Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312: Chapter 312 A Thorn Between Them

Samantha hadn’t expected Ryan to support her so decisively.

Ever since he had rejected her earlier that day, uneasiness had lingered in the back of her mind.

She had wondered if something had changed.

She had wondered whether Ryan was beginning to distance himself from her.

But now...

Every one of those doubts seemed to disappear.

Ryan was standing beside her.

He hadn’t dismissed her accusations.

Nor had he asked her to let the matter go.

Instead, he had agreed to a full investigation.

That alone was enough to reassure her.

Her eyes reddened almost instantly.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at him, her voice trembling with emotion.

"Ryan..."

"If you weren’t here..."

"I don’t know how I would’ve faced all of this."

She lowered her head, clutching her bleeding arm.

"I almost died tonight."

"If Lucas hadn’t managed to stop that car..."

She shuddered at the memory.

"I would’ve been killed."

Ryan said nothing.

He simply stood beside her, his expression unreadable.

To Samantha, his silence felt like support.

But Rose Bennett understood something very different.

She looked at Ryan for several long moments.

The corners of her lips curled upward into a faint, bitter smile.

"So..."

"You really believe I would do something like this?"

Her voice wasn’t loud.

Yet everyone nearby heard it clearly.

Ryan met her gaze calmly.

His expression remained composed.

"I didn’t say that."

Rose let out a quiet laugh.

"No?"

She took one slow step toward him.

"Then why agree to let her accuse me of attempted murder without a single piece of evidence?"

Around them, the crowd had grown noticeably larger.

Several bystanders were openly filming.

Others whispered among themselves as they tried to understand what had happened.

Ryan’s eyes remained steady.

"If someone believes a crime has been committed..."

"They have the right to report it."

"The police can determine the facts."

His tone was measured.

Almost detached.

"There is nothing wrong with following the legal process."

Rose stared at him.

Technically...

He wasn’t wrong.

Anyone had the right to report a suspected crime.

But that wasn’t what hurt.

What hurt was that Ryan hadn’t questioned Samantha even once.

He hadn’t asked for evidence.

He hadn’t reminded her to stay rational.

Instead...

He had simply stood beside her.

As he always did.

Rose lowered her eyes briefly before looking back at him.

"I understand."

Her voice had become noticeably colder.

"If that’s your decision..."

"I have no objection."

She paused.

"But I won’t accept being treated like a criminal before the investigation has even begun."

Ryan gave a slight nod.

"Nor should you."

Those simple words somehow made Rose feel even more exhausted.

She laughed softly.

"You’re remarkably fair."

There wasn’t the slightest trace of warmth in her smile.

Silence settled between them.

Even Samantha sensed the subtle tension.

She instinctively moved closer to Ryan.

Her injured arm trembled violently from blood loss.

"Ryan..."

She whispered weakly.

"It hurts."

Only then did Ryan glance at her wound again.

Blood continued soaking through the handkerchief she had wrapped around it.

He frowned almost imperceptibly.

"You need medical treatment."

Before Samantha could respond—

Rose spoke first.
