Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 285

From the shock in Josefina's eyes, Hattie could tell that the smartphone was no ordinary gadget. "Josie, do you recognize this phone?"

Josefina nodded, revealing to Hattie, "If I'm not mistaken, this phone's worth a million bucks. It looks run-of-the-mill on the outside, but it's jam-packed with features. You can make and receive video calls anytime, anywhere, even without a signal. It's got tracking, stealthy photo and video functions, and can't be detected as a phone. Without the owner's fingerprint, no one can unlock this sucker, not even a tech whiz can crack the passcode."

Hattie was floored. A phone like that existed? How come she'd never heard of it? Hold on, how did Josie know all this?

With an unfazed expression, Josefina explained, "I had a mentor who was involved in the phone's development."

Before Hattie could inquire further, Josefina volunteered, "My mentor, the head of House of Adams, took me under his wing through a friend of his, and that's how I got the inside scoop."

Actually, Josefina knew more than she let on, having even taken part in the phone's research and development, but she didn't share that with Hattie.

"Mom, if you fancy a phone like this, I'll bring three back tomorrow—one for you, one for dad, and one for grandpa."

Josefina had forgotten about this, and if it weren't for Lena, she might never have remembered.

Hattie was touched beyond words. Lena, the daughter she'd raised for eighteen years, had kept such a secret and hadn’t thought to give them phones.

Wasn't the money the Harrison family gave her enough? Who was Lena contacting with that phone?

"Josie, I'll make a transfer to you later. You bring us the phones, and I'll foot the bill. You're my precious girl, and you deserve a share of everything I earn."
