Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 323

Lena glanced at Josefina with a look of disdain. Lena was draped in the most expensive cocktail dress money could buy, and her makeup done by a professional artist, flawless and fitting.

However, even in a simple tee and denim, Josefina's cool and understated elegance was undeniable. Josefina spoke deliberately, enunciating each word, "The police have started the autopsy. The findings are that Regina died because a parasite within her burst through her organs."

Lena's facade of confidence and scorn slowly crumbled, disbelief widening her eyes. Josefina's lips curled into a knowing smile.

"Lena, didn't anyone teach you about managing your expressions? Your current look is the very picture of shock and panic when someone hits the nail on the head. Your expression, my dear, makes it so hard not to suspect you."

Realization dawned on Lena. Although Josefina had uncovered the truth behind Regina's death through her investigation, she wasn't sure who the killer was.

Lena had been trained to maintain composure, but it was only in Josefina's presence that she found herself unraveling. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lena quickly regained control of her emotions, her expression returning to its customary cool.

"Josefina, I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're trying to slander me, I will most certainly tell Mother. Regina took care of me for eighteen years. How could I possibly kill her? If you ask me, it's more likely that you or Annika did it. Ever since you returned, you've been targeting Regina. And since Annika arrived, she's been stealing Regina's thunder. You both have ample motive."

Josefina let out a chuckle. "Lena, you really do have a talent for self-defense."

Lena scoffed. "Enough, I'm done wasting words on you. Mom and Dad will be here soon. Remember, Josefina, make sure you come out on top."
