Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid

Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Trevor Confess His Feelings For Rose

The air seemed to freeze.

Just moments earlier, everyone had been chatting and laughing about industry trends, pharmaceutical projects, and the future of medical research. Now, all of that had vanished in an instant.

Ryan’s deep gaze settled on Rose’s face before slowly drifting downward to Jordan’s hand wrapped around her wrist.

Behind them stood a bed scattered with rose petals.

The scene appeared intimate enough to speak for itself.

Trevor, however, showed no obvious reaction.

It was as though he didn’t find anything unusual about what he was seeing.

James immediately glanced at Trevor.

The lack of reaction on his face caused James to frown involuntarily.

Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up.

"Isn’t this the wrong time and place for romance? With so many people around, couldn’t you at least show some restraint?"

Another voice chimed in.

"A woman should have some sense of propriety. We’re all here discussing medicine and research. This is completely inappropriate."

"So Ms. Bennett and Mr. Dutch really are involved? Meeting in secret behind everyone’s backs—we must have been blind."

The comments blended together throughout the crowd.

It was impossible to tell who had spoken first.

Or perhaps who had deliberately started the conversation.

Samantha listened quietly, the corners of her lips lifting ever so slightly.

She glanced at Rose, who had become the center of attention, before turning to Ryan, who had remained silent throughout.

"It looks like their relationship has progressed quite a bit recently."

As she spoke, she deliberately observed Trevor, who stood nearby.

The sarcasm in her tone became even more obvious.

This was what people called having the best of both worlds.

How could Trevor possibly tolerate someone as fickle as Rose?

Turning back to Rose, Samantha smiled lightly.

"Rose, did you accept Mr. Dutch’s confession too?"

That single word—too—carried a great deal of meaning.

First came Jordan’s public pursuit.

Then Trevor’s proposal in front of everyone.

And now...

According to Samantha, Rose had accepted them both.

There was no way Trevor would miss the implication.

In Samantha’s eyes, Rose was nothing more than a manipulative schemer.

And her dream of marrying into the Robinson family was nothing but wishful thinking.

Surely both Trevor and Jordan had finally seen Rose’s true colors.

A man of Trevor’s status should be interested in women from his own social circle—not someone like Rose.

Samantha’s expression remained perfectly innocent, but Rose understood exactly what she was trying to do.

Frowning, she was about to speak when Grace finally intervened.

Looking directly at Rose, she asked calmly, "Mr. Dutch, are you here because of the G.S. project as well? Have you already reached some kind of private agreement with Rose?"

With a single sentence, she shifted the focus back to business.

The tension in the room eased slightly.

Samantha’s smile faltered.

She had expected Grace to criticize Rose for causing a scene at the Taylor estate.

Given Grace’s temperament, it wouldn’t have been surprising if she had ordered Rose removed immediately.

Everyone knew Grace had no tolerance for this sort of behavior.

Yet instead of reprimanding Rose, she was giving her an excuse.

Rose knew exactly what was happening.

Someone had orchestrated this entire situation.

Almost immediately, her eyes landed on James, who was leaning casually against the doorway.

A cold light flashed through her gaze.

Just as she was about to speak, Jordan tightened his grip on her wrist and addressed the crowd.

"The project is real, and it’s true that I want to work with Rose. But there’s no need for everyone to overthink things. Nothing happened between us today."

Rose was instantly annoyed.

Jordan had always lived like a carefree young master.

At a moment like this, he clearly wasn’t considering her reputation.

The smartest approach would have been a firm denial.

Instead—

She clenched her fists.

"Let go."

"Mr. Dutch, please release Ms. Bennett."

A deep, steady voice cut through the room.

Everyone turned.

Trevor stood there, expressionless.

His face was calm as still water.

His eyes never left Jordan.

The atmosphere shifted immediately.

Even Ryan, who had appeared detached from the situation, adjusted his gaze slightly and looked at Trevor with unreadable eyes.

Jordan sensed it instantly.

The subtle hostility.

The unmistakable challenge.

It was something only another man could truly recognize.

He frowned. "Mr. Robinson, what exactly do you mean by that?"

Trevor’s voice remained calm. "Ms. Bennett clearly does not appreciate your taking liberties with her. Please respect her wishes."

Jordan pressed his lips together.

"Mr. Robinson, are you protecting her, or..."

Trevor lifted his eyes. "I like Rose."

The room fell silent.

The straightforward declaration cut through the absurdity of the situation like a blade.

Another bombshell.

Those who didn’t know the full story stared at Trevor in shock.

The future head of the Robinson family.

President Robinson himself.

Actually admitting his feelings for a woman surrounded by so much controversy.

The smile on Jordan’s face froze.

Rose was stunned.

Ryan’s cold eyes narrowed slightly.

A faint, almost imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

Yet his attention wasn’t on Trevor.

It was on Grace.

The most important person in the room.

Only then did many people suddenly realize the true problem.

Trevor was engaged to a member of the Taylor family.

His confession was effectively tearing apart the carefully maintained harmony between the Robinson and Taylor families.

Right in front of Grace.

He was laying every card on the table.

Grace’s expression darkened.

She clearly hadn’t expected things to unfold this way.

For a brief moment, anger flashed across James’s face.

He had only wanted Trevor to give up on Rose.

Instead, Trevor had publicly confessed his feelings in front of everyone—including James, Grace, and the entire room.

The situation had become impossible to control.

"Butler."

Grace’s voice was sharp. "Please escort the guests to the front hall for refreshments."

A chill ran down Rose’s spine.

Grace was clearing out the spectators.

Only the people directly involved would remain.

The matter would be settled face-to-face.

In truth, Rose had anticipated this outcome from the very beginning.

The moment she and Trevor reached an agreement regarding Ariel, she had known this day would eventually come.

Staff quickly arrived to guide everyone out.

One of them approached Ryan. "Mr. Knight, please proceed to the front hall and rest."

At that moment, even Ryan seemed to have become an outsider to the situation.

Ryan didn’t move.

His gaze remained cold and distant.

James frowned and waved the staff member away.

"There’s no need. Ryan already knows everything."

Grace didn’t even bother asking how he knew.

At this point, there were more important matters to deal with.

It would be a lie to say she wasn’t upset.

The beliefs she had held onto for years had just been shattered.

Her expression naturally reflected that.

Samantha remained silent, merely raising an eyebrow.

She was convinced that after today, Rose would never again enjoy Grace’s favor.

Her future opportunities—and perhaps even her access to valuable resources—would likely disappear.

After all, Rose had effectively stolen the ideal grandson-in-law meant for Grace’s beloved granddaughter.

It was a scandal of the highest order.

Jordan, through his family connections to the Taylors, understood exactly why Grace was furious.

His expression darkened.

Looking at Rose’s remarkably calm face, an inexplicable anger rose inside him.

He had known Rose once cared about Ryan.

He had known she had competed with Samantha.

But he had never imagined she was involved with Trevor as well.

Then what was he supposed to be?

Now Rose had clearly offended the Taylor family.

"How could you—"

Before he could finish, Rose shook him off.

Her voice was icy. "It has nothing to do with you."

Jordan fell silent.

His expression darkened even further.

The group moved toward a private sitting room.

Jordan didn’t follow.

Grace was too preoccupied to pay him any attention.

Trevor walked beside her.

Finally, he met the elderly woman’s gaze directly.

His voice was calm and composed. "Chairman Morris, I need to make something clear."

The room fell silent.

"Ms. Bennett and I are not in a relationship."

He paused briefly. "It is I who have feelings for her."

Then he added quietly, "She is completely innocent in this matter."
