Chapter 9 Die Together!
Osborne’s eyes were red.
If not for the Godfather’s test, he wouldn’t have dared to storm into Caldwell Manor alone.
And getting the Caldwell family to cough up $20 million?
That was a miracle! Even he couldn’t believe it!
Just hours ago, Ophelia had forced him to sign divorce. papers, had her bodyguards beat him up, and stripped him of everything.
But now, he had got the $20 million he deserved.
Most importantly, he passed the Godfather’s first heir test.
What would his reward be? Wealth? Power? Women? The renowned Godfather, his granddad, wouldn’t be stingy, right?
Now, Osborne just needed to leave safely and claim his reward.
He straightened up and headed for the door.
Ophelia and the others looked frustrated but didn’t stop him.
Suddenly, a woman in the crowd screamed, “Ophelia, stop him! We’ve been duped. That bastard’s bomb… it’s fake!”

Osborne’s face went pale, and he quickened his pace.
“Stop!” Ophelia shouted, her face dark with anger.
She looked at the woman speaking–a drop–dead gorgeous beauty in her twenties with striking features, a full chest, and killer curves.
That woman was Ophelia’s cousin, Penelope Caldwell.
“Ophelia, my brother just texted me. He saw Osborne sneaking into a hardware store. That loser made those fake bombs with scrap materials! He tried to scare us for money! Thank goodness my brother found out,” Penelope quickly explained.
“Ophelia, stop him before he escapes with the money!”
Ophelia’s face twisted with shock and rage. She glared at Osborne, gritting her teeth. “Osborne, you’re asking for trouble! You dared to use fake bombs to scare me? You almost got away
with it!”
With that, she ordered her bodyguards to act.
The Caldwell family was furious, glaring at Osborne like they wanted to tear him apart.
“This bastard almost swindled $20 million from us!”
“He deserves to die!”

“Kill him, make him disappear forever!”
They had been fearful of the bombs moments ago. Now, they all wanted Osborne dead.
Osborne took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
As the Caldwell family bodyguards closed in, he suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!”
“Osborne, what are you laughing at?” Ophelia frowned, confused.
Everyone else was puzzled too. “What’s this idiot laughing about? He got caught, and he still has the nerve to laugh?”
“Is he not afraid of dying?”
“Without the bomb threat, he’s not leaving here alive!”
“I’m laughing at how stupid you are!” Osborne sneered, ignoring their words.
“You loser, what did you say?”
“Osborne, how dare you do such a thing? We may have been married, but don’t think I won’t kill you,” Ophelia spat angrily.
“Idiot!”

Despite feeling Ophelia’s murderous intent, Osborne remained calm. He smirked, “Ophelia, Justin told you the bomb was fake to trick you. If you believe him and attack me, I’ll blow us all up without
hesitation!”
“If you die, the biggest winner is Justin Caldwell! He’ll take your place, become the new heir of the Caldwell family, and control its billions.”
Ophelia’s face changed instantly. Her beautiful features now showed uncertainty.
Was Justin deceiving her? Was Osborne’s bomb real? Was Justin planning to kill her and take her place as heir?
It seemed… possible!
The Caldwell family members were also filled with doubt.
Only Penelope didn’t believe a word Osborne said.
Seeing Ophelia waver, she urgently spoke up, “Osborne, you liar! Don’t think you can fool us again!”
“Justin couldn’t do that! If the bomb were real, would he risk killing his sister?”
Penelope’s words made Ophelia frown even more, filled with suspicion.
“Osborne, how do you explain this?”
