Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 822

822 /847

Josefina followed the bodyguard's tip and made her way to the old lady's place. At the entrance, security was tight, but Josefina pulled off a classic distraction maneuver. As one guard engaged in a chat, Josefina used the moment to slip inside unnoticed.

Before long, she found herself at the bedroom door, locked, of course. With a bit of crafty finesse, she managed to pick the lock and entered. The old lady was lying there, unconscious. Josefina sat by the bedside, checking her pulse, and realized it was the same sneaky tactic she had encountered before. It was clear Moss was working with Sydney and company, using the same ploy to seize control.

Josefina discreetly placed a listening device in the least obvious spot. After all, the most unexpected places often turn out to be the safest. With her mission almost complete, she carefully administered a pill to the old lady, ensuring it dissolved before slipping it into her mouth.

She stood by the window, keeping a watchful eye on the old lady's condition, knowing she had to wake her up soon. This visit hadn't gone as smoothly as she had hoped, and she'd need to return better prepared for further treatment.

After leaving Moss's place, Josefina met up with Sylvie, who was still in shock. Sylvie clutched Josefina's arm, exclaiming, "How did you get in so easily? That's my uncle's house! How on earth did you do it?"

"I know the guards at the door," Josefina replied with a shrug. "They let me in. Let's get out of here; it's not safe to talk here. If your uncle spots us, it could be trouble."

Sylvie nodded, and they quickly left together.

They settled into a cozy corner at a nearby café. Josefina filled Sylvie in on the old lady's situation, causing Sylvie to become visibly upset. "I knew it! My uncle's behind all this. He wants the company, but why hurt Grandma?"

Josefina took a sip of her juice, feeling it was way more refreshing than coffee. "There's hope for your grandma. We need to get her out of there and into proper care. Waiting any longer isn't an option."
