Chapter 20 Keeping a Low Profile

Ophelia was feeling extremely annoyed at that moment.

Her ex–husband, Osborne, whom she despised, had somehow become a VIP at Draco AuctionHouse and could use the

exclusive VIP lane 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. TheAshford family was more powerful than the Caldwell family and ranked among the top five elitefamilies in Mayby City.

The reason Ophelia divorced Osborne was to marry Wesley. Although she had no feelings forWesley, she didn’t mind this business alliance, as marrying Wesley would fortify the Caldwellfamily.

Wesley didn’t care that she had been married before because marrying her would also strengthenthe 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 can come directly to me. I have someinfluence 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.”

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

Wesley snorted, “A worthless commoner pretending to be a VIP of the Draco Group? No matterwhat 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 VIP lane. 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 speculating about my true identity.”

Debbe smiled faintly, “Mr. Augustine, you are the owner of the Draco Star Wristlet and a closeconfidant 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 inMayby 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 yourpromotion 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 become a big shot, hoping to be flattered and pleased by others. Itwas like those typical salespeople who would always title themselves as sales managers on theirbusiness cards.

Employees hoped others thought they were managers, managers hoped others thought they werethe boss, and bosses hoped others thought their companies were among the elite. Everyoneexaggerated 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 tooperate in Mayby City. All the influential families would have to curry favor with you,” Debbe askedin confusion.

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

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

Osborne smiled faintly and offered no explanation.

After experiencing the power of authority, he indeed felt exhilarated, but he didn’t lose hiscomposure, as he knew that

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

Furthermore, Osborne now only wanted to pass more successor

tests and secure higher authority to save Anastasia. He wasn’t interested in dealing with the flatteryand currying favor of the high society.

Since no one knew what his next successor test would be, he figured that if he was too high–profile,it might affect his ability to complete it. Therefore, he needed to stay low–key.

Although this might lead to more challenges and trouble for Osborne, keeping a low profile was stillthe better choice.

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

Soon after, Osborne arrived inside the auction house.

“Mr. Augustine, since you prefer to keep a low profile, I won’t accompany you. Besides, Ms.Radcliffe is about to arrive. She’s a distinguished guest, so I need to go attend to her,” Debbe saidand then turned to leave.

“Ms. Radcliffe?” Osborne repeated.
