Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 60

"Josie, how could you forget your card again?" Oliver pulled out a sleek black card and handed it to Josefina with a gentle reminder, "Don't forget it next time, okay?"

The enigmatic Oliver never entertained the press, so naturally, his identity was a mystery to those around. With an imposing presence, he placed the card in Josefina's hand, his gaze filled with unmistakable fondness. In a room full of people, his eyes stayed fixed on Josefina.

Whispers started to ripple through the crowd.

"Holy smokes! That's a black card!"

"Those two were just mocking her for not being able to afford stuff, but with that card, she could buy anything."

"Looks like the joke's on that couple."

Meanwhile, Xavier's eyes were also locked on Oliver. Oliver's face was unfamiliar to Xavier, since he wasn't in a position to cross paths with someone like Oliver.

Oliver's icy stare was like a poisoned arrow aimed straight at Xavier, paralyzing him. Oliver's lips, thin yet commanding, uttered words chilling to the bone, "The incident at Gourmet Galaxy hasn't taught you a lesson, huh?"

Xavier was petrified. Was this man behind Gourmet Galaxy debacle?

That incident was Xavier's worst nightmare. He'd been reprimanded harshly by his father, who then put a tight leash on his bank account to prevent further disasters.

Ruby, overhearing the conversation, suddenly made a connection.

This man was called Oliver? Could this imposing man be the same one her family wanted her to marry? Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

As Ruby pondered this, Xavier grabbed her hand, intending to make a quick exit. But Oliver's cold voice stopped them, "Leaving so soon?" His bodyguards blocked their path, making escape impossible.

Xavier turned to face Oliver, defiance in his tone, "What do you want to do? This is a society governed by law." He didn't believe Oliver would dare harm him with so many witnesses.

Oliver's smile was predatory, "Aren't you going to apologize for hassling Josie?"

Josefina looked up at the man beside her, surprised. How did he end up here? What a coincidence!

Feeling Josefina's eyes on him, Oliver turned, locking eyes with her.

Ruby clenched her jaw and boldly asked, "What's your relationship with Josefina?"

Josefina retorted, "Who are you to ask? If you don't apologize, I'll sue you and Xavier for slander."

Oliver narrowed his eyes, like a poised leopard ready to pounce.

Ruby, infuriated but powerless, knew she couldn't afford to offend this man. She didn’t know about Oliver's identity and was typically one to bully the weak and fear the strong, so she had to keep her anger in check, seething with envy.

How did Josefina end up with such a handsome man anyway?

Xavier, haunted by the memory of his father's scolding, wondered who this man could be. Beneath the gaze of onlookers, Xavier swallowed his pride and muttered, "I'm sorry."

After apologizing, he didn't even take Ruby's hand. Instead, he bolted, only to tumble into a five- foot-tall cake, emerging as the cake man, both his wallet and his dignity taking a hit.

Ruby covered her face and fled. She just couldn't take it anymore. The humiliation was too much!

Josefina chuckled at their frantic departure.

Oliver, seeing her laugh, joined in. "How about we go for a coffee?" he offered.

Josefina nodded, eager to leave the spectacle behind them. Thank god there was no cell service, or that scene was gonna go viral online.

This scene was also witnessed by Lena, lurking in the shadows. Her eyes, venomous with envy, bore into the unfolding drama below.

"Why! Why does Oliver fancy Josefina! Why!"
