Chapter 171


    "Lena, who is she? Why do I feel like she bears a resemnce to your mom?"


    "Nope, I think she kinda looks like your dad."


    "There''s a hint of your big brother in her eyes and brows."


    Thesements made Lena''s expression turn sour. She didn''t n on revealing Josefina''s identity


    when she brought her along today.


    "Oh,e on, what are you all talking about? This is Josefina, and she''s like a sister to me. I


    wanted you guys to meet her so we can all hang out together."


    Lena beamed at Josefina. "Josie, these four are my best buds. You''ve met Sylvie before. That''s


    N, the second daughter of the Terry family, and over there''s Alma, the third daughter of the


    Donald family."


    Sylvie had been quiet, but her eyes lit up when she saw Josefina, making a beeline straight for her.


    "Josefina, I didn''t expect to see you here today."


    At Sylvie''s words, N and Alma exchanged nces. "Sylvie, you know her?"


    Sylvie piped up. "She''s the heroine I told you about. If it weren''t for her, I''d have been toast."


    N and Alma were taken aback, not expecting Josefina to be so skilled. Even so, their gazes


    toward Josefina wereced with disdain. In their eyes, Josefina''s background didn''t warrant her


    presence among them.


    Lena quickly chimed in, "Let''s go for a ride. It''s not too hot yet, and we can still take ap around."


    Throughout, Josefina hadn''t had a chance to get a word in. She couldn''t be bothered to exin. Her


    main reason foring today was to see what Lena was up to anyway.


    Josefina, sporting a sunhat, headed out with the others to pick horses.


    Lena approached Josefina, "Josie, you should ride this one. It''s really gentle. Since you haven''t


    ridden before, I''ll have the coach guide you."


    N nced at Josefina and whispered to Lena, "Why on earth did you bring her? She can''t even


    ride. She''s a servant''s daughter. Why bother being so nice to her?"


    Josefina let out a soft snort ofughter, lifting her gaze, which seemed to hold gxies. She was


    about to retort when Lena cut her off, "Let''s just focus on horseback riding for now. Once it gets


    hotter, we won''t have the chance."


    Josefina was amused. Was Lena misleading everyone about her identity on purpose? Still, Josefina


    guessed that Lena probably had bigger schemes in store for her.


    Sylvie pulled the two tactless ones aside, advising them to keep their mouths shut if they couldn''t


    say anything nice. So ssless.

    Meanwhile, Lena awkwardly apologized, "Josie, don''t be mad at them. They don''t know how to talk.


    I''ll give them a piece of my mindter."


    Josefina fixed her eyes on Lena, the mocking smile ying on her lips unhidden, "Indeed, if you


    can''t say anything nice, it''s better to say nothing at all."


    Lena fell silent, feeling like the jibe was aimed at her, yet without proof.


    "Josie, can you ride? I can get one of the coaches here to teach you."


    Josefina replied, "No need." She walked forward, approaching a horse, and gently stroked its mane,


    then yfully pinched its nose.


    "Lena, the horse you''ve chosen looks pretty good," Josefina said, her face radiating a serene smile.


    "Josie, my horse isn''t as good as yours. Yours is more obedient."


    Josefina smiled without a word, then moved beside another horse, saying to Lena, "You go ahead


    and mount. I''ll watch and learn."


    Lena grinned, "Sure thing."


    As Lena got on her horse, Josefina''s eyebrows arched in a yful smirk. With a graceful leap, she


    mounted her own horse, her fluid movements leaving Lena speechless and wide-eyed.
