rissa’s body jolted, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She turned to Osborne, lightly biting her lips, and asked with a touch of displeasure, “Could you
stop calling me Ms. Radcliffe, Osborne? Ever since you saved me fifteen years ago, I’ve considered
you the dearest person to me.
“Even though you’re my chief bodyguard, I’ve never seen you as just an employee. But you keep
addressing me as Ms. Radcliffe, which upsets me.”
“Really? You’re upset because of this?” Osborne awkwardly touched his nose. He had assumed
that rissa was upset because of her fiancé, but now he saw he had misunderstood.
rissa parted her lips as if to say something but ended up saying nothing. She then took a deep
breath as if to calm herself.
She responded, “Yes, I’m upset because of that. So, can you call me something else?”
Osborne smiled awkwardly, “What should I call you? I’m worried Ms. Donna Radcliffe might not be
happy if I don’t call you Ms. Radcliffe.”
“Why should you care about her?” rissa raised her voice. “This is between you and me. Aunt
Donna has no say in it! From now on, just call me rissa.”

Osborne hesitated for a moment but then nodded. “Alright,
rissa.”

rissa’s face then instantly lit up with a dazzling smile, making the vibrant flowers in the garden
seem faded and dull in her
presence.
Osborne found himself staring again. He couldn’t deny that he indeed liked her, although his
feelings for her were mostly driven by her beauty. She was simply too stunning.
As he gazed at rissa’s face, he couldn’t help but feel his heart racing uncontrobly.
When she sensed Osborne’s intense gaze on her, her cheeks turned rosy, but instead of disliking it,
she felt a thrill of joy. She didn’t shy away from his intense look but met it earnestly.
rissa’s expression seemed filled with aplex array of
emotions.
Soon after, an odd and ambiguous tension began to build
between them.
Just then, a light cough sounded, disrupting the tension between them.
rissa, like a startled rabbit, quickly averted her

Osborne, on the other hand, touched his nose awkwardly, still

“You should go take a break, Osborne,” Donna said calmly. “rissa isn’t leaving the manor
anytime soon. Just make sure the bodyguards are well–organized. You don’t need to follow her all
the time. After all, you’re a man. It’s enough for her to have me by her side.”
Osborne detected a cold edge in her tone.
After a moment of hesitation, he nodded. “Alright. I’ll organize the bodyguard team well. If anything
comes up, Ms. Donna Radcliffe, you can contact me, and I’lle back right away.” With that, he
turned and walked away.
After learning that rissa was engaged, Osborne finally understood why Donna was wary of him,
worried that he might have ulterior motives toward rissa.
Since Donna didn’t want him to apany rissa, he dly took the opportunity to rest.
Osborne, having organized the bodyguards, promptly left Radcliffe Manor and headed back to the
Institute of Human Research to see how Anastasia was doing.
Upon seeing that Anastasia was doing well under Isa’s care, Osborne felt relieved, thinking Isa was
as reliable as ever.
If it hadn’t been for Isa’s help, he wouldn’t have easilypleted the third sessor test.
Therefore, he thought, “I should find an opportunity to thank her properly.”

When Isa came to mind, Osborne suddenly recalled theirst kiss. He then couldn’t help but touch
his lips, savoring the
memory.
He muttered to himself, “Back then, Isa had said that I could buy her for 100 million dors and
have her do anything I wanted. And I actually turned it down? If I had known, I would have taken the
offer. Now hiring her for just one job costs 20 million dors, and that’s even at a friend’s rate.”
Osborne sighed with a rueful smile, regretting his decision. The most frustrating part was that
spending 20 million dors was just for hiring her help. It didn’t cover anything else. It indeed was a
huge loss.
He then understood why Isa had said back then that he would surely regret itter. Now, even if he
wanted to spend 10 billion dors to buy her, it would be out of the question.
Osborne regretted it because Isa was not only a reliable partner and a powerful ally but also a very
attractive woman.
Now that he thought about it, 100 million dors seemed too low for her worth, and he might even
be willing to pay 10 billion
dors.
Osborne quickly shook his head, pushing the idea out of his mind.
“I wonder when my fourth sessor’s test will begin,” he murmured.

The next second, his Draco Star Wristlet started vibrating. His expression shifted, thinking it was the
start of his fourth
sessor’s test.

Osborne hurriedly checked, only to find it was a video call. He wondered, “A strange number is
video calling me through the Draco Star Wristlet?”
With that in mind, his expression turned serious, and he quickly clicked to ept the call. The next
second, an elderly figure appeared on the screen, sitting on a cushy gray sofa and cradling a jet–
ck cat. The person had his hair slicked back and was donned in a ck suit with a ck bow tie,
looking every bit the gentleman.
The person was none other than the Godfather. Osborne’s biological grandfather, the Godfather,
had contacted Osborne once again.
