He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 249

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

**Chapter 249: From Fan to Foe**

Emily approached the vanity with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. As her fingers brushed against the dusty surface, they encountered something unexpected—a small green snake nestled behind the mirror. Her heart raced for a moment, but then she realized it was merely a plastic toy, a cruel prank left behind.

Meanwhile, Carolyn’s gaze was fixated on the mark that marred her skin. A tiny spot of blood glistened on her finger, but upon closer inspection, it was nothing more than a superficial scratch—definitely not a snakebite, as she had initially feared.

The realization hit her like a tidal wave: they had deceived her. All of them.

They had orchestrated this elaborate ruse, making her believe a snake had sunk its fangs into her flesh. They had toyed with her mind, leading her to panic and ultimately confess in front of everyone. Even that earlier scene, where Emily had been whisked away—it had all been a meticulously planned act.

Now, she found herself ensnared, with no escape in sight.

“Chloe, you orchestrated this, didn’t you?” Carolyn’s voice trembled, a mixture of anger and betrayal lacing her words. “You knew it was me from the very beginning. You wanted to humiliate me.”

Chloe met her gaze with an unwavering calmness. “You did this to yourself, Carolyn. You chose the wrong enemy.” Without a hint of remorse, she gestured toward the officers. “She’s all yours now.”

“Take her away,” she commanded, her voice devoid of compassion.

The police wasted no time. They surged forward, seizing Carolyn and dragging her from the room against her will.

“Chloe, if you go through with this… Mom and Dad will make you pay! Just wait—I won’t let this slide!” Carolyn screamed, her desperation evident as she struggled against their grip, lunging toward Chloe. But the officers held her firmly, their grip unyielding as they pulled her into the hallway.

As they emerged, the entire crew stood waiting, their expressions a mixture of disdain and disbelief.

Carolyn’s heart sank further as she recognized familiar faces in the crowd—not just Brian, but even Edwin from Kellian Media.

In that moment, clarity struck her like a lightning bolt—her career was in ruins.

She hadn’t just harmed Chloe; she had obliterated her own future.

How had it spiraled to this point?

Emily watched the scene unfold, her heart heavy with sorrow. She fished her phone from her pocket, navigating to the large fan group chat, her fingers trembling as she composed a voice message.

“I’m truly sorry, everyone. I misjudged Carolyn. I led you all to support someone who didn’t deserve it. That’s on me. I’m disbanding this group. From now on, my allegiance lies with Oralia.”

The response was immediate; the group chat erupted with messages. Whispers of Carolyn’s actions had already spread like wildfire, and now the fans were filled with disgust. They had once cheered for her, promoting the film *Rebirth* far and wide, only to realize they had backed someone utterly unworthy.

One member suggested keeping the group alive but shifting its focus. Emily was now a devoted Oralia fan, and many shared her sentiments. Why not rally behind Oralia together?

Tears brimmed in Emily’s eyes as she quickly typed that the group would henceforth be known as “Oralia’s Support Club.” From that moment on, they would stand united in their support for Oralia alone.
