Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Chapter 353 The Edge of the Fifth Floor

Ryan didn’t care what Trevor was thinking.

Right now, there was only one thing that mattered.

Finding Rose and Ariel.

He pointed toward the faint trail of frosting on the floor.

“It came from Rose.”

Trevor’s expression tightened.

“She had cake frosting on her clothes. If it left a mark here, something happened that caused her to be dragged.”

The hotel’s cleanliness standards were among the best in the city.

There was no reason something like this should appear on the floor.

The only people who had touched the cake were Rose, Ariel, and the children.

The children were still gathered in the ballroom.

No one had come this way.

Ryan’s eyes narrowed.

Trevor immediately understood.

“The person who took them wasn’t carrying them.”

“If they were strong enough to move Rose without leaving any trace, there wouldn’t be a trail.”

“But this...”

His gaze followed the cream marks.

“They acted alone.”

“And they’re not physically strong.”

Ryan’s expression darkened.

The answer appeared almost instantly.

“Samantha.”

Trevor’s eyes sharpened.

“She got inside?”

Ryan didn’t answer.

There was no time to investigate how she had entered.

The Robinson family event had been announced publicly.

The date.

The location.

The guest list.

Everything had been impossible to keep completely secret.

That was why he had already arranged security around the entire resort.

But clearly...

Something had gone wrong.

Ryan lifted his eyes toward the upper floors.

“I had people stationed outside every exit.”

“If Samantha is trying to escape, she won’t be able to leave.”

His voice turned colder.

“So she must still be inside.”

Trevor immediately called the hotel manager.

“Pull up all surveillance footage.”

“Find her location.”

“Also, increase security immediately. Keep the guests calm. No one leaves, and no information gets out.”

Before he could finish—

Both men’s phones rang at the exact same time.

They looked down.

A message.

From Samantha.

******

Meanwhile...

After retrieving her phone from the car, Victoria walked back toward the ballroom.

She glanced down while typing a message.

A few seconds later...

She realized something was wrong.

This wasn’t the way back.

She had taken a wrong turn.

Victoria frowned and prepared to turn around.

Then—

She froze.

Someone was lying ahead.

A familiar figure.

Her heart dropped.

"Rose?"

Rose was collapsed against the wall.

Unconscious.

Her face was pale.

Nearby...

Ariel was on the floor.

Her hands and feet were tied.

Her mouth covered with tape.

Tears filled her eyes as she struggled toward her mother.

The sight made Victoria’s blood run cold.

She opened her mouth.

But before she could say anything—

A shadow appeared in front of her.

Samantha.

Victoria barely had time to react.

A thin needle pierced the side of her neck.

Pain shot through her body.

"What did you..."

Samantha smiled coldly.

"You studied pharmacology, didn’t you?"

"So you should understand."

"I can easily make something that paralyzes the nerves."

Victoria’s expression changed.

Samantha leaned closer.

"If you want the antidote..."

"Help me get Rose to the top floor."

"Right now."

Victoria’s face went pale.

She didn’t know what drug had entered her system.

But she knew Samantha.

She knew what had happened with Daisy.

She knew Samantha had already reached a point where she had nothing left to lose.

There was no reasoning with someone like that.

Victoria had no choice.

Together, they moved Rose.

Ariel was pulled up by Samantha.

The three were forced into the private service elevator.

*****

Back in the ballroom...

Alicia covered her mouth and nose.

The roses decorating the hall were beautiful.

But they were also overwhelming.

"I’m allergic to pollen."

She leaned toward James.

"Brother, I’ll leave first."

James didn’t even look at her.

His phone had just vibrated.

He immediately picked it up.

Alicia wasn’t surprised.

James had never treated her warmly.

She was used to it.

She simply turned around.

Before leaving, she glanced once more at the crowd.

She didn’t see Rose.

But she didn’t think too much about it.

Then she walked away.

*****

At the same moment...

Ryan and Trevor opened the message.

Their expressions changed.
