Chapter 25


    Josefina rolled up to the farm on the west outskirts, which looked like any regr old farm but was


    actually her secretb in disguise. She tinkered away the whole afternoon and whipped up


    antidotes for Garrett, Hattie, and Clover.


    Percy watched Josefina work her magic with the meds and couldn’t help but moan, “Boss, can’t you


    leave some glory for the rest of us? You’re killing it! You make those medical profs look like


    amateurs.”


    Josefina packed up the antidote and said, “The next steps are on you. Whip up the meds and hit me


    up when you’re done. Then I’ll swing by for the experiments.”


    Percy nodded like a bobblehead. “You got it. I’ll buzz you the second I’ve got news.”


    Luke strolled in and announced, “Boss,st month’s earnings were transferred to your bank


    ount. If Billy knew he was duped and treated trash like treasure, he’d probably puke his guts


    out.”


    Percy scoffed, “Serves him right! If it weren’t for you constantly cleaning up his messes, his


    company would’ve gone belly-up ages ago. Now he’s crossed you, so bankruptcy is just desserts!”


    Josefina looked up. “Billy’s bankrupt?”


    Luke replied, “He’s on the brink. Your father got involved. And after you pulled your cob from his


    company, given his track record, you think he can turn things around?”


    Percy chimed in, “It’s high time Billy realized who’s the real lucky charm in the Antonio family!”


    Josefina couldn’t help but chuckle at their banter, and with a smile, she said, “Alright, I’m outta


    here.”


    She drove off and made it back home by five in the afternoon. As soon as she stepped in, Josefina


    caught Lena and Hattie’sughter echoing from the living room — a heartwarming mother-daughter


    moment if there ever was one.


    Josefina walked in. Her glowing skin and delicate features exuded the unmistakable aura of the


    Harrison family’s heiress.


    The servants greeted her with utmost respect, “Wee back, Miss.” The title “Miss” made Lena’s


    face flicker. She felt like she’d been pricked in the heart.


    Lena stepped forward with a smile stered on her face. “Wee home, Josefina.”


    Josefina nodded and made a beeline for Hattie. “Heard you’re fond of chestnut pastries, so I picked


    some up for you on my way.”


    Hattie’s face lit up with joy as she looked at Josefina even more fondly. “Thanks, Josie.”


    “No worries,” Josefina replied, taking a seat next to her with a gentle smile.


    Lena clenched her fists, feeling like Josefina was finding ways to embarrass her. She’d rushed back


    from abroad without bringing any gifts for the family, yet Josefina managed to bring Hattie a treat.


    Lena moved over to sit by Hattie’s side and, with a grin glued to her face and phone in hand, she


    said, “I feel bad. I was so eager to get home and I didn’t know you’d be back, so I didn’t get you


    anything. How about I send you some money to wee you home?”

    Josefina opened her payment code on her phone and held it out to Lena. “Thanks.”


    Lena was stunned. Was Josefina actually going for it?


    Disdain and contempt filled Lena’s eyes, though she maintained her cheerful facade. “My pleasure.”


    Josefina’s lips curled into a sweet smile. “I just got two-million, and now Lena here wants to send


    me one too. Wow, I’m gonna be rich.”


    Lena, who was about to send Josefina a measly ten grand, felt speechless.


    Oh, how she seethed with regret! Why did she have to run her mouth like that!


    She desperately wanted to smack herself. She never actually intended to send Josefina money.


    She was sure Josefina would be too embarrassed to ept, but who knew Josefina could be so


    shamelessly thick-skinned!
