Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 281

Josefina's words hit Lena like a sonic boom—loud, piercing, and utterly disorienting. Lena felt a turmoil inside, a desperate need to flee the scene, but she knew that running would make her look guilty.

Lena stared at Josefina, who returned her gaze. As they locked eyes, Lena's expression betrayed panic, her voice laced with anger. "What are you blabbering about?! So what if you fancy Oliver? Am I not allowed to have feelings for him too? Josefina, you weren't even part of the Harrison clan when I fell for him. Why must you steal him from me?"

Josefina took a step forward, her look full of unspoken messages. "Lena, you might convince yourself of that, but I'm not buying it. Your eyes give you away; you don't really like Oliver, and you're just pretending. What's your game, Lena?"

Lena stumbled back, her voice sharp as a knife. "Josefina, you've already taken my place and kicked Regina out. What else do you want?"

"Did I really drive Regina away? Wasn't it you who conspired with her to slander Annika? When the truth came out, she had no choice but to leave. The real culprit isn't us. It's you. Would she dare to do it without your backing? And would your diamond necklace be just left out in the open? I don't believe you'd be that careless."

Josefina had noticed how protective Lena was of her belongings, always securing them away. That diamond necklace was studded with countless gems. Surely Lena wouldn't part with it so easily.

Josefina's piercing gaze made Lena's heart throb with discomfort, but she couldn't say more without risking exposure. Fuming, she glared at Josefina. "I've had enough of this nonsense. Now that you've established yourself in the Harrison family, are you planning to kick me out next? You're so cold-hearted, Josefina."
