After handling the matter, Josefina took advantage of the lunch break to visit the police station.

Regina had been brought in and was currently undergoing interrogation. As Josefina entered, she exchanged a few words with the officers and everyone else cleared out, giving her some private time to talk with Regina.

Regina looked like she had aged a decade in just a few moments. Spotting Josefina sitting there, Regina's eyes seemed to gleam with venom as she glared at her fiercely. "Josefina, you bitch! It's all your fault. You ruined me! You'll never know peace."

Josefina leaned back in her chair, her stunning features wearing a veil of indifference as she coolly stared at Regina.

"Regina, you've made your bed, now lie in it. You can't expect to do wrong and get away scot-free. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You embezzled a fortune from the Harrison family, and the fact that you were not behind bars is a testament to our leniency. And you repay their mercy by hiding in a dumpster and trying to stab someone? That's inexcusable."

"Bullshit! If they were really so merciful, they wouldn't have made me return the embezzled funds. I was counting on that money for my retirement. Because of you, my son and daughter-in-law kicked me out. After all I've done for them, they throw me out, and now I'm left with nothing." Regina slammed her hands on the table, consumed by rage.

"Just tell me who put you up to this and I'll let you off the hook."

"No one put me up to this. I acted on my own. You won't trick me into smearing someone else."

Regina was seething, and if she could, she would have leaped across the table at Josefina.
