The receptionist blocked her path, and Lauren frowned in displeasure. "Tell Josefina that her foster mother is here with something important to hand over to her."
The young lady at the front desk quickly called Kale. Upon receiving permission, Lauren made her way to Josefina’s office.
When the two women met, it was clear Josefina was a changed person. Dressed in a tailored suit with impeccable makeup, she wore a costly necklace that drew the eye.
Josefina’s gaze was indifferent and cold. "Lauren, what is this important thing you want to return to me?"
Lauren took something out of her purse and placed it in front of Josefina. It was a pendant, an amulet of sorts. Josefina stared at it with a detached air as if it held no significance to her.
Lauren was puzzled but still attempted to engage Josefina with the belief that she could get a rise out of her. Lauren’s tone was haughty and dismissive as ever, looking down on Josefina, showing clear disdain.
"Josefina, you must be familiar with this. I've seen you wear it constantly. This pendant must mean a lot to you."
Josefina let out a derisive chuckle. "Not anymore. If you like it, you can have it."
Lauren was stunned, incredulous. "Not anymore? I remember you wearing it every day. How has it become unimportant now?"
"Because it was something you discarded. Now it should be returned to its rightful owner," Josefina replied coolly.
Lauren couldn't remember when this had happened. Was it really originally her item?
