Chapter 59


    Ruby watched the overly confident Josefina and raised her voice slightly, saying, "Josefina, stop


    messing around. It''ll be embarrassing when the managerester."


    Xavier chimed in with a smirk, "Ruby, don''t waste your breath on her. What can a fake heiress do,


    anyway? It''s not like she''s the one signing the checks here."


    Josefina''s lips curled into a smug smile as she gave Xavier a top-to-bottom once-over. He stepped


    back and said, "What are you looking at? Keep dreaming, sweetheart, you can''t have this."


    Just then, the manager approached. As everyone braced for Josefina''s humiliation, the manager


    bowed deeply and said, "Miss, why didn''t you let me know you wereing? I would have rolled


    out the red carpet for you at the entrance."


    What! Rolling out the red carpet for her? Who was the manager talking to?


    Xavier and Ruby nced around, searching for some elusive VIP, pointedly ignoring the obvious -


    Josefina.


    Sensing their confusion, the manager walked straight up to Josefina and bowed once more, "Miss,


    how may I assist you today?"


    Nonchntly, Josefina eyed the jewelry on disy, "Just browsing, nothing special."


    Stunned silence enveloped Xavier and Ruby. Could Josefina actually be the owner of the shop?


    Xavier, feeling his pride slip, quickly tried to regain hisposure. He grabbed Ruby''s hand, "Ruby,


    let''s check out the goldsmith next door. Gold always looks good on a beauty like you." Ruby


    nodded, relieved to have an escape.


    But as they turned to leave, Josefina''s voice casually floated over, "The shop next door is mine as


    well."


    Xavier and Ruby were speechless. They then considered visiting the luxury watch store further


    down, but before they could make a move, Josefina preempted their thoughts, "That one''s mine


    too."


    The crowd was dumbfounded.


    Ruby''s face flushed with a whirlwind of emotions, while Xavier struggled to reconcile this new image


    of Josefina with the country girl Ruby had described.


    Josefina''s natural elegance and poise shone through, her confidence undeniable. Could she really


    be just a gold-digger from the country? Doubt crept into Xavier''s mind. Had Ruby lied to him?


    Ruby, grasping the gravity of the situation, inhaled deeply and forced calmness into her voice, "This


    is your store? And you can afford everything in that goldsmith''s?"


    The onlookers had their moment of realization. Was this woman putting on airs?

    Xavier suddenly realized that a sugarbaby could im the shop as hers if it belonged to her sugar


    daddy. Josefina herself definitely didn''t have any money.


    The manager, standing by, chimed in, "Since ourdy owns these establishments, she undoubtedly


    has the means to procure their wares. But why should she prove anything to you?" After all, the


    daughter of a billionaire wouldn''t fret over petty cash. These people were just setting themselves up


    for embarrassment.


    Josefina gazed at Ruby and leaned in close to her ear, whispering softly, "Ruby, how well are you


    making use of stolen stuff ?"


    Ruby''s heart suddenly raced, filled with unease. She clung to Xavier, ying the victim, "Xavier,


    she''s insulting me."


    As Xavier was about to defend Ruby, a new presencemanded the room.


    "Josie."


    A voice as rich as velvet caressed the ears of all present. A man with a powerful aura approached,


    nked by four bodyguards and an assistant.


    Oliver, with his regal bearing and handsome features, approached Josefina. His distinguished air


    left no doubt about his elite status. The room held its breath as he drew near, his presence alone a


    testament to his wealth and prestige.
