Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 265

Of course, Billy had to cough up everything he hadn’t yet gotten his hands on.

Jade had no idea what Josefina meant by that, but she couldn’t help thinking Josefina was just too cool for words!

Alex’s face was a patchwork of bruises and cuts, a sight that was hard to stomach. Jade’s gaze shifted from Josefina’s striking beauty to Alex’s battered face, and she couldn’t suppress a gasp. “Alex, you look like you’ve been through the wringer.”

Alex managed a wry smile. “You finally remember me, huh?”

Josefina took charge. “First things first, get to the hospital and get those wounds checked out. Make sure you keep all the paperwork tidy. It’ll come in handy later.”

She handed Alex a business card with Percy’s name on it. “Go see him. He’ll patch you up and make sure you get all the reports you need.”

Having someone on the inside at the hospital sure made things easier.

Alex and Jade had complete faith in Josefina. After all, she had saved their lives. Who else could they trust if not her?

Josefina continued, “Take a few days off. Don’t worry about work; just focus on getting to the hospital and getting checked out.”

After thanking Josefina, Jade helped Alex on his way out.

...

Billy had scrubbed himself raw in the shower. His skin was nearly rubbed off, but he could still smell the stench of filth.

Lauren instructed the maid with a disgusted expression, “Dump all of his clothes in the trash — no, the dumpster at the end of the block! They reek!”

The maid, donning gloves, packed up Billy’s discarded garments into a bag and took them out.

He didn’t agree with Lauren’s approach, but since Ruby had indeed contributed to the company’s success, he wasn’t going to pick a fight over it. “Would I say something like that? I see how hard Ruby works for the company, for our family, and it breaks my heart. In the end, isn’t she the one who’ll be running our empire?”

Lauren softened at his words, “That’s more like it.”

Billy affirmed, “Ruby’s my kid too. How could I not care for her?”

The couple shared a smile, turning what began as a spat into a moment of affectionate teasing.

Just then, the police arrived at Billy’s door. Seeing the officers, Billy assumed Lauren had called them to catch the culprit.

He demanded, puffing up with indignation, “Have you found out who’s trying to take me down?”
