Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 126 The Mistaken Mrs. Knight

It was a call from Margaret.

Rose had long since realized that people of Margaret’s status could find out almost anything they wanted—including her new phone number.

She answered the call.

Margaret didn’t waste time with pleasantries.

“What time are you coming today?”

“I’ll be there shortly,” Rose replied.

“Is Ryan with you?”

Rose hesitated for a moment, about to say yes, when Margaret snorted coldly.

“What’s he off doing now?”

“You both need to be there today. Otherwise, what will people think?”

By now, Rose had learned how to be tactful. She no longer openly challenged Margaret.

“Alright,” she agreed.

After ending the call, Rose sat there for a long moment.

In the end, she decided to call Ryan.

Even though she knew he hadn’t saved her new number, she felt obligated to make the effort.

As expected, he didn’t answer.

He had left early that morning and hadn’t even eaten breakfast with her.

She had no idea whether he was genuinely busy or simply choosing to ignore her.

Since she couldn’t reach him, she had no choice but to head there alone.

The Brown family patriarch’s birthday celebration was a grand affair. They had reserved the entire resort hotel—banquet halls, guest suites, and entertainment facilities—to accommodate guests who had traveled from all over the country.

Rose drove herself.

After nearly an hour and a half on the highway, she finally arrived.

Luxury cars filled the parking lot.

Waiters hurried back and forth, bustling with activity.

Unfamiliar with the venue, Rose wanted to see whether Ryan had already arrived.

Meanwhile, guests continued to pour in.

The atmosphere was lively and festive.

In a private lounge, Matthew leaned on his cane and shot Oliver a cold look.

“Didn’t you say you knew the young lady who saved my life back then? Invite her over. I still haven’t had the chance to thank her properly.”

Oliver laughed helplessly. “Grandpa, you still remember that?”

Matthew tapped Oliver sharply on the leg with his cane.

“What kind of attitude is that? How can anyone be so ungrateful? Stop fooling around. The Brown family owes that young lady a tremendous debt of gratitude—one that can never truly be repaid.”

If it hadn’t been for her back then...

He wouldn’t be celebrating his birthday today.

He would have been long gone, with nothing left but family memories.

Oliver quickly surrendered. “I invited her, I invited her. She’ll be here soon. Once you meet her in person, you’ll like her even more. I’ll go pick her up right now, okay?”

Only then did Matthew look satisfied.

He had been looking forward to this for a long time.

Earlier, Oliver had promised to thank his savior on his behalf.

Today was finally his chance to do it properly.

Not daring to delay any longer, Oliver hurried outside.

The old man had a terrible temper and expected immediate results whenever he gave an order.

The moment he stepped outside, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

Meanwhile, Rose was making her way through the resort.

Guests clustered in small groups, chatting and laughing.

Many had flown in from different cities and states.

The grounds were enormous, and it took her quite a while to find the main banquet hall.

Just as she was about to call Ryan again, she heard someone rush past her.

“The CEO of Kingswell is here! Hurry and see if you can catch a glimpse of him!”

Rose frowned.

Although she had already suspected Ryan had arrived without informing her, having it confirmed still left a bitter taste in her mouth.

If he didn’t want to arrive together, he could have simply told her.

Instead, he had left her completely in the dark.

Following the crowd’s gaze, she looked over.

Then she froze.

Ryan was already surrounded by people beneath the veranda.

And standing beside him...

Was Samantha.

The two were exchanging pleasantries with the guests, looking every bit like a newlywed couple.

Dressed in an elegant midnight-blue evening gown, Samantha wore a sweet, captivating smile as she held Ryan’s arm.

Together, they looked like the perfect couple everyone admired.
