Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Chapter 189 The Difference Between Status and Strength

Rose wasn’t a student at NYU, nor was she attending as an honorary alumna. She was there in her capacity as an incoming associate professor.

Although the formal procedures had not yet been fully completed, she had been granted special permission to attend due to the nature of the event.

On such an important day for NYU, many industry leaders had been invited, including CEOs from major companies who had come to recruit talent.

Caleb would be there as well.

On the day of the event, Rose drove over with Caleb and headed straight to the NYU campus.

While checking his email, Caleb chuckled and said, “Once you officially join the faculty, will I need to make an appointment just to see you?”

Rose immediately caught the teasing tone.

“No problem,” she replied. “Given our relationship, I’ll pull some strings for you.”

Watching her seize the opportunity so naturally, Caleb shook his head and laughed.

After all, there had only been a handful of cases in NYU’s history where someone Rose’s age had been appointed associate professor by special exception. The significance of her achievement was undeniable.

Her future was so bright it was almost blinding.

As soon as they arrived, Leo’s assistant was already waiting to greet them.

The campus was unusually lively today, with a constant stream of visitors coming and going.

After entering the Great Hall, Rose spotted Leo speaking with several elderly gentlemen. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed her and waved her over.

Rose walked toward him.

“These gentlemen are all academicians from the National Academy of Medicine and Research,” Leo said. “Rose, come meet them.”

Rose was momentarily stunned after the introductions.

These were some of the nation’s most respected medical authorities—Leo’s colleagues—and he had introduced her to them so casually.

Under normal circumstances, meeting even one of them would have been extremely difficult.

She immediately put aside her usual relaxed demeanor and introduced herself with proper respect and professionalism.

One of the academicians, Adam Paul, looked Rose up and down before turning to Leo.

“So this is the little treasure you’re always talking about?”

Everyone present knew how much Leo doted on his junior colleague. He spoke about her constantly.

On top of that, rumors had already spread that she was about to become an associate professor through a special appointment. Her future looked exceptionally promising.

Leo snorted. “She’s not bad.”

He still had to maintain some dignity in front of Rose.

Caleb leaned over and whispered, “The old man’s putting on an act.”

Rose shot him a warning glance.

How could he joke around at a time like this?

Unfortunately, that single look did not go unnoticed.

A group approaching from behind happened to witness the entire exchange.

James was surprised.

The glance Rose gave Caleb wasn’t cold or sarcastic. Instead, it carried an unmistakable sense of trust and familiarity.

It was the kind of look reserved for someone very close—almost like the affection between siblings.

Oliver, however, frowned. “Is this Rose’s style? Flirting with anyone she meets?”

Today, he, James, and Samantha had all returned as honorary alumni.

However, neither he nor James had been in the same program as Samantha.

As he spoke, he glanced at Ryan.

Ryan had already withdrawn his gaze from that direction.

He appeared completely uninterested.

Samantha was secretly pleased by his reaction.

However, when she looked again at the influential figures surrounding Rose, her expression became serious.

“Dean Byrne introduced her to all of them. Isn’t he being a little too generous?”

Having worked in the industry for years, Samantha immediately recognized the people standing beside Leo.

They were among the most respected names in medicine.

Any one of them could fill pages of search results online.

Yet Leo had introduced Rose to them so casually.

Even Samantha herself had never had the opportunity to meet them.

James glanced thoughtfully at Rose and Caleb.
