Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Chapter 284 The Family Meeting

Rose was momentarily taken aback.

She hadn’t expected to be drawn into the affairs of the two families.

"Me?"

Dr. Grace nodded. "This is an important matter for both families. You were once married to Mr. Knight, and now you’re considering a future with Trevor. The relationships involved have become rather complicated, and people are bound to speculate. Your presence will allow this engagement to end naturally and in an orderly manner."

Things had already reached this point.

They couldn’t afford to wait for Samantha’s identity to be confirmed. The rumors were spreading like wildfire, and public speculation would only grow more intense. Since the engagement was destined to end anyway, it was better to settle the matter sooner rather than later.

Rose felt somewhat awkward, but she knew there was no avoiding it.

She had already become a piece on the chessboard.

The only choice left was to play her part.

She nodded. "If you need me there, I’ll come."

If nothing else, it was for Ariel’s sake.

The sooner Trevor’s engagement to the Taylor family was officially dissolved, the sooner she and Trevor could marry without unnecessary complications.

After writing Dr. Grace’s prescription, Rose stood quietly for a moment before leaving.

As she walked outside, she pinched the bridge of her nose.

The entire situation felt absurd.

Just then, her phone rang.

It was Diana.

"What’s going on with Samantha?" Diana asked the moment the call connected. "I’ve been hearing all kinds of rumors. How did she suddenly become connected to the Taylor family—and end up as my brother’s fiancée?"

Rose climbed into her car and sighed. "Doesn’t it all seem a little too coincidental?"

Diana snorted. "Coincidence? I don’t buy it."

"A woman like Daisy isn’t exactly known for being loyal or honorable. If she’d really been raising the Taylor family’s daughter all these years, she could’ve returned the child long ago and earned the Taylor family’s lifelong gratitude. Why didn’t she?"

Diana had overheard people discussing the situation.

Many were praising Daisy, claiming she had secretly protected and raised the Taylor family’s missing daughter out of loyalty and compassion because of her close friendship with Mrs. Taylor.

Just imagining Daisy being described that way made Diana shudder.

Rose agreed.

Neither the Robinson family nor the Taylor family truly knew Daisy.

But Rose did.

She knew exactly what kind of woman Daisy really was.

Back then, Daisy had manipulated Logan into abandoning ten-year-old Rose to fend for herself.

All so she could secure her own position as Mrs. Hill and ensure Samantha received everything.

Now...

Somehow Daisy had become the devoted, selfless heroine of the story.

Rose couldn’t help finding it ironic.

"But Daisy really does know the Taylor family well," she said thoughtfully. "She must have spent a considerable amount of time with them. She even knows details about Mrs. Taylor’s life. Still, the Taylor family isn’t rushing to acknowledge Samantha. They’re insisting on a DNA test."

At least in that regard, they were handling the matter rationally.

Diana paused before saying, "Could Daisy be impersonating the missing daughter by taking advantage of everything she learned back then? Samantha’s reputation has taken such a hit recently."

Rose couldn’t say for certain.

But Daisy had agreed to the DNA test without the slightest hesitation.

She seemed unusually confident.

A thought suddenly crossed Rose’s mind.

"Do you know how Mrs. Taylor died?"

Diana thought for a moment. "I only know bits and pieces because of the Robinson family’s connection to the Taylors."

"I heard she suffered from bipolar disorder. Mr. Taylor fell in love with another woman. Not long after Mrs. Taylor left the family, she drove her car into a lake."

"They said she took her own life after being completely heartbroken."

"As for the Taylor family’s daughter... no one ever found her."

Rose fell silent.

Diana continued, "I also heard that the woman Mr. Taylor had an affair with was someone Mrs. Taylor had personally sponsored for years."

"She paid for her education, helped her find work, and even arranged a position for her at the company."

"In the end..."

"That woman slept with her husband."

The more Diana spoke, the angrier she became.

Her voice was practically trembling with indignation.

Rose hadn’t expected the truth to be so tragic.

Another woman destroyed by love.

Destroyed by marriage.

She couldn’t help feeling a deep sense of sorrow.

James’s father had turned out to be just as heartless and unfaithful.

Only now did Rose finally understand what Diana had once mentioned.

That was why Dr. Grace had severed ties with Derick for so many years and refused to acknowledge him as her son.

The Taylor family wasn’t nearly as harmonious as outsiders believed.

Rose frowned deeply.

"People who betray genuine love rarely find a happy ending."

She truly despised the selfishness that drove so many men to betray the people who loved them.

Monday morning.
