Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Chapter 200 I Loved Someone Else

Rose almost laughed sarcastically.

The Knight family had always placed profit above sentiment. As long as something brought value to the family, morality, principles, and human warmth could all be discarded.

Rose finally understood everything.

She quietly put down the white rose in her hand and completely withdrew from the situation.

Originally, she had come today for the divorce papers. Out of courtesy, she had intended to offer white roses to the Knight ancestors as a member of the younger generation.

But now that the Knight family wanted to have it both ways, she saw no reason to remain polite.

She certainly didn’t need to offer the rose.

She would simply make room for Samantha.

Rose set the white rose aside and stepped back.

There wasn’t the slightest sign that she intended to step forward and stop Samantha.

She watched coldly as the silent acceptance ceremony for Samantha continued.

Her sensible retreat from this battle between two women fighting for one man caused Ryan’s gaze to settle on her face.

Ryan watched as she quietly moved to the very back of the hall.

She looked as though she was preparing to leave altogether.

Like a complete outsider.

For a moment, Ryan even wondered whether Rose would be able to offer them her blessing today.

Unlike Ryan’s indifference, Margaret frowned as she watched Rose step away.

"Rose, don’t be stubborn. Why are you standing so far back? You are still Mrs. Knight."

Rose understood exactly what Margaret meant.

Margaret didn’t want to openly announce to the entire Knight family that she and Ryan were divorcing.

She wanted Rose to continue playing the role.

Rose let out a soft laugh.

No matter what she did, she was wrong.

If she became jealous, she was petty.

If she remained calm, she was sulking.

If she made a scene, she was unreasonable.

If she quietly withdrew, she was being stubborn.

Nothing she did was acceptable.

She was expected to endure everything with grace and humility.

Margaret had only spoken casually.

She had no intention of embarrassing Samantha today.

Waving her hand, she said, "Carry on."

If Rose had been as outstanding as Samantha, perhaps Ryan wouldn’t have changed his heart.

Ultimately, Margaret believed the problem lay with Rose herself.

In truth, she had also been dissatisfied with the incident involving Samantha’s departure from New Hope.

Ryan had paid Rose ninety million dollars.

Ninety million.

To Margaret, giving Rose such an enormous amount of money for Samantha’s sake had been a terrible bargain.

The Knight family had never allowed anyone to profit from them so easily.

If not for Samantha, Rose would never have received so much.

But now Samantha had finally proven her worth.

That made Margaret feel somewhat better.

Rose no longer looked at her.

She truly no longer wished to continue the charade.

She didn’t offer flowers.

She didn’t even watch as Ryan and Samantha stood side by side, placing their white roses before the family memorial and bowing their heads together like a newly married couple.

Instead, she quietly left the ancestral hall through the back.

Rose checked the time.

She planned to speak with Margaret once the tedious rituals were over.

Fortunately, Margaret was elderly and needed to rest afterward.

Rose carefully chose her moment and followed Margaret into the tea room.

Margaret looked at her. "What is it?"

Rose met her gaze directly. "Please return the divorce certificate."

Margaret’s expression gradually turned cold.

Rose spoke bluntly. "By allowing Samantha to attend today, you’ve already given your approval for her relationship with Ryan. As you’ve seen, Samantha has become extremely successful lately and is receiving praise everywhere. Your prejudice against her has disappeared, hasn’t it?"

As for the complicated relationships between brothers, sisters-in-law, and family ties—

The Knight family’s public relations team was more than capable of handling the scandal.

Rose was making her position clear.

She was willing to step aside.

Samantha satisfied the Knight family’s expectations.

If the family wanted grandchildren, Samantha could give them grandchildren.

Margaret asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Rose pressed her lips together.

Gathering her courage, she said, "Because I’ve fallen in love with another man."

At that exact moment, the door opened.

Rose didn’t turn around.

However, she saw Ryan’s reflection in the mirror.

He stood quietly at the doorway.

Yet Ryan showed no reaction.

It was impossible to tell whether he had actually heard the words: "I’ve fallen in love with another man."

"Dinner is ready." His voice was as calm as ever.

Margaret’s expression, which had darkened because of Rose’s bold statement, softened slightly.

As she rose, she said, "If you truly have someone else in mind, bring him here for me to see."

Rose’s lips tightened.

She had already agreed to Margaret’s condition that she would never remarry into the Knight family after the divorce.

Now Margaret wanted to meet the man?

Who exactly was she supposed to bring?
