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. Josefina sneered. "Regina, you've already been caught. Struggling is pointless now. Do you really think that person will save you after all this?" Regina clenched her fists, her voice hoarse with emotion. "No one put me up to this." Josefina pulled a necklace from her pocket, lifted her hand, and let it dangle, catching it just before it could fall. The necklace swayed hypnotically, catching Regina's gaze. As she watched, her eyes grew distant. Something wasn't right. In a ddetached tone, Josefina pressed, "Who put you up to this, and why attempt murder at the doorstep?" Regina's voice was a whisper, "Lena, she told me to chop Hattie. Lena would take a knife for Hattie. It would bring them closer together and Lena would find a way to save me. I wouldn't have to go to jail then, and there was a payoff waiting for me afterward." A smirk played on Josefina's lips-she knew it. What a coincidence that Lena was coming to office with Hattie. What a coincidence that Regina hid in a dumpster and Lena took a stab. "Did Lena know about your embezzlement?" Regina's voice barely audible, "Yes, and I even gave her some money." Josefina was incredulous. How desperate was Lena for cash? Was Lena secretly supporting a lover?

"There seems to be someone." "Have you met him?" Regina seemed about to answer when something terrified her, her expression morphed into one of fear, and she became frantic. "I don't know anything, I swear!" Regina cradled her head, letting out an agonized scream. Following Regina's gaze, Josefina saw Lena approaching swiftly. "Josie, what have you done to Regina? She's in agony," Lena asked as she got closer. Josefina watched Lena's face, her expression complex, "Regina was fine just now. It's only after seeing you that she became so distressed." Lena appeared utterly innocent, "But I didn't do anything. I just got here. Josie, why are you at the police station?"
