Chapter 803
Josefina had Luke dig into things, and sure enough, it was Xavier causing trouble. She gave her grandparents the whole scoop about Xavier's antics, including his thing with Mandy. Ayala and Evan showed up in Westwood, all about Mandy.
Grandpa Robert and Emily were completely in the dark about Hattie's family drama, clueless about the whole mess. Josefina laid it on the line: "Xavier's up to no good, and Hunter doesn't even see him as family. I'm convinced Hunter's situation is all Xavier and his mom's doing."
After mulling over Josefina's take, Grandpa Robert and Emily started having their doubts about Hunter and Marina too. “Grandma, Grandpa, I'm on it. If Xavier and Marina are behind this, they'll be facing the cops."
As for Darrick, well, he wasn't winning any awards either. Having a kid like that, you'd almost be better off without one. Grandpa Robert sighed, "Remember how Lena nearly wrecked us all back in the day? If Marina's behind what happened to Patrick, I'd buy it." Emily agreed, “Josie, your grandpa's right, this could be exactly what's happening."
The moment Josefina mentioned Xavier, they were sure he was part of the mess.
Marina was in the middle of breakfast when Marian whispered something that made her freeze. "Are you serious?" "As serious as it gets,” Marian replied as Marina set down her fork. She headed straight to her room, locked the door, and made a call.
"The caretaker says those two old folks from the Harrison family brought their new granddaughter to see the old guy from the Rowland family. Do you think they've caught on? And what's this about Josefina going back to medicine?"
"Calm down, would you? It's not a disaster. Just act normal—eat, spend money, the usual. Don't let anyone catch on that you're losing it, alright?" Marina nodded along, “I can't afford to mess this up.” Losing everything wasn't an option, so keeping calm was a must.
Sydney, hearing all this, was in a panic. Shay, sitting on her bed, was just as shaken. "That Josefina,
sticking her nose into everythingnet
she's asking for it!" Shay fumed. Sydney agitated but stuck in her wheelchair chapped. We've got to get rid of Josefina. She'll ruin everything. If she blows the lid on the Rowland family stuff, all our hard work is toast."
"Mom, I'm down with taking out Josefina. If we splash enough cash, we can hire some top-tier
eine
mercenaries. The top ten hitmen et
were @bust last time, but
mercenaries? They don't sweat danger, as long as the money right." Sydney shook her head, “No outsiders. Let's keep it in the family this time."
Shay was baffled, “Mom, are you losing it? If we get caught, we're finished!” “It's do or die. We need to take the plunge if we want a shot at success." They knew it was
a tough call, but they had to make a decision.
Josefina headed to school, prepping for the competition, setting herself up for an early graduation. Haylee was buzzing with excitement, “Josie, look, got Calix's autograph!" Josefina pulled out a few more signed photos from her bag "Go you some extras through a friend.” Haylee, seeing the photos, was over the moon.
