Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 436

Fox couldn't hold back his excitement, barely able to wait to share the news about his company's latest successful partnership. "Unlike you, Mr. Antonio, running around begging for collaborations and getting nowhere."

Billy's face turned red with anger as he glared at Fox. "Shut your mouth!"

Fox's laughter boomed through the air. Billy's irritation was his amusement.

Today was a day to celebrate, a day to pop open a bottle and toast to victory. Fox laughed heartily, knowing the tables had turned after years of being overshadowed by Billy.

"I used to think your company's success was all thanks to you, Billy. Now I see it clearly—it was all because of your foster daughter, Josefina! You and your wife, you're both pieces of work, scaring away Lady Luck herself! That's the funniest thing I've heard all year."

Fox continued his taunts, "Billy, you've only got yourself to blame for this mess. You and Lauren, you're a pair of real pieces of work! Karma's got your number!"

Billy felt like he was about to pass out from sheer rage, Fox's words cutting deep. Clutching his chest, he remembered Josefina. She had given him a bottle of pills to take whenever he felt unwell, but since she left, he had run out.

Desperate for relief he couldn't get, Billy pointed at Fox with fury. "Shut up!"

Seeing Billy's face pale, Fox dialed down the intensity, saying coolly, "I don't have time to waste on you, I've got things to do. Billy, you seem to have a lot of free time now. I bet you'll have even more soon."

With that, Fox walked away, leaving Billy sitting on the curb, gasping for air. Looking up at the bright sky, Billy felt a pang of sadness at his current situation.

...

Josefina arrived at the office, swamped with tasks. By noon, she finally had a chance to grab a bite to eat. As she was eating, her phone buzzed with a message.

"Lena's been crying."
