Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Josefina clarified with a smile, "I only learned about this from the teacher myself. I scored a zero because the grades were off the charts. It was just a glitch. In a couple of days, it'll show up correctly." Robert couldn't suppress his grin. "Josie, you've done me proud! And I've got a few choice emerald pieces back home. I'll give them to you when we get back, a little treasure for you to enjoy."

Hattie chimed in, "Josie, we should throw a party to let all our friends and family in on the news. I want the world to know you're my precious daughter."

Garrett beamed with pride. "Our Josie's got brains, scoring so high even under the pressure of the Antonio family's expectations. She's simply amazing! A real standout!"

Calix mischievously winked and said, "Josie, you're the first academic rockstar in our family. Sure, our big brother's smart, but he wasn't valedictorian. I'm texting him and our other brother right now. They better come home with gifts."

Brandon, caught up in the excitement, whipped out his phone and transferred five million to Josefina's account. "Josie, use this cash to get yourself some back-to-school gear. Clothes, handbags, whatever you fancy. And if it's not enough, you've still got Oliver. The guy's a workhorse, all about making money and not spending it. Leave the shopping to the young ladies, right?"
