Chapter 827

Josefina stood next to the old lady, looking down at her with a firm gaze.

"Sorry, but I had my tarot cards read this morning, and they warned me against helping strangers on the street. Apparently, it could lead to some legal trouble." Jane: "..."

Jane was surprised by Josefina's level of caution.

How did Josefina know she was up to something?

Tarot readings? Jane didn't buy into that stuff at all.

Groaning from the ground, Jane said, "Miss, I just took a tumble. I only need a hand

to get up. I'm not going to harm you."

"Appearances can be deceiving," Josefina replied with a mysterious tone.

Jane was getting tired from staying in the same position for too long.

But Josefina wasn't biting. Jane was reaching her limit.

So, she slowly moved from lying flat to propping herself up on her arms.

"Miss, I'm exhausted. Could you at least help me over to that bench so I can rest for a bit?"

Josefina, with her phone in hand, said, "No need for me to help you. The police are on their way to lend a hand."

Josefina pointed, and Jane saw two patrol officers approaching, grinding her teeth in frustration.

Jane forced a friendly smile: "Miss, thank you for calling the police for me."

"No problem at all. Anyone passing by would do the same."

Josefina walked away, ignoring Jane's calls.

Jane was fuming.

...

When Shay and Sydney found Jane, she was eating at a diner.

Shay and Sydney sat down, full of excitement.

Shay asked, "So, what happened with Josefina? Did you catch her?"

Jane finished her last bite of her burger, speaking slowly, "That girt is incredibly cautious. It was like she knew what was planning and kept her distance the whole time."

Sydney & Shay: ??

What?

Did they hear that right?

Jane didn't succeed?

She couldn't handle Josefina?

Shay and Sydney exchanged glances, shocked by Jane's words.

Even Jane couldn't succeed?

Sydney couldn't help but ask softly, "Ms. Jane, if you can't handle Josefina, what are we supposed to do?"

Shay added, "Master, you're usually unstoppable. If even you can't deal with her, my mom and I are in trouble."

Sydney sighed, "Ms. Jane, if she's too much for you, maybe you should head back. If Josefina knows about you she might send someone after you. For your safety, please back."

With Sydney's words, Jane put down her fork, her expression stormy like a brewing tempest.

"She thinks she can take me out? She's got another thing coming!"

Shay quickly chimed in, "Master, your skills are way beyond hers. She's no match for you."

Jane's mood visibly brightened with the praise, a smile spreading across her face.

"If she won't take the bait, I'll have to switch up my strategy. Don't worry, is there anyone I can't handle?"

Sydney and Shay exchanged a look, realizing that a little reverse psychology had worked wonders.

...

Josefina arrived at the hospital and walked into Ellory's office.

The moment she entered, Ellory treated her with utmost respect.

"Sister, please have a seat. Let me get you a cup of coffee," said Ellory, a man in his fifties, with utmost reverence.

He placed the cup in front of Josefina with both hands, his face beaming with a smile.

"You're not in the business of selling no need to

Ellory's smile faded.
