He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 219

**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 219: Carolyn’s Failed Power Play**

“Chloe, if you were planning to drop by, it would have been courteous to give me a heads-up,” Carolyn remarked, her expression a carefully crafted mask of helplessness.

She shot an irritated glance at the security personnel stationed nearby. “The ‘Rebirth’ crew is keeping everything tightly under wraps. If any random people manage to slip in, it would create absolute chaos.”

Emily, who idolized Carolyn and followed her every move, instantly recognized the striking figure before her as Chloe.

Chloe was still the talk of the town online; whispers of her potential as an actress floated through social media, yet she seemed completely indifferent to such attention.

As Emily took in Chloe’s presence, she found herself captivated, unable to look away. That face—so exquisitely delicate yet undeniably captivating—was nothing short of breathtaking. It felt like an utter waste that someone with such beauty wasn’t gracing the silver screen.

In that moment, Carolyn appeared almost mundane by comparison, lacking the same striking allure.

Adopting the role of a concerned sister, Carolyn retrieved her phone from her pocket. “I’ll reach out to the director and have security grant you access. Unfortunately, I need to dash back for my makeup session, so I can’t linger for a chat.”

She turned toward the guards, her voice deliberately loud. “This is my sister. Ensure she receives the best treatment.”

With that, Carolyn lifted her chin defiantly and strode away, Emily trailing closely behind, her posture exuding a sense of pride.

As they moved, Emily couldn’t resist glancing back at Chloe. She longed to say hello, to express her admiration for Chloe’s exquisite Four Seasons collection, which remained beyond her financial reach. Just a single photograph with Chloe would make her day complete.

“Carolyn, is that truly your sister? Do you think I could—”

“Someone wants to visit me on set. Tell security to make them wait. Even if you let them in later, stall them. And don’t offer them any seats—make them stand. I want her to experience the sting of rejection,” Carolyn said, her tone dropping to a conspiratorial whisper as she recorded a voice message.

Emily froze in her tracks, bewildered. Hadn’t Carolyn just acted all warm and sisterly? What was happening? This felt cruel—truly cruel.

Chloe remained silent throughout, merely observing Carolyn’s little performance with a sense of discomfort. The whole charade felt awkward to witness.

Robert, standing nearby, tilted his head in confusion as he watched Carolyn walk away. “What’s she so proud of, anyway?” he muttered under his breath.

Chloe turned her attention back to the guards still obstructing their path. With a calm demeanor, she simply provided them with Oralia’s name.
