He Cheated I Rose Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 578

Chapter 578 Eric’s Debut

Finished

Melinda had managed to hold herself together until now, but the lack of any update about Chloe finally broke her composure. She fought back the tears–more than once, they threatened to spill over. If Blaine hadn’t kept gently reminding her to stay composed and mindful of her presence, she would have broken down right then and there.

Oralia wasn’t faring much better. She prided herself on being a professional actress, skilled at controlling her expressions under pressure, but keeping her emotions in check at a moment like this was proving incredibly difficult.

Dabbing discreetly at the corner of her eye, Oralia murmured, “I wish Chloe could be here today to say goodbye to Charles. She was always closest to him. It would mean so much if she could be here to see him off properly.”

Melinda only gave a quiet nod, afraid that if she tried to speak, the dam would break and the tears would start flowing for good.

If only Chloe were here… things would feel a little more complete.

The service had drawn many of the city’s prominent figures. Elders from several of the major families had come to pay their respects–Charles had lived a remarkable life, and his passing was truly felt as a loss in the business community.

Arthur stood near the viewing room, acknowledging each guest who came to offer condolences.

Some attendees couldn’t help but notice the high–level officials present, quietly impressed by the Myers family’s reach. Charles had kept a low profile in his later years, rarely appearing at public events, yet his connections clearly ran deep.

“Lawrence, here on behalf of Cosmos Group, to pay respects.”

When the attendant announced Cosmos Group, a ripple of surprise spread through the room.

Cosmos Group and the Myers family had no known business ties–why would they send a representative to the service?

But then, people began to recall that from the moment they arrived, Landon–the head of Cosmos Group’s regional branch–had been standing near Arthur, exchanging occasional words with him. They seemed to be on familiar terms.

Since when were Cosmos Group and Myers Group so close? Weren’t they competitors?

Back when both were vying for the partnership with Lewis Group, rumors had flown about fierce rivalry between them. Those who remembered the whispers exchanged looks of quiet astonishment.

The appearance of Lawrence from Cosmos Group left many in the room speechless. This was Lawrence- acting representative of Cosmos Group, a respected veteran in top–tier business circles.

His presence alone signaled the significance of an event; it was rare for local gatherings to draw someone of his stature. What did it say about this service that he would come in person?

Chapter 578 Eric’s Debut

Finished

Lawrence approached Arthur, offered a few restrained words of sympathy, then stepped forward to lay flowers in tribute before quietly taking a place to the side.

Just as the room was still processing Lawrence’s presence, the attendant’s voice cut through once more, announcing something even more unexpected.

“Mr. Meader of Cosmos Group, here to pay respects.”

The room seemed to still. If Lawrence’s attendance was surprising, Eric’s was staggering.

Some names carry weight everywhere–and in business circles, Eric’s was legendary. The wealthiest individual in the world, the true force behind Cosmos Group.

If people thought Lawrence was powerful, it was only because he stood for Cosmos Group behind him. With branch offices scattered all across the globe, its asset value had long secured Cosmos Group’s status as an unrivaled hegemon in the industry.

And the man who owned this massive business empire was Eric–the man who had topped global wealth rankings for years, yet whose identity remained largely shielded from public view.

All eyes turned toward the entrance. Even Arthur straightened, his gaze fixed on the doorway.

It was Eugene who stepped in, dressed in a somber black suit, a single white flower pinned to his lapel. For a moment, confusion flickered across the faces in the room.

Wasn’t that Eugene?

Didn’t they just announce Eric from Cosmos Group?
