Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Chapter 354 The Choice at the Edge

Ryan’s words cut deeper than any weapon.

Samantha stared at him, completely frozen.

For a moment, she almost forgot where she was.

She had thought she still had something she could use against him.

A memory.

A past affection.

A trace of guilt.

Anything.

But Ryan gave her nothing.

Not even a false comfort.

Her lips parted slightly.

“Even if it’s a lie...”

Her voice trembled.

“Even if you don’t mean it... you won’t even pretend?”

Ryan’s expression remained unchanged.

“Do you think you deserve that?”

The question was delivered in the calmest possible tone.

No anger.

No disgust.

Just a simple statement.

And somehow, that made it hurt even more.

Samantha’s fingers tightened around Ariel’s shoulder.

Her hands began shaking.

She had expected anger.

She had expected panic.

She had expected him to plead.

But Ryan stood there like an immovable wall.

No matter what she did...

He would not give her the one thing she wanted.

Recognition.

A sign that she had once mattered.

Her eyes slowly turned red.

She had three lives in her hands.

Three people.

And yet, she still couldn’t make him say he cared.

*****

Trevor noticed immediately.

Samantha was no longer thinking clearly.

Her emotions had completely taken over.

His gaze shifted toward Rose.

She was still unconscious.

Her head rested slightly to the side, her brows drawn together as if she were trapped in an unpleasant dream.

Samantha hadn’t bothered tying her up.

She probably believed an unconscious woman sitting beside a five-story drop was already enough.

And she was right.

One wrong movement...

One accidental push...

Rose would be gone.

Trevor’s jaw tightened.

He turned toward Ryan.

"Mr. Knight."

His voice was low.

"Getting her down safely is the priority."

It wasn’t an accusation.

It was a reminder.

Right now, provoking Samantha was dangerous.

James looked equally grim.

"We should calm her down first."

Ryan said nothing.

His eyes remained fixed on Rose.

Then they moved to Ariel.

The little girl was crying silently.

But she wasn’t screaming.

She wasn’t struggling.

She was watching everything with frightening calmness.

Ryan slowly stepped forward.

One step.

Then another.

Samantha immediately became alert.

"You stay there!"

Ryan stopped.

His voice remained steady.

"You want money."

"You want to leave the country."

"I can give you that."

His eyes locked onto hers.

"But if anything happens here today..."

"If anyone gets hurt..."

"Everything you’re asking for disappears."

Samantha’s breathing slowed.

Ryan continued.

"You won’t just have to answer for your mother."

"Logan isn’t your biological father."

"And your son is still a child."

"Do you really think anyone will protect you after this?"

His voice was quiet.

But every word landed heavily.

Samantha stared at him.

Fear flickered through her eyes.

Then anger replaced it.

She pulled Ariel closer.

"Don’t come any closer!"

"Or I’ll throw her over!"

Everyone froze.

Ryan stopped immediately.

Trevor stepped forward slightly.

"Miss Hill."

"Think carefully."

"We can discuss anything."

"But don’t touch my daughter."

Samantha laughed bitterly.

There was desperation in that laugh.

"Discuss?"

"What is there left to discuss?"

Ever since Daisy had been arrested...

Her entire world had collapsed.

The woman who once stood above everyone else had fallen to the point where she couldn’t even walk freely through the city.

She had lost her reputation.

Her money.

Her future.

She refused to accept that ending.

"I want the money ready."

"I want a private jet."

"And I choose the route."

"I’m going to Switzerland."

Her eyes sharpened.

"Otherwise, there is no deal."

Trevor remained calm.

"I can arrange it."

"But it will take time."

"The flight plan and approval process cannot happen instantly."

Samantha sneered.

"Don’t try to stall me."

"If I don’t see everything prepared within thirty minutes..."

She glanced toward Rose.

"I’ll make someone fall."

"Understood."

Trevor answered.
