Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 813

Kate rushed over to Marina, looking like she’d seen a ghost. “Marina, what on earth am I going to do? The police hauled me in for questioning, and I was terrified! And who is this Josefina, anyway? How does she have so much influence? Even a video of me shopping got leaked online. Sure, they blurred the faces, but someone might still recognize me!”

Marina handed her a glass of water, cool as a cucumber. “Why are you getting all worked up over this? It’s just a little hiccup. You’re sitting here, aren’t you? Not locked up or anything.”

“But I’m scared!”

“No need to be. I’ve got a plan. I signed you up for a tour group so you can lay low for a while. Just relax.”

Kate let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding, feeling a bit of the weight lift as she headed off to her temporary hideout.

Meanwhile, Marina was trying to figure out how to stop Josefina from treating Hunter when Xavier called in a huff.

“Grandpa wouldn’t even see me. He kicked me out, and Dad too. We both got the boot.”

Marina was taken aback. “That old coot! How can he treat his own grandson like that?”

“Mom, do you think he’s onto something?”

“No way,” Marina said with conviction.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get someone to dig around and see if the old man knows anything. Without those shares, we’re stuck.”

“Mom, maybe you should reach out to her for help. She got you together with Dad, and we’ve had it good ever since. She’ll know what to do.”

“Xavier, hush. If anyone hears us talking about this, we’re done!”

Xavier clammed up, then switched gears. “Alright, Mom. I’ll be waiting for some good news.”

“How’s it going with Mandy?” Marina inquired.

“Mom, her family’s gone bankrupt.”

“What!” Marina exclaimed, feeling both frustrated and powerless.
