Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 355

Hattie and Josefina were out shopping, their haul so substantial that even the arms of their two personal assistants were laden to the brim, struggling under the weight of their purchases.

Dressed in an outfit gifted by Josefina, Hattie turned heads as she strolled through the mall, her presence commanding attention. The bolder onlookers would approach and inquire where Hattie had found such a chic ensemble.

With a proud tilt of her head, Hattie would beam and announce, "Oh, this lovely piece? My daughter crafted it with her own two hands. It's not store-bought."

Envy laced the compliments showered upon Josefina, as people admired Hattie for having such a talented daughter. Hattie walked beside Josefina, her eyes shining with pride.

Observing the burdened assistants, Josefina whispered, "Mom, let's not shop anymore. We've bought enough."

"Alright, if you say no more shopping, then that's that. But I heard there's this quaint little milkshake joint tucked away in an alley nearby. Let's go treat ourselves to some, my treat," Hattie suggested with a smile.

"Sounds wonderful."

Hattie instructed the assistants to take the bags back, and she merrily accompanied Josefina in search of the hidden milkshake spot.

...

As Josefina walked forward, a familiar voice pierced the air. "Let go of me! We don't owe you anything! Come any closer, and I'm calling the cops!"

Jade's voice was shrill, brimming with anger and resentment.

Quickening her pace, Josefina saw a disheveled man gripping Jade's arm, his gaze filled with menacing fury. "Jade, your dad owes me money, and you're going to pay it back. If you don't, I swear I'll sell you off to cover the debt." he snarled.

Jade retorted loudly, "The debt belongs to my dad, not me. You have no business with me!"

"A debt of the father is a debt of the child. You and Alex better pay up. I want that half a million, now."
