Chapter 140 Fiancé
Donna emphasized the words “engagement” with a heavy tone.
After speaking, she nced towards Osborne.
Clearly, her remark was deliberately aimed at Osborne, a warning that rissa was betrothed,
engaged to another man.
Donna also felt that Osborne’s proactive actions against Raymond were for rissa; indicating he
still harbored. romantic feelings for her.
Therefore, she had to make Osborne give up.
By mentioning rissa’s Fiancé, she was issuing a warning to Osborne.
However, after she spoke, Osborne remained utterly calm, as if he hadn’t heard a word.
On the other hand, rissa clenched her fists tightly, and her pretty face turned pale.
Unbeknownst to Osborne, rissa was engaged to Apollo of the Chevalier family. It was a name he
hadn’t heard, though he was familiar with the family itself.
The Chevalier family was an ancient n no less potent than the Radcliffe family.
Chapter 140 Fiancé
In fact, the Chevalier family could be considered even more formidable!
Because the Radcliffes were in legitimate business, while the Chevaliers were involved in
everything, both legal and illegal

The Chevaliers controlled not only arge part of Skyefall’sw enforcement but also a third of the
city’s underground gangs, who were rumored to be secretly backed by the Chevaliers, paying them
annual tributes.
The Chevaliers‘ influence permeates both the legitimate and criminal worlds of Skyefall,, their roots
running deep like local
tyrants.
Even the Godfather, in terms of influence in Skyefall alone, cannotpare to the Chevaliers.
rissa engaged to Apollo of the Chevalier family!
Osborne admitted that he felt a bit uneasy, not because he had feelings for rissa but because he
had no fondness for the
Chevaliers.
The underground gangs in Mayby City were incredibly rampant, engaging in drug trafficking,
smuggling, kidnapping, gambling, and all sorts of illicit activities, making ordinary citizens like
Osborne detest them.
Yet, the Mayby Cityw enforcement never intervened.
Chapter 140 Fiancé
It was all because of the Chevalier family.
Naturally, Osborne harbored a deep dislike for them.

“Mom, why bring this up? rissa’s engagement to Apollo was just something from back then…”
“Shut up!”
Donna interrupted Barlyn. “No matter how the engagement came to be, it’s irreversible now, and we
must honor it!”
“rissa, only by contacting the Chevalier family and having them mobilizew enforcement and
the significant gangs can we quickly find Raymond.
“It’s for your safety, so you’ll have to contact them yourself.”
rissa took a deep breath and nodded.
Her face was as cold as ice.
“Alright, I’ll make the call for the Chevalier family to take

action.”
Saying this, rissa turned and left.
Osborne watched rissa’s retreating figure with surprise. He could clearly sense her anger and
helplessness. Her cold exterior was nothing but a facade.
Her cold demeanor was merely a facade.
Chapter 140 Fiancé
Osborne frowned but ultimately remained silent. It was, after all, a private matter for the Radcliffe
family, and he was merely the head of security.
As head of security, Osborne’s only responsibility was to protect rissa. He quickly followed after
her.
Donna watched the two leave, her expression shifting constantly. She murmured, “rissa, I hope
you don’t do anything foolish. There are some things you cannot fight against, even as the Radcliffe
family’s golden child.
“Being a Radcliffe descendant is your fortune, but also your misfortune.”
With a sigh, she finished speaking.
“Mom, why did you have to bring up Apollo’s name? You know that’s thest thing Cousin wants to
hear. Can’t you just not
mention it?!”
Barlyn was somewhat angry at this point.
Donna nced at him coldly and said indifferently, “What’s the use of not mentioning it?
“Apollo ising back soon!”
She finished speaking, and Barlyn froze.
He clenched his fists, his face darkening.

“Then rissa, she…”

Donna sighed, “This is her fate. Even as the Radcliffe family’s golden child, she cannot change this.
If we must me someone, we can only me ourselves for being too weak to protect her.”
Barlyn’s face darkened, but he couldn’t find any words to refute her.
“Barlyn, if you truly consider Osborne a friend…”
“He’s like a brother to me!” Barlyn interrupted.
Donna paused for a moment, seeing the sincerity in Barlyn’s eyes. She nodded and continued, “If
you consider him a brother, then you must warn him not to harbor any unrealistic fantasies about
rissa!
“You should know what kind of person Apollo is, and you should also see the power of the Chevalier
family. If Osborne dares to have any inappropriate thoughts about rissa, neither the Chevalier
family nor Apollo will let him off easily.
“It’ll be a gruesome end for him!
“In Skyefall, even The Aberrants have to resort to covert assassinations and sneak attacks, but if
the Chevalier family wants to kill someone, they’ll do it openly.
“Few people targeted by the Chevalier family survive.

“Don’t let Osborne seek his own death!”

After advising, Donna patted Barlyn on the shoulder. “Since you consider him a brother, don’t just
watch him walk towards his doom.”
With that, Donna turned and left.
Barlyn stood there, stunned, his expression frozen, taking a long time toe back to his senses.
Meanwhile, Osborne followed closely behind rissa.
It was his duty as the captain of the bodyguard team.
He could clearly sense the icy chill emanating from rissa. She had been like this ever since
Donna mentioned Apollo’s name.
“Wasn’t Apollo her Fiancé?
Why was she like this?”
Osborne was extremely curious. Unable to contain his curiosity, he lowered his voice and asked,
“Ms. Radcliffe, you seem to be troubled. Is there anything I can do to help?”
