Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 The New Owner of New Hope

As the call ended, Rose clenched her fingers, watching the blood gradually return to her pale hands. Color slowly spread back into her fingertips.

The icy chill coursing through her body finally began to fade.

It seemed she no longer had anything holding her back.

Just before leaving the country, Trevor had given her exactly the reassurance she needed.

Rose was grateful to him.

At a time like this, helping her was, in many ways, equivalent to standing against Ryan.

She wouldn’t forget that debt.

Afterward, Rose made a trip to G.S.

She brought the transfer agreement and contract documents with her. Caleb had already arranged for a lawyer to be on standby.

The group reviewed the paperwork repeatedly, examining every clause word by word.

They were extremely cautious.

"Kingswell Group’s legal team is ruthless," Caleb said. "You have to be careful with any document that comes from them."

He was worried Ryan might have hidden a trap somewhere.

In their line of work, contractual loopholes were everywhere.

Sometimes a single word—or even a punctuation mark—could become a legal minefield.

Ryan had been merciless toward Rose before. There was no guarantee he wouldn’t remain that way until the very end.

Once New Hope was in Rose’s hands, its value would inevitably soar. Caleb wanted to make sure the Knight family would never have an opportunity to interfere.

Rose chuckled. "Not bad. You’re even more cautious than I am."

Caleb shrugged. "What choice do I have? Taking a prize like New Hope away from the Knight family is practically like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. One mistake and it’ll slip through our fingers. We need to hold on tight."

The Knight family was infamous for devouring everything in its path without leaving so much as a bone behind.

For Rose, acquiring New Hope was like walking away with a mountain of gold.

If word got out, people would probably assume she possessed extraordinary connections, unmatched cunning, and impeccable strategy.

Rose couldn’t disagree.

Originally, she had thought one lawyer would be enough.

Caleb, however, had insisted on bringing three.

Now all three sat together, reviewing the documents clause by clause.

Finally, after several rounds of verification, one of them said, "There are no issues at all. The agreement clearly states that New Hope will operate as an independent company. Eighty percent of Mr. Knight’s shares are being transferred to Ms. Bennett immediately, and the remaining shares will automatically transfer to her after one year without any additional procedures."

Caleb blinked in surprise. "He’s actually giving it to you?"

Rose asked, "How long will the transfer process take?"

One of the lawyers replied, "It’ll take some time. Kingswell’s legal department works quickly, but even so, it will take at least two or three days."

Rose fell silent.

What did that mean?

The incident had only happened today, yet Ryan had already produced all the transfer documents.

Caleb seemed to reach the same conclusion.

"Did he plan to give this to you before everything happened?" he asked. "If so, why didn’t he do it earlier?"

Rose stared quietly at Ryan’s signature.

The answer didn’t matter anymore.

After confirming everything was in order, she signed the documents.

The revelation of her marriage to Ryan eventually caused a minor stir within their social circle.

People who had remained silent on Whats App for years suddenly appeared one after another.

Among the flood of messages, Rose spotted one from Jordan.

Jordan Dutch: ?

Just a single question mark.

Rose could practically feel the shattered remnants of his dignity through the screen.

There was also a missed call from him.

She ignored both.

After all, he had chosen to make a fool of himself. Why should she help him save face now?

Several calls from unknown numbers came in as well.

She didn’t answer them.

Then came a barrage of text messages.

[Rose, she’s your sister. Don’t make things difficult for your own family. Go talk some sense into her. Didn’t you benefit when she was successful? Stop throwing a tantrum.]

[Look at the mess you’ve caused! Your sister has been humiliated and ridiculed these past few days. Everyone thinks she’s the other woman! You need to clear this up immediately!]

[How did I end up with a daughter who’s so ungrateful and heartless?]

Rose immediately recognized Logan.

She used to wonder why he could be so cruel toward her.

He loved his stepdaughter a thousand times more than he had ever loved her.

Now she knew why.
