Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 141

Kale looked exasperated as he spoke, "Ms. Josefina, it's Billy again. He's causing a scene downstairs. We could've called the cops or had security toss him out. It's really up to you on how to handle this."

Whatever Josefina wanted, he would do.

Josefina chuckled lightly. "What do you expect me to do? Am I buddies with him? Do I even know him?"

It suddenly clicked for Kale. That shameless scoundrel Billy was really taking advantage of the fact that he had a past with Ms. Josefina, thinking he could run amok?

"Ms. Josefina, I've got it."

Kale left to take care of this, promising to handle it with finesse.

After Kale stepped out, he saw Billy still ranting about being Josefina's father.

"Call the cops, tell them a lunatic has escaped from the asylum and is causing trouble at our company's front door."

Billy was taken aback, his disbelief evident. "Did you go find Josefina? Does she know I'm here?"

Kale replied coldly, "It's precisely because we know it's you that we're going straight to the police."

Billy thought about the troubles he had faced and shouted, "Where's Josefina? I need to see her. There’s something I need to ask her!"

"What do you want to ask?" No one noticed when Josefina had arrived. She emerged from behind Kale, her presence commanding, her aura one of unassailable power. Her eyes darkened, her red

lips curved into a cool arc.

For a moment, Billy couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was the same girl he had fostered for eighteen years. The Josefina from the past was never this cold in his presence.

"Josefina, I just want to know, all those partners who stopped working with me—did you have a hand in that? They all said I was blind. They even said I turned away Lady Luck."

All signs pointed to Josefina being the true bringer of fortune to his household.

Josefina's gaze was cutting. "No comment." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Josie, for heaven's sake, I raised you for eighteen years. Can't you just talk to them, get them to keep working with me, please?"

"No." Josefina's refusal was absolute. She looked at Billy with icy detachment. "Next time you show up, I'll have someone call the cops. Try me if you don't believe it."

As Josefina turned to leave, Billy called out desperately, "Josie, when you were ten and had a fever, I was the one who carried you to the hospital. Josie, have you forgotten? When your mother didn't care for you, I was the one who supported you, and visited you in the countryside."

The memories brought a sour twist to Josefina's heart. She turned, her laugh tinged with self- mockery and a sense of forlorn strength. "Mr. Antonio, when I was ten years old, you took me to the hospital because we had guests at home. That time, you earned yourself the reputation of a caring father and convinced business partners who also cherished their daughters to choose your company. You visited me in the countryside just once. And I later found out you were there to buy silk from the local farmers. Every step you took towards me was calculated."

Billy, his face flushing with embarrassment, glanced around only to find onlookers staring at him with disdain. He looked even more mortified, as if stripped bare for all to judge.

"Josie, at the very least, I visited you, didn't I? You can't be so ruthless. Just help me this once, can't you?"

"Impossible." Josefina’s response was sharp and decisive.

She turned to those nearby and said firmly, "Call the police."

Kale whipped out his phone and dialed. "We got a nutcase here, probably escaped from a loony bin. Better get him locked up before he starts chopping people up or something."

Billy slipped away.
