Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 38

Garrett let out a sigh and said, "I'm feeling the same way. Maybe it's better for us to find Josie a husband who would live with us in the future. That way, we won't be separated."

"That's a brilliant idea. We'll have to see what Josie thinks about it."

The couple's chat reached Lena's ears, making her green with envy and boiling with rage. So she was supposed to get married and get out of this family, and Josefina didn’t have to?

Were all the Harrison family's assets going to Josefina?

Clenching her fists, Lena seized the moment when Garrett and Hattie stepped inside, and sent off a text on her phone.

After getting a reply, her expression went back to normal. She hurried inside, joining the chat with Garrett and Hattie, doing her best to make a good impression.

...

As the car sped along the road, Josefina sat in the back, watching the trees on both sides blur past due to the high speed. Not only that, she realized that they weren't heading towards Brandon's place.

She had specifically asked Brandon to send her the address, just in case of an accident. And here the accident was, coming at her fast.

"This isn't the way to the Baldwin family's place, is it?" Josefina asked, her voice calm as still water, not a hint of shock, like a queen strategizing behind the scenes.

The driver, oblivious to Josefina's emotions, sped up even more instead.

The driver was silent as a grave, so Josefina attempted to send a message, but there was a signal jammer in the car, blocking her from sending any SOS texts or making calls.

Josefina didn't bother trying to text anymore. Leaning back, she crossed her arms and, with a cool smirk, watched the direction they were heading.

The driver was taken aback - Josefina had sensed something was off and yet she wasn't screaming her head off. Was she scared stiff?

Josefina spoke up, "Have you thought about the consequences of betraying the Baldwin family?"

The driver's body visibly shook, and a realization hitting him, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm so sorry, Ms. Josefina, I had no choice. They just want to have a word with you. Don't worry."

Josefina was far from convinced this was just about having a word. The other party was clearly hostile. There were other ways to talk, no need for such extreme measures.

The car kept driving until they arrived at an abandoned factory.

"Please get off the car," said the driver as he got out and opened the car door.

Josefina glanced at the driver, then calmly stepped out of the car. With a gun pointed at her, she cooperated fully and walked into the factory.

Meanwhile, back at the Baldwin family's place.

Oliver had been waiting for a while and lifted his wrist to check the time on his watch. "Asher, check the surveillance along the route."

"Right away," Asher immediately went to check.

Brandon's expression turned anxious as he asked worriedly, "What's going on?"

"By now, she should almost be here. Asher tried calling the driver, no answer."

Oliver's brief statement sent Brandon into a panic. "Check it out, quick! Find out what's going on!" Brandon's voice was angry and anxious. If something happened to Josefina on her way to the Baldwin family, the Harrisons would never let them off?

Brandon was furious, "Check that driver! If he dares betray the Baldwin family, I'll make an example out of him for everyone to see." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

The cost of betraying the Baldwin family - could they even bear it?

Oliver stood up, "Grandpa, you stay home. I'll bring Josie back."

Following the lead Asher had found, Oliver raced against time.

Brandon also had his people pitch in to help, to rescue Josefina as quickly as possible. Josefina's safety was all that mattered.
