Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Chapter 270 The Trap That Backfired

Rose had no intention of discussing the matter with Ryan.

She calmly looked away.

Grace had already walked over and cast a cold, stern glance at Samantha. “Whether it’s the issue of Rose’s thesis being tampered with or the plagiarism in your paper, both must be taken seriously, Samantha. You’ll need to cooperate with the investigation shortly.”

Samantha felt a chill spread through her limbs.

An uncertain panic began to take hold.

Nothing was going the way she had expected. In fact, she had walked herself to the edge of a cliff, with no way forward and no way back.

She clenched her fists.

Refusing to appear overly flustered, she suppressed her anxiety and nodded.

As Grace was about to leave, she looked at Rose again, her eyes filled with admiration. After studying her for a moment, she patted Rose on the shoulder. “Dr. Nathan is truly fortunate. Rose, if you don’t mind, feel free to come talk with me sometime about your research on neurological disorders.”

Samantha looked at Grace in surprise.

Although she called it a “chat,” wasn’t it really an expression of appreciation and an offer of mentorship?

Rose immediately nodded, feeling both honored and slightly overwhelmed. “Of course. It would be my pleasure.”

Grace had to leave first.

Samantha’s matter required immediate attention. Higher authorities had already become involved, and the situation was being treated with the utmost seriousness.

As soon as Grace left, Rose had no desire to remain any longer. She continued to ignore Ryan standing beside her and walked away without looking back.

She had no intention of discussing personal matters with him there.

Especially anything concerning the fact that she had given birth to a child with Trevor during her marriage.

Ryan’s dark, penetrating eyes followed Rose as she deliberately avoided him. Although his face remained expressionless, there was a clear undercurrent of turmoil beneath the surface.

Samantha took a deep breath. “I’m sorry, Ryan. Something unexpected came up. We may not be able to make it to the show...”

This was the issue that made her feel as if she might vomit blood.

Not only had she been exposed for plagiarizing her thesis in front of top officials, but she had also lost the perfect opportunity to publicly confirm her relationship with Ryan on national television.

“It’s fine,” Ryan said slowly, finally looking away from Rose. “Go answer their questions first. Just cooperate with the investigation for now.”

Hearing his response, Samantha immediately felt reassured.

As she walked down the stairs through the crowded hallway, she found an excuse to go to the restroom so she could call the production team, Logan, and Daisy first.

They needed to coordinate with the production team and come up with a reasonable explanation to avoid causing further trouble.

“You can’t make it? What happened?” Logan demanded as soon as he answered, deliberately moving into an empty room.

Leaning against the sink, Samantha looked pale, and her tone grew noticeably sharper. “Rose caught me off guard. I have to undergo an investigation, so the schedule conflicts with the show.”

“Didn’t you have a plan to stop Rose from interfering with you? Weren’t you going to create a conflict between her and that person? Didn’t it work?” Logan’s voice turned serious.

Samantha’s eyes suddenly filled with tears, and her voice rose. “Rose has been playing everyone! She deliberately misled me! She never revealed that she was the person I was targeting, so I mistakenly believed she would have a major conflict with that other person. That’s why I used it to escalate everything—but she was actually...”

She had put everything into this.

Logan was stunned.

His daughter had actually gone up against the famous Aster?

Daisy, standing nearby, overheard and asked in disbelief, “Then what are you going to do now?”

Samantha clenched her fists tighter. “There’s a problem with my thesis. They’re accusing me of plagiarizing Aster, and I’m being investigated. The accusations against Rose collapsed, but not only did NYU refuse to revoke her professorship—they practically blacklisted me in front of all those high-ranking officials...”

She felt completely lost.
