Chapter 23
Josefina caught a glimpse of Hattie''s jittery expression and decided to y it cool, shing a smile
and saying, "You''re the picture of health! Actually, your body''s clocking in younger than your actual
age. You''ve been taking good care of yourself."
Truth be told, Hattie had toxins in her system, the same toxins Josefina''s grandma had. Josefina
hadn''t seen iting. This person was out to harm not just Grandma but also the other members of
the Harrison family.
It left Josefina wondering if Lena had this poison in her, too.
It wasn''t that Josefina wanted to doubt Lena, bute on, being a doctor and all, was she totally
clueless about Granny and the family''s condition?
It looked like it was time to give the Harrison household staff and security a thorough once-over.
Hattie was over the moon with thepliment, beaming, "Josie, thanks for the sweet talk. I gotta
step up her game and keep looking after herself. I need to spend more time with my darling
daughter."
Josefina just gave a slight smile and kept on eating.
After breakfast, Josefina waved off Hattie and Garrett''s offer to hang out as she was nning to hit
the road solo. She still had to check if theb gear was all in order.
Hattie whipped out her phone, and soon enough, Josefina heard the sweet melody of a whopping
million-dor notification on PayPal.
Josefina thought she misheard.
With a loving air, Hattie told her, "Josie, since you wanna go out alone, I sent you some pocket
change. Treat yourself to whatever you fancy."
A million dors for pocket change? Josefina was shocked.
Garrett was quick to follow suit, also sending over a cool million. "Josie, this is just a little something
from me. Keep it for spending money."
The adoring looks from both parents were almost too much for Josefina to handle. She wasing
from the cold stares she was used to with the Antonio family to being back with her own flesh and
blood and feeling her parents'' love. It was like a warm hug to her heart.
"Thanks." Josefina''s cheeks flushed as she bolted out the door.
Watching his daughter''s shy escape, Garrett''s handsome andposed face cracked into an
indulgent smile. "Babe, our girl''s just like you, easily embarrassed."
Hattie yfully chided, "Josie''s so darn cute. Thinking about all she''s been through, my heart just
aches. Garrett, don''t forget to send the money for the gifts to Oliver. Josie''s our daughter, and we
can afford to spoil her with whatever she wants. There''s no need for outsiders to step in."
"Right, you are, babe. I''ll call the secretary this instant and have him deliver the check to Oliver''s
office."
...
Meanwhile, Oliver sat in his car, a cool edge to his handsome face, while his jittery secretary
reported to him. "Oliver, the Harrison family''s secretary, brought over a check. They said it''s for the
presents you bought for Ms. Josefina."
The secretary was on pins and needles, worried Oliver might blow his top. He was also quite taken
aback – who in Westwood would turn down a gift from Oliver? Ms. Josefina was truly one of a kind.
Oliver''s lips curved slightly, his voice deep and maic. "Tell the Harrison family''s secretary to
take the check to Mr. Robert."
At a red light, the secretary blurted out, "Oliver, isn''t that Ms. Josefina? You two must be fated."
Oliver turned his head, his dark eyes falling on the girl outside. She was in grey sportswear, with her
hair up in a bun. She looked refreshing, crisp, stunning, and badass.
Two guys started heading her way, dressed casually, looking like they were up to no good, straight
out of a gang or something.
The guy with an earring in his left ear tried to throw his arm around Josefina''s shoulder. He was just
about to speak when he got flipped over someone''s shoulder and mmed hard onto the ground.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
