Chapter 118

“Lena, what’s up? You’re up late,” Hattie said. Her makeup was removed. She was dressed in a silk nightgown.

“Mom, Dad, I heard a man’s voice in Josie’s room, and she...”

Lena thought Hattie and Garrett would be furious about Josefina’s seemingly unguarded private life, but instead, she heard something unexpected.

Garrett exclaimed, “It couldn’t be Oliver sneaking over the fence again, could it?”

Hattie replied, “We better check it out pronto. Our Josie’s a scaredy-cat and can’t fend for herself. Even if Oliver came over, it’d be him pressuring Josie, for sure.”

The couple headed toward Josefina’s room, leaving Lena gaping at the doorway.

What in the world? Their trust in Josie was sky-high!

Biting her lip, Lena followed them to Josefina’s door.

Hattie rang the doorbell to Josefina’s room, and after a short wait, the door swung open. Josefina looked puzzled to see the trio at her doorstep.

“Something up?” she asked.

Hattie smiled. “All good here. I had the kitchen whip up some chicken soup for you, totally slipped my mind to bring it to you.”

Josefina took the bowl. “Thanks.”

“Josie, it’s late. Head to bed soon, okay? If running that company is too much, we can let it go. You gotta rest up.”

“I’m managing fine, not too tired.”

As Josefina spoke, Lena barged in. “Josie, you’ve got this killer chair in your room. Mom told me you picked it out yourself. Mind if I check out the brand? I wanna snag one for myself.”

As Lena walked in, eyeing Josefina’s chair, she glanced around sneakily.

Josefina knew exactly what Lena was up to. She stood still, observing Lena’s antics.

The room was spacious, but no matter where Lena looked, there was no one else there.

“Forget about it. That chair was a one-off made by a friend. You won’t find it in stores. He only had enough material for this single piece, no more.”

Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess Chapter 117 His Domineering Lover Josefina left Lena speechless. She thought Josefina was being stingy. How much material could a chair possibly use? Could it really be worth tens of thousands?

Lena grumbled internally but kept a cheerful facade. “Alright then.”

Unable to spot any man and not daring to search too thoroughly, Lena had no choice but to head back to the doorway.

Garrett told Josefina to get some sleep, then gently closed her door.

After standing by the door for a minute without hearing a peep, Garrett dialed Oliver on his cell with no sound escaping from Josefina’s room.

Oliver answered Garrett’s call, startled.

“Hey, Oliver, you guys make it home okay?”

“Yeah, we’re home.”

“Good to hear. Won’t keep you any longer. Get some rest.”

Garrett hung up and turned to Lena. “Lena, could you have misheard? There’s no one in your sister’s room.”

Hattie touched Lena’s forehead with the back of her hand. “No fever. Why the nonsense, sweetie?”

Garrett, concerned, suggested, “Lena, give it another check tomorrow, and if it’s still off, maybe check in with an ENT doctor. You might be experiencing auditory hallucinations?”

Lena was fuming inside, even though she knew Garrett and Hattie meant well. It felt like they were messing with her!

Perspectives can warp words when heard with a biased ear, but Lena hadn’t realized it yet.

Meanwhile, hidden in Josefina’s room, Percy and Luke had not left.
