Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Desperate for a Child

Oliver noticed the blank signature line at the bottom of the agreement as well.

Earlier, while Ryan had been reviewing the divorce agreement, Oliver had read through every clause himself.

In the end, he let out a derisive snort.

"I knew it."

He shook his head. "Rose doesn’t have the nerve to ask you for a divorce."

His lips curled into a mocking smile. "Who in their right mind would agree to terms like these?"

He tapped the agreement. "Didn’t you find these conditions ridiculous?"

Several clauses stood out in particular:

1.If they divorced, Ryan would have to give Rose half of his assets.

2.For ten years after the divorce, Ryan could not marry Samantha, give her legal status as his wife, or have children with her.

3.The divorce could proceed only after Ryan gave Rose a child. Once she became pregnant, they would officially complete the divorce.

Oliver couldn’t help laughing.

"Does this look like someone who genuinely wants a divorce?"

He scoffed. "This is just someone throwing a tantrum."

Ryan remained expressionless.

Oliver continued, "Rose must know you’d never agree to these terms."

"That’s why she’s acting so bold."

The agreement was obviously an emotional outburst.

A document with no practical value whatsoever. "She doesn’t want a divorce at all."

Oliver sounded certain. "She’s convinced you’ll never sign it."

Did Rose really have no idea how much Ryan was worth?

Half his assets?

The demand was outrageous.

And forbidding him from marrying Samantha for ten years?

Was she trying to waste Samantha’s youth?

As for the clause requiring Ryan to give her a child before the divorce—

Oliver almost laughed again.

The calculation behind it was painfully obvious.

If Rose actually had a child with Ryan, would she ever agree to divorce afterward?

She would only use the child to strengthen her position and bind herself to him even more tightly.

The scheme was so transparent that it was almost laughable.

"Ryan."

Oliver glanced at him. "You’re not actually going to entertain this nonsense, are you?"

"I don’t have time for it."

Ryan’s expression never changed.

He looked down at the agreement one final time.

Then he walked toward the trash can near the stairwell.

Holding the papers between two fingers, he tore them into pieces.

The shredded pages fell into the trash.

Oliver finally relaxed.

At least Ryan hadn’t been influenced by Rose’s latest stunt.

"Aren’t you going to talk to her about it?"

Ryan started down the stairs.

"No."

"If she wants to make a scene, let her."

As for the agreement—

He would simply pretend he had never seen it.

Oliver immediately understood.

A smile appeared on his face. "I get it."

"Ignore her."

"Eventually she’ll understand that some lines can’t be crossed."

He clicked his tongue.

Once again, all of Rose’s efforts had gone to waste.

To challenge Ryan, she needed leverage.

Clearly, she still didn’t understand her place.

*****

The Knight Residence

Back at the Knight family estate, Martha had just returned.

Margaret was still in the Buddhist shrine.

As she listened to Martha’s report, she slowly rose from her meditation cushion.

"So Rose is truly serious about this divorce."

"Madam."

Martha lowered her voice. "The agreement Mrs. Knight signed has already been replaced."

"There shouldn’t be any problems now, right?"

Margaret sighed. "The last time I brought up the clause prohibiting remarriage into the Knight family, I only meant to frighten her."

A trace of helplessness crossed her face.

"I wanted her to give up on the divorce."

"I never expected her to remain so determined."

But if the divorce actually happened—

The Knight family would lose its peace.

The Hill family had been waiting for years.

Samantha was watching from the sidelines, eager to step into Rose’s position.

Margaret couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing.

"Madam."

Martha hesitated. "Can we really keep this from Mr. Knight forever?"

"What if he confronts his wife after he gets home?"

"Wouldn’t the truth come out then?"

"It won’t." Margaret sounded certain. "Ryan is far too shrewd."

She smiled faintly. "He’ll treat that ridiculous agreement as though it never existed."

"When have you ever seen Ryan and Rose argue?"

Martha fell silent.

It was true.

Throughout all these years, their marriage had been strangely quiet.

If Ryan had cared even a little more about Rose, perhaps they could have sat down and talked things through.

Maybe things wouldn’t have reached this point.

As for Rose...

Margaret would have to find another way to keep her under control.

"But Madam." Martha frowned. "The two divorce agreements are real."

"They were arranged by the former chairman seven years ago."

"Once the three-month period ends, the divorce will still take effect."

Margaret’s expression darkened.

Martha had discovered the truth only because she happened to glimpse the documents in the folder.

After making discreet inquiries, Margaret learned something surprising.
