Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Lena glanced at Josefina with a look of disdain. Lena was draped in the most expensive cocktail dress money could buy, and her makeup done by a professional artist, flawless and fitting.

However, even in a simple tee and denim, Josefina's cool and understated elegance was undeniable. Josefina spoke deliberately, enunciating each word, "The police have started the autopsy. The findings are that Regina died because a parasite within her burst through her organs."

You both have ample motive."
