Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

"No need, I'll call a friend to handle it. I happen to know someone on the inside. Isn't that what he's looking for? Perfect, they can meet up, and while we're at it, Jade can sue him." Jade's eyes twinkled with gratitude. She gushed, "Gosh,Josie, you're just too cool!"

Josefina laughed helplessly, "Alright, let's get moving. I'll hook you up with a solid lawyer, arm yourself with the law to protect your interests. The IOU your dad signed without your knowledge has nothing to do with you."

Percy's eyes flickered with a hint of lethal intent, his tone even, "Shall we boot Lena from the Harrison family?"

"Not yet. Keep her close, that's the only way to stay on top of her games."

Percy nodded in agreement.

"Lena's got a heart of stone. Still no lead on who's in cahoots with her," he said, frowning.

Josefina reassured him, "Don't rush.

Mistakes would reveal slips, after all. Actions always leave a trail.

Percy pulled a bottle from a cabinet in the lab, "This is the medicine you requested. It's ready."

"Much appreciated." Josefina took it and tucked it into her backpack.

"Any word from Livia? It's not like her to vanish at an auction. If these people were after me, they should

have reached out by now." Josefina frowned with concern.

"No news from our people yet, but no news is good news. Livia is capable and sharp, she'll be fine."

Josefina stood up and said, "I'll send another team to look for Livia."

With purposeful strides, Josefina walked out.
