Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 527

Grandpa Brandon strolled over with a grin. "Josie, did you know we were coming and decided to wait for Oliver? You're so thoughtful."

Josefina was speechless.

This was a major misunderstanding.

Josefina found it awkward to explain. She couldn't just blurt out that she wanted to ask about Oliver's "black card," could she? With so many people around, she couldn't risk raising suspicion.

Oliver chimed in, "Grandpa, if you keep that up, you'll make Josie blush."

Grandpa Brandon chuckled, "You're right, Oliver. I'm just happy to see Josie so cheerful."

...

Everyone gathered in the living room where Grandpa Robert and Emily were already present. Josie was getting anxious but had to wait patiently since everyone was around.

Seeing Emily in high spirits, Grandpa Brandon couldn't resist complimenting her, "Sis, you're looking exceptionally well."

Grandpa Robert, a bit annoyed, retorted, "Even though you're younger than me, she married into my family. You should be calling her 'sister-in-law' since I'm the elder."

Clover let out a resigned laugh; the two of them were like friendly adversaries, always at each other's throats. Clover was used to it by now.

"I call her 'sis' because she's Clover, not someone's wife. Robert, do you get it?"

Grandpa Robert was left speechless.

Brandon sure had become slick with words!

Clover intervened, "Alright, Garrett, let's not argue. We should be welcoming our guest."

Grandpa Robert always listened to Emily; her word was law.

Indeed, every man met his match.

Clover continued, "Thanks to Josie, I got a second lease on life. If it weren't for her, I'd still be in a coma."

Josie replied, "Grandma, you had the will to survive. You wanted to wake up; you never gave up, and that's how I could help you."

The room was filled with knowing looks.

Grandpa Brandon was smug; Oliver had inherited his smarts and knew how to play his cards right.

Just as Grandpa Robert was about to erupt, Emily calmed him.

"Remember, guests are a blessing, Garrett. Weren't you looking forward to a chess match with old Wiley?"

The mention of chess had both men rolling up their sleeves, eager to show off their prowess.

...

In her lab, Josie presented the black card to Oliver.

"Tell me, what's the deal with this 'black card'?"

Oliver explained, "The black card is issued by a secretive underground organization. Possessing this card means you're a member of the group. It may look plain and black with no writing, but at the organization's headquarters, the card reveals the owner's information."
