He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 376

**TITLE: A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 376: The Papers Are Signed**

The words that echoed in the room had never been meant solely for her. They were a facade, a mask hiding deeper truths.

“Liars!” Monique exclaimed, her voice laced with bitterness as a self-deprecating laugh escaped her lips, echoing her disbelief.

“Mr. Lewis, the divorce agreement is ready,” the lawyer announced, his tone professional yet devoid of warmth. He had meticulously drafted the documents, and now he approached Scott, extending the crisp papers with a sense of finality.

Finished.

Scott’s gaze skimmed over the pages, his heart racing as he absorbed the gravity of what lay before him. Without a moment’s hesitation, he seized the pen from the lawyer’s hand and inscribed his name with a steady hand. The weight of the moment pressed heavily upon him, but he refused to falter. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the agreement down toward Monique, who lay sprawled on the floor, a picture of despair.

“Sign it. From this moment on, you mean nothing to me. Go be with whoever you want,” he declared, turning his back on her, his fury barely contained beneath a veneer of indifference. He had exhausted every word, every ounce of emotion in front of the gathered guests. The dignity of Lewis Group had already suffered enough humiliation. Monique had orchestrated this downfall herself.

As the finality of his cold dismissal sank in, Monique stared blankly, a moment of disbelief coursing through her before she scrambled to gather the scattered pages. Her eyes widened in horror as she read the terms laid out before her.

When her gaze landed on the clause stating she would “leave the marriage with nothing,” a surge of rage twisted her features. “Scott, how dare you do this to me?” she spat, her voice a low growl as she glared up at him. “You’re throwing me out with nothing? After all these years together? Is this how you repay my loyalty? What do you think I am?”

Scott remained unmoved, refusing to even spare her a glance. Instead, he shifted his focus to the hotel manager standing nearby, his expression unwavering. “Monique damaged the display screen. Charge her for the full replacement cost. Settle it directly with her.”

“Understood, Mr. Lewis,” the manager replied, nodding obediently, casting Monique a look that was anything but sympathetic. The screen was a custom, imported piece, exorbitantly priced. While it would have been awkward to demand compensation from the event’s host, Scott’s explicit instruction cleared the path for the hotel to pursue the matter. Charging her the full amount was only just.

Witnessing Scott’s decisive actions unfold, Monique felt the last remnants of her dignity slip away. Her composure shattered, she erupted into a tirade of curses. “Scott, you heartless bastard! All these years of marriage—was I not good enough for you? I sacrificed everything for this family! Did you ever once consider my feelings?”

“Scott, Carolyn is your daughter! Even if you don’t care about me, what about her? She’s your child too!”

“Scott, if you hadn’t been so cold and distant, would I have turned to someone else? What happened with Ernesto was a mistake, but you drove me to it! You pushed me away!”
