Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 332

Ruby bit her lip, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill. There she sat, a silent witness to the storm brewing inside the car.

Why was it suddenly a crime to cry her heart out? Why did Billy, of all people, have to treat her this way?

In the driver's seat, Lauren's voice crackled with fury. "Billy, what the hell is your problem? How can you yell at our daughter like that? Poor Ruby's been through enough, and instead of comforting your own daughter, you're raising your voice at her?"

Stewing in the passenger seat, Billy's mood was already sour, and his patience was wearing thin. "Lauren, how could you still say this now? If Ruby hadn't been parading around with Josefina's stuff as if it were her own, would I have embarrassed myself in front of everyone? Did you not see the looks I was getting?"

And then, to Ruby, he said bitterly, "You've made a laughingstock out of me, caiming other people's things as your own, puffing yourself up like some big shot, and boasting about your so-called design talent. Well, now everyone knows your lies. Why are you so quiet now? I should've never brought you back into the Antonio family. You're nothing but a curse, dragging me to the brink of bankruptcy."

Tears streaming down her face, Ruby stammered, "Daddy, I... I didn't think things would turn out like this."

"Didn't think? Did you not consider the consequences before doing all this?" Billy roared, his question more an accusation.

Lauren, sitting in the backseat, pointed her finger at Billy and shouted, "Billy, what are you implying? You wouldn't be thinking of bringing that little bitch Josefina back, would you?"
