Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

That was a marriage the old man set up for her daughter! Scoring a connection with the Baldwins was a stroke of luck the Antonio family couldn't even dream of in a hundred years. There was no way they were letting Josefina snag that deal. That good fortune was reserved for Ruby!

Lauren, gripping Josefina's arm, said icily, "You wanna leave? Fine, but first, scribble down a letter, cutting ties with us. Declare that you've got nothing to do with the Antonio clan and that the marriage arrangement set up by your grandfather is for Ruby and has zip to do with you."

Ruby, in a gentle voice, pleaded, "Josefina, Mom and Dad have raised you for eighteen years. Why are you making them upset, hmm? If you've got to vent, take it out on me, but please don't upset Mom, okay? She's not in good health, and I'm really worried about her."

Lauren watched Ruby with affection, appreciating her more and more with each glance. "Ruby, you always know how to care for me, unlike some thankless girl we've fed!"

Lauren went on, "Billy, don't waste your breath on her! Ever since Ruby came back these past two weeks, our business has been booming. Didn't you just land a couple of big partnerships the other day? That's all thanks to the good vibes Ruby's been bringing!"

Josefina couldn't help but let out a snort. Were those two big deals really thanks to Ruby's good fortune? She whipped out her phone and sent a message.
