Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 224 The Tables Turn

Only then did Ryan set down his coffee cup.

“I’ll handle it.”

He made his position clear.

The knot in Samantha’s heart instantly loosened. She knew Ryan would find the exposure of his relationship with Rose just as unacceptable as she did.

She didn’t want it, and Ryan wanted it even less.

Rose’s attempt to act aloof during that phone call had clearly backfired. It hadn’t made Ryan willing to deliberately leave the news alone just to accommodate her wishes.

Rose had miscalculated.

Oliver joked, “Anyway, Rose’s face wasn’t shown in the photos. Ryan covered it, so she never actually appeared in public.”

“In that case, what’s wrong with explaining later that the woman in the photo is Sam?”

A flicker passed through Samantha’s eyes before she replied casually, “I don’t need to borrow someone else’s identity.”

Now that Ryan had decided to have the photos removed, she felt much more at ease.

At least there would be an explanation for the fans later.

However—

“I have my interview the day after tomorrow. That’s something worth celebrating.”

Unlike Rose, who was supposedly entangled in romantic complications just to gain attention, Samantha had something truly important ahead of her.

Oliver looked over. “Did you get the notice?”

Samantha smiled. “It’s confirmed.”

“Then you’re definitely in. Professor Byrne usually accepts three candidates, and with your background, you’re practically guaranteed a spot.”

Samantha knew it as well. Her background and résumé were among her greatest strengths. With three openings available, she was confident she would secure one as long as she performed well in the interview.

So much had happened recently.

Her doctoral application was her strongest card.

It was the only way to restore her reputation.

Perhaps it would even erase the humiliation she had suffered at the Knight family’s home.

With that in mind, Samantha looked at Ryan. She deliberately avoided mentioning the photos again, acting as though she didn’t care at all.

“Ryan, could you accompany me that day? I’d feel more at ease if you were there.”

Ryan leaned back in his chair and nodded calmly.

“Sure.”

******

Rose never managed to get in touch with Ryan.

Nor did he return her call.

He never told her where he was going. He was as elusive as ever, appearing only when he wished to.

She had no idea where to find him.

Rose felt truly powerless.

Ryan had always refused to address any issue between them directly.

Fortunately, she was still able to reassure Ariel.

It wasn’t as though a knife was hanging over her head.

However, Caleb noticed that something was off. He recognized the clothes and shoes in the photo because he had seen Rose wear them before.

Rose could only explain, “It was just an accident. It won’t affect my current relationship with him. I already have the divorce certificate. We’ve completely gone our separate ways.”

Caleb knew how hard Rose had been working to obtain the divorce papers.

After all, transferring Ariel’s custody required proof of divorce.

“That’s wonderful news. Officially getting divorced and reclaiming your freedom is worth celebrating.”

Without wasting a second, Caleb rushed out to order a cake.

Rose’s mood lightened.

Now she truly felt reborn.

With the divorce certificate in hand, all that remained was Trevor’s return so they could resolve Ariel’s situation. She no longer had to worry about Margaret threatening to withhold or revoke the divorce.

She had no more concerns.

Rose didn’t spend much time dwelling on the news.

The second phase of her project was about to begin, and there was one important matter she needed to handle.

She needed to visit Sky High to discuss future order volumes and pricing.

She also needed to discuss the optimization of several components in person, since no one understood the technical details better than she did.

Rose made an appointment with President Oscar at Sky High.

She was scheduled to arrive at three o’clock in the afternoon.

Sky High’s factory was considered an industry benchmark.

Rose planned to tour the facility again before the meeting so she could prepare for a more targeted discussion.

President Oscar seemed exceptionally easygoing, always wearing a smile. When he met Rose, he treated her warmly and showed no disrespect despite her relatively weak position within G.S.

He personally guided her through the large factory.

“I’ve heard a great deal about you, Miss Bennett. After meeting you today, I must say your knowledge of components is truly impressive.”

President Oscar genuinely seemed to appreciate Rose.

He was also very open to discussion.
