    “rissa, you look exhausted! Come here! Take rissa back to her room to rest. I’ll take care of


    the guests,” Donna said sternly as several female bodyguards stepped forward.


    rissa immediately became anxious, and her face turned pale. “Aunt Donna, you can’t do this.”


    Unfortunately, her protests were in vain.


    The female bodyguards took rissa away by force, holding her


    arms.


    Witnessing this scene, Osborne felt speechless.


    He thought, “Even someone like rissa can sometimes feel trapped. The control she faces is


    stricter than most people, with no allowances for emotions.


    While everyone sees her beauty, her privileged status, and her perfect cold facade, no one realizes


    she doesn’t even have the right to decide who her friends are.

    No wonder she started running away from home at the of


    five.”


    At that moment, Osborne suddenly felt a pang of pity for rissa.

    After rissa was taken away, Donna turned her gaze back to Osborne, her calm face now tinged


    with authority.


    “Now, Mr. Augustine, we can continue our previous discussion. What do you think of my proposal?


    If you agree, I can assure you that you will soon be a prominent figure in Mayby City, even


    establishing a new prominent family.


    “We, the Radcliffe family, have the capability. Do you want me to propose a n, or do you have a


    request in mind?”


    Ophelia and Wesley were consumed with jealousy. Ophelia thought, “If only I had known that


    Osborne was rissa’s savior, I would never have agreed to divorce him.


    To propose a request to the Radcliffe family?


    To gain their support? It’s what I’ve always dreamed of.


    And now, Osborne effortlessly achieved it!”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Both of them were certain that Osborne would agree. No one would pass up such an opportunity.


    With the support of the Radcliffe family, who in Mayby City would dare to offend Osborne?


    Regardless of Osborne’s previous status, he would be a top figure in Mayby City.


    Even they would have to tter him.


    No one believed Osborne would refuse, and Donna shared the


    Chapter 45 More Foolish


    same sentiment.


    But at that moment, Osborne raised his head.

    Calmly, he said, “I’m sorry, but I may not be able to ept your proposal.”


    After he spoke, everyone was stunned.


    Osborne, of course, couldn’t agree. Even though he was tempted, epting Donna’s offer would


    mean he couldn’t see rissa any


    more.


    This conflicted with his second test.


    Unable to pass the test, he wouldn’t be able to be the Godfather’s sessor, losing more than


    he gained.


    Osborne wasn’t foolish. He wouldn’t sacrifice a greater opportunity for a smaller one.


    However, in Ophelia and Wesley’s eyes, Osborne’s choice was beyond foolish.


    They stared at him, dumbfounded.


    “Idiot!”


    Wesley suddenly felt a sense of schadenfreude. Looking at Donna’s cold expression, he thought


    Osborne was in for a rough lime.

    He thought, “Amoner is just amoner. He could ruin such a great opportunity, making the


    worst choice! More foolish than a pig!”


    Ophelia shook her head as well.


    She had thought Osborne’s fate was about to change, even starting to regret divorcing him.


    But Osborne made the worst choice, further causing her disdain.


    She thought, “Indeed, a uselessmoner will never rise above his luck. Given an opportunity,


    he’s still useless, truly hopeless!”


    Ophelia was disappointed and once again felt that divorce was the right thing to do.


    At that moment, Donna’s face turned extremely cold and stern, her gaze piercing as she looked at


    Osborne.


    “Young man, you can’t be too greedy in life! Some things are just not meant for you to have. Trying


    to force your way in will only hurt yourself.


    “Think it over some more, thene back with your answer when you’re ready.”


    Donna’s voice was filled with coldness and threat.


    Osborne wore a wry smile, knowing that Donna misunderstood he was one of rissa’s suitors, yet


    he couldn’t exin himself.

    Calmly shaking his head, he replied, “No need to think about it. I won’t agree to your proposal


    because I don’t see this as a transaction. I don’t want to trade the act of saving Ms. Radcliffe for any


    benefits, nor do I want to lose anything in the process.”


    Donna’s expression turned even colder.


    “Young man, do you realize what you’re missing out on by making this choice? The friendship and


    support of the Radcliffe family are not something just anyone can obtain!


    “If you don’t believe me, ask them both. If my proposal were given to them, even if it meant


    abandoning their families, they wouldn’t hesitate for a moment.”


    Wesley and Ophelia looked embarrassed upon hearing this.


    However, they didn’t argue back, partly out of fear and partly because Donna was right.


    If Osborne’s opportunity was given to them, they would definitely be willing to give up a lot. They


    knew that with the support of the Radcliffe family, they could soar to great heights, reiming


    everything they had lost twofold.


    Osborne, on the other hand, simply smiled, “They may be willing to abandon their families for this,


    but I don’t even want to lose a single hair.


    “So, I’m not like them.”
