He Cheated I Rose Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 179

**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**

**Chapter 179: The Rescue and the Chase**

Before Arthur could utter a single word, Chloe had already flung open the car door.

“Finished,” she declared, her tone sharp as a knife. “Arthur, we’re done. Spare us both the hassle and keep your pride intact. If you ever pull something like this again, I won’t hold back.” Her voice was icy and resolute, echoing in the stillness of the moment.

With a forceful slam, she shut the door behind her, the sound reverberating like a thunderclap.

Arthur flinched, the sudden noise jolting him from his thoughts. The entire car seemed to tremble as if it too felt the weight of her anger.

For a fleeting moment, he feared that door would never swing open again, sealing off any chance of reconciliation.

When had Chloe become so fierce, so unyielding?

“Chloe!” he shouted, desperation creeping into his voice, but she didn’t even glance back. She was already striding away, her back turned to him as if he were nothing more than a distant memory.

She had leaped out of the car on the overpass, and now she was ready to jump into the unknown!

What was wrong with her? Had she completely lost her mind?

Damn it!

Frustration surged through him as he tore off his seatbelt, flinging the door open. He was just about to chase after her when the roar of an engine cut through his thoughts like a knife.

A car was barreling toward them at breakneck speed. Who on earth was behind the wheel?

Arthur’s heart raced as he glanced over his shoulder. A sleek black sedan zipped past, too fast for him to catch a glimpse of the driver.

In an instant, the car executed a sharp, controlled drift, coming to a halt beside Chloe.

She caught sight of the driver, pausing for just a heartbeat.

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, she opened the passenger door and slid inside.

In that split second, Arthur’s heart sank.

It was Eugene.

Their eyes locked in the rearview mirror, and Arthur could see the faint, mocking smile that danced on Eugene’s lips, as if he relished this moment.

The engine growled once more, and the car surged forward, leaving Arthur standing there, paralyzed.

“Chloe! Wait!” he yelled, his voice tinged with panic, but it was too late. She was gone, swallowed by the distance.

He remained frozen in place, watching the taillights of the car fade into the horizon. A voice inside him screamed in agony—he had lost her, possibly for good.

Arthur’s gaze lingered on the empty road where Chloe had just been. How could she have jumped into Eugene’s car so quickly, so willingly?

**4 PM**

**In the Other Car…**

Chloe stole a glance at the man behind the wheel. Eugene remained silent, his focus unwavering on the road as they sped through the streets.

The last time they had crossed paths, it had been nothing more than a fleeting glance. Yet here he was, appearing beside her in her moment of need. She didn’t bother to ask why he had come; instead, she coolly remarked, “The Four Seasons collection is being torn apart online. I’ve been roasted by a horde of netizens. If this goes south, your investment is toast. Are you having second thoughts?”

Eugene kept his eyes fixed ahead, a small, confident smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Was he actually smiling?

Chloe raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “You seem rather pleased with yourself.”

“As a professional investor, my instincts for picking winners are always spot on,” Eugene replied, maintaining his calm demeanor.

Chloe paused, a soft laugh escaping her lips.

**9:45 PM**

“Good. That’s enough,” she said, checking her watch. “We have ten minutes until the press conference starts.”

“We’ll be there,” Eugene assured her, smoothly pressing down on the gas pedal, the car surging forward with renewed energy.
