Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The Old Doctor’s Unexpected Lesson

Rose couldn’t help but admire the old man’s way of thinking.

She quickly said, “The Knight family forbids me from revealing their true relationship. There are a lot of people in the company who might overhear, so please watch your language.”

Nathan snorted coldly.

“What do you mean by ‘true relationship’? She’s nothing but a mistress.”

Rose leaned in and nodded in agreement.

“If this were back in the day—”

“We’d have thrown her into a pig cage,” Nathan immediately finished, slamming his fist onto the table.

Caleb: “...”

Neither master nor disciple had particularly stable temperaments.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The door swung open.

Ryan looked up, his gaze briefly passing over Rose.

He didn’t linger on her.

When Samantha spotted Rose in the reception room, she instinctively frowned.

Then she slipped her arm through Ryan’s and, completely ignoring Rose, greeted Nathan with a faint smile.

“Hello, Dr. Hale. My name is Samantha Hill. It’s a privilege to finally meet you.”

Nathan lifted his herbal teacup and took a sip.

Glancing at Ryan, he said, “Mr. Knight, it’s been a long time.”

He paid Samantha no attention whatsoever.

Samantha’s expression froze.

Ryan’s eyes remained calm as he offered a faint smile and nodded.

“It’s been three years since we last met. When my grandfather was gravely ill, you came out of retirement to save his life. He often speaks of you and remains deeply grateful.”

At that, Nathan couldn’t help glancing at Rose.

Back then, he had been vacationing overseas.

Had Rose not personally begged him, he never would have agreed to see the late Chairman Knight.

Yet Rose had never taken credit for it.

She stubbornly refused to tell the Knight family that she had been the one who invited him.

The Knight family owed Rose a tremendous favor.

And they didn’t even realize it.

Rose immediately understood the look Nathan gave her.

It clearly meant: Look at the family you’ve devoted yourself to.

She wisely kept her mouth shut.

“Really? Dr. Hale and the Knight family have such a close relationship.”

Samantha sounded genuinely surprised.

Nathan glanced at Samantha before turning to Ryan.

“I seem to recall Chairman Knight mentioning that you’re married, Mr. Knight. Who is this young lady?”

It was a remarkably sharp question.

Rose remained silent.

Samantha didn’t understand why he would ask such a thing.

Since Nathan knew Ryan was married—and she had just entered arm-in-arm with him—was there really any need to clarify her identity?

Especially in front of Rose.

If the truth were exposed here, wouldn’t Rose find it amusing?

Although Samantha didn’t understand why Caleb had brought Rose into G.S., Rose held little importance in her eyes.

Turning to Caleb, she said, “Mr. Byrne, could you please ask unrelated personnel to step outside? We have important matters to discuss.”

Caleb, who had been thoroughly enjoying the show, raised an eyebrow.

“Who exactly?”

Samantha glanced at Rose.

“Your employee. She really lacks tact.”

Did Rose truly belong in a gathering like this?

And yet she had stayed here the entire time.

Rose pointed at herself.

Me?

Should I leave?

“Mr. Knight must spoil Miss Hill quite a bit,” Caleb remarked dryly. “She’s already issuing orders in my company.”

Anyone with eyes could see that Samantha’s arrogance came entirely from Ryan’s unconditional indulgence.

It had fostered a self-righteous confidence that bordered on absurdity.

She didn’t even bother hiding her contempt when facing the legal wife.

Ryan understood the implication behind Caleb’s words.

Slowly turning toward Nathan, he said, “Dr. Hale, Samantha studied medicine and previously participated in chronic disease drug research in China. She’s come here to further develop her skills. Would you be willing to review some of her work?”

A faint smile curved Samantha’s lips.

It was actually convenient that Rose was present.

Let her witness the gap between them.

Maybe then she’d finally understand her own inadequacy.

Stepping forward, Samantha spoke earnestly.

“It was your work that inspired me to study medicine in the first place. I’ve come here today hoping you’ll agree to mentor me.”

Rose looked over in surprise.
