Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279 A Familiar Token

Grace made her way through the crowd and walked straight over to Rose, her eyes sparkling with energy.

“Rose, I knew it would be hard to get you to come find me, so I had to come find you first.”

That was exactly why she liked Rose.

She knew her place and respected boundaries. Even though Rose understood that Grace could use her influence to help her accomplish many things, she had never once asked.

That kind of character was truly rare.

Rose immediately smiled brightly. “I just saw how busy you were.”

Grace pretended to be annoyed. “We were only chatting. That hardly counts as being busy.”

As she spoke, Grace turned to Trevor. “Mr. Robinson.”

Trevor nodded politely. “Dr. Grace. It’s been a long time.”

A strange look flashed across Grace’s face. “You and Rose...”

She had only recently learned about Rose’s marriage to Ryan, and Trevor had made no secret of his feelings for Rose long ago.

She was finding it difficult to sort out the complicated relationships between them.

“We’re planning to get married,” Trevor said frankly.

Grace paused in surprise.

She immediately turned to Rose for confirmation. “Then what about you and the Knight family...?”

Rose leaned closer and whispered softly into the elderly woman’s ear. “We’re divorced.”

Grace immediately squeezed Rose’s hand.

“You did the right thing. A marriage without love can never last.”

But soon afterward, a trace of indescribable sadness crossed her face.

Her shoulders seemed to sag ever so slightly.

Back then, she had stubbornly insisted on maintaining Trevor’s engagement.

On the surface, she had appeared selfish, refusing to let Trevor marry anyone else while insisting he wait for her granddaughter.

But the truth was that she had been clinging to hope.

As long as the engagement remained, there was always a greater chance that her granddaughter might one day return and marry him.

But eventually, Grace had come to another realization.

What if her granddaughter had already settled down somewhere else?

What if she already had a happy family of her own?

Or perhaps she had long since...

Grace couldn’t help but sigh.

Rose understood exactly who she was thinking about.

Her heart tightened.

Stepping forward, she gently embraced the elderly woman. “We’ll find her.”

Grace finally smiled. “It’s alright. Don’t let my gloomy mood affect you.”

Their warm interaction caught the attention of many guests.

Including Daisy and Samantha.

The moment Samantha noticed them, she walked over to Daisy. “Mom?”

She glanced coldly toward Rose. “Dr. Grace seems to think very highly of Rose.”

Daisy’s expression darkened.

She let out a scornful snort. “Rose certainly knows what she’s doing. She’s learned how to curry favor without making it obvious. I bet she’s counting on winning Dr. Grace’s support so she can keep climbing higher.”

“Then what about us...?” Samantha asked quietly, pressing her lips together.

Daisy immediately grabbed Samantha’s hand. “Rose’s glory won’t last long. One day, she won’t even be worthy of tying your shoes.”

With that, she led Samantha straight toward them.

Watching the scene unfold, James frowned slightly.

He truly didn’t want Samantha approaching his grandmother right now.

After everything that had happened—the university’s disciplinary action and Rose’s accusations—the only people in the industry capable of preventing Samantha from being completely ostracized were individuals like Dr. Nathan and his grandmother.

Without saying a word, James set down his wineglass and hurried after them.

He wanted to stop them.

Ryan, however, merely glanced casually in their direction.

A subtle, unreadable emotion flickered across his eyes.

Oliver had already guessed what James intended.

He quietly asked, “Ryan, if Samantha accidentally says the wrong thing and offends Dr. Grace, that won’t end well.”

“Mmm.”

Ryan simply turned and walked over with unhurried strides.

Meanwhile, Alicia had also arrived.
