Chapter 860

Oliver flashed a grin. “The girlfriend I'm talking about is her."

Alfie raised an eyebrow, "Josie, he's your boyfriend? I didn't even get a chance to introduce you two, and you're already hitting it off?"

Oliver chuckled, "That's fate for you."

Josefina gave a cheeky smile, "Master mentioned you weren't too keen on us dating."

"If I'd known it was you, I would've agreed in a heartbeat," Oliver said, reaching out to gently take Josefina's hand in his.

Sitting across from them, Alfie watched the couple. They looked like a perfect match, both in looks and spirit, and he couldn't help but be a bit surprised. Still, he offered his well-wishes.

"Josie, I'm all for you two dating. But this guy," he nodded toward Oliver, "has more secrets and identities than you'd think. Make sure you know what you're getting into."

Josefina gave Oliver a knowing look, "You've been keeping secrets from me?"

Oliver was momentarily speechless. Was Alfie here to stir the pot?

"Josie, I haven't kept anything from you. As for the rest, I'll tell you later; it's all trivial stuff," Oliver whispered.

Alfie chuckled, determined not to let his favorite pupil get short-changed.

"Josie, I heard from Cash that the Black Widow has arrived in Westwood? She's after you?"

"She's tied to Sydney and I hear she's even Shay's mentor. They're all in cahoots, definitely out to get me. But don't worry, Master, I've got it handled."

"These small fries? I'll take care of them."

Josefina smirked, "Master, I've already made my move. No need to stress over people like that."

Alfie laughed heartily, "That's my girl."

Turning serious, he said, "Oliver, make sure Josie's safe. Sydney, being your stepmom and all, if she's after Josie, it's probably because of you."

“Walter, I get it. Josie's doing this for me. I'll take good care of her, promise."

Alfie nodded, satisfied.

The trio enjoyed a hearty meal together.

Josefina got into Oliver's car, her eyes fixed on him.

“When did you meet my master? He wanted to set you up? What are you keeping from me?"

Oliver, caught between laughter and disbelief, wasn't sure which question to tackle first.

"Josie, I've known your master for a while. When he tried to set me up, I was already into you, so I turned him down. Had I known it was you, I'd have agreed instantly. As for secrets, there's really not much to hide. You're already aware of some things. The other identities, they're not important."

Josefina stayed silent for a moment,

then said, "Alright, I don't need to e

know

verything

As long as you

Oliver, that's enough for me.

Holding her hand tightly, Oliver's eyes were intense, “Let me handle Jane. Don't worry about it."

"I've already taken care of it. You don't need to bother."

Oliver was puzzled. That quick?

Meanwhile, Jane was boasting to Sydney about her prowess.

"Just wait and see. I'll have

crawling to me, begging. And

I won't

even give her the antidote." C

Sydney, ever the sycophant, praised, “Ms. Jane, your skills are unmatched. Josefina

is no match for you."

Shay kept her head down, silent and defeated.

Just as Jane was about to brag some more, she suddenly coughed up dark,

crimson blood.

Sydney was taken aback. What just happened?
