He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 244

**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 244: Carolyn’s Scheme Unravels**

Landon stood there, absorbing the whirlwind of events, his head shaking in disbelief. It was clear to him now—his boss was hopelessly entangled in the web of love, and it was only a matter of time before it all came crashing down.

After leaving the grandeur of Villa No.1, Chloe made her way home. The distance was short, just a brief stroll through the familiar streets of her neighborhood, yet each step felt heavier with the weight of her thoughts.

As she finally pushed open her front door, she was greeted by Robert, who was practically buzzing with excitement. “Everything’s clear now. It was that two-faced Carolyn,” he declared, his voice brimming with a mix of triumph and indignation.

Robert laid out the details of his findings with a fervor that was hard to ignore. “You won’t believe this—I’ve uncovered how Carolyn tried to shift the blame onto Emily. If things escalated, Emily would take the fall, and Carolyn, who was also injured during the chaos, would be the last person anyone suspected.” His eyes sparkled with a mix of anger and determination. “And the first to face the consequences? The mastermind herself. It’s a twisted scheme, to say the least.”

“Mommy, Carolyn was just asking for trouble,” Robert continued, his voice rising with each word. “She even targeted you! And to think she nearly got Oralia hurt in the process. If she had just played the part of the perfect daughter for the Lewis family, we might have let her slide. But no, she had to push her luck. Fine, we’ll teach her a lesson—show her what happens when you mess with the wrong person.” He rubbed his nose, a cocky smirk curling at the corners of his lips. “I don’t tolerate defiance. Not from anyone.”

Chloe listened intently as Robert unraveled Carolyn’s schemes, her expression remaining cool and composed. Deep down, she had sensed that Carolyn would eventually stir up trouble, but she hadn’t anticipated the depths of cruelty Carolyn was willing to sink to, especially when it came to Oralia. This was entirely Carolyn’s doing, and now there was no reason to hold back.

When it came to causing harm, there were only two options: either you did it zero times or you did it countless times. Carolyn had already crossed that line once; there was no way she would be granted a second chance to pull off such a despicable act again. Whatever consequences awaited her, they were self-inflicted.

On set, the atmosphere buzzed with energy, everything running like a well-oiled machine. Carolyn had just finished filming a scene with the male lead, and they were now on a brief break, grabbing water before her next scene, which was set to be opposite Oralia.

In the rest area, Emily rushed over, a cup of freshly brewed lemon tea in her hands. She had prepared it herself, pouring her heart into the recipe Carolyn had requested. Without the proper tools, she had even borrowed some from the crew, determined to impress.

“Carolyn, you have to try this! I only added three-quarters of the sugar,” Emily said, extending the cup towards her with a hopeful smile.

“What took you so long? I’ve been waiting forever!” Carolyn snapped, snatching the drink from Emily’s hands, irritation etched across her face.

Emily blinked, glancing at the clock. It had only been three minutes since Carolyn had wrapped up her scene—how was that considered slow?

“I made extra! I’ll share it with the crew,” Emily said, turning to leave, eager to do what she usually did.
