Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 94

Lena stood to the side, unable to get a word in edgewise.

Calix, that traitor!

Hadn't he promised to stand up for her? Was this his idea of taking a stand?

A turncoat, he was switching sides!

Lena was seething with anger, watching Josefina interact with Calix, feeling utterly out of place!

This was her brother Calix! The brother she had known for eighteen years!

Even if she wasn't the true Harrison daughtee, she had still spent eighteen years as part of the Harrison family! Why couldn't she continue to be the spoiled Miss Harrison?

After stewing in her own turmoil for what felt like an eternity, Lena approached with a forced smile. "Josie, you’re back! Mom made your favorite seafood pasta today."

Calix, all smiles, tugged at Josefina's wrist. "Come on, I've got a surprise for you. Let's go check it out."

Josefina let herself be led away by Calix, leaving Lena feeling like a square peg in a round hole.

Wasn't Calix supposed to be her brother? Just moments ago, he was all bravado about taking her side, and now he was physically escorting Josefina away—since when did men have such a hard bark and a soft bite?!

Fuming, Lena grabbed her purse and marched forward.

Regina sidled up quietly, whispering, "Miss Lena, I noticed Calix picked up quite a few gifts. Before Josefina arrived, you were the apple of this family's eye. Now she's here, and it seems she’s stolen your spotlight. Miss Lena, you better come up with a plan."

Lena trudged on, her pace slow, her expression dark. "What can I possibly do? Everyone adores her and pities her. What can I do?"
