He Cheated I Rose Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 654

Upon hearing Carolyn's words, Oralia was the first to lose her temper.

"Carolyn, this mess is entirely your own doing, and you have the nerve to point fingers at Chloe? You had everything going for you, but the choices you made were downright shameful. Do you feel no remorse at all?" Oralia shot back, hands firmly planted on her hips. "As someone in the same industry, I've lost all respect for you."

A flicker of killing intent passed through Carolyn's eyes as Oralia spoke. Back in the day, Carolyn had tried everything to get into Oralia's good graces, only to be brushed off without a second glance. Meanwhile, Chloe just had to sit there, and people naturally flocked to her.

Everything seemed to fall into Chloe's lap effortlessly, while Carolyn had clawed her way up, only to watch it all crumble in an instant.

Whether it was her acting career or her standing within the Lewis family, the life she once cherished had disintegrated right before her eyes—and in her mind, it all traced back to Chloe's interference.

The way things were now? All Chloe's fault.

Why did that bitch get to live so comfortably while she was treated like dirt on the street?

Well, she wasn't about to let them have it their way.

"Hmph, one, two, three..." Carolyn counted the people present, a dissatisfied gleam in her eyes. "Not enough. Still not enough!"

"Carolyn, where is Robert?" Chloe demanded, her voice sharp.

Standing perched above them, Carolyn looked down at Chloe, savoring the feeling of having the upper hand—as though she finally had Chloe under her heel.

"Is that how you ask for a favor, Chloe?" Carolyn let out a low, smug laugh. "You know the kid's in my hands, which means I call the shots here. If you want something from me, you'd better act like it. Otherwise, why would I ever let him go?"

"Where is Robert?" Ignoring Carolyn's taunts, Chloe took a step forward and raised her voice. "This is between you and me. Let him go."

"Why the hurry? The fun's just getting started," Carolyn replied, giving a slight wave of her hand.

The rattling sound of chains followed immediately.

Chloe's head snapped upward at the noise. There was Robert, bound with thick ropes, his small body wrapped in heavy chains.

"Carolyn, you—"

Chloe's anger surged. Robert was not only tied up—he was chained and suspended from a frightening height.
