He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 332

**TITLE: A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 332: An Unexpected Ally**

Three years had slipped by since that fateful day, each one laden with unspoken words and unresolved feelings.

Cosmos Group’s influence stretched far and wide, a colossal entity with numerous consortiums thriving under its vast umbrella. Its remarkable accomplishments had catapulted the group to the zenith of the global business landscape.

Landon, though merely the head of a regional branch in Capaville, exuded an air of importance that was hard to ignore. One could only speculate about the gravitas of the Group’s Chief Agent.

And that distinguished Chief Agent was none other than Lawrence.

Lawrence was not just a figurehead; he was the embodiment of power within the organization, executing the commands of Eric, the billionaire visionary who founded it all. Yet, three years ago, Lawrence had declared his retirement, announcing his intention to step away from the relentless grind of management to savor a quieter life. So, what could his sudden appearance here possibly mean?

As the atmosphere thickened with a palpable tension, Landon guided Lawrence to the negotiation table, his movements smooth and deliberate.

Lawrence’s sharp gaze landed on Arthur, who remained seated, a silent observer amidst the unfolding drama. A flicker of disdain crossed Lawrence’s features, his eyes darkening momentarily as he assessed Arthur’s presence with thinly veiled contempt.

Landon, ever the polished diplomat, acted as though Arthur were nothing more than an insignificant shadow. He retrieved an empty chair and placed it beside Arthur with a casual nonchalance, as if to emphasize the latter’s inconsequence.

With a practiced ease, Lawrence leaned on his cane and positioned himself directly across from Chloe. He offered no further acknowledgment to Arthur, dismissing him as if he were merely background noise in a symphony of more important matters.

Once settled, Lawrence turned his attention to Chloe. “Ms. Lewis, I must extend my sincerest apologies. I had the corporate seal of our group specially dispatched from our global headquarters. Unfortunately, the flight encountered several delays—I nearly missed this meeting entirely. I genuinely regret any inconvenience caused.”

Chloe met his gaze with a soft smile, a flicker of warmth in her eyes. “It’s quite all right. In fact, the timing seems rather fortuitous, wouldn’t you agree?”

Lawrence’s laughter erupted, genuine and hearty. “Perfect indeed, perfect!” he chuckled, the sound echoing through the room like a refreshing breeze.

The atmosphere was thick with confusion. What was unfolding before them? What had they overlooked?

Lawrence’s mere presence was a shockwave, but the familiarity in his tone as he addressed Chloe raised countless questions. Had they shared a history?

Since when had Chloe cultivated connections so deep within the upper echelons of Cosmos Group? This was not just any senior executive; Lawrence was a titan, second only to Eric himself. The implications were staggering.

Could it be that Lawrence had come here to…?

No, that seemed implausible. The idea that a regional branch of Cosmos Group would even entertain the thought of investing in Lewis Group felt absurd. Yet here was Lawrence, personally attending the negotiations—an almost comical twist in the narrative.
