“Yeah?”
1/6
Osborne didn’t say anything else. He looked at Paul deeply and looked away.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Countless footsteps were heard, and a group of bodyguards dressed in the Radcliffe family security uniforms appeared and quickly surrounded the area.
Donna was also among them. When she saw Clarissa
unconscious and being held in Osborne’s arms, her expression changed immediately.
“Clarissa!”
Donna nervously took Clarissa away from Osborne and was relieved when she found out that Clarissa had just passed out because of fatigue.
She looked at Paul and asked, “What happened? How did she faint?”
Paul reacted quickly and started his story.
“Here is what happened…”
Chapter 60 A Spy
In Paul’s narration, there was little content about Osborne saving Clarissa. It was all about himself – things like how he acted bravely and protected Clarissa at all costs.
Osborne, instead, became the drag.

Paul said Clarissa fainted because Osborne was not strong enough to deal with the enemy’s attack, forcing Clarissa to use her powers to save Osborne again and again and recover from his injuries.
“This is what happened. This is also my fault. Osborne was unwilling to cover us, so I had to do it myself and asked Osborne to take Ms. Radcliffe to the safe house. However, there were enemies hiding near the safe house, and I was stopped by the
gunmen.
“If I were here, those enemies wouldn’t be able to hurt Ms. Radcliffe at all, and she wouldn’t have fainted.”
Paul said this with an apologetic look on his face, and then he looked at Osborne threateningly.
Donna’s expression relaxed, and she looked at Osborne. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Osborne, is he telling the truth?”
Osborne laughed, not caring about Paul’s threat nor seeking credit for what he had done.
“You can ask everything after Ms. Radcliffe wakes up. But…”
Chapter 60 A Spy
Osborne pointed at Paul all of a sudden.
“I have already reminded him that enemies were lying in ambush, but he did not listen and insisted on bringing Ms. Radcliffe here. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that he is in cahoots with the killers! Maybe he is a spy!”
Silence fell after Osborne finished his sentences.
Then all the Radcliffe family bodyguards present burst into laughter as if they had heard a joke.
Even Donna shook her head, not knowing what to say.
Paul looked at Osborne with disdain and snorted coldly.
Osborne frowned. He was confused by their reaction.
What was going on?
“No matter what, you were part of protecting Clarissa. I will not forget your contribution. I now declare that you can stay in the Radcliffe family and be Clarissa’s bodyguard.
“But, you said that Captain Paul was a spy. That’s too much! Others may be spies, but not him. He will never betray the Radcliffe family.”
Donna waved her hand without giving Osborne a chance to continue speaking.
“Well, the enemy has retreated, but there are still many things to
deal with! These two, Wesley and Ophelia, are dying…
“Ophelia is dying?”
Osborne was stunned, and complicated feelings flooded his heart.
When the attack happened, a metahuman controlled lightning to bombard the platform. Although Ophelia and Wesley were not hit directly, they were both ordinary people and were seriously injured and fainted in an instant.
If Wesley died, Osborne would not feel anything, and might even think that he deserved it.
But Ophelia…
.She was his ex–wife.
They were a couple once. Although Ophelia divorced him. because of her ambition and even looked down on him and treated him as if he was garbage.
But that didn’t mean he wanted to watch her meet her end.
Hearing that she was going to die, Osborne couldn’t help but sigh.
“Let me take a look at her for the last time.”
Not long after, Osborne saw Ophelia.

Ophelia was lying on the ground. Her pretty face was sickly pale. Blood was oozing from her ears and nose, and she was barely breathing.
The Radcliffe family’s doctor had examined her, and there was
no need for emergency treatment.
“Is she going to die just like that?”
Osborne murmured, feeling the fragility of life for the first time.
“I can save her.”
At this moment, a weak voice sounded from behind.
Osborne turned his head and saw Clarissa come with Donna. Donna was helping her walk.
Though Clarissa still looked weak, she almost recovered.
“Clarissa, you have overused your powers. It is not appropriate to use them at this time! Their injuries are too severe. Forcibly treating them will be harmful to you,” Donna said with a frown.
“They are just two heirs to wealthy families. I will give their families sufficient compensation on behalf of the Radcliffe family.”
Clarissa shook her head and ignored Donna. Instead, she said to Osborne, “Os… Mr. Augustine, they came with you. Do you want me to save them?”
Chapter 60 A Spy
Clarissa almost called out his name.
Fortunately, she reacted in time and prevent others from
knowing anything.
Osborne was shocked.
Was there still hope for Ophelia?
Could Clarissa’s special power save them?
Did he want Clarissa to save her?
