Chapter 10 Confront Him
Osborne was calm now. He looked at Ophelia and said, “What do I need to explain? Why Justin would kill his sister? Come on, in a wealthy family like the Caldwells, is there really any loyalty?”
“Compared to a billion dollars, what’s a sister worth? Would you refuse?”
Hearing that, Ophelia’s face darkened.
Penelope was stunned, doubt crept onto her face.
Could Justin really be using Osborne’s bomb to kill Ophelia, even if it meant taking her down too?
“No way! You’re still trying to fool us. That bomb has to be fake!” Penelope insisted.
“Penelope, don’t be naive! If Justin is sure the bomb is fake, why didn’t he come himself? Why use you?” Osborne’s eyes flashed coldly. “Because he’s scared! He’s afraid I’ll blow us all up!”
Everyone fell silent, deep in thought. Osborne’s words started to make sense.
Doubt began to spread. They started to suspect Justin.
Even if the bomb was fake, they’d just kill Osborne and get back
their $20 million.
But if it was real? They’d all die!
The gamble wasn’t worth it.
Penelope, her face red with anger, said, “You’re lying! Justin would never harm me! I’ll video call him right now, and you can confront him!”
“Osborne, you’re about to get exposed!”
Then, she pulled out her phone and quickly set up a video call.
Soon, Justin’s handsome face appeared on the screen, with a terrified, bruised middle–aged man next to him–the hardware
store owner.
Justin, looking calm, yanked the owner’s hair and smiled, “Tell them what Osborne did in your shop. No lies, or it’ll be bad for you.”
The owner, shaking with fear, nodded quickly. “I’ll tell, I’ll tell.”
Terrified, he detailed how Osborne used his tools and scrap materials to make fake bombs. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
His story was so precise, it didn’t sound made up.
When he finished, Justin looked smugly at Ophelia.
“Ophelia, how could you be so dumb? You got tricked by a loser

“You almost cost the family $20 million. I’m telling The Wise Order. They’ll punish you.”

Justin sneered. He always thought he was the best–handsome, Ivy League–educated, and favored by The Wise Order. He should’ve been the heir, not Ophelia.
When he found out Ophelia’s ex tried to extort $20 million, he saw his chance. Proving the bomb was fake would save the family and carn him praise. Ophelia would be punished, and they might reconsider her as the heir.
Excited, Justin shouted, “Ophelia, the truth’s out. Are you just gonna let that loser get away?”
“Are you really gonna cost us $20 million? Do you even deserve to be the heir?”
Hearing that, Ophelia’s face darkened.
How dare Justin want to report her and say she doesn’t deserve to be the heir? He was ambitious!
Now she believed Osborne.
“Justin, shut up! I know your plan to use Osborne to kill me.”
Justin froze. “What… what’s going on?”
Penelope jumped in, “Justin, Osborne said you lied! He said it’s

your plot to use his bomb to kill us all, and then you can get a
billion dollars!”
“Tell me it’s not true, right?”
Justin’s face turned dark. He glared at Osborne, “You sneaky loser! Can’t believe you’re good at making up stories!”
