He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 290

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

**Chapter 290: The Press Conference**

Madilyn’s gaze was fixed on her phone, her frustration simmering just below the surface, an unyielding tide of emotions threatening to overflow. This was not merely a betrayal; it was a reckless gamble that Jennifer had taken, and Madilyn was determined that there would be consequences for such carelessness.

Finished.

A gnawing anxiety twisted in her stomach as she considered the far-reaching implications for the company they had all worked so hard to build. The mere thought of stock prices plummeting sent icy tendrils of fear coursing through her veins. If that nightmare were to come true, the financial fallout would be nothing short of catastrophic. With urgency coursing through her, she quickly dialed Donald, desperate to gauge the precarious state of affairs.

“What did you just say?” Her heart plummeted as disbelief washed over her. “Arthur is holding a press conference about the rumors?”

Staring blankly at her phone, she felt panic surge through her.

Arthur was about to step into the lion’s den? What on earth was he thinking?

Public sentiment was a volatile beast right now. One misstep, one careless comment, could ignite a firestorm that would consume them all. Chloe had chosen to remain silent, clearly wary that revealing her past marriage to Arthur would only complicate matters further.

If Arthur let something slip, something that should remain hidden, it would unleash chaos like they had never seen.

Madilyn’s heart raced at the thought of impending disaster. She had to act quickly. Forgetting everything else, she bolted toward the elevator, her mind racing with the potential consequences. As the doors slid shut, she attempted to reach out to Jennifer once more, but her calls were met with silence. Frustration bubbled over, and she opened WhatsApp, recording a voice message, her tone sharp and urgent.

“Consider this your warning. Arthur’s about to hold a press conference. I doubt he’ll defend you. You need to stop him—now.”

Setting her phone down, she watched the elevator descend at an agonizingly slow pace. Damn it! Could this contraption move any slower?

In the main conference room of Cosmos Group, the atmosphere was electric, charged with creativity and tension. Chloe’s latest designs illuminated the large screen, each piece radiating elegance and innovation. Landon found himself utterly captivated, unable to tear his gaze away.

“This collection is absolutely stunning. If I were a woman, I’d be clamoring to wear these pieces,” he remarked, his voice brimming with genuine admiration.

Chloe chuckled lightly, a glimmer of mischief dancing in her eyes. “Well, I wouldn’t mind if you modeled them for us. When they’re ready, you could be the first to try them on.”

A slight flush crept across Landon’s cheeks, and he scratched his cheek, feeling a bit self-conscious. “Just a hypothetical, of course. If I had a girlfriend, I’d buy the entire collection—enough for every day of the year. She’d look incredible in them.”

As he spoke, his gaze drifted toward Eugene, who sat nearby, exuding an air of calm and composure.
