Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 330

Chapter 330: Chapter 330 Chairman Knight’s First Impression

Rose almost laughed out loud.

Samantha’s confidence was astonishing.

The smugness in her expression was no longer something she even tried to hide.

Every word dripped with triumph.

Apparently deciding Rose still hadn’t fully understood, Samantha added, "Ryan and I are getting married."

"I’ll be the next Mrs. Knight."

She smiled sweetly.

"If you don’t want everyone here talking about you tonight, you should save yourself the embarrassment."

"Tell them your marriage ended a long time ago."

"Tell them Ryan and I are together."

Rose looked at her for a long moment before the corners of her mouth lifted.

"Congratulations."

"You finally graduated from being a mistress to being the official mistress."

Samantha’s smile stiffened.

Rose’s language was always so crude.

So uncivilized.

She hated it.

More than that...

She hated that none of her carefully prepared words had accomplished what she’d hoped.

Rose wasn’t crying.

Wasn’t arguing.

Wasn’t begging.

It felt like throwing punches into empty air.

Still, Samantha wasn’t interested in finding out whether Rose was secretly heartbroken.

It didn’t matter.

Ryan had chosen her.

Rose had already lost.

She smiled graciously.

"I’m glad you’re taking this so well."

"I know it’s difficult to stay composed in front of so many people."

"I understand."

She gently rested a hand over her stomach.

"I just hope you’ll sincerely wish Ryan and me happiness."

"Our family is finally beginning."

She smiled even more brightly.

"Our child will probably call you Aunt Rose someday."

Without waiting for a response, Samantha turned and walked away.

Elegant.

Satisfied.

As though she’d already won.

Rose watched her leave.

For a moment...

She genuinely wondered whether some people were simply born without shame.

Still...

One thought lingered.

If Edward Knight had personally invited Samantha tonight...

Then perhaps Samantha wasn’t entirely bluffing.

The Knight family had always placed enormous importance on carrying on the family name.

Now Samantha was pregnant.

That child alone might be enough to secure her place.

Did Edward really intend to accept her?

"Rose?"

A familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

Someone lightly tapped her shoulder.

Rose turned.

A warm smile instantly spread across her face.

"Rowan."

Standing behind her was a tall young man with an easy smile that made people instinctively relax.

There was something effortlessly approachable about him.

Like the first warm day after a New York winter.

"It’s been forever."

Rowan looked her over carefully before shaking his head.

"You’ve gotten so thin."

"You even lost the round cheeks you used to have."

He grinned.

"Did you miss me?"

Rose laughed.

"Of course."

"We haven’t seen each other in years."

His smile widened.

He studied her for another second before opening his arms and giving her a gentle hug.

It was brief.

Comforting.

The kind of hug only an old friend could give.

"You barely hugged me back."

He patted her shoulder before stepping away.

Rose smiled.

"So..."

"How long are you staying?"

"And how have things been in London?"

Rowan shrugged.

"I’ll probably stay in New York for a while."

"My grandfather’s back too."

"We’re not leaving anytime soon."

The mention of Edward Knight instantly made Rose’s head ache.

Only minutes ago she’d almost escaped the banquet.

Now...

There was clearly no chance of slipping away.

Rowan hesitated.

Then lowered his voice.

"Is something going on..."

"...between you and my brother?"

He asked as gently as he could.

Rose understood immediately.
