Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 The Same Kindergarten

Rose never expected to encounter a situation like this.

It was so absurd that she couldn’t help letting out a short, incredulous laugh.

"Are you saying they probably couldn’t control themselves while working late and ended up doing that right here in the office?"

Her words were blunt.

So blunt, in fact, that the man awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"Well, they’re young and deeply in love. Besides, Ms. Hill will be the boss’s wife soon. The office is practically their home already. I’ll go knock on the door right away. It won’t take long, Ms. Bennett."

The corners of Rose’s lips twitched slightly.

"Thank you for your trouble."

How novel.

So she was about to walk in on her husband—with whom her divorce papers hadn’t even been finalized yet—having a passionate affair?

For a moment, she even wondered whether she should record a video.

Who knew? It might become useful leverage in securing her divorce without being held hostage by the Knight family.

"Ms. Bennett, please come in."

Sure enough.

Just as Rose’s thoughts were running wild, the office door opened.

Instantly, her opportunity to play the role of a hysterical wife vanished.

Shaking her head in mock regret, Rose stared at the doorway.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she stepped inside.

Whether the office had been tidied up or not, the spacious room revealed nothing.

Her gaze immediately landed on Ryan, seated behind his desk, and Samantha, standing beside him and leaning in to whisper something in his ear.

There was undeniably an intimacy between them that was difficult to describe.

Both of them looked up at her simultaneously.

Ryan’s expression remained calm, showing no reaction whatsoever to her arrival.

"Here about the project?"

Samantha, however, sounded noticeably impatient.

"Didn’t I already respond to G.S.? Do you think drug development can be rushed?"

Rose understood exactly what kind of attitude Samantha was displaying.

She sat down on the guest sofa and replied calmly, "So you’re admitting your incompetence? You’re saying a project that should have progressed normally has been mishandled, and now you expect the partner company to absorb the consequences?"

The words were harsh.

No different from slapping someone across the face in public.

Samantha’s expression immediately darkened.

Still, she managed a faint sneer.

"Did Mr. Byrne send you here? Or do you personally have a grudge against me and volunteer to come here under his authority just to make things difficult?"

In Samantha’s eyes, Rose was nothing more than an ordinary junior researcher.

A woman who had somehow inserted herself into a top-tier cardiovascular drug development project and padded her résumé by staying close to Caleb.

And now she was acting like a senior executive?

Samantha curled her lips.

"Rose, I hope you won’t let your personal feelings interfere with your work. That’s my advice to you."

Rose was momentarily stunned.

So now she was the emotional one?

She was the one targeting Samantha?

Quite impressive.

The ability to shift blame so effortlessly.

But wasn’t all of this happening because—

Out of the corner of her eye, Rose shot a mocking glance at the man reclining comfortably in his chair.

Ryan looked aloof, composed, and perfectly neutral.

In the end, it was nothing more than Ryan backing Samantha.

Rose had already seen through her.

Her eyes turned cold. "You must have missed me terribly. If I don’t behave the way you’ve imagined, I’d be letting down the version of me you’ve created in your head."

She leaned back slightly. "Either you provide the test data today, or G.S. will formally request a replacement for the Columbia University project leader."

This time, Ryan narrowed his eyes and finally looked at her.

Samantha’s expression darkened even further.

"Who do you think you are?"

Rose answered leisurely, "Mr. Knight may enjoy supporting your work out of personal affection, but G.S. isn’t interested in wasting real money, manpower, and resources indulging you."

Samantha understood immediately.

Caleb must have expressed dissatisfaction.

That was probably why Rose had been sent to negotiate.

Of course, Caleb certainly hadn’t instructed her to speak like this.

Rose was simply taking advantage of the opportunity.

As for the comment about Ryan’s "personal affection"—
