Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Lena watched Josefina's departing figure with astonishment, then she began to sow discord.

"Did I overhear someone say there's trouble brewing? Josie wasn't exactly living the high life before, right? She wouldn't be mixed up with some street thugs, would she?"

Robert cast a glance at her, and Lena guiltily dropped her gaze, yet persisted in a hushed tone, "Grandpa, I'm just worried about Josie. What if she's been duped by someone?"

Hattie responded with unwavering confidence, "I trust Josie's character. She's my daughter, and my faith in her is unshakeable."

Garrett chimed in, "I'll shoot Josie a text, see if she needs any help. The road hasn't been easy for her, and it's on us if she's felt let down."
