Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Samantha’s New Ambition

Leo showed no sign of rejection, which delighted Samantha.

She had originally thought that, after the incident involving Mike and Rose’s pediatric clinical trial, Leo might have some reservations about her. She hadn’t expected him to be so open-minded.

It only reinforced her belief that he evaluated people objectively and fairly based on their abilities.

"Director Byrne, I’ll do my best not to disappoint you," Samantha said confidently, her smile warm and sincere.

Anyone who saw her would be charmed by her cheerful and gracious demeanor.

Leo adjusted his glasses once again.

But he didn’t say a word.

After all, once someone met the qualifications, applying for a doctoral program was a personal choice. Naturally, he wasn’t going to refuse outright.

As Leo prepared to leave, he cast a subtle glance at Ryan, who had quietly stepped aside, avoiding the spotlight and giving Samantha center stage.

Such a brilliant and exceptionally talented young woman—and yet he was completely blind when it came to relationships.

Rose was beautiful, gifted, and extraordinary.

He ignored the finest feast before his and instead insisted on digging through scraps as though they were priceless treasures.

Ryan naturally noticed the complicated look Leo gave him before leaving.

Oliver frowned in confusion.

"Dean Byrne seems to have something against you. Did he just glare at you?"

For a moment, he wondered if he had imagined it.

After all, Leo Byrne was famous for his calm temperament. Regardless of status or background, he never put on airs or lost his composure.

"Did he?" Ryan raised an eyebrow, looking completely unconcerned.

Oliver shook his head.

"I must’ve seen it wrong."

Who among the older generation wouldn’t admire someone like Ryan?

Most of them would happily marry their daughters into his family if they had the chance.

The Knights in the North and the Robinsons in the South—Ryan and Trevor were among the most sought-after marriage prospects in their circles.

"Dean Byrne is actually quite nice. He doesn’t hold grudges over past misunderstandings," Samantha said cheerfully, unable to resist speaking up for him.

She believed Dean Byrne had excellent judgment.

He recognized her potential.

As for Dr. Nathan, he was simply too high up in the field to accurately recognize emerging talent.

Oliver smiled. "That’s because he admires you. Who wouldn’t want a student capable of carrying on their legacy? I’d guess Dean Byrne has already accepted you in his mind—he’s just waiting for your application."

As he spoke, he glanced at Rose, who had quietly slipped away, clearly uninterested in listening to Samantha’s self-congratulatory remarks.

He let out a dismissive snort.

"She knows she’s embarrassed herself, so she’s making a quick exit."

Samantha glanced over and laughed softly behind her hand.

"It doesn’t matter. This isn’t really a conversation outsiders can contribute to."

As she spoke, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. Turning toward Ryan, she asked, "Ryan, I need to start preparing my application materials. Will you help me today?"

A faint smile appeared on Ryan’s lips.

"Of course."

As Caleb turned around, he happened to witness the entire exchange.
