Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 101 The Trap Closes Around Samantha

Back in New York, Samantha accompanied Ryan on a trip to New Hope.

Oliver was with them as well.

In the lounge, Samantha smiled and said, "Why don’t you come over for dinner tonight? I’m planning to ask Ryan to come home with me."

A hint of shyness flashed across her face.

Oliver, ever the smooth talker, set down his teacup and chuckled.

"You two are practically meeting the parents. Why would I tag along and get in the way? I’d just be a third wheel."

Samantha couldn’t help laughing. "Not at all. It’s just dinner. My mom fell down the stairs yesterday, so I want to check on her."

"Is it serious?" Oliver asked.

"She has a hairline fracture in her leg. We need to find a good hospital and admit her for observation."

Oliver thought for a moment. "Peace Orthopedics has a good reputation. Why not take her there?"

At that, Samantha smiled faintly, amusement flickering in her eyes.

"Peace is probably still busy dealing with Mike’s incident. After all, Mr. Byrne is Peace Hospital’s crown prince, and G.S.’s clinical trials were conducted there. It’s a complicated situation."

In her opinion, she had already shown Peace and G.S. considerable leniency.

She hadn’t called the police.

She hadn’t filed a lawsuit.

Nor had she publicly damaged Peace’s reputation.

Although it involved medical malpractice, Peace still owed her a favor.

When G.S. eventually dismissed Rose and invited Samantha back into the project as a co-author, that would serve as compensation.

It would also smooth over the previous conflict involving Mike, who had vandalized Dean Leo Byrne’s office and offended him.

"Rose went to L.A. again with President Byrne," Samantha continued. "In my opinion, she’s already running on fumes. President Byrne has to consider the bigger picture. Funding and getting the drug approved are what really matter."

Oliver nodded.

He felt the situation was practically settled.

From Peace Hospital’s perspective, sacrificing someone like Rose—the most expendable member of the project—was the easiest solution.

Shaking his head, he sighed.

A strange sense of melancholy washed over him.

What had all those years of conflict achieved?

Rose had done everything she could to get rid of Samantha.

And now it seemed all her efforts had amounted to nothing.

Sooner or later, Samantha would be welcomed back into the project with great fanfare.

Samantha calmly took a sip of coffee.

She was in an excellent mood.

The new cardiovascular drug being developed by G.S. was incredibly valuable.

She was determined to have her name listed on the publication.

That achievement would become the stepping stone for her future career.

Just then, her phone rang. "I need to take this."

She stood and walked aside.

The incoming number was a landline.

Frowning, she answered. "Hello?"

"Ms. Samantha Hill, this is the New York police station. A copy of the complaint will be served to you today. Please ensure that you receive it."

As the caller explained the details, Samantha’s expression changed dramatically.

Peace Hospital and G.S. had jointly filed a lawsuit against her.

And they had submitted evidence.

Documentary footage.

Her pupils contracted.

A documentary?

Her heart skipped a beat.

She had completely forgotten about Diana’s filming.

The hidden cameras.

The behind-the-scenes footage.

Click.

The lounge door opened.

Ryan walked in.

Samantha turned toward him, her face pale.

"Ryan..."

Her voice trembled. "G.S. and Peace have filed a joint lawsuit against me."

Ryan looked up.

Oliver nearly jumped to his feet. "What?"

******

Rose hadn’t expected the documentary footage to capture a Columbia University graduate student.

Ten minutes before she entered Mike’s room, that student had gone in first.

Rose remembered her well.

The young woman was extremely close to Samantha.

She constantly defended her and practically idolized her.

The police quickly summoned her for questioning.

Terrified, the graduate student looked as though her entire future had collapsed.

"I don’t know anything," she said anxiously. "Mike is Ms. Hill’s younger brother. She was busy that day, so she asked me to check on him and bring him dinner."

Rose was silent for a long moment.

The situation was far more complicated than she had originally imagined.

Caleb laughed bitterly. "It seems everyone around her is just a tool."

The implication was obvious.

Rose frowned. "You’re saying Samantha orchestrated the entire thing herself?"

"Otherwise, how else could the dosage have been calculated so precisely?" Caleb replied coldly. "It was enough to make the situation look critical without actually endangering the child’s life. The timing was perfect—right before our drug launch, during G.S.’s funding round, and involving Peace Hospital."
