He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 363

**Chapter 363: The Stage Is Set**

The atmosphere in the opulent ballroom was electric, charged with an undercurrent of anticipation and tension. Jennifer stood amidst the swirling crowd, her thoughts sharp and cutting. **Who is she compared to me?** The thought echoed in her mind, laced with a chilling sense of superiority. To her, Charles was merely an old man, a relic of a time that was swiftly fading. She dismissed the notion that any of Madilyn’s outside children could ever reclaim their rightful place. **Arthur was destined to remain the CEO of Myers Group, and I will ensure that everyone recognizes me as the future lady of the house.** The conviction in her heart was unwavering.

As the evening progressed, a restless energy began to build, palpable in the air. The mood had been set, and now it was time to elevate it further.

“Mr. Lewis,” Jennifer called out, her voice lilting and sweet, cutting through the murmurs of the crowd like a knife. “Weren’t you going to make a special announcement? You’ve got us all wondering. The suspense is absolutely killing everyone!” Her words, laced with feigned innocence, successfully redirected the crowd’s attention back to Scott.

She was right, of course.

Even before the gala had officially commenced, whispers had circulated that Scott was poised to unveil significant news.

Chloe being the Lewis heiress was old hat. The fact that she was being formally appointed as Vice President, shedding her “acting” title, had been widely anticipated.

But what was this other revelation that everyone was so eager to hear?

The prevailing theory among the guests was that Scott intended to pass the reins of the Lewis Group to Chloe. Given her recent string of remarkable successes, it was a logical step. It made sense to everyone in the room, and yet, Chloe’s conspicuous absence cast a shadow of confusion over the proceedings.

The shareholders of the Lewis Group held their tongues, but representatives from other influential families began to voice their growing impatience.

“Mr. Lewis, this is supposed to be a celebration,” one business leader interjected, his tone sharp and pointed. “But how can we celebrate when the guest of honor is nowhere to be found? Many of us came here hoping to meet the legendary Chloe Lewis—the business prodigy! Now it seems we’ll be leaving disappointed.”

“Clearly, she’s not coming,” another voice chimed in, the dissatisfaction palpable.
