Chapter 18 Throw Them Out
The security personnel heard this and immediately nodded. politely to Osborne. “Honored guest, we wouldn’t dare. Your identity is unquestionable.”
Once they finished speaking, both Justin and Penelope were dumbfounded, wondering, “What’s going on?
What kind of trick did that good–for–nothing Osborne use to not even question his identity?
Are we still asleep and dreaming?
Isn’t Osborne just an orphan, a commoner? The highlight of his life was marrying Ophelia and living with the Caldwell family for those three years.
Even we, the Caldwell family heirs, have to line up to get in. Why does Osborne get to use the VIP lane?”
Justin was indignant and determined to expose Osborne.
He even suspected that Osborne must have bribed the security personnel.
“Where is your supervisor? I want to file a complaint!” Justin shouted. “You must have taken his bribe. I want to report him. Bring your supervisor here.”

Just then, a tall, middle–aged woman walked over. “What’s all this commotion at the VIP lane? Do you realize you could disturb the guests?” She demanded sharply, exuding an overwhelming
presence.
Justin was delighted when he saw her and said, “Ms. Lewis, you’re here just in time. I’m Justin from the Caldwell family. I want to report this imposter. He’s just a worthless nobody pretending to be a VIP to sneak into the event.”
The other Caldwell family members also chimed in mockingly.
“Ms. Lewis, the manager of Draco Auction House, is here. Osborne is done for! He can buy off the security, but not Ms. Lewis!”
“Osborne is really in for it now, pretending to be a VIP.”
“Do you think he’ll get his legs broken?”
The Caldwell family members eagerly anticipated Osborne’s true identity being exposed and him getting a severe lesson. Even Ms. Lewis couldn’t help but frown as she looked at Osborne.
Then, she noticed the Draco Star Wristlet on Osborne’s wrist. Her eyes widened in shock, and she hurried over to him.
She respectfully nodded at Osborne and said, “Honored guest, why didn’t you let us know you were coming? We could have made arrangements in advance. I apologize for inconvenience caused by these irrelevant people.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding area suddenly fell into complete silence, so silent that one could even hear a pin drop.
It wasn’t only the Caldwell family members. People from other prominent families were also staring at Osborne in disbelief.
Who was this Ms. Lewis? Her name was Debbe Lewis, and she was the manager of Draco Auction House. Even within the Draco Group, she was considered a mid–level executive.
In Mayby City, even the heads of noble families had to show her respect. There might be a few people she personally attended to, but none who received such a respectful greeting. Not even the city’s executive officer or heirs of prominent families could command such respect from her.
Yet now, Debbe was actually nodding politely to Osborne.
Someone in the crowd asked, “Who is he exactly?”
“Could there really be someone this significant in Mayby City?” Another questioned in astonishment.
Everyone was utterly shocked, their eyes fixed intently on Osborne. They were already determined to form a connection
with him.
The Caldwell family was left feeling awkward, glancing at each other in bewilderment.
They wondered, “Isn’t Osborne just an ordinary man? Isn’t he at ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

useless nobody? Why on earth is this happening?”
Even Ophelia, who had been silent all this time, now looked utterly baffled and at a loss.
She knew Osborne better than anyone else. He was an orphan with no background. His only relative was a terminally ill sister.
Ophelia then inwardly questioned what right Osborne had to make Debbe nod politely.
Even as the Caldwell family’s successor, it was hard for her to get a word with Debbe, let alone make her nod politely.
Ophelia insisted, “Something is definitely wrong here!”
She refused to believe that Osborne had a secret, powerful background. She was sure he was pretending to be someone else.
With this in mind, Ophelia stepped forward and said, “Hello Ms. Lewis, I’m Ophelia, the heir to the Caldwell family. I can assure you that Osborne is just a commoner. There’s no way he is a VIP. He could be pretending to be someone else.”
After Debbe heard that, her expression turned grim. “Are you saying that I can’t even tell who my VIP guests are?”
Ophelia was startled and wanted to say more, but Evelyn held her back.
Evelyn shook her head at Ophelia, who ultimately said nothing
more.

Justin, however, was not willing to give up and angrily said, “Ms. Lewis, just a simple check of his identity will clear everything up.”
“Who are you to investigate my VIP guest? Do you have a death wish?” Debbe spoke menacingly, sending a chill down his spine.
But the next second, she put on a warm smile and respectfully said to Osborne, “Honored guest, I apologize for the inconvenience. How would you like me to handle them?”
He couldn’t help but laugh at her words.
Osborne then looked disdainfully at Justin and replied calmly, “I don’t like this bastard. I don’t want to see him at the auction. Throw him out.
“Oh, and his sister too.”
After Osborne finished speaking, Debbe nodded respectfully and immediately instructed the security personnel, “Hurry now. Throw them out. Don’t let them upset our guests.
“If they dare to resist, break their legs!”
With that, Debbe glanced over at Ophelia and the others before. menacingly saying, “And if any of you dares to question the guest’s identity, you’ll end up like them!
“Now, get back in line all of you!”
