Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 991

Shay threw open what she thought was a window, only to find it was a complete fake—just a decorative piece pretending to be real. She had to fight the urge to yell, "Is anything around here even real?"

It hit her that Finley was probably worried she'd try to make a run for it. Accepting her situation, she took a shower and changed into some clean clothes.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Shay greeted Finley with a smile. Just as she was about to reach for his arm, he stood up and said, "Come on, let's get out of here. You must be starving. I'll grab us something to eat."

Shay glanced at her hand, wondering if Finley stood up to dodge her touch or if he was genuinely concerned about her being hungry. It didn't take long for her to figure out it was the latter, and she felt a bit lighter.

...

As they stepped outside, they ran into Livia. Finley instinctively turned away, but Shay called out to her.

Seeing Shay hanging onto Finley's arm, Livia's face twisted with a mix of challenge and smug satisfaction. "Oh, out of your cage, are we?" she said, her voice dripping with icy sarcasm.

Shay was at a loss for words.

Livia, feigning surprise, continued, "Oops, my bad. With that lawsuit, you're a goner. You'll be behind bars soon enough. Don't worry, I'll send you a parting gift that'll make your stay unforgettable."

Shay's earlier confidence melted away, doused by Livia's cold words.
