Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Chapter 237 A Mistress Under the Spotlight

Samantha’s voice carried clearly through the quiet hallway, reaching Rose’s ears without obstruction.

Rose paused briefly while drying her hands.

Surprisingly, she felt very little shock.

After all, this was the most practical solution.

If Ryan agreed to marry Samantha, what could Ethan possibly do?

The only obstacle Ryan would face would be persuading the elders of the Knight family to accept the marriage.

Outside, Samantha’s cheerful voice continued.

“Ryan also asked me to look for an interior designer I like. The house will need to be redecorated according to my preferences.”

Rose tossed the paper towel into the trash and walked out as though the conversation had nothing to do with her.

Samantha turned toward her.

Her expression barely changed when she saw Rose.

After ending the call, she tilted her head slightly and said to the woman who was about to walk past her, “Ryan plans to stand up to the Knight family for me.”

Rose had no choice but to stop.

Looking at Samantha quietly, she said, “Congratulations.”

With that, she walked past her and left.

Rose knew exactly what kind of reaction she had hoped to see.

Jealousy. Anger. Sarcasm.

But none of that came.

Rose had no intention of wasting her time or emotions on something that no longer concerned her.

Samantha frowned as she watched Rose walk away.

She looked dissatisfied.

Rose’s reaction was completely different from what she had expected.

She was far too calm.

It almost felt as if she genuinely didn’t care.

When Rose returned to the private room, she deliberately took a longer route to avoid passing by Ryan.

She had barely taken her seat when Samantha returned.

This time, however, things were different.

The moment Samantha entered, someone greeted her with a smile.

Conversation topics were immediately directed toward her.

Several members of the visiting research teams began speaking with her one after another.

It was a stark contrast to the cold treatment she had received earlier.

Because of Ryan’s arrival—and because he had chosen without hesitation to sit beside Samantha—everyone had begun reassessing her importance.

Samantha was naturally pleased.

She responded with gentle smiles.

Occasionally, she even glanced toward Rose, who sat quietly sipping her tea.

Amid the laughter and conversation, Samantha had once again become the center of attention.

Rose paid no attention to any of it.

She knew better than anyone whose influence had brought Samantha this sudden popularity.

Throughout the entire meal, she never once made eye contact with Ryan.

Ryan chatted casually with those around him about industry trends and current policies, occasionally listening to Samantha’s soft remarks.

Meanwhile, Rose remained within her own small circle, behaving as though he were nothing more than a stranger.

Their confrontation several days earlier over the child had ended badly.

Rose knew that keeping her distance from Ryan was the safest choice.

The private room door opened once more.

As Grace entered, everyone immediately stood to greet her.

The visiting researchers looked at her with admiration and surprise.

Grace had come on a whim.

Without caring for formalities, she waved her hand casually.

“Please sit down. No need to stand.”

As she spoke, she walked directly to the empty seat beside Rose.

“I’ll sit here.”

Naturally, Rose had no objections.

“Are you feeling better?”

Grace smiled warmly. Sitting down, she patted Rose’s shoulder.

“I’m fine. I just need to stop acting like an overworked young person.”

Rose chuckled softly.

As the two women began chatting comfortably, Samantha’s smile stiffened.

Grace’s deliberate choice to sit beside Rose immediately shifted everyone’s attention in that direction.

Suddenly, Rose became the focus of the room once again.

She and Grace naturally became the center of attention.
