Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 731

Mandy was completely taken aback by Xavier's blunt refusal. The eyes of her family members on her made the sting of rejection even worse, leaving her feeling utterly humiliated.

With frustration simmering in her voice, Mandy demanded, "Xavier, it's just a five-million-dollar loan. It's not like I won't pay it back. You can't spare five million?"

"Mandy, it's not that I don't want to help. I'm really strapped for cash right now; I genuinely don't have five million to spare."

"Not even with a promissory note, Xavier?"

"It's not about the note, Mandy. The company's ramping up production, and I need every penny. You're usually so understanding—I thought you'd get it."

"I can't understand, I just can't," Mandy snapped and hung up the phone in frustration.

Alivia chimed in, "Mandy, listen to me. You should break up with him. Sure, he's not obligated to lend you the money, but the way he refused without even hesitating—do you really think he loves you?"

Mandy stayed silent, her mind racing.

At that moment, Hattie and Josefina walked in.

"Mom, Aunt Dorian, we've packed up everything and finished the discharge paperwork. Josie and I need to head out now. She's got class this afternoon, and I need to drop her off," Hattie announced.

Alivia nodded warmly, "Josie, thanks for your help."

"Not a problem at all, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt. I'll see you later," Josie said with a smile.

Evan, grinning, offered, "Josie, let me drive you."

"No need, I've got it covered. You all continue," Hattie interjected.

Hattie and Josefina left without even acknowledging Mandy, leaving her standing there, stunned. Had they just witnessed her humiliation?

Mandy's feelings were written all over her face, and Ayala quickly addressed it, "Mandy, Josie and your aunt were here to help us. We asked them to come. Don't overthink it. And honestly, we didn't expect you to drop by, given how your relationship seems to be consuming all your time."

Mandy stood there, silent, her head bowed.
