Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 231 The Moment Ryan Learned the Truth

Appearing publicly as Trevor’s girlfriend—wasn’t this bound to cause an uproar?

So many people now knew about Rose’s connection to the Knight family, and Ryan was clearly present tonight. Wasn’t this behavior completely inappropriate?

Ryan watched them silently. His expression remained stern as his lips moved slightly.

“It doesn’t matter what she does.”

His utterly indifferent attitude eased Samantha’s expression, and she even smiled.

After all, Ryan practically had none of my business written across his face.

No matter what Rose did, it was all pointless.

“But with Rose acting like this, isn’t she basically telling everyone that she’s standing with the Robinson family now? What about the Knight family?” Oliver was completely baffled.

Was Rose taking things too far?

Wasn’t she worried that such a public display would make the Knight family abandon her completely?

“Or maybe she’s doing this on purpose,” Oliver continued. “Using her title as an NYU professor to win Ryan back and deliberately provoke the Knight family?”

Samantha pursed her lips and glanced at Rose, who was currently the center of attention.

“Regardless of how she became a professor, if she can’t prove her abilities over time and earn people’s trust, the truth will eventually come out.”

In other words—

Today appeared grand and glorious.

Many people had come specifically to meet Rose.

But if her abilities failed to live up to expectations, all of this would prove to be nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

It would shatter instantly.

“Regardless of Professor Rose’s abilities, Trevor brought her here personally today and convinced the Robinson family to host this celebration,” James interrupted Samantha. “He’s clearly sending a message.”

“He intends to marry Rose.”

Even if Professor Rose’s reputation eventually faded, once she had the Robinson family’s support, she would still remain in the spotlight.

Samantha’s expression darkened slightly.

She didn’t like James’s words.

It sounded as if Rose would always stand above everyone else.

The key point was that Rose had already secured another powerful family.

Meanwhile, Samantha still hadn’t secured her place within the Knight family.

“So today is basically meeting the parents?” Oliver said. “Rose hasn’t even completely cut ties with Ryan yet. Isn’t she moving a little too fast?”

As he spoke, he turned toward Ryan, who had remained silent.

“Ryan, I don’t think you should let Rose do whatever she wants. Shouldn’t you stop her from making such a public display with Mr. Robinson tonight?”

Ryan glanced at him indifferently.

Before he could answer, Owen arrived, interrupting the conversation.

Samantha shot Oliver a displeased look.

If Ryan really stepped in to stop Rose, where would that leave her?

Ryan turned toward Owen. “Something wrong at the company?”

Owen nodded. “I tried calling you earlier but couldn’t get through. There’s an urgent international conference in two hours, so you’ll need to adjust your schedule.”

Ryan nodded slightly. “Understood.”

Owen took another phone from his pocket. “And this was mailed back from Los Angeles.”

Ryan looked at it.

He remembered.

A few months earlier, during a business trip, Rose had fallen into a swimming pool.

He had pulled her out and discovered that her phone had fallen into the water as well. Concerned that it might contain important work documents or personal files, he had asked Owen to send it for repair.

At the time, the phone had been completely water-damaged.

Later—

After they returned to New York, Rose changed her phone number.

He had remembered the phone for a while, but after she changed her number, he saw no reason to continue worrying about it.

Unexpectedly, after all this time, it had finally been returned.

He examined the phone.

It had been repaired perfectly.

“Is it fixed?”

Owen nodded. “Yes. But the damage was severe. The technicians said much of the data may have been lost.”

Ryan turned the phone over in his hand.

If the data was gone, the phone would be useless to Rose anyway.

Suddenly, gasps erupted nearby.

Ryan looked up.

The banquet was about to begin.

Trevor and Rose had already approached Julia.

Julia appeared genuinely delighted to see Rose.

She held Rose’s hand and gently patted it, openly showing her affection.

Rose felt slightly uncomfortable.

She had never interacted with Trevor’s mother before.

Julia didn’t know that Rose was Ariel’s biological mother, yet Rose still felt strangely uneasy beneath her warm smile.

“Trevor is far too secretive,” Julia said. “He never tells me anything. But I’ve heard quite a bit about you, Rose. I really like you.”

She made no effort to hide her affection.

She knew perfectly well that Rose had been married to Ryan.

At the same time, she had heard plenty about Samantha, the woman constantly by Mr. Knight’s side.

How could she not understand the situation?
