Chapter 7 The Final Leverage
“Wait, I’m letting her go!”
Just as Ophelia finished her countdown, about to order the shooting, Osborne took a deep breath and released Evelyn.
His eyes, filled with madness, locked onto Ophelia. “Ophelia, tell your people to leave the hospital right now. If Anastasia gets so much as a scratch, you’ll all pay with your lives.”
Ophelia sneered in response.
Seeing Evelyn free, she said coldly, “You think you can bargain. with me?
“Your life is in my hands!”
With a wave of her hand, she ordered, “Get him! If he resists, shoot him!”
Her dozen or so bodyguards moved swiftly upon her command.
Grins of contempt adorned their faces as they stormed up the stairs, closing in on Osborne in no time.
But then, unexpectedly, Osborne chuckled.
Ophelia taunted, “What’s so funny? You’re about to die!”

“I’m laughing because you’re celebrating too soon,” Osborne said.
Under everyone’s gaze, he suddenly tore open his coat.
“Ophelia, take a good look at this!
“Go ahead, order them to shoot!
“Come on!”
At his fierce shout, Ophelia scoffed, “I told you, no matter what tricks you have left, today you’re…
Her words faltered as she stared in shock and fear at Osborne’s
body.
Everyone from the Caldwell family now wore expressions of horror, backing away with terror, as if Osborne had turned into
a monster.
Panic spread among them all.
Osborne’s body was covered in rows of homemade explosives.
He was a walking bomb!
And in his right hand, he held a remote control, his finger hovering over a menacing red button.
Ophelia gasped, her body going cold with shock.

Osborne saw her fear and smirked knowingly. “Ophelia, the explosives strapped to me could turn my body into shreds or bring down this entire villa to rubble.
“None of you will survive! I might be just a poor man, but having you noble members join me in death seems fitting!”
Osborne’s words sent a chill through everyone present.
Ophelia shrieked in disbelief, “Osborne, you’re insane! Where did you get all these explosives?”
In Rosmandi, guns were everywhere, easily bought with money.
But high–grade explosives were tightly controlled.
Even for a wealthy family like the Caldwells, obtaining them was nearly impossible.
So, Ophelia never expected Osborne to show up at the manor rigged with explosives.
Osborne spoke coldly, his resolve unwavering, “Ophelia, I’ve made myself clear. I didn’t come here today expecting to leave alive. If I can’t get my fair share in the divorce settlement, then we’ll all go down together.”
With that, he suddenly moved forward. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He approached one of the guards, who held a gun but dared not use it. As Osborne approached, sweat formed on the guard’s face, his hands trembling on the weapon.

Osborne chuckled darkly, disarming the guard without
resistance.
The man feared any sudden move could set off the explosives.
If they detonated at this range, there would be nothing left of him.
Helplessly, he watched as Osborne seized the gun and brutally struck him on the forehead with the bull.
The guard’s head split open, blood streaming as he cried out and collapsed to the ground.
Osborne looked down at him, his voice cutting. “Just hours ago, at the Caldwell Tower, it was you who smashed my head with that gun butt, wasn’t it?
“Now, how does it feel to have your head cracked open by a gun butt?
“Enjoying it?”
Osborne’s declaration hung in the tense air as he delivered a fierce kick to the guard’s face, shattering his nose and rendering him unconscious.
He turned to the surrounding guards, all of whom had once laid hands on him, beaten his body, and trampled his dignity.
Fear now filled their eyes.

Without hesitation, Osborne swung the gun’s butt again, knocking down another guard, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks.
Soon, all the guards who had assaulted him earlier were sprawled on the ground, bloodied and broken.
Ophelia could only watch in shock.
She stared at Osborne, now transformed into a relentless force, a stark contrast to the timid man she thought she knew.
Today, he was fearless, powerful, and unstoppable!
“Stop!” Ophelia finally managed to shout over the chaos.
“Osborne, I know you. You won’t go down with us! You’ve had your revenge. That’s enough!”
Osborne wiped the bloody gun with a grim determination. “My dear ex–wife, are you really sure you know me?”
