Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 264

Lena whispered, “Regina, don’t get discouraged yet. Keep your chin up. I believe in you. When you’re working in the kitchen, keep a sharp eye on Annika’s every move. I’ve got a hunch she’s in cahoots with Josefina, scheming to bleed the Harrison family dry.”

Regina suddenly felt a surge of energy. “Don’t you worry, Miss Lena. I’ll expose Annika for who she really is. I’ve been with the Harrison family for years, and she’s just the new servant on the block. Let’s see if she can cut it with the Harrisons.”

Seeing Regina’s spirit lifted, Lena breathed a sigh of relief. She was curious too about who this Annika really was.

...

Josefina arrived at the office and heard something from Kale. “Ruby’s planning to go live and sell clothes?”

Kale nodded, “Yeah, from what I’ve heard, the Antonio clan has even got their streaming studio set up. Their new designs have been a hit. Just not sure who this hotshot designer they’ve roped in is.”

Josefina fired up her computer and started digging for information. “Nice style, fresh designs. Billy sure struck gold, having a designer like that in his corner.”

Josefina couldn’t figure it out;. Did Billy have a lucky charm or something? It was as if good fortune was on his side. She grabbed her phone and shot a text to Luke, asking him to look into it.

“Kale, you get back to work. I’ll have someone sniff around this matter.”

“Got it.” Kale left the room.

Josefina checked Ruby’s live stream replay on her phone. Ruby had been trained well, and her first live session had gone off without a hitch. It seemed Billy was on a lucky streak again, ready to rake in the cash.

Josefina texted Alex, but got no reply. She stepped out to survey the office - Alex was a no-show.

Picking up the phone, she called Jade, but a shrill voice came through, “Josie, it’s terrible! Someone’s taken my brother. I was just about to call the cops.”

“Give me the address. I’m on my way.”

Just as the thug was about to comply, something splashed through the air. Alex was a good distance from Billy’s thug, and a bucket full of, well, crap, covered both the goon and Billy.

Billy stood there. His mind was blank. By the time he realized he was drenched in filth, Alex was gone. Billy opened his mouth to speak but could only vomit.

By this time, Alex had made a clean getaway, reuniting with Josefina and Jade. “Ms. Josefina, I can’t thank you enough for saving me.”

Jade chimed in, “Alex, Josie is so fierce! We passed by a farm, and she grabbed a bucket with one hand. Her throw was both graceful and powerful!”

Josefina chuckled. Her voice was as melodious as ever, “Jade, did you get it on camera?”

Jade giggled, “Got it all, Josie. What do you want with this footage?”
