Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 339

Holly slumped into her chair, her grip on her smartphone tight as her eyes glued themselves to the screen. With a swift movement, Holly's thumbs danced over the keyboard as she fired off a reply without a moment's hesitation.

[Collaborate, my foot! You've got zero skills and have the nerve to drag me into this mess? You almost got me into trouble. Were you born without a brain? Don't even know your own worth? Stay the heck away from me!]

Message sent, she promptly blocked the number, her resolve firm. Holly turned her attention to her laptop, determined to bury herself in her work.

Shay lounged at home, scrolling through the latest news on her phone. She received a message that said, Oliver's crush, that Josefina, was actually the big designer Anya.

She couldn't wait to spill the beans to Sydney. Upon hearing the news, Sydney couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter. "I've said it before, Oliver's always had an angle. His interest in Josefina? It's all about her status. At the end of the day, he's not in it for love."

Sydney sat, her impeccable makeup unable to mask the weariness in her eyes.

"Mom, you should talk to Dad, get him to smooth things over with Oliver. He's locked up because of Oliver's orders. Times have changed. If he wants the old days back, he needs to learn to communicate with Oliver."

Only if Rowan were released could he intervene in the family's affairs again.

Sydney's frustration was palpable. "I've told your father time and again, he just won't listen to me. But it's not all on him. Oliver is to blame. The way he talks to your dad, it's like they're enemies. Rowan and his ex-wife lost their spark ages ago. It was that woman always bothering Rowan. If that old hag had let go sooner, Oliver wouldn't have ended up so bitter from the whole ordeal."
