Calix rose to his feet and swung the door open, only to be greeted by Josefina's bodyguards, Jett and Tori, standing at the threshold.
"Ms. Josefina, this is a graduation gift from Judson," announced Jett, the hint of a smile on his face.
Josefina's eyes sparkled with delight as she made her way to the entrance. "Where is he?"
Jett shrugged, "Haven't seen him around. It's just the delivery guys dropping this off."
Before them were two massive crates, each towering over a meter high, their contents a mystery.
Soon, more visitors arrived.
"Good day, Ms. Josefina. This is a gift from Mr. Hough."
"Hello, Ms. Josefina. This is from Mr. Kennedy."
"Ms. Josefina, a present from Mr. Gruner."
"Ms. Josefina, this is from Miss Elder."
"Ms. Josefina, this is—"
One after another, the gifts kept arriving, filling the banquet hall to the astonishment of the Harrisons. Oliver and Brandon shared a look of bewildered amazement. How did Josefina know such a crowd? Surely the uncherished Ms. Josefina couldn't have such an extensive network?
Lena's gaze swept over the plethora of gifts. The hall had few attendees, but the gifts were numerous and certainly eye-catching.
"Josie, just how many points did you score on your final exam?" Lena asked, her voice casual but her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Hattie chimed in, "The score doesn't matter. What's important is that Josie is happy."
Garrett added, "Exactly, as long as Josie is happy, nothing else matters."
