He Cheated I Rose Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 A Public Ultimatum

Finished

“Okay. I understand.” Chloe’s voice was quiet, her expression almost eerily calm–as if the massive wave of public backlash crashing around her had nothing to do with her at all.

Once the online conversation started, it only gained momentum. There was no sign of it slowing down.

Media crews had already set up camp outside the Lewis Group and Myers Group headquarters, hoping to catch someone–anyone–willing to talk.

Chloe stayed silent, and the internet kept hurling insults. Some tabloids started live–streaming outside both buildings, trying to get footage of Chloc showing up.

With her positions in both companies, it wasn’t like she could just disappear and avoid showing her face.

If she didn’t appear, it would only feed the narrative that she was coasting on connections, taking what didn’t belong to her.

The Lewis family falling into her hands–well, she was a Lewis by blood, so however that happened was one thing. But billions in Myers family assets ending up under her name and control? That didn’t sit right with people.

Who was Robert’s father? Chloe needed to come out and say something.

If the rumors were true, then this was all on her. She had no right to hold onto Myers Group’s assets.

Come to think of it, all that positive buzz online before was probably orchestrated by Chloe behind the scenes. A pretty face made things easier–who knew how many shady deals she’d pulled off when no one was looking.

“Chloe, the backlash is still spreading. The whole internet’s watching this now. A huge chunk of people are just going along with the narrative–they’re all blaming you, demanding you prove Robert is Arthur’s child.”

Zachary placed a folder in front of Chloe. Inside was data on how the situation had evolved and the ripple

effects.

The damage was real–even the LOVE collection launch was taking hits. Fans who’d supported the brand were now criticizing Chloe, saying someone like her shouldn’t be the designer behind LOVE. They wanted Cosmos Group to reconsider; LOVE shouldn’t be dragged down because of one person.

Boycott Chloe.

Blacklist Chloe everywhere.

Messages like that kept piling up.

“Chloe, we need to respond head–on. Over at Myers Group, the major shareholders and regional directors have all shown up. They’re pushing Arthur for solutions. They want him to formally sue you to recover the shares and assets you hold.”

“Those people… since when does Charles‘ word mean nothing?” Oralia stamped her foot, frustrated.

“What’s Arthur’s position on this?”

A voice cut through the room. Everyone turned.

Melinda sat on the sofa, arms crossed. Her expression was unreadable, but calm.

Right–what was Arthur doing about this? Oralia looked at Zachary, waiting.

“At first, Arthur wanted to hold a press conference. He was going to publicly state that Robert is his child But the Myers Group shareholders shut that down.” Zachary shrugged helplessly. “And then Jennifer made a statement–as Arthur’s wife. She said Myers family assets should go to the rightful heir.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me. That’s next–level manipulation.” Melinda dropped her cool facade, hands on her hips. “That woman’s not just a snake–she’s a full–on manipulator. The kind who plays innocent while stabbing you in the back.”
