Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 34

Hattie chimed in again, “The surveillance footage shows that she drugged Grandma when she was looking after her.”

The evidence was so obvious, yet Josefina couldn’t help but feel like it was a dead giveaway.

Was it really so?

Garrett said, “We’ve got both the witness and the evidence. I’m all set to call the cops and let them dig into this.”

Josefina nodded and asked with a smile, “You’ve got it all figured out. Why bother asking for my two cents?”

“Because you’re my girl. You stumbled upon this whole mess, so naturally, we’ve got to hash it out with you,” Garrett replied, cutting straight to the chase.

Hattie nodded in agreement, all smiley. “Sweetheart, your dad just spelled out exactly what’s on my mind.”

Josefina was touched. Thinking about Billy’s sour face in the morning, she was all the more drawn to her biological parents.

Based on the evidence at hand, they could only nab the caregiver for a good grilling to see if they could sniff out the mastermind.

With Josefina’s response, Garrett called his assistant, instructing him to wrap things up.

Josefina took out the medicinal pouches she had prepared and handed them over to the two. “This is a health pouch I made, boosts your strength,” and it also purged toxins from their bodies.

However, it needed to be coupled with medication. Josefina was still in the experimental phase, so she wasn’t ready to give them that just yet.

Garrett and Hattie, receiving the gift from their daughter, were teary-eyed and over the moon. Hattie whipped out her phone and transferred five million bucks to Josefina. “Thanks for the gift, Josie.”

Garrett didn’t hesitate to transfer another five million. “Sweetie, thanks for your gift. I’m overjoyed.”

Happy enough to send a fortune?

Josefina, feeling a tad embarrassed, said, “You’re too kind. You’ve already given me a lot of money. No need to send more.”

Hattie insisted, “Josie, we make money for you to spend. If not you, then who?”

Garrett added, “Plus, you’ve got three brothers raking in dough too. Spend without worries. We’re rolling in it. Go ahead and buy everything you ever wanted, once or ten times over. If you run out of cash, just tell us.”

Hattie echoed, “Your mom and dad are your strongest backers. Just let us know if you need more.”

Faced with such generous parents, Josefina’s heart swelled even more. These were her mom and dad, always on her side, shielding and supporting her all the way.

...

The trio happily made their way out, bumping into Lena who had just gotten up and was coming downstairs.

Watching the joyous family, with each face beaming with contentment, Lena felt a pang of envy. This was her mom and dad, but now Josefina had taken them away!

With a smile, Lena greeted, “Mom, Dad, Josefina, good morning.”

Hattie nodded with a smile. “Morning, Lena.”

Garrett grinned and also wished her a good morning.

Lena appeared kind and amiable, so naturally, Josefina nodded politely and returned the greeting.

The four of them stepped into the family elevator, and Lena, curious, asked, “Mom, Dad, how come Josefina is coming out of your room?”

Josefina took the initiative, “I made some handmade gifts for them.”

Lena, unable to pry any juicy details, dropped it.

...

After breakfast, Hattie and Garrett headed upstairs to change.

Josefina, done with her meal, grabbed her bag and stepped outside, asking the driver to drop her off. She at least needed to get to an area where she could snag a shared bike, scan one, and go meet the Billy clan.

She didn’t want those bloodsuckers to catch wind of her true status. She was eager to see what these folks were up to!NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
