Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 724

Dorian couldn't help but glance at Josefina, feeling deep down that in this whole mess, the person who got hurt the most was his sister. If his sister couldn’t forgive, neither could he. Forgiving would only add salt to her wounds, wouldn’t it?

Josefina sensed Dorian's stance and spoke up, “Dorian, let's just help Uncle Mike and Aunt Laura, okay?” It was clear to her that Hattie was worried sick about Evan. Under normal circumstances, Josefina wouldn't bother with such matters. But now, she realized she needed to start thinking about her family too.

Once Josefina voiced her opinion, Dorian responded, “I'll talk to Uncle Mike about it.” Dorian's agreement was a huge relief to Ayala.

“Reid, thank you. Josie, thank you so much. Hattie, I can’t thank you enough. Once Evan gets back on his feet, I'll make sure he properly expresses our gratitude.”

Hattie asked with deep concern, “What if Mandy refuses to listen to you?”

Ayala’s smile nearly vanished. Without much thought, Ayala assured Hattie, “If she continues to be stubborn, then it’s not on us anymore.” Dorian took note of Ayala’s words, curious to see what action would be taken.

...

Oblivious to the situation, Mandy was busy shopping and dating Xavier. Xavier occasionally glanced at his phone, which annoyed Mandy.

“Xavier, what are you looking at? You’re not even focused on shopping with me. Is there another woman?” Mandy accused, her voice dripping with entitlement and impatience.

Xavier, trying to keep things light, replied, “I’m waiting for a call from my mom. Didn’t your parents mention their company is going under? I asked my mom to see if there’s any way we could help. I’m just anxious waiting for her call.”

When Xavier thought his excuse was foolproof, Mandy’s distrustful voice hit him, “Didn’t you say your mom wouldn’t help you with business matters? And that your friends Dorian and Caiden wouldn’t either?”

“Honey, I’m heading out to buy Josie a present. The nephew’s willingness to help must be for Josie’s sake. Without her vouching for me, he’d probably have refused outright.”

Ayala chuckled, “I was thinking the same. Our daughter, I mean, you say she’s not the brightest, but then she scores well on her final exams. And yet, the things she does would make you think otherwise.”

Evan sighed, nearly at his wit's end over Mandy. And at that moment, Mandy called.

“Dad, why did you cut off my card? I was at the store to buy a purse, and my card was declined. Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was?”

Evan, holding his phone, began his performance, “Mandy, do you not realize our family is on the brink of bankruptcy? We don’t have money for your shopping sprees! I'm telling you, the company is practically not ours anymore. If you don’t believe me, check for yourself and see if your dad still has any money left.”
