The Godfather had just bestowed upon him the incredible title of heir to an ancient family.
He thought, “Dampston’s Augustine family? I’ve never even heard of them.

If I can just complete that trial, I will finally meet the Godfather face–to–face!
And if I can tackle the sixth trial, I’ll have the chance to get Anastasia into the Godfather’s cutting– edge medical lab to cure her mysterious
As Osborne clenched his fists, determination ignited in his eyes.
He thought, “So I’m an heir to an ancient family now? But how do I even contact Dampston’s Augustine family? Will they even recognize me as one of their own!
Dampton is just east of Skyefall, not too far from Mayby City. A few hours by ear. If I have some time, I should check it out.”
With that thought in mind, be set aside his concerns for the moment.
Osborne had arrived at the Radcliffe Manor and felt a strong urge to see Clarissa. Just one hour apart felt like too long; he missed her already,

He thought, “Could it be that a bigwig from the Radcliffe family is visiting? Who could it be? Clarissa’s father? Or maybe her grandfather?”
Osborne’s heart raced with concerns.
Just when he had publicly declared his relationship with Clarissa, the Radcliffe family had a high– profile guest arriving. This definitely wan’t good news for him

But no matter what, Osborse had made up his mind to face whatever came next alongside her. He wouldn’t shy away; he would confront it head–on.
With that resolve, Osborne strode purposefully toward the main house.
Inside, Clarissa stood in the living room, biting her lip as she gazed defiantly at a tall figure not far away. Her eyes were filled with stubbornness and determination.
“Dad, please just go home! I won’t break up with Osbome! I won’t leave with you!
“My life is
is my own to decide! You don’t need to interfere!”
“How dare you!”
The man storming in was none other than her father, Dylan Radcliffe, the head of the Radcliffe family.
He glared at her, his voice icy as he barked, “I’m your father! I’m also the head of the Radcliffe family. Why shouldn’t I have a say in your life?
“I say it again! You and Osborne are not possible! Not a single soul in the Radcliffe family or The Wise Order approves of this. You need to end this ridiculous obsession right now and leave with me – permanently cut ties with Osborne!

“Listen, Clarissa is your daughter. You should respect her choices instead of treating her like property to be bartered.”
Clarisan looked at her aunt with gratitude shimmering in her eyes. “Aunt Donna!”
But Dylan scoffed, saying, “You, too? You’re siding with this spoiled brat? Do you even grasp the gravity of this situation? Clarissa doesn’t understand her own predicament.
