**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 368: The Question About the Coat**

The stage was set with meticulous care by Scott, who had orchestrated this event with a singular vision in mind. He intended to showcase the resurgence of the Lewis Group, a company that had faced its share of trials, to the esteemed guests gathered in the room. This was not just a presentation; it was a statement. Today marked the dawn of a new chapter for the Lewis Group, one that would wipe away the shadows of its past instability and illuminate its renewed potential.

The promotional video, designed to be the centerpiece of this gathering, was a testament to the company’s journey. It was an impressive piece, crafted with the kind of professionalism that rarely graced corporate narratives. As the video played, the audience was meant to witness the transformation of the Lewis Group firsthand, to feel the weight of its comeback story.

Carolyn’s gaze was fixed intently on the men’s coat that Chloe had draped over her shoulders. A sudden realization seemed to spark within her.

Catching Monique’s eye, Carolyn ensured her mother understood the unspoken tension in the air. Then, without warning, she stepped forward, her demeanor shifting. “Chloe, where did you get that coat?” she inquired, her voice laced with a feigned innocence that was anything but genuine. “It looks like a man’s!”

Her abrupt question redirected the attention of everyone in the room to Chloe, the atmosphere thickening with intrigue.

The coat, hung casually over Chloe’s dress, was undeniably striking. The cut was tailored, the fabric exuded luxury, and it was clear that it was not an ordinary piece of clothing. Yet, Chloe had been wearing it since her arrival, seemingly unfazed by its presence.

“This coat…” Chloe murmured, glancing down at it as if it were a forgotten trinket. Memories flooded her mind—the chilling aftermath of the accident, the way Eugene had silently draped his coat around her shoulders, offering warmth and solace in that moment of chaos. It had been a gesture of kindness, a small comfort that steadied her racing heart.

Carolyn observed Chloe’s reaction, interpreting her momentary pause as either forgetfulness or guilt. “Where exactly were you, Chloe? How did you end up wearing a man’s coat?” Her gaze flickered to Eugene, who stood nearby in just his shirt, his own coat conspicuously absent. It was obvious to Carolyn that this coat belonged to him.

How cozy, indeed. Perhaps they had been too preoccupied in the car to notice this glaring detail.

Lawrence had arrived with them, and it was apparent that Eugene moved within influential circles. Chloe must have leveraged her connection to him to gain access to the upper echelons of the Cosmos Group. Everyone had seen them together, and while Eugene had been a presence for some time, his background was shrouded in mystery. If Lawrence was familiar with him, then Eugene was undoubtedly a man of significant power.

Hmph, Chloe. Do you truly believe no one is aware of your little secrets? Just wait until the photographs surface. Let’s see how you’ll spin this tale.
