Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Chapter 16 A Secret Hidden in Her Pulse

Rose couldn’t help but think: Even the Chairman Knight probably couldn’t have foreseen this situation.

Back then, Chairman Knight had personally taken several members of the Knight family overseas to settle there.

Next year, that branch of the family was scheduled to return.

By then, even if they found out, it would likely be too late.

Rose accepted the money without a second thought.

It had practically been handed to her on a silver platter—there was no reason to act high and mighty and refuse it.

To others, that wouldn’t look like pride. It would look like stupidity.

Since she had the chance to dip into Ryan’s wallet, she certainly wasn’t going to let him off lightly. She intended to make it hurt as much as possible.

A massive sum was deposited into her account.

Rose didn’t hold back, either. She immediately started searching for a new home.

With the housing issue resolved, she also planned to buy a new car for herself.

She would treat it as a complete farewell to her old life.

During her lunch break, Rose headed straight to the dealership.

She ordered a Range Rover’s SUV made by Land Rover.

Spacious and comfortable, it was both professional and family friendly.

The dealership happened to have one in stock, so she could drive it home that very day.

It cost just over half a million dollars—the first luxury vehicle she had ever owned.

She also selected a new license plate. Luck was on her side, and she managed to secure her favorite lucky number.

The purchase put Rose in a much better mood.

She drove back to Grand Sage [G.S].

Just as she was about to enter the elevator, she ran into Samantha coming out.

Seeing Rose, Samantha froze for a moment before slightly furrowing her brow.

"What are you doing here?" Samantha asked.

Rose shot her a cold glance, didn’t bother responding, and walked straight into the elevator.

Samantha glanced back at the closing doors.

She could think of only one possibility.

Was Rose here for a job interview?

Today, Samantha had come to submit a proposal for collaboration with the Nathan Hale Institute for Pharmaceutical Research.

She wanted to join Grand Sage’s core team, hoping it would eventually increase her chances of joining similar project like these, which collaborated with Global-level research centers.

If Rose was here for the same reason, then Samantha had nothing to worry about.

After all, Rose’s résumé consisted primarily of emergency room nursing experience. It wasn’t particularly impressive, even if her ambitions were.

Even if Rose somehow managed to join Grand Sage, she would still end up beneath Samantha.

If Samantha successfully partnered with Grand Sage, Rose would ultimately be working under her direction.

At that point, Grand Sage would make it abundantly clear just how wide the gap between them really was.

With that thought, Samantha curled her lips into a faint sneer and walked away from the Grand Sage building without another glance.

Rose arrived at the R&D department.

Everyone was busy moving about in thick sterile lab coats.

Caleb emerged from the pharmaceutical analysis division and waved as soon as he spotted her.

"Take a look at the people who’ve contacted Grand Sage over the past few days. Sort through them, see who’s worth considering, and make the necessary arrangements. Oh, and by the way, your husband’s mistress is among them."

Rose glanced casually through the list.

"She wants to join the core R&D team? She certainly knows how to choose her stepping stones."

Samantha was an ambitious person.

Since returning to the country, she had appeared on numerous talk shows and received invitations to various medical programs.

She was already considered a celebrity doctor within the industry.

After all, she was beautiful, articulate, highly educated, and had an impressive résumé.

"Samantha may have an impressive résumé, but her heart isn’t in research and development. She’s far more interested in cultivating her public image."

Caleb raised an eyebrow. "I’ll give her special treatment."

Rose looked at him curiously. "What kind of special treatment?"

Caleb smiled. "Reject her first."

Rose immediately gave him a thumbs-up.

Grand Sage’s response came quickly.

Samantha had just met Ryan and Oliver at a restaurant.

She was in an excellent mood today.

After all, she would have an opportunity to work alongside Rose in the future.

Eventually, Rose would come to realize just how completely she had lost.

"What’s got you so happy?" Oliver asked, noticing Samantha’s cheerful expression.

Ryan glanced over as well.

Samantha smiled helplessly. "I ran into someone amusing today. Watching them try so hard was honestly a little heartbreaking."

To dare submit a résumé to Grand Sage—the harder Rose tried, the more pitiful it seemed.

"Who was it?" Oliver asked.

"No one important."

Samantha had no intention of naming names.

Ryan pushed the menu toward her.

"Take a look and see what you’d like to eat."

Oliver clicked his tongue.

"So now I’m the third wheel?"

Samantha covered her mouth and laughed.

"What are you talking about..."

Her phone vibrated.
