Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Matching License Plate

Even Oliver couldn’t help clearing his throat at the words "my husband’s mistress."

He couldn’t help taking a serious look at Rose.

Had Rose always been this... dryly sarcastic?

Samantha’s lips curled into a cold sneer. She had no intention of engaging with Rose over such sour remarks born of jealousy.

Her gaze fell on Rose’s vehicle.

"Is that your car?"

"I stole it."

Rose thought the question was ridiculous.

Her answer was deliberately half-hearted.

Ryan glanced at her with a detached expression.

Rose’s face remained unchanged.

He couldn’t very well hold it against her just because she’d teased him about his "mistress."

Knowing Rose was deliberately being difficult, Oliver stepped in on Samantha’s behalf.

"Rose, I think you should reflect on this. Using a matching license plate with Ryan isn’t appropriate, is it? Won’t people mistakenly assume you’re Mrs. Knight?"

"A couple’s license plate?"

Rose frowned.

She looked in the direction Oliver was pointing.

Not far from her vehicle sat a brand-new Range Rover.

The first several digits of its license plate were identical to hers, with only the final number differing.

One ended in 7.

The other ended in 3.

Rose had the 7.

Ryan had the 3.

To anyone looking, they did indeed resemble a couple’s set of license plates.

Parked side by side, they were particularly eye-catching.

Especially considering both vehicles were widely recognized luxury models.

But Oliver’s comment about people "mistakenly assuming she was Mrs. Knight" was genuinely amusing.

She was legally married to Ryan.

What misunderstanding was there to clarify?

Was Samantha really making such a fuss over this?

"Such similar license plates. What a coincidence."

Samantha looked down at Rose.

Her tone remained calm, though the corners of her lips twitched slightly.

"You really went to a lot of trouble."

"Are you implying I did it on purpose?" Rose asked.

Samantha suddenly smiled. "I didn’t say that. Why are you so eager to defend yourself? I’m not even upset."

Rose found the whole situation absurd.

Samantha’s sense of superiority was even stronger than her own imagination.

What part of that had been a defense?

And what right did Samantha have to be upset?

In what capacity?

Did true love now outrank the law?

Had marriage become nothing more than a meaningless piece of paper?

"Since you seem so easily agitated, I could recommend a mild sedative."

Rose’s tone remained perfectly calm.

"Rose, there’s really no need for that."

Oliver stepped in again. "She was just speaking politely and asking a reasonable question about your license plate."

The more he watched, the more convinced he became that Rose was deliberately targeting Samantha.

Getting a similar license plate just to provoke her.

When women became jealous and resentful, they could be remarkably petty.

Samantha immediately followed up. "I’m only offering some advice. That plate number isn’t particularly auspicious. You’d be better off changing it."

Rose stared at her silently.

Samantha was clearly bothered by the matching license plates and upset about the coincidence.

Yet she still insisted on acting generous and magnanimous.

Rose then turned her gaze toward Ryan, who had been indulging Samantha all along.

At that moment, he lifted his eyes slightly and met her gaze.

His expression was unreadable.

Rose couldn’t tell whether Ryan was actually annoyed by the matching license plates.

But his willingness to indulge Samantha was obvious.

Her patience was nearly exhausted.

Looking directly at him, she said flatly: "Please keep your sister-in-law under control."

The moment the words left her mouth—

Samantha’s expression changed dramatically.

Oliver’s smile froze.

He immediately glanced around to make sure nobody had overheard.

Ryan watched Rose as she opened her car door.

He knew perfectly well that she had said it solely to provoke them.
