Chapter 25

Josefina rolled up to the farm on the west outskirts, which looked like any regular old farm but was actually her secret lab in disguise. She tinkered away the whole afternoon and whipped up antidotes for Garrett, Hattie, and Clover.

Percy watched Josefina work her magic with the meds and couldn’t help but moan, “Boss, can’t you leave some glory for the rest of us? You’re killing it! You make those medical profs look like amateurs.”

Josefina packed up the antidote and said, “The next steps are on you. Whip up the meds and hit me up when you’re done. Then I’ll swing by for the experiments.”

Percy nodded like a bobblehead. “You got it. I’ll buzz you the second I’ve got news.”

Luke strolled in and announced, “Boss, last month’s earnings were transferred to your bank account. If Billy knew he was duped and treated trash like treasure, he’d probably puke his guts out.”

Percy scoffed, “Serves him right! If it weren’t for you constantly cleaning up his messes, his company would’ve gone belly-up ages ago. Now he’s crossed you, so bankruptcy is just desserts!”

Josefina looked up. “Billy’s bankrupt?”

Luke replied, “He’s on the brink. Your father got involved. And after you pulled your collab from his company, given his track record, you think he can turn things around?”

Percy chimed in, “It’s high time Billy realized who’s the real lucky charm in the Antonio family!”

Josefina couldn’t help but chuckle at their banter, and with a smile, she said, “Alright, I’m outta here.”

She drove off and made it back home by five in the afternoon. As soon as she stepped in, Josefina caught Lena and Hattie’s laughter echoing from the living room — a heartwarming mother-daughter moment if there ever was one.

Josefina walked in. Her glowing skin and delicate features exuded the unmistakable aura of the Harrison family’s heiress.

The servants greeted her with utmost respect, “Welcome back, Miss.” The title “Miss” made Lena’s face flicker. She felt like she’d been pricked in the heart.

Lena stepped forward with a smile plastered on her face. “Welcome home, Josefina.”

Josefina nodded and made a beeline for Hattie. “Heard you’re fond of chestnut pastries, so I picked some up for you on my way.”

“No worries,” Josefina replied, taking a seat next to her with a gentle smile.

Lena clenched her fists, feeling like Josefina was finding ways to embarrass her. She’d rushed back from abroad without bringing any gifts for the family, yet Josefina managed to bring Hattie a treat.

Lena moved over to sit by Hattie’s side and, with a grin glued to her face and phone in hand, she said, “I feel bad. I was so eager to get home and I didn’t know you’d be back, so I didn’t get you anything. How about I send you some money to welcome you home?”

Josefina opened her payment code on her phone and held it out to Lena. “Thanks.”

Lena was stunned. Was Josefina actually going for it?

Disdain and contempt filled Lena’s eyes, though she maintained her cheerful facade. “My pleasure.”

Josefina’s lips curled into a sweet smile. “I just got two-million, and now Lena here wants to send me one too. Wow, I’m gonna be rich.”

Lena, who was about to send Josefina a measly ten grand, felt speechless.

Oh, how she seethed with regret! Why did she have to run her mouth like that!

She desperately wanted to smack herself. She never actually intended to send Josefina money. She was sure Josefina would be too embarrassed to accept, but who knew Josefina could be so shamelessly thick-skinned!
