Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Chapter 128 The Woman Who Saved Mathew

“Watch out.”

Rose was bored out of her mind. She didn’t know anyone, so she could only wander around by herself.

She nearly collided with an elderly man.

Before she could react, the old man suddenly grabbed her hand excitedly.

“It really is you, young lady!”

Rose looked at him in confusion.

She didn’t recognize him.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Mathew realized she didn’t remember him at all. He quickly explained, “The resort. The free medical clinic. You saved an old man there—it was me. Do you remember?”

At that, Rose began to recall the incident.

He had even vomited on her back then.

Her eyes widened in surprise. “What are you doing here?”

The anger Mathew had been carrying moments ago vanished instantly.

“I’m the guest of honor today. Young lady, what’s your name? Did Oliver invite you, or are you here representing a particular family?”

He reasoned that if Rose hadn’t been invited by Oliver, she must have been attending as a representative of another prominent family.

He was certain he knew the family she represented.

“I—”

“Mr. Brown, the dignitaries have arrived. You’d better head over,” the steward said hurriedly in a low voice.

Rose vaguely heard that a high-ranking government official had arrived.

Mathew’s expression immediately turned serious.

He looked at Rose and said solemnly, “Young lady, I’ll have someone arrange a seat for you in the VIP section. Grandpa will come find you later, all right?”

Rose nodded.

Only then did Mathew hurry away.

Watching his retreating figure, Rose couldn’t help but marvel at the coincidence.

He was actually Oliver’s grandfather.

But when she thought about Oliver...

Rose frowned.

Just another spoiled rich kid hopelessly devoted to Samantha.

She turned and headed toward the main hall.

After Rose left, Samantha slowly emerged from the restroom in the back.

Her face was deathly pale, and the hand clutching a tissue trembled slightly.

No wonder the old man had been so cold toward her.

So Rose was the one who had saved him all along.

And yet she had...

Samantha bit her lip.

Her eyes flickered with fear, embarrassment, and anger.

After all, she had already made a terrible impression on Mathew.

She even wondered if Rose had deliberately appeared at this moment just to make things difficult for her.

*****

Rose looked around.

The guests were seated according to status and influence.

She understood perfectly well that in this circle, people were not treated equally. Wealth, power, and connections determined everything, and no one questioned it.

The VIP section was naturally the most prestigious area.

Just moments earlier, Rose had been wondering where she should sit.

After all, Ryan had arrived with Samantha.

There was clearly no place reserved for her at his side.

Since Mathew had arranged a seat for her in the VIP section, she headed there first.

The moment she arrived, she met Samantha’s icy gaze.

Samantha looked her up and down before her eyes settled on the brooch pinned to Rose’s chest.

Her expression shifted. “Take off that brooch. It’s inappropriate.”

Rose hadn’t expected such a blunt command the moment she sat down.

Before she could respond, someone nearby spoke up.

“What a coincidence. It’s exactly the same as Mr. Knight’s brooch.”

Rose’s gaze immediately shifted to the man seated elegantly nearby, casually sipping his drink.

On the lapel of his black suit was a sapphire butterfly brooch.

The gemstone sparkled brilliantly beneath the lights.

At another table, a woman looked at Rose strangely.

“That’s a limited-edition couple’s set from a luxury brand. Only eighteen pairs were released worldwide. They’re nearly impossible to get. But... the odds of accidentally matching someone else’s boyfriend are pretty low.”

She might as well have said outright that Rose had done it on purpose.

Everyone knew Ryan had attended with Samantha today.

Now a woman appeared wearing the matching piece of a rare couple’s set.

The coincidence was difficult to ignore.

“Exactly. Mr. Knight’s sapphire brooch matches Ms. Hill’s blue dress—not yours.”

“And don’t forget, she’s wearing blue too. Even if she couldn’t change dresses, she could at least remove the brooch.”

This social circle had always been hostile toward women who lacked official status.

Naturally, they banded together and “looked out for one another.”
