Chaos filled Lewis Manor after the family returned from the press conference. Monique struggled to accept the truth—Chloe was actually the founder of a global luxury brand. The famous LOVELESS belonged to her. The asset made Monique's head spin. Even the sales from one small division could easily surpass the entire Lewis Group's profits, not to mention the brand's prestige and influence. A bitter laugh escaped her. Six years ago, when they'd dragged Chloe from that fishing village, she'd seemed so helpless. Had it all been an act? When Chloe cut ties so cleanly with the Lewis family—was that part of her plan all along? The more Monique thought, the angrier she got. That girl had played them all. Damn her. Carolyn stayed much calmer than her mother. They'd planned to cause some trouble at the press event, maybe damage Cosmos Group's reputation. But Madilyn beat them to it. The Myers family making a scene worked even better for their plans. They were all set to watch the drama unfold but never expected to witness something truly shocking. Chloe—founder of LOVELESS. Her wealth was beyond counting. How did everything get turned upside down so fast? Carolyn watched her mother fume. Her father Scott sat frozen on the couch, still struggling to process Chloe's identity. He even muttered that he regretted kicking Chloe out and signing those papers to sever ties. Ha! So what if Chloe founded LOVELESS? She could forget about returning to the Lewis family. Carolyn would make sure of that. Meanwhile, at the Myers Manor, things were quieter.Arthur came home exhausted. Donald had driven him back. Leo's threat at the press conference became reality; LOVELESS sued his mother for slander. Their legal team showed no mercy. The Myers family had to accept the charges. Accepting meant public humiliation. LOVELESS even demanded Madilyn make a public apology and pay compensation. If they'd asked for millions, Arthur wouldn't have blinked. He was CEO of Myers Group, after all. But LOVELESS asked for one dollar. One single dollar. The demand felt like a slap across their family's face. Frustration burned in Arthur's stomach, but he had no outlet. Madilyn had to apologize. Refusing would make LOVELESS their enemy. Arthur knew why the brand pushed so hard—Chloe was angry. He wanted to apologize to her, but she gave him no chance. "Mr. Myers, your mother still refuses to apologize," Donald said nervously. "She says she'd rather die than apologize publicly." "Then let her die. She made this mess—she can face the consequences." Arthur's voice turned cold. "I've let her get away with too much. It ends now." Donald nodded and stepped back. Arthur collapsed onto the sofa, completely drained. He rubbed his temples. Every time Chloe's name crossed his mind, his chest ached. She'd stood by him all those years, and how had he treated her? Thinking back over the past six years, he had never shown her genuine care. Marrying him seemed to have turned her into an accessory—something not worth his attention. Realizing his own actions, Arthur clutched the shirt over his chest tightly—so tightly that he didn't even notice when a button popped off."Chloe," he whispered into the empty room. A car pulled up outside. The lawyer entered, followed by two others. Jennifer came in, dragging a messy-looking Jenarth. Jenarth spotted Arthur and called out excitedly, "Daddy Arthur!" "Arthur," Jennifer added softly. "Stop right there." Arthur raised a hand, his voice cutting through the dim room. Jennifer froze, clutching Jenarth's hand. She stared at Arthur, but couldn't read his expression in the moonlight. The villa lights remained off, leaving his face in shadow.
