cold, disdainful laugh. “Oh, don’t think for a moment that I’m oblivious to your little scheme,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Donald might have sent you packing, but let’s be honest—you never truly left, did you? You’ve been lurking in the shadows, biding your time for this very moment. You think you can leverage this situation to coerce Arthur into marrying you?” She cast a contemptuous glance over Jennifer, as if she were a mere insect beneath her shoe. “But here’s the truth: I am the one who holds the reins of the Myers family. As long as I’m standing in your way, you will never step foot into our family.”

Jennifer maintained her composure, a serene smile gracing her lips, as if Madilyn’s venomous words merely rolled off her back like water off a duck.

Madilyn pressed on, her voice sharp and unyielding. “I even managed to send Chloe packing. And you? What makes you think you’re any more deserving than her?”

With a calmness that belied the tension in the air, Jennifer replied, “Mrs. Myers, I’ve always respected you for Arthur’s sake. But now that he’s no longer here, we can drop the pretense, can’t we?” She leaned back in her chair, an air of confidence surrounding her. “Arthur will have no choice but to marry me. I am destined to become the lady of the Myers household, and you will support me in this. No room for debate.”

Madilyn’s eyes flashed with indignation. “Dream on,” she retorted, her tone laced with disbelief.

“Don’t be so hasty to dismiss my proposal. Just hear me out before you make any rash decisions,” Jennifer countered, a sly smile playing on her lips as she gestured for silence. “I need your backing in this, which means we shouldn’t be adversaries—we should unite as allies. Don’t you see the logic in that?”

Madilyn’s glare was icy, her disgust evident as she scrutinized Jennifer, searching for any hint of weakness.

“Mrs. Myers, imagine for a moment if Arthur were to discover that you had another child hidden away from the family. Can you picture little siblings waiting in the wings, ready to contest his claim to the inheritance? Don’t you think he would loathe you for such a betrayal?” Jennifer’s smile sharpened, a predatory glint in her eyes.

Madilyn’s face drained of color, a wave of shock washing over her.

She stared at Jennifer, her mind racing. How could this woman possibly know such a deeply buried secret? It was a truth that had remained hidden for years, known only to a select few.

“It’s not possible,” Madilyn insisted, her voice trembling slightly.

“Let’s drop the charade, shall we? I know everything,” Jennifer said, her tone casual yet menacing. “I even know precisely what Mr. Charles Myers witnessed right before he collapsed.” Suddenly, she clamped a hand over her mouth, feigning surprise. “Oh dear, I shouldn’t have mentioned that. My apologies. Sometimes I just can’t help myself.”

Madilyn’s anger flared momentarily, but she quickly suppressed it, her expression hardening into a mask of resolve.

“What is it that you want from me?” she finally asked, her voice low and resigned.
