Chapter 23 The Second Successor’s Trial
Wesley was stunned, thinking he must have misheard.
“Have you lost your mind, Osborne?! If you dare to squander money at the auction, I won’t let you off!” Ophelia suddenly snapped. Osborne had extorted 20 million dollars from the Caldwell family, and she was still figuring out how to get it back. She didn’t want Osborne spending that money here.
Osborne, however, ignored her and asked calmly, “You surely are not too scared to accept, right, Mr. Ashford?”
Wesley sneered, “I’m scared? As if!”
He then raised his voice and declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, please bear witness. This peasant dares to challenge me to a spending contest at the auction. Whoever spends the least has to submit to the other.”
At that, the crowd erupted in laughter.
“A commoner challenging Mr. Ashford to a spending contest? Isn’t that just asking for humiliation!”
“Alright, we’ll bear witness for you!”
With a look of triumph, Wesley sneered, “Loser, I’ll soon show
you just how big the gap between US IS.
“Don’t compare your entire fortune to my pocket money because you can’t! To me, you are just a penniless loser!” He was sure he would win.
Just then, a sudden commotion broke out around them, and everyone quickly turned their heads toward the VIP entrance, paying no more attention to Osborne and Wesley.
“Ms. Radcliffe is here!”
“Hello, Ms. Radcliffe!”
“Ms. Radcliffe, you look even more stunning.”
Even Wesley and Ophelia couldn’t focus on Osborne anymore. They both looked thrilled and rushed over to offer greetings.
Osborne was curious and turned to look as well. Then, he was stunned.
A beautiful silhouette had come into view, stepping out from the VIP lane.
It was a girl around twenty years old. She was tall and graceful, with glossy hair and eyes that sparkled like stars, bright and
brilliant.
The girl’s nose was straight and elegant, her lips full and rosy, exuding a distant coolness. Her skin was smooth and delicate, flawless like porcelain.

She was dressed in a luxurious gown, and she carried herself with a noble and composed grace.
In short, this girl was not only stunningly beautiful, but her innate nobility made her seem to glow.
Osborne’s ex–wife Ophelia was also a beautiful woman, but compared to this girl, it was like comparing a firefly to the radiant moon.
He didn’t know why, but the moment he saw her, his heart started to race wildly.
As Osborne stared at the girl, he was momentarily lost in thought.
In fact, he wasn’t the only one reacting this way. Most of the men around, regardless of age, were just as mesmerized, if not more. The girl was simply too dazzling and beautiful.
Right then, the Draco Star Wristlet on Osborne’s wrist suddenly buzzed, bringing him out of his daze with an incoming message.
He glanced down and was immediately surprised as the message read: [The second successor’s trial has begun!]
Osborne didn’t expect the second successor’s trial to start at this moment. He quickly clicked open the message to check the details of the trial. Then, he was stunned.
The message read: [Within three days, you must get close to
Chapter 23 The Second Successor’s Trial Clarissa, the chosen one of the prominent Radcliffe family, and stay by her side.]
After reading the trial details, Osborne couldn’t help but take a sharp breath and look at the dazzling girl.
He had gathered from others that she was Clarissa Radcliffe, the legitimate heiress of the prominent Radcliffe family and the most beautiful woman in Mayby City.
Osborne pondered, “Did Godfather say she is the chosen one of the Radcliffe family? What does that mean? Moreover, he actually wants me to get close to Clarissa and even stay by her side? And the trial period is only three days?”
He then couldn’t help but frown.

This trial didn’t seem as dangerous as the first one, difficulty gave Osborne a headache, as Clarissa’s status was just too high.
She was a true VIP of the Draco Group, personally accompanied by Debbe, and entered through the VIP lane.
While other people’s bodyguards had to stay outside, Clarissa had a large team of bodyguards with her.
As soon as she appeared, all the big shots present, whether heads of noble families or leaders of major corporations, scrambled to surround her with flattery.
Clarissa’s team of bodyguards kept everyone at a distance.

She remained aloof in the face of everyone’s flattery, her expression as cold as that of a proud princess, keeping people at a distance.
“Is a legitimate heiress of a prominent family truly this dignified?” Osborne muttered.
He then saw Wesley and Ophelia, successors to noble families themselves, also trying to talk to Clarissa, but they were rudely pushed away by her bodyguards. They didn’t even dare to get angry because the difference in their statuses was too vast.
Wesley and Ophelia, who had been so proud in front of Osborne, now appeared humble and insignificant before Clarissa.
Even after being rudely pushed away, they still kept smiling.
