Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Chapter 226 The Role Reversal

Samantha wasn’t nervous in this kind of setting. The other candidates who entered with her were all on high alert, but she merely wore a faint smile.

After receiving her number, she went inside.

She looked around.

She had assumed Rose would be in the waiting room.

But as she scanned the room, she saw no sign of Rose.

This made her feel slightly suspicious.

After all, they had just seen Rose come this way with their own eyes.

But then she thought about it.

Given Rose’s temperament, it wasn’t impossible that she had chickened out at the last minute.

When people are extremely angry, they often make impulsive decisions, such as competing directly with her.

And the interview scores would be publicly displayed.

It was understandable that Rose wouldn’t want to be outperformed by her.

At that thought, Samantha simply smiled indifferently and let it go.

Although she had previously thought Rose’s underhanded move—applying for Dean Byrne’s student quota behind their backs—was rather petty, she no longer cared to argue with her.

Each interview session lasted about half an hour.

When it was Samantha’s turn, she stood up.

Having already familiarized herself with the procedures, and with her strong mental composure, she calmly pushed open the door and walked in.

However, Samantha’s expression froze the moment she saw the people inside.

Her gaze landed on Rose, who was standing by the window, rubbing her neck.

She blurted out in surprise, “What are you doing here?”

Rose had been sitting for over two hours, her body stiff from remaining in one position. Turning to look at Samantha, she replied calmly, “Why shouldn’t I be here?”

Samantha frowned instantly and turned to the other professors and advisors.

“Shouldn’t the interviews be conducted one candidate at a time? I’d prefer this process to remain objective and fair. Could you please ask Rose to step outside first?”

She knew very well that she was superior to Rose in terms of qualifications.

But this was also a matter of pride.

She would not allow Rose to interfere with her interview.

Samantha’s words caused the professors, who had been reviewing the previous candidates’ evaluations, to look up one after another.

Even Rose rubbed her temples helplessly.

“Ask me to leave?”

Samantha remained composed, speaking with calm elegance.

“If she’s unwilling, I can wait for the next session.”

Professor Bill, who had previously met Samantha through Ryan’s introduction, looked at her in confusion.

Then he turned toward Rose and explained, “This is your interviewer, Professor Rose Bennett—not a student.”

Samantha’s back stiffened.

Shock spread across her face.

For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard.

But then she watched Rose walk directly to the table and take a seat beside Professor Bill.

Meeting Samantha’s gaze, Rose said calmly, “Please begin.”

As Samantha stared at Rose sitting in the interviewer’s chair, looking at her with cold, piercing eyes as if passing judgment, her heart pounded violently.

The blood drained from her face.

Shock, confusion, disbelief, and an inexplicable sense of panic overwhelmed her, leaving her mind in complete chaos.

Why?

How could Rose be a professor?

How could this possibly be true?

“Samantha Hill?” Professor Bill noticed her standing motionless, her face pale, and called out to her.

Samantha snapped back to reality.

Too many questions weighed heavily on her mind.

Although she couldn’t understand how Rose had become a professor at NYU, at this critical moment, she had no choice but to force herself to remain composed.

She clenched her fingers and stepped forward.

She cast Rose a glance that was both resentful and unreadable.

Rose pretended not to notice.

Samantha’s self-introduction went relatively smoothly.

When it came to the PowerPoint presentation, Rose reviewed Samantha’s résumé and the projects she had listed.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her lips.

Samantha’s résumé included participation in G.S.’s cardiovascular drug development project, the establishment of an independent smart medical technology research team, and involvement in the surgical robot project for tumor treatment.

Rose almost laughed.
