He Cheated I Rose Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 567

Chapter 567 Trapped on the Island

Finisher

The ocean stretched endlessly, and their resources for searching were limited. Yet, a mutilated body had been found with unsettling case–it was all staged by the other side.

Their message was clear–if you’re looking for Chloe, don’t bother.

Landon couldn’t make sense of it. He couldn’t tell whether the person behind this was a man or a woman, or what their real intentions toward Chloe were.

If it was someone Chloe herself feared–a hidden powerhouse, maybe a senior figure–and this whole Jennifer situation had been a test for Eugene, then now that the test was over, shouldn’t they finally meet face–to–face?

If not… if the other person had feelings for Chloe, then Eugene’s very existence became a threat. It was hard to imagine just how rough the road ahead would be for him.

Comparing the two possibilities, Landon really hoped it was the former.

But whichever it was, the case was considered closed. Jennifer’s file had been marked as resolved. So what kind of person were they dealing with? Friend or foe, shouldn’t they show themselves now?

Yet at the moment, they had nothing–no solid intel, not a single lead. It was as if Chloe had vanished off the face of the earth.

Just who was on the other side?

Thinking about the days to come, Landon knew things were about to get complicated.

With no trails to follow, running around the globe like this would wear anyone down.

On the island, Chloe woke early and walked habitually toward the floor–to–ceiling window, expecting to see the pair of birds nesting in the tree outside, tending to their eggs.

But this time, there was nothing beyond the glass–only the open view of the distant sea.

The birds were gone. The once–cozy couple, their eggs, their nest, even the whole tree- everything had disappeared.

This was exactly the kind of thing Vincent would do.

He was a madman. If he wasn’t doing something unhinged, he wouldn’t be himself.

“Better view now, don’t you think?” Vincent asked, watching her calm expression as he deliberately brought up the missing tree. “That trunk was blocking the sightlines. With it gone, you can take in the scenery much better–see all the way to the horizon.”

Chloe didn’t answer. She just looked up at him, her gaze lingering as if trying to etch this moment into memory, to remember him intensely because of it.

“Vincent, our bet is over. You lost. And now you want me to wander around like some trapped spirit, limited by you, just eating and sleeping on repeat? Do I look like I enjoy being kept as a pet?” Chloe’s voice was low and strained.

“Clo–Clo, how can you say that? This is your home. I’d never restrict your freedom.” Vincent moved closer and let out a soft laugh. “Remember, this is your space. You can move around as you please, even give orders to Silverash’s crew–just like old times. When I’m not here, your word goes.”

Chloe stared at him, her eyes growing darker.
