Chapter 21


    Chapter 21 Ex–wife’s Fiancé


    Osborne murmured to himself and didn’t think much about it. He then found a corner and sat down


    to wait quietly.


    Tonight’s auction was divided into two stages. One was a charity auction, and another was a


    treasure auction.


    The charity auction hadn’t begun yet, but numerous prominent figures from Mayby City were


    already gathered, quietly discussing among themselves.


    When they saw Osborne entering through the VIP passage, their eyes lit up.


    However, they did not recognize him and did not dare to


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    approach him, only quietly discussing and trying to find out who he was.


    Osborne ignored them, as his sole purpose for being here was to bid on the longevity herb for


    Anastasia.


    From his conversation with Debbe earlier, he had learned that two longevity herbs would be


    auctioned tonight, which eased his mind considerably.


    Now, Osborne just needed to win the bids for both longevity herbs, and Anastasia would be saved.


    He was willing to give up everything to save Anastasia, even if it


    mcant


    bing penniless again. No matter whopeted with him, he would fight to the end.


    While thinking about this, Osborne began to practice The Breath of Celestial as he waited for the


    auction to officially start.


    Just then, the members of the Caldwell family and the Ashford family finally entered.


    They saw Osborne in the corner but did not dare to trouble him, as they were still unclear about


    why he had VIP status and did not want to act rashly.


    Wesley stared intently at Osborne and asked with a grim expression, “Is that the loser Osborne?”


    When Wesley thought about how Ophelia had once been Osborne’s wife, sharing a bed and having


    intimate moments, he felt a deep resentment toward Osborne. He would only feel at ease if


    Osborne were dead.


    When Ophelia saw Wesley’s expression, she could roughly guess what he was thinking.


    She nodded and said, “Yes, that’s Osborne, my ex–husband. But don’t worry. No one except the


    Caldwell family knows about our marriage. I will make sure the Caldwell family members keep it


    a secret.”


    Wesley’s expression softened a bit, but he soon snorted and questioned, “What if Osborne decides


    to tell people himself?”

    Ophelia was taken aback and frowned. “He… he probably won’t say anything. From what I know of


    him, he’s not the type to spread such things.”


    “Oh, really?” Wesley didn’t believe her and responded. “Before you guys got divorced, he willingly


    stayed in your shadow and didn’t tell anyone about your rtionship. But now that you’re divorced,


    are you sure he won’t say anything?”


    Ophelia frowned and lost confidence in her own words.


    Wesley said, “Ophelia, I don’t want our families‘ union to be a topic of gossip. If you can’t


    ensure his silence, I will handle it my way.


    “Only a dead man can keep a secret!” He dered, his words brimming with menace.


    Ophelia opened her mouth as if to persuade him otherwise. However, after thinking about the


    importance of the Caldwell and Ashford family union, she just nodded in response.


    “I’ll make sure he leaves Mayby City and neveres back,” she stated.


    Wesley shrugged and said nothing more.


    As more people arrived, the news that Osborne was a VIP of the Draco Group began to spread


    among the prominent figures at the event. Many of them finally mustered the courage to approach


    him.


    “Mr. Augustine, I am


    family. We specialize in hotel and restaurant services. Here’s my business card and a 50% VIP


    discount card for Watson Haven. Please ept it. When you have the time, I’ll make sure to give


    you a warm wee at Watson Haven.”


    “Mr. Augustine I am Jenny Carter, the heir of the Carter family. Here’s my business card. Our family


    business focuses on


    transportation. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with


    you.”


    “Mr. Augustine, I am…”


    All the prominent business figures and affluent individuals of Mayby City crowded around Osborne,


    each vying to introduce themselves and present their business cards.


    Osborne felt somewhat helpless. He had already mentioned that he was just an ordinary person,


    not a notable figure, but these people didn’t believe him.


    It was because they knew that an ordinary person wouldn’t be in this event, an ordinary person


    wouldn’t be a VIP at Draco Auction House, and an ordinary person wouldn’t have Debber


    personally apanying them.


    These prominent figures were very shrewd and didn’t believe Osborne’s exnation. They knew


    that any advantage from a VIP could be highly profitable for them..


    So, he simply stopped exining and epted every business

    card handed to him.


    Some beautiful and alluring women even discreetly gave Osborne their hotel room keys, which he


    also took to prevent them from bugging him.

    When Ophelia and Wesley saw this, they looked very displeased, their faces showing clear signs of


    jealousy and resentment.


    In their view, Osborne was just a nobody, yet with a fake VIP status, he was more admired than


    they were, surrounded by so many important figures. How could they not be jealous?


    Right then, Wesley’s phone rang. After answering the call, his eyes lit up, and a sneer appeared on


    his face.


    He chuckled mockingly, “So that’s how it is!


    “Ophelia, it turns out that loser’s VIP status is indeed fake. He’s not a real VIP. He just got lucky and


    received a VIP experience card.”


    “VIP experience card?” Ophelia asked.
