Chapter 63


    Josefina was the epitome of calm, a coy smile ying on her lips as she teased, "If you''re so keen


    on seeing him, why don''t you go find him yourself?"


    Lena''s forced smile instantly crumbled, "Josie, I''m just looking out for you. Why are youing at


    me with ws out?"


    "All I''m saying is the truth. I''ve got nothing going on with Oliver. Why should I return with him? It''s


    not like he''s one of the family."


    Josefina''s words were unapologetically blunt, silencing Lenapletely. With a silent chuckle,


    Josefina parked the car, took the elevator straight from the garage to the living room.


    Thank heavens for the elevator in the Harrison''s sprawling mansion. It saved quite a bit of hassle.


    As Josefina stepped into the living room, Regina appeared, bearing a te of artistically arranged


    fruit, her face beaming with a smile. But upon seeing Josefina, that smile retracted slightly.


    Regina had been expecting Lena, not Josefina. Her face soured, as if she''d swallowed a fly.


    "What''s the matter? Not thrilled to see me?" Josefina eyed her with a hint of challenge.


    Regina had never seen anyone call out an awkward moment so bluntly. Country bumpkins just don''t


    know the first thing about etiquette—not like Lena.


    Still, well aware of her ce, Regina responded with a put-on humility, "Miss, you''re mistaken. Why


    wouldn''t I be happy? We''re all delighted you''re back."


    Josefina eyed the fruit tter, "Is that for me?"


    "Yes, I prepared it especially for you."


    With a broad smile, Josefina epted it, "Well, since you went to the trouble, I''ll be sure to enjoy it."


    She set the fruit tter on the table and began to eat.


    Regina was internally screaming. That was her masterpiece, a fruit tter an hour in the making,


    meant for Lena.

    And just as Lena walked in, she witnessed the scene, feeling like she might just faint.


    Regina moved towards Lena with a smile, "Miss Lena, wee back."


    Lena didn''t even spare Regina a nce, swiftly turning to take the elevator up, not evening


    down for dinner.


    ...


    Josefina surveyed the tableden with delicacies, eating to her heart''s content.


    "Josie, how did your inspection go today? I heard from the manager there was a bit of a situation,


    and Oliver was there too?" her father inquired.


    Josefina nodded, knowing full well the news had likely already spread. "Oh, it''s nothing I can''t


    handle," she reassured them and recounted the day''s events.


    Garrett and Hattie were fuming.


    "That Xavier dared to mess with my little girl," Garrett seethed, "I''m gonna give his father a piece of


    my mind." He grabbed his phone and stepped aside to make the call, careful not to tarnish his


    image in the eyes of his darling daughter.


    Hattie looked at Josefina with maternal concern, "Honey, you''ve got to tell me these things as they


    happen. And those bodyguards, what were they doing? Why didn''t they protect you?"


    Hattie was irritated. Had she spent a fortune on bodyguards just for them to stand by idly?


    Josefina quickly interceded on their behalf, "I didn''t want to rm the customers, so I asked them to


    wait outside. I never expected to run into Xavier and Ruby. But don''t worry, I can take care of myself


    and won''t let anyone hurt me."


    Hattie held Josefina''s hand tightly, her voiceden with emotion, "My girl, remember, nothing is


    more important than you. We can let the money go, but you must always stay safe."
