Chapter 900

Oliver, trying to steady his nerves, took a few calming sips of his iced water. We all know the feeling—embarrassment can quickly turn into panic, and Oliver was right there in the thick of it.

Josefina was sure of it; the person who had grabbed her was none other than Oliver.

"Josie, I swear, I had no idea it was you. If I'd known, there's no way I'd have done it," he said, his voice full of regret.

Josefina stayed silent, her cool demeanor even more apparent, making Oliver wish he could somehow just magically appear by her side.

But he couldn't.

"Josie, I'm really sorry. How about you pinch me back tomorrow as payback?"

She'd never seen Oliver this flustered before. Considering they didn't really know each other at the time, and Josefina wasn't one to hold grudges, she couldn't help but smile.

"I honestly didn't recognize you in that get-up," Josefina said with a chuckle.

"Josie, I didn't recognize you either."

Josefina relaxed, sinking back into the couch, a sense of calm washing over her.

"You weren't planning on heading to the parking lot for some kind of revenge, were you?" she teased.

Oliver gave a little nod. "She made you uncomfortable, so I thought I'd return the favor."

Josefina was surprised by his boldness.

"Let's keep you out of this one."

"Josie, even if I don't get involved, Rowan and Sydney would still find a way to blame me."

Oliver knew their style all too well.

It wouldn't be an issue for him to step in.

Josefina was taken aback. She never thought Oliver would go out of his way for her like this.

This guy really paid attention to the little things.

"Oliver, thank you."

"Josie, there's no need for thanks between us."

Watching Josefina through the video, Oliver's eyes were filled with warmth.

When Shay came to, pain was radiating through her body.

"Shea, thank goodness you're awake," Sydney said, perched by the bedside with a caring gaze.

"Shea, did you see who hit you? Was it that little brat, Josefina?"

Shay's emotions flared. "Mom, it was her, it was definitely her!"

She was ready to storm off and confront Josefina immediately.

Sydney got more and more upset, her anger growing as she looked at Shay's battered state.

"That brat Josefina didn't even get a scratch, and she dared to hurt you."

Despite the pain, Shay was determined to speak.

"I want Annika out of the picture! I want Josefina to pay. Mom, have to help me. I

"For now, just focus on getting better. We can deal with this later."

Shay was shocked. Was her mom actually scared of Josefina?

It was hard to believe. Could they really not take on Josefina?

After being released on bail, Marina had a meeting with the mysterious figure.

"I did what you asked. Now, you've got to get my son out."

"You couldn't even lay a finger on Josefina. And you expect me to save Xavier?” Marina stood, a fierce determination in her eyes.

"If you don't get my son out, I'll spill everything you had me do! If Xavier isn't freed, I've got nothing to lose! I've kept all our conversations over the years. If you don't want this to

Marina was desperate, her only mission to save Xavier.
