Jospehine's Revenge!

Wang Xiao shook his head, slightly amused yet curious. He then steered the conversation toward a more pressing issue. "When we arrived, I remember your mother wanted to speak to you privately... Did she ask anything about me or the attack?" His voice carried a hint of suspicion, indicating that this was his main concern for the day.

Josephine hesitated, the weight of the conversation with her mother, Seraphine, from two days ago pressing on her. Finally, she nodded, slowly unraveling the details of that private discussion.

She recounted the conversation with her mother, Seraphine, with a thoughtful expression. "She did ask about you, but it was more about how you managed to defeat those attackers. She wanted every detail of the fight," she said, recalling the intense scrutiny of her mother during that discussion.
