Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 41

Lena was livid. She dashed to the office, whipped out a spare phone, and shot off a text. Only then did she take a breather. After locking up the backup phone in the safe, she bolted out of there. She had to get the lowdown on Josefina ASAP and if push came to shove, she'd be ready to take Josefina out. No way she was gonna let that Josefina walk out alive. Even if it meant doing the dirty deed right in front of Oliver, Lena was determined to get it done.

Josefina was after her turf, and there was no way Lena would let her waltz out of the hospital breathing.

But what was really frying Lena's circuits was how on earth Josefina was with Oliver. Did Oliver save her? No way.

That stone-cold Oliver saving Josefina? As much as Lena didn't want to entertain the thought, the more she did, the more it seemed plausible.

This piece of news was a tough pill for Lena to swallow. As she stepped out, there were Garrett and Hattie, turning up as well. They marched past, eyes straight ahead, not even a glance her way, quick on their feet.

Chatting away as they went, their convo was unfortunately within earshot of a few nurses.

"My poor Josie, how did she get hurt?"

"I'm calling the specialists right now. We've got to get our girl the best treatment, pronto."

"My darling Josie, it's heartbreaking. We just got her back, and now she's hurt again?"

"I've already been on the phone with a security firm, gonna beef up our little girl's entourage with some martial arts hotshots."

"Yeah, our daughter can't afford to get hurt again."

The nurses were gobsmacked, exchanging 'what-the-heck' looks.

"Didn't Lena say she was the one and only heiress of the Harrison family? Now there's another daughter?"

Lena, the supposed sole Harrison heiress, had been bragging about it just enough to make it known without leaving a trace. Plus, Garrett and Hattie’s fondness for Lena was well-known. They had picked her up from the hospital and been spotted in magazine photos, so the nurses recognized them as Lena's folks in a heartbeat.

"Could it be that the person inside is the Harrison family's love child?"
