Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 256 The Marriage Agreement

Ariel sensed Rose’s emotional turmoil and quickly sat up, gently wiping away the tears at the corner of Rose’s eyes with her tiny hand.

Putting on a brave face, she patted her little chest and said, "I’ll give you a hug."

Rose couldn’t help but laugh.

Even though it made her heart ache.

She wished Ariel could simply be a carefree little girl her own age—untouched by the burdens of the adult world and never forced to grow up too soon.

Still, Rose couldn’t help thinking that perhaps Ariel had inherited Ryan’s personality. That quiet maturity seemed almost innate.

As for Ariel’s question—"Is it because Daddy I have never met?"—Rose couldn’t answer it.

Ariel had always believed her biological father was no longer alive.

Pulling her daughter into her arms, Rose whispered, "It’s not because of him anymore."

After seven years of struggling alone, she had already given that relationship everything she possibly could.

Ariel nodded, only half understanding.

For once, Rose stayed by her side, telling her a bedtime story until she drifted back to sleep.

As for everything that had happened that night—

Whether it was flipping over the banquet table and causing a scene at the Knight family’s cocktail party...

Or deciding to marry Trevor...

She wouldn’t regret any of it.

Even if the Knight family sought revenge for publicly defying them, she would accept the consequences without hesitation.

As long as the marriage went through and Ariel’s future was secured, she was prepared to fight the Knight family to the very end.

The next morning, Rose woke to several text messages from Trevor.

Trevor: [I’m flying to London today. I’ll get the paperwork taken care of as quickly as possible. Leave the certificate proving you’re free to marry to me.]

Rose knew he was referring to obtaining the necessary legal documents.

Trevor had always been reliable. Once he said he would handle something, she never had to worry about it.

She scrolled down to the next message.

Trevor: [You can start looking at different wedding styles, venues, or even countries. If you find something you like, let me know anytime. You’ve never planned a wedding before, but every woman has some dream about her special day.]

Rose honestly had no idea what she wanted.

She had never imagined having a wedding at all.

To her, this was simply a marriage of convenience, nothing more.

Yet now that they were actually planning a wedding, she found herself unconsciously taking it seriously.

The realization left her strangely unsettled.

Rose decided to stop dwelling on it.

What she needed to prepare now was a prenuptial agreement that would fully protect Trevor’s interests.

Once Ariel’s custody issue was resolved, they would divorce peacefully, with no disputes over property or finances.

She contacted an attorney to draft the agreement.

After carefully reviewing the document, she sent the draft to Trevor.

Rose: [Feel free to add or revise anything you’re not satisfied with.]

That evening, Trevor replied.

Trevor: [Rose, you really don’t know how to protect your own interests.]

Rose: [ ?]

Trevor: [Apparently, all my money is nothing more than worthless paper in your eyes. It doesn’t tempt you in the slightest.]

Rose smiled.

She knew he was joking.

She also knew the agreement was comprehensive enough to fully protect Trevor’s assets.

*****

The following day, Rose headed to NYU.

She hadn’t printed the prenuptial agreement yet, planning instead to do it once she arrived on campus.

The weekly inter-university research meeting was being held in NYU’s laboratory building.

As soon as Rose entered the conference room, she saw Ryan already seated in the front row.

Sitting beside him was Samantha, who had naturally taken a front-row seat now that her status had risen alongside his.

Rose wasn’t surprised.

Ryan was the lead investor in the neuropharmaceutical research project, so his attendance was expected.

The moment Samantha noticed Rose, her expression turned cold.

Ever since Rose had exposed the truth at the Knight family’s cocktail party, rumors had spread everywhere.

People had been openly and privately asking about Samantha’s relationship with Ryan.

The gossip had become increasingly vicious.

To Samantha, it was humiliating.

Rose had done it deliberately.

The Knight family valued reputation above everything else.
