Chapter 614
Josefina continued, "So, you're my mom's niece?"
Mandy lifted her chin, looking down her nose, "You're not as clueless as I thought. Now, spill it. Where's Lena? Did you kick her out? Even if you are the real Harrison heiress, Lena wasn't exactly a roadblock for you. So, why send her packing?"
Josefina was taken aback. The Lena situation was something the Harrison family had kept on the down-low.
It made sense Mandy wouldn't know.
Mandy pressed on, "Did you or did you not drive Lena away? I asked the staff, and they all played dumb."
Mandy persisted, "Don't even try to deny it. I know it was you. Acting all high and mighty because you're the true Harrison daughter, pushing Lena out. So, where is she?"
Josefina was speechless.
She couldn't help but marvel at Mandy's wild imagination.
"Wow, your imagination is something else. Are you sure you're not a screenwriter?"
Mandy snorted, "Looks like you've been snooping on me!"
Josefina was flabbergasted.
It was just a casual remark!
Mandy was so eager to see Lena, maybe sending her to Lena would end in tears.
"If you're so curious about Lena, why not ask my parents? Or any of my three brothers. Why come to me? As for where Lena's gone, I really have no idea." Josefina wasn't lying; Lena, with her notorious reputation, could be anywhere. Mandy stuttered, having just arrived at the Harrison estate, completely clueless about the Lena drama.
After arriving, she hadn't seen anyone else but Josefina.
With the staff clueless about Lena, Mandy instinctively blamed Josefina for her disappearance.
Mandy eyed Josefina, "I had no idea my aunt found her long-lost daughter. She kept you quite the secret, huh? Seems like she's not too fond of you."
Josefina chuckled, tossing her bag on the couch and leaning back, "Mind your own business, and life will be gravy. None of your beeswax!"
Mandy was taken aback, "How dare you speak to me like that!"
Josefina calmly retorted, "And how dare you speak to me like that? At the end of the day, you're a guest and I'm the host. You come into may house spouting off; where are your ? manners?"
This was the first time Mandy was ever talked back to like this, and she was livid.
"You think you're something special?
My aunt has no affection for you? You think just because you're the reaktlarrison heiress your life's going to be a bed of roses? What do you even know?"
Just then, Hattie returned.
"Mandy, is that any way to talk to Josie?" Hattie chided her, using their full names.
Hearing Hattie's voice, Mandy's face fell, "Auntie, you're back just in time. She's been bullying me! Saying she's the host and I'm just a guest."
Hattie responded, "Well, Josie isn't wrong."
Mandy was dumbfounded, looking at Hattie as if she was a stranger.
Was this the aunt who adored her?
"Auntie, don't you care about me anymore?"
Hattie replied sternly, "Mandy, I care for you, but I also love my daughter Josie. Why speak to Josie with such hostility? It's your first meeting; why harbor ill will?"
Mandy, frustrated, asked, "Auntie,
where's Lena? Did she drive Lena away? Lena was so devoted. Howe could you, after finding your own daughter, just abandon Lena, who you've raised for so many years? Was Lena not good to you? How could you be so heartless?"
