He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 74

Finished

Jenarth stared at Robert, flustered and desperate to turn to Jennifer for help. But with his back turned to her, he couldn’t see the help he needed. When his gaze met Robert’s, a sudden, unexplainable fear washed

over him.

His mind went completely blank.

“The doctor gave me medicine earlier! That’s why I’m not having a reaction now!” Jenarth blurted out, scrambling for an explanation.

Robert glanced toward the medical staff still standing nearby. “Well, look–all the doctors are right here listening. If you’re going to make excuses, at least make them believable. Don’t just say the first thing that pops into your head!

“You know what they say–you can tell the adult by the child. You’re five and a half now, not a baby. And this behavior? It’s pretty pathetic.”

This only made Jenarth panic more. He wanted to run to Jennifer and bury himself in her arms, but his feet seemed stuck to the floor. He stumbled awkwardly and fell hard.

And with that fall, the crushed egg bits he’d been hiding in his clothes scattered across the floor.

“Whoa! Everyone see that? The egg was on him the whole time!” Robert exclaimed, sounding like he’d just uncovered buried treasure. “Drew, do you still want to claim the kitchen staff took your leftover egg?”

Drew, who’d just been singled out, stood frozen in confusion.

He genuinely had no idea what was happening!

The pieces of the puzzle clicked into place for everyone watching. They saw Jenarth scramble up from the floor, acting far too flustered for an innocent child. As the cooked egg bits lay scattered around him, he desperately tried to gather them, but his frantic movements only made the mess worse.

“How could this happen?” some parents muttered, their faces hardening with embarrassed realization.

“Jenarth, did you hide the egg I didn’t finish?” Drew pointed a chubby finger and shouted with childish bluntness, “You ate the egg yourself and tried to frame Robert, didn’t you?”

It was a simple question, delivered in a child’s innocent tone, but it struck with the force of undeniable

truth.

“No! That’s not true!” Jenarth shook his head, his voice trembling. But caught red–handed, panic had taken over, clouding his thoughts.

All he wanted was his mother. He just wanted to escape this nightmare.

“Mommy!” Jenarth burst into loud, panicked sobs.

“Cut the act,” Robert snapped, his voice sharp and commanding.

The crying stopped instantly. Jenarth stared at Robert in shocked silence, only soft sniffles escaping.

Chapter 74 Exposed

“When you decided to frame me, did you ever stop to think about what would happen when you got caught?” Robert took a step closer, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Jenarth’s eyes were red and putly. He stared blankly at Robert, lips pressed tightly together, completely lost

for words.

Just moments ago, he had been the perfect, pitiful victim. Now, he stood exposed, utterly defeated.

“I warned you from the beginning–don’t mess with me. You can’t handle the consequences.” Robert raised an eyebrow, his gaze intense. “You tried to set me up; you wanted me expelled. But look at you now. Your little plan blew up in your face!”

Jenarth could only stare, completely cowed by Robert’s confidence, too terrified to speak.

The truth was now clear to everyone. Jenarth had accused Robert of putting cooked egg bits in his water. The security footage had shown something, the other children had witnessed a confrontation–but Robert’s bold demonstration had rendered all of it meaningless.

So what about the footage? So what about the witnesses?

Robert had just proven he never put egg bits in any water to harm Jenarth. The allergic reaction had been caused by the egg bits Jenarth himself was carrying.

A child this young had orchestrated all this?

He’d secretly eaten the egg and then tried to pin the blame on someone else?

The parents realized with dawning horror that they had been manipulated by a child, used as unwitting pawns in his scheme. The entire performance had been staged.

It was unbelievable!
