Chapter 117


    Oliver furrowed his brow as he stared at his phone. [Spill it.]


    George replied to Oliver, [We’ve confirmed that Ms. Josefina was indeed at theb that day with


    Percy and Luke.]


    Oliver’s frown deepened, and then he typed back, [Josie’s got a knack for healing, and Percy’s a


    doc. It’s only natural she was there for some medical emergency.]


    [Oliver,] George ventured, [is it possible that Ms. Josefina is the new heir to the House of Adams?]


    Oliver said, [Can you shut up?]


    George’s hands trembled as they clutched the phone. Had he just stated the obvious, the fact that


    Oliver had known all along?


    George quickly deleted the message and added, [You’re absolutely right, Oliver. Ms. Josefina is as


    delicate as amb, too frail to fend for herself. She must have been there to lend a hand.]

    Oliver didn’t respond, and George felt like he’d dodged a bullet.


    Slipping the phone into his pocket, Oliver overheard Brandon say, “Hey, Oliver, I heard at dinner that


    Judson gave Josie a present. This Judson guy, could he be Judson Adams?”


    Oliver Said, “Grandpa, you’re overthinking it.”


    Brandon just grunted and dropped the subject.


    Oliver made every effort to keep Josefina’s cover intact. Seeing that she didn’t want to blow her


    cover, he yed along. Whatever Josefina didn’t want to do, he wouldn’t push.


    ...


    After a tiring day, Josefina headed upstairs early for a shower.


    When she emerged, wrapped in her bathrobe with her hair tucked in a towel turban, two visitors


    were scanning the room.


    Percy and Luke chuckled upon seeing her.


    “Boss, your digs are pretty nice,” Luke observed. “The Harrisons sure treat you better than the


    Antonios.”


    Percy handed her a robe. “Put this on. Don’t catch a cold.”


    Draped in the robe, Josefina looked fresh as a daisy, and her face was a picture of innocence.


    “Josie,” Percy said, “Oliver’s secretary dug into who was at theb. He might suspect your identity.


    Stay safe.”


    “Boss, Oliver might be tough, but we won’t let you down! If he dares to mess with you, we’ll all band


    together and take him down!” Luke dered.


    Percy sighed inwardly. Luke’s thought process was truly unique. Couldn’t he see that Oliver was


    smitten with Josie and wouldn’t harm her?


    Percy had done his homework on Oliver and knew that he had never been in a rtionship. Rumors


    even suggested Oliver preferred men. But his two close friends were not that kind, with their own


    love lives. Clearly, Oliver was courting Josie.


    A flicker of sadness crossed Percy’s eyes, but when he looked at Josefina again, his expression


    was back to normal.


    Percy nudged Luke aside. “Luke, go stand over there. I need to talk to Josie.”


    Luke sighed. Fine, he’d be like the air.


    “Are you heading back to theb anytime soon?” Percy asked Josefina.


    “I’ve gotpany stuff to deal with these next few days. I’ll returnter. Keep an eye on theb’s


    progress for me and call if anythinges up.”


    “Sure thing.”


    ...


    Lena passed by Josefina’s room and overheard the voices of men inside.


    Lena thought to herself, puzzled. The security at the house was top-notch. How could there be men


    in Josefina’s room at this hour? A secret rendezvous?


    The voice didn’t sound like something Oliver would say.


    Lena’s eyes darted around, and then she made a beeline for Garrett and Hattie’s room.
