Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 869

Shay opened up her chat with Finley and hit play on the video he'd sent over. Just one look, and she felt like she’d just experienced the ultimate social fail!

It was a surveillance video from a camera outside Oliver's place, showing Shay asking Oliver why he didn’t like her. Her mind was in chaos. She couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that Oliver had actually sent this video to Finley—it was a real punch to the gut.

Finley’s voice cut through the tension, \"I had no idea you were into Oliver. All this time, you’ve been acting like you’re into me, flirting and pretending. Was it all just a show?\"

He sounded furious, \"So, what was it? You’ve been stringing me along? Acting like you liked me just to mess with me? Nichola, you make me sick!\"

He didn’t call her Shay—he used her other name, Nichola. Shay realized the truth: Finley was done with her, and she was dead to him.

\"Finley, please let me explain. When I said I liked him, I didn’t mean it romantically. It was more like how a brother cares for his sister. You can’t let a surveillance video mess up what we have.\"

\"Don’t call me again. Reaching out to you just makes me feel like an idiot! And now, I’m starting to wonder if you were behind Livia losing her baby!\"

Once doubt takes root, it grows wild, fueled by suspicion.

\"Finley, it wasn’t me. I had nothing to do with Livia.\"

\"Nichola, just hang up. I don’t want to talk to you.\"

Finley ended the call, leaving Shay with no room to argue. She tried calling him back, but it was hopeless.

Frustrated beyond belief, she flung a pillow across the room, realizing Finley had blocked her. In a fit of rage, she grabbed a different phone to confront Oliver, demanding to know why he’d thrown her under the bus.

Oliver didn’t hang up but shot back, \"Shouldn’t Finley know who you really are?\"

\"Walter, you’ve got to help me out here. If I’d known she was your apprentice, I would’ve never come to Westwood.\"

Jane was kicking herself. How could she have known Josefina was Alfie’s protégé?

Alfie, settling in with a bit of pride, said, \"Josie is my top apprentice. I wanted her to take over, but she wasn’t interested. She’s always been my first choice—her skills are way beyond mine. And you, why did you have to stir things up with her? It’s like asking for trouble.\"

Jane was speechless.

\"Walter, I honestly didn’t know. If I had, do you think I’d be in this mess?\"

Jane sighed, fully realizing what it meant to tangle with Josefina and face the fallout.
