Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 559

The cops were on board, hoping she could convince Lauren to come clean for a lighter sentence. If she could spill more valuable intel, it would be better for her too.

...

When Ruby saw Lauren, her tears flowed like a waterfall. “Mom…”

Lauren, heart racing, gripped Ruby's hands. “Ruby, why haven’t you left yet? Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. You need to get out of the country and meet up with your brother.”

Ruby thought to herself that she wished she could leave, but she had no choice but to be here. But what she said to Lauren was, “Mom, how can I run off when you’re in trouble? Rest assured, I’ll figure something out. I won’t abandon you. If we go, we go together.”

Ruby’s words were the epitome of devotion and determination.

Lauren was moved. “Sweetheart, you need to go,” Lauren told her. “You can't stay here; it’s too dangerous. I’m worried about you. I just want you to be safe. If you're safe, I'm safe.”

They wept together, their tears a testament to their broken hearts. After a while, Lauren asked, “Is Josefina dead?”

The question made Ruby’s face fall.

Lauren’s face froze, then she quickly pressed, “What happened? Josefina, that little wretch, is she still alive?”

Ruby nodded, her voice tinged with resignation. “Mom, I never thought Josefina would be so tough to kill. I heard from the cops that Lena got caught. Can you believe it? She's survived yet again.”

“Damn it, I didn’t expect her to slip through our fingers once more,” Lauren cursed.

Bringing up the subject, Ruby said helplessly, “Mom, why did you even team up with Lena? She’s a nobody, always biting off more than she can chew.”

Lauren sighed deeply, regret filling her voice. “Hatred clouded my judgment. I wanted to finish off Josefina and leave the country with you.”
