Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 356

"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."

Josefina's words immediately lifted Jade's spirits. "Josie, you always handle these tedious matters with such grace. How do you do it, Josie?"

Josie smiled warmly at Hattie, "Because I'm my mother's daughter, and my mom is one tough cookie. Naturally, I take after her."

Hattie was taken aback, then smiled warmly. "Josie, you are way more awesome than me."

...

Jade invited Josefina and Hattie to dinner, but was turned down. Josefina explained, "I've got other things to take care of, rain check?"

Jade nodded, reluctantly parting ways.

Josefina saw Hattie off to her car, but didn't get in. "I've got some stuff to sort out. I'll head back later. Mom, you go on home, and be safe, okay?"

Hattie held Josefina's hand, "Josie, anything comes up, you bring it home. Don't go it alone. Remember, you've got a family now. We've got your back."

Josefina nodded, "I know, I will. Don't worry."

Josefina watched Hattie drive away before she too departed.
