Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 422

The trio stood there, utterly flabbergasted. Even a lowly bellhop had the nerve to look down on them!

Lauren, dismissively pursing her lips, stayed silent. Ruby, frowning, spoke up, “Mom, Dad, don’t you think Dorian and Josefina look a bit alike?”

They had only caught a glimpse of Dorian from afar, but his face had made a lasting impression on all three of them.

Billy muttered, “You know, there is a bit of a resemblance.”

Lauren, unwilling to see it herself, was simply reluctant to believe it. “Resemblance? There's no resemblance at all!” she said defiantly.

Billy tried to settle the matter, “Let's not dwell on it. How could Josefina possibly be a Harrison?”

Lauren scoffed, “If that brat Josefina was the Harrisons' darling daughter, the media would be all over it.”

Ruby let out a sigh of relief, “Mom’s right. If Josefina really was Miss Josefina Harrison, she’d have revealed her identity long ago! Unless she’s a fool not to!”

Who wouldn’t want such a dazzling heritage?

Ruby, her brow furrowed in frustration, was not in the mood for more conversation. Just as they were about to leave, they bumped into Xavier and his mother.

Marina, clad in a sleek cheongsam, was accompanied by the dapper Xavier, dressed to the nines. Xavier hadn't expected to run into the Antonio family looking so disheveled, especially not Ruby, with her makeup smudged and sweat on her brow.

Marina smirked, “Mr. Antonio, aren’t you going in?”

Billy was at a loss for words, but Lauren jumped in, “We’ve got urgent matters at home, no time for that.”

Marina drew out a long, mocking “Oh,” her gaze teasing, “Is it that you don’t have the time, or is it that you can’t get in?”

The three of them hadn’t even made it through the door, let alone reclaimed what they felt was theirs. They skulked away, defeated.

…

Inside the banquet hall, the clinking of glasses and laughter filled the air. Waiters navigated the crowd, trays laden with drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Everyone was dressed to the nines, their hair impeccable, smiles on their faces, all reveling in the festivities.

Marina’s gaze was immediately drawn to Josefina within the crowd. The black dress Josefina wore accentuated her svelte figure, her proportions impeccable. Her crimson lips stood out like a rose blooming in the night.

Marina leaned towards Xavier and pointed out, “Xavier, take a good look. A woman like that is worthy of you.”

Xavier’s eyes settled on Josefina, taking in her form, surprised at how well she carried herself.
