Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Find Out The Secret Behind Trevor’s Daughter

Perhaps James realized that what he was asking was somewhat unreasonable.

Pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, he let out a bitter laugh.

"Rose really knows how to make life difficult. I thought someone else had bewitched Trevor, but it turns out the answer was right under my nose..."

Halfway through the sentence, he seemed to realize how inappropriate the remark sounded.

After all, Ryan had been Rose’s husband for years.

James glanced at Ryan.

Despite the string of requests that could only be described as unreasonable, Ryan showed no sign of irritation or anger.

Even when James accused Rose of bewitching Trevor, Ryan remained remarkably composed.

Ryan shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Unable to help himself, James followed his line of sight.

The venue was crowded and bustling. After searching through the crowd for several moments, James finally spotted Rose.

Ryan had been watching Rose all along.

James couldn’t help but comment,

"You really do have an eagle eye."

"This situation isn’t difficult to solve," Ryan said indifferently, ignoring the remark.

James looked at him. "You agree? You’ll help me delay the divorce? Put it on hold for now?"

The questions came one after another.

Ryan still didn’t answer directly.

Instead, he said slowly, "Trevor has kept his daughter’s existence extremely well hidden. But recently, there have been signs that information is being leaked. One possibility is that it’s intentional. He may never have intended to form an alliance with the Taylor family in the first place. He’s simply using his daughter’s existence to force your family to call off the engagement yourselves."

James’s expression stiffened.

He had no choice but to confront the reality of the situation.

What Ryan said made perfect sense.

Earlier, he had allowed his emotions to cloud his judgment and had overlooked the most important detail.

Now that Ryan had pointed it out, everything suddenly became clear.

Was Trevor doing this on purpose?

The Robinson and Taylor families had maintained a close relationship for generations. The marriage contract had been personally written by their great-grandfathers. Both families placed tremendous importance on such agreements.

Even if either side wanted to dissolve the engagement, it would trigger a major conflict. It could never be settled with a few simple words.

Otherwise, Trevor wouldn’t have dragged things out for so long.

The very reason he had waited until now was because ending the engagement would inevitably cause an upheaval.

"I haven’t even told my family about this yet," James admitted, his expression growing darker.

Why was Trevor so determined not to marry his sister?

Ryan caught sight of Rose running toward Caleb with a bright smile on her face.

Calmly, he looked away. "Until a proper solution is found, it would be unwise to burn bridges. The Taylor family has no reason to play into someone else’s hands."

James frowned. "What do you mean?"

Ryan slowly swirled the wine in his glass. "Trevor’s daughter’s biological mother may be the key."

The image of the little girl’s delicate face flashed through his mind.

A slight crease appeared between his brows before he continued.

"If Trevor was willing to leave the mother behind while taking the child away, then there was likely a reason the mother couldn’t enter the Robinson family. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have developed this way. If you can find her, Trevor’s relationships with other women will unravel on their own."

James felt as though a fog had suddenly lifted from his mind.

Every word Ryan spoke struck at the heart of the matter.

Trevor had fathered a child out of wedlock to avoid marrying into the Taylor family, yet he still hadn’t married the child’s mother.

That suggested one of two possibilities:

Either he didn’t want to marry her, or he couldn’t.

But would the child’s mother willingly accept having her child taken away?

If she were found, she would naturally expose the truth behind everything that had happened.

And if she returned and made a scene, the Robinson family—being the party at fault—would no longer be able to hide the truth.

At that point, the balance of power would shift.

Instead of being manipulated by Trevor, the Taylor family would have the upper hand.

The Robinson family would be the ones forced to answer for their actions.

"This is exactly why I wanted to talk to you."

James raised his glass and lightly clinked it against Ryan’s.

A short while ago, he had been so furious that he had nearly gone straight to confront Rose.

After all, from his perspective, Rose had been on the verge of becoming another man’s mistress.

Ryan merely shrugged.
