Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 23

Josefina caught a glimpse of Hattie's jittery expression and decided to play it cool, flashing a smile and saying, "You're the picture of health! Actually, your body's clocking in younger than your actual age. You've been taking good care of yourself."

Truth be told, Hattie had toxins in her system, the same toxins Josefina's grandma had. Josefina hadn't seen it coming. This person was out to harm not just Grandma but also the other members of the Harrison family.

It left Josefina wondering if Lena had this poison in her, too.

It wasn't that Josefina wanted to doubt Lena, but come on, being a doctor and all, was she totally clueless about Granny and the family's condition?

It looked like it was time to give the Harrison household staff and security a thorough once-over.

Hattie was over the moon with the compliment, beaming, "Josie, thanks for the sweet talk. I gotta step up her game and keep looking after herself. I need to spend more time with my darling daughter."

Josefina just gave a slight smile and kept on eating.

After breakfast, Josefina waved off Hattie and Garrett's offer to hang out as she was planning to hit the road solo. She still had to check if the lab gear was all in order.

Hattie whipped out her phone, and soon enough, Josefina heard the sweet melody of a whopping million-dollar notification on PayPal.

Josefina thought she misheard.

With a loving air, Hattie told her, "Josie, since you wanna go out alone, I sent you some pocket change. Treat yourself to whatever you fancy."

A million dollars for pocket change? Josefina was shocked.

Garrett was quick to follow suit, also sending over a cool million. "Josie, this is just a little something from me. Keep it for spending money."
