He Cheated. I Rose.
She wasn't just some country girl from a fishing village? Since when did she have this kind of power? This had to be a joke! It couldn't be real! "LOVELESS just updated their official website. The founder really is Chloe." A gasp went through the crowd, and the shock in the room became palpable. Arthur pulled out his phone, refusing to believe it. He opened the LOVELESS official site. The moment it loaded, a splash announcement filled the screen—the brand was formally revealing its founder. Mirabelle—Chloe Lewis. Seven years ago, she had created LOVELESS. Its hottest collection was her design. Later, for personal reasons, she had chosen to remain behind the scenes, handing over daily operations to Leo as the acting CEO.In those seven years, LOVELESS had grown into a global luxury giant, loved by customers everywhere and firmly established at the top of the fashion world. No one could have guessed the person behind it all was Chloe. "LOVELESS is valued in the tens of billions. Does that mean Ms. Lewis has had that kind of fortune all along?" a reporter exclaimed loudly. Madilyn heard every word. Her eyes went wide, her face a mask of disbelief. Even with the official announcement, she refused to accept that Chloe could be the founder of a top-tier luxury brand. Founder. Net worth in the billions. How... how could any of this be connected to Chloe? If this was true, then Chloe's personal wealth—forget the company's value—had already far surpassed that of the entire Myers Group. So when she divorced Arthur, she truly hadn't wanted their money. She looked down on the Myers family?How was that even possible! "Chloe, you... you really..." Madilyn tried to speak, but her tongue felt tied. No words would come out. The media surged forward, desperate to get the first interview with LOVELESS's founder. Chloe merely offered a faint smile and declined them all. She glanced at Leo, uttered a simple, "Let's go," then turned and walked away. Madilyn stood there, stunned and completely ignored. Watching Chloe leave, she tried to rush after her, but event staff stopped her firmly. She didn't even qualify to set foot on the stage now. Cameras captured the entire awkward moment before swiveling back to focus on Madilyn. "Mrs. Myers, what is the relationship between the Myers family and Chloe? Is it true Chloe is Mr. Myers's ex?" "Mr. Arthur Myers, are you and Chloe boyfriend and girlfriend? Sorry—were you?""Ms. Jennifer Williams?" The press closed in. Madilyn shrieked and urged Arthur to leave right now. But just as they tried to push through, law enforcement officers blocked their path. "Ms. Williams, you need to come with us to assist in the investigation." Jennifer froze, utterly stunned. She couldn't believe this was happening. One moment she thought she was about to reach her peak, and the next, she had crashed to the very bottom. "Arthur! They can't do this! This is all a misunderstanding! Everything I did was for you!" Jennifer turned to Arthur, playing on his emotions, trying to tug at his heartstrings. Arthur heard her voice and stalled, still dazed. He hadn't recovered from the earlier shock. "Arthur, are you just going to stand there and let them take me? You promised you would always take care of me," Jennifer pressed, her voice breaking.Arthur's mind finally snapped back to the present. He looked toward where Chloe had exited, paused for a long moment, then finally turned back and softly said, "Jennifer." ***** Inside the conference room at Cosmos Group... Oralia and Robert sat side-by-side on the sofa, perfectly in sync, sucking on lollipops and watching the people across from them like spectators at a show. Chloe sat with effortless grace, one hand resting lightly on the conference table, her long fingers tapping a slow rhythm. Leo stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, taking in the view of the Cosmos Group building. Landon stood nearby, a polite smile on his face. Eugene and Bruce entered the room just then. Chloe remained seated. When Eugene walked in, her eyes flickered toward him for just a breath.Leo turned from the window, gave Eugene a brief glance, then looked at Landon. "Cosmos's brand LOVE managed to sign away our most valuable asset. Now that the Four Seasons collection is launched, I believe our collaboration can be concluded." "Mr. Snow, the success of the Four Seasons line speaks for itself," Landon replied, stepping forward. Darin quickly handed him a performance report. Under the onslaught of public opinion, the Four Seasons collection saw some refund requests, and Cosmos Group was also affected—its stock market value dropped, with losses amounting to hundreds of millions. In a very short time, Chloe's identity was exposed, and news broke that the Four Seasons collection was designed by Mirabelle. After that, the Four Seasons collection soared straight up. LOVE's market value had already multiplied several times over, not to mention that Cosmos Group's stock had long since hit the daily limit.
