Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 371

Asher unsheathed a long knife, pointing it at Josefina with an unyielding stance, "Sir, should we take her out?"

Josefina spoke up, "I'm just looking for my friend. She disappeared after coming to the auction here."

Without further ado, Asher and Harry, knife in hand, seized Josefina, binding her wrists and forcing her down.

Josefina remained silent, a flurry of thoughts racing through her mind. How could she have been so naive to underestimate the prowess of the lord of Demon's Isle?
