Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Chapter 274 The Battle Between Two Men

Hearing that voice, Rose snapped out of her daze and abruptly turned around.

From a distance, she saw Trevor striding toward them. His usually calm expression was now unusually cold and solemn.

Ryan’s expression remained impassive as he glanced to the side.

His gaze met Trevor’s as the latter approached.

He slowly straightened up, his dark eyes revealing nothing.

“Mr. Robinson.”

Trevor first looked Rose over, making sure she was unharmed.

Only then did he shift his gaze to Ryan’s hand wrapped around her elbow.

“Rose doesn’t like this. I’d appreciate it if Mr. Knight would respect her wishes.”

His tone wasn’t harsh, but it was far from polite.

The unspoken tension between the two men was unmistakable.

Ryan merely looked at him coldly.

Without warning, the corner of his lips lifted slightly.

Seizing the opportunity, Rose immediately shook off Ryan’s grip without hesitation.

She pressed her lips together and took a quiet breath.

“Did you come to see me?”

“Yes. I just got off the plane.”

Only then did Trevor look at her.

“I still have something to take care of. If it’s convenient, could you wait for me?”

Rose knew that since Trevor had come straight to NYU from the airport, he was most likely here to see her.

Or perhaps it had something to do with the certificate of single status they planned to apply for.

Their conversation was natural and relaxed.

Ryan simply leaned casually against the car door.

Lowering his gaze, he took out his lighter, absentmindedly flicking it open and shut as small blue flames danced in the sunlight.

“That’s fine,” Trevor replied.

Then he turned to Ryan, who had remained silent all this time.

“If you have a moment, Mr. Knight, perhaps we could talk.”

“I might be able to give you the answers you’re looking for.”

For a brief moment, Rose sensed a faint hint of provocation in his words.

Perhaps...

It was only her imagination.

After all, Trevor had always been known for his calm and steady temperament.

Ryan remained equally indifferent, silently waiting for him to continue.

Trevor spoke evenly. “It seems Mr. Knight wants an explanation regarding the child.”

“I can give you that explanation.”

He raised his eyes. “Just assume I was the one who seduced Rose.”

“Assume I was the one who made the mistake.”

“Assume I pursued her relentlessly until things reached this point.”

“After all, Mr. Knight, you were the one who neglected a young woman first, weren’t you?”

Rose pressed her lips together.

She hadn’t expected Trevor to shoulder all the blame so effortlessly.

All of it...

Just to help preserve her dignity.

Ryan stared at Trevor with an unreadable expression, offering no reply.

Yet his gaze was as sharp as ever.

Trevor continued calmly, “Ariel is my daughter.”

“Rose was simply too soft-hearted back then. She refused my suggestion to divorce you and be with me.”

“As it turns out, showing mercy to the wrong person isn’t worth it.”

“She wasted so many years of her youth.”

“What do you think, Mr. Knight?”

Listening to his words, Rose felt a chill run through her.

Trevor knew exactly how to avoid the crucial details while delivering the most convincing explanation.

“That’s why I raised the child myself.”

Trevor met Ryan’s eyes. “Perhaps you’ve forgotten, Mr. Knight.”

“I am Trevor Robinson.”

“If Ariel weren’t my own flesh and blood, why would I willingly raise another man’s child?”

With those words, he effectively sealed the matter.

At the same time, the hostility between the two men reached its peak.

Rose understood exactly what Trevor was doing.

He was pushing the story to its absolute limit to convince Ryan that Ariel had nothing to do with him.

Ryan remained expressionless.

Only his dark, penetrating eyes revealed the storm beneath the surface.

He snapped the lighter shut with a flick of his thumb and let out a faint, mocking laugh.

“Mr. Robinson certainly has a talent for making something that belongs in the shadows sound perfectly respectable.”

“But what makes you believe I’m someone who can simply be treated this way?”

Rose understood exactly what Ryan meant.
