Chapter 20


    Chapter 20 Keeping a Low Profile


    Ophelia was feeling extremely annoyed at that moment.


    Her ex–husband, Osborne, whom she despised, had somehow be a VIP at Draco Auction


    House and could use the


    exclusive VIPne while she had to wait in line.


    Even though Ophelia knew he was a fake VIP, that still didn’t make her feel any better.


    Proud as she was, she couldn’t stand the idea that her useless ex was more celebrated than her.


    Just then, an arrogant voice suddenly rang out. “Oh, Ophelia, you’re here already?”


    Ophelia turned to look and immediately smiled, “Wesley, you made it.”


    Wesley, the heir of the prestigious Ashford family, was a top young gentleman in Mayby City. The


    Ashford family was more powerful than the Caldwell family and ranked among the top five elite


    families in Mayby City.


    The reason Ophelia divorced Osborne was to marry Wesley. Although she had no feelings for


    Wesley, she didn’t mind this business alliance, as marrying Wesley would fortify the Caldwell


    family.


    Chapter 20 Keeping a Low Profile


    Wesley didn’t care that she had been married before because marrying her would also strengthen


    the Ashford family.


    He smiled faintly and said, “Why do you guys look upset, Ophelia? Did something happen? Tell me.

    “You are my fiancée now. If something is wrong, you cane directly to me. I have some


    influence at Draco Auction House in Mayby City.”


    After Wesley finished speaking proudly, Ophelia’s expression shifted immediately.


    She asked, “Do you know someone at Draco Auction House?”


    With a proud look, Wesley nodded. “Yes, I have a friend who’s an executive there.”


    Opheliaughed upon hearing that and began to recount what had just happened, saying, “Wesley,


    it’s my useless ex–husband. He is pretending to be a VIP…”


    Wesley’s face darkened at that.


    He didn’t mind that Ophelia had been married before, but that didn’t mean he could tolerate


    Osborne’s existence. To Wesley, Ophelia’s ex–husband was better off dead.


    Wesley snorted, “A worthlessmoner pretending to be a VIP of the Draco Group? No matter


    what trickery he’s used, I’ll expose him.

    “Ophelia, just wait. I’ll get my friend to check immediately.


    “Once I expose his true identity, I’ll make him live in hell!”


    With that, Wesley’s whole demeanor was radiating with murderous intent.


    Meanwhile, Osborne, led by Debbe, was walking through the VIPne. Though she was a middle–


    aged woman, her curvy hips swayed, and her waist moved enticingly, making her very alluring.


    “Are you satisfied with how I’ve handled things, Mr. Augustine?” She asked with a smile.


    Osborne nodded and gratefully replied, “Thank you for helping me, Ms. Lewis. I’m very satisfied.


    However, it seems a bit


    too high–profile. Now, many people in Mayby City might be specting about my true identity.”


    Debbe smiled faintly, “Mr. Augustine, you are the owner of the Draco Star Wristlet and a close


    confidant of the Godfather. No matter how hard they dig, they won’t uncover anything.


    “If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will reveal your identity, Mr. Augustine. I believe no one in


    Mayby City will dare to mess with you then.”


    Osborne shook his head and said, “I prefer not to reveal my


    identity, Ms. Lewis. I’d appreciate it if you could say that my VIP status is just a part of your


    promotion and that I have no special identity.


    “I want people to think I’m just


    Debbe was stunned by Osborne’s words.


    Everyone in this world wanted to be a big shot, hoping to be ttered and pleased by others. It


    was like those typical salespeople who would always title themselves as sales managers on their


    business cards.


    Employees hoped others thought they were managers, managers hoped others thought they were


    the boss, and bosses hoped others thought theirpanies were among the elite. Everyone


    exaggerated their status as much as possible to appear more prestigious.


    But Osborne wanted to keep his identity a secret.


    “May I ask why, Mr. Augustine? If your identity were made public, it would be much easier for you to


    operate in Mayby City. All the influential families would have to curry favor with you,” Debbe asked


    in confusion.

    Osborne replied calmly, “Because I’m still too weak. I’m not worthy of such an identity yet. They fear


    the Godfather, not me.”


    “What’s the difference?” Debbe asked again.


    Osborne smiled faintly and offered no exnation.


    After experiencing the power of authority, he indeed felt exhrated, but he didn’t lose his


    composure, as he knew that


    Chapter 20 Keeping a Low Profile


    power was a double–edged sword that could harm him if not used properly.

    Furthermore, Osborne now only wanted to pass more sessor


    tests and secure higher authority to save Anastasia. He wasn’t interested in dealing with the ttery


    and currying favor of the high society.


    Since no one knew what his next sessor test would be, he figured that if he was too high–profile,


    it might affect his ability toplete it. Therefore, he needed to stay low–key.


    Although this might lead to more challenges and trouble for Osborne, keeping a low profile was still


    the better choice.


    “Okay, I’ll do as you say, Mr. Augustine.” Debbe didn’t ask any more questions and swiftly started


    organizing everything.


    Soon after, Osborne arrived inside the auction house.


    “Mr. Augustine, since you prefer to keep a low profile, I won’t apany you. Besides, Ms.


    Radcliffe is about to arrive. She’s a distinguished guest, so I need to go attend to her,” Debbe said


    and then turned to leave.


    “Ms. Radcliffe?” Osborne repeated.
