Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Stolen Opportunities

Almost the moment Rose finished speaking, the office door swung open.

Even from the corner of her eye, the man’s tall, imposing figure was impossible to ignore.

Rose turned, her eyes turning cold.

Her gaze collided sharply with Ryan’s bottomless black eyes.

At his side stood Samantha, elegant and smiling.

A few steps behind them, Oliver was chatting with a middle-aged man in a white lab coat.

The group appeared remarkably harmonious, as though they had already reached a mutual understanding. Their laughter and conversation sounded especially clear.

Ryan paused slightly and glanced sideways at Rose.

Mike Blake, one of Angel Hospital’s senior executives, noticed Rose and immediately showed a trace of regret.

"Ms. Bennett, I’m terribly sorry. An urgent matter came up. Have you been waiting long?"

However, the apology carried very little sincerity.

Rose looked directly at him. "Are you available to discuss our partnership now?"

She was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

As expected, Director Blake’s expression became slightly awkward.

"I’m sorry, but regarding your company’s surgical robotic system, we’ve decided not to move forward for the time being. Our hospital has decided to adopt Miss Hill’s Smart Therapy equipment instead."

Rose wasn’t surprised.

Instead, she cast a cold glance toward Ryan.

The partnership with Director Blake had already been nearly finalized.

Yet at the last moment, they had been placed on hold and completely shut out of further negotiations.

She could think of no other explanation besides Ryan’s intervention.

Samantha noticed Rose’s frustration.

After all, very few people could remain calm after being ignored for over an hour without explanation.

She smiled slightly. "Director Blake and I have already reached an agreement. As for other smart medical equipment, Director Blake probably isn’t considering additional options anymore."

G.S.’s potential partner had been taken by Samantha.

This was the answer Rose had received.

Angel Hospital had been at the very top of G.S.’s list of potential partners.

The partnership would greatly benefit the promotion and adoption of their smart medical devices.

It would also directly impact the company’s final contract volume.

A crucial link in G.S.’s plans had been transferred to Samantha with Ryan’s assistance.

He was openly helping the other side.

If this had been fair competition, Rose wouldn’t have said a single word.

But Ryan had used his own connections and influence to cut off the partnership G.S. had nearly secured with Angel Hospital, including the final meeting that was supposed to finalize the agreement.

This was nothing short of stealing.

"Since you’d already decided to exclude G.S., why didn’t you notify us earlier?"

Rose’s expression had become unusually cold.

Ending a partnership only required a single phone call.

Yet she had been deliberately left waiting.

Director Blake disliked her aggressive tone and was about to respond.

However, Ryan spoke first. "If this referral partnership is so important to you, I can introduce G.S. to several other medical institutions."

His calm tone sounded like compensation offered after taking something away.

As though he were warning her not to be petty or unreasonable.

Rose stared at him in disbelief, nearly laughing from frustration.

"So Mr. Knight knows exactly what he’s doing."

Everyone knew the value of partnering with Angel.

He had taken the best resources and handed them to Samantha, only to compensate Rose with leftovers.

Ryan appeared completely unaffected by her sarcasm.

He stepped forward and slipped a business card into the inner pocket of her bag.

"If you need anything, contact them."

It felt like a handout.

As though he were casually dismissing her.

As though he wanted her to stop making trouble.

Samantha was clearly in an excellent mood.

Rose and G.S. had been rejected, while she had successfully signed with Angel Hospital.

Her Smart Therapy equipment would soon be introduced.

She glanced at Rose. "I know you’re eager to secure a promotion at G.S. by closing this deal and proving yourself, but these are decisions made by upper management. Sometimes you simply have to admit that you weren’t capable of closing the deal."

Rose’s eyes turned icy.

The accusation felt utterly ridiculous.

Angel Hospital had originally agreed to work with G.S.

Samantha had stepped in and taken the partnership.

Yet now Rose was being blamed for failing to secure it.
