Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366: Chapter 366 The Trap Closes

If someone hadn’t stopped that boat, Samantha would have died.

There was no question about it.

The Knight family had wanted her gone.

They were ruthless enough to eliminate anyone who threatened their interests, and Ethan and Isabella had been no exception.

Samantha had lost the child she was carrying. With the pregnancy gone, there was no longer any legal basis for delaying her incarceration.

Even if she’d been rescued, she would still have faced prison.

She had nowhere to run.

And before that, she’d been subjected to unimaginable physical and psychological torment at the hands of Ethan and Isabella.

She regretted everything.

If only she hadn’t gone looking for Ethan.

At worst, she would have been taken into custody when the time came.

She might have spent years in prison, but at least she wouldn’t have endured this.

She had truly lost her mind.

Now, she just wanted to drag as many people down with her as possible.

One by one.

Anyone she could take with her.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Ethan shouted, panic flashing across his face.

Cold sweat broke out along his forehead.

“You’ll say anything to frame me?”

Alex Knight’s expression changed dramatically.

This meeting had been supposed to be about removing Ryan.

How had the entire situation suddenly turned against his own branch of the family?

“This woman is insane!” Isabella rushed forward. “Get her out of here!”

She had already learned that Samantha had somehow been abducted and then recovered.

There was no way she could allow this loose end to remain.

The only way she would be able to sleep peacefully was if Samantha disappeared for good.

But she hadn’t expected Samantha to show up here.

And she certainly hadn’t expected her to come armed with evidence.

Isabella’s face shifted between pale and flushed as she looked toward Ryan.

“Evidence? What recording?”

Edward raised one hand.

“Enough.”

The room immediately fell silent.

Samantha’s eyes were bloodshot.

Although she was barely holding herself upright, she forced herself to speak.

“Check my email.”

She looked directly at Edward.

“I saved everything there. I have proof of exactly how Ethan threatened me and forced me to steal those files.”

She had always been careful.

Back then, she’d been afraid Ethan might eventually throw her under the bus for stealing the company’s secrets.

So she’d kept a backup.

She’d never imagined she’d need it like this.

She couldn’t save herself anymore.

Fine.

Then she’d make sure Ethan and Isabella paid the price too.

Alex slammed his hand against the table.

“Ryan, what exactly are you trying to pull? Did you bring this woman here just to frame Ethan?”

His expression was furious.

“Everyone knows she had a relationship with you—”

Rose nearly laughed.

A relationship?

The entire Knight family had known what was going on.

They had simply chosen to look the other way because it suited them.

Ryan finally looked at Alex.

His expression remained completely detached.

“She says she’s carrying your son’s child.”

Alex’s face stiffened.

Ryan continued calmly.

“She also says your son and his mother forcibly ended the pregnancy.”

His eyes narrowed slightly.

“So what exactly are you referring to when you call her relationship with me questionable?”

“That’s ridiculous!” Alex exploded.

“She isn’t pregnant!”

He slammed his fist against the table and stood.

Ryan lowered his eyes and idly turned the yoghurt bottle between his fingers.

“Is that so?”

He lifted one hand.

Someone immediately stepped into the room.

A laptop was placed on the table.

The screen lit up.

Then the video began.

The room fell silent.

The footage showed Samantha entering the old Knight estate.

Then making her way to Ethan’s private courtyard.

Then Isabella arriving.

Then the people Isabella summoned.

The events that followed were impossible to misunderstand.

Everyone watched in silence.

Even those who had grown accustomed to the ruthless world of corporate power looked away.

It was brutal.

Rose was completely stunned.

She’d never imagined Samantha had gone through something like this.

Only days earlier, Rose had been furious that Samantha had managed to avoid immediate incarceration because of her pregnancy.

She’d thought Samantha had escaped punishment.

Instead, Samantha had been dragged from one nightmare into another.

They had given her a tiny glimpse of hope—

only to destroy it completely.

Rose couldn’t imagine how utterly hopeless Samantha must have felt.

Edward’s expression remained cold and unreadable.

But his eyes were like ice.

He understood exactly what this meant.

If this scandal became public, the consequences wouldn’t stop with Ethan.

It could drag the entire Knight family into the mud.

Their reputation.

Their leadership.

Their business empire.

Everything.

Isabella broke into a cold sweat.

“How could there be a video like this?”

She turned toward Edward.

“Dad, this is a misunderstanding. I never intended to damage the Knight family’s reputation—”

Ethan stumbled backward.

His face had gone completely white.

He suddenly turned toward Ryan.

“You were spying on me?”

Only then did Ryan give him a sidelong glance.

“I suspected you were involved in the leak.”

His voice remained calm.

“I was looking for evidence.”

He paused.

“I didn’t expect to find this.”

Then Ryan turned toward Edward.

“Samantha says there’s an audio recording as well.”

His expression didn’t change.

“Let’s hear it.”

Edward stared at him for several seconds.
