"What's wrong?" Angeline asked.

When Josephine thought of how her father distanced himself from her and how he shunned her, her expression darkened.

"I don't know why? Ever since my brother had an accident, I could feel my father's attitude toward me take a hundred-and-eighty degree turn. In the past, he was good to me, he would not simply raise his voice in front of me, much less hit me. However recently, not only was he talking to me in a weird way, he even beat me." As she said that, Josephine's eyes started to redden, and her voice croaked.

Angeline was shocked, Jack gave Jay trouble all the time because Jay was not his biological son.

However, he had no reason to not love Josephine.

"Why did your father become like this?" said Angeline while lightly tapping on the sofa leather, she sank into deep thought.

"I think that it must have something to do with that little mistress my father brought back home." Josephine's eyes raged with fury, "Because of her, not only did my father hit me, he even exposed that scandal of mine in front of everybody."

Josephine's body started to tremble at this point.

Angeline was also anxious, she felt beads of sweat on herback.

"Your brother put a lot of thought and effort into hiding that incident. Just because he didn't want to see you get hurt. He's your biological father after all, how could he dismiss your dignity and rub salt in your wound?"

Angeline gritted her teeth, "He should not be a father."

Josephine sobbed, "Sis Angeline, did you know that ever since Sera knew about my past, her eyes were full of mockery, spite, and condescendence. I knew from that moment that my life was ruined." Angeline looked at Josephine's eyes, they were full of hopelessness and despair. Her heart ached for her.

"Josephine, don't be sad. If you're afraid of staying here, I can bring you away from here. We'll hide somewhere where no one knows about us. Just like how you brought me out of the country when my face was ruined."

Angeline rubbed her nose, "Your big brother doesn't want me anyway. We'll live together then."

Josephine hugged Angeline, she cried and thanked her, "Sis Angeline, thank you, thank you for being there for me when I was at my lowest. I'm afraid that I can't repay you for the good deeds that you have done to me in this lifetime."

It was at that moment, the doorbell rang.

Josephine and Angeline looked at each other, then they stood up from the sofa.

"I have to hide," Angeline said softly.

Josephine looked at the empty living room and then pointed at the curtains, "Hide behind there."

Angeline scurried and hid behind the drapes.

Josephine exhaled and strode toward the door.

Angeline was worried that Jay would come looking for her, in the end, she heard Josephine call out tenderly, "Mom!" i

Angeline breathed a sigh of relief.

At the door, Madam smiled and looked at Josephine," Josephine, I have something to say to you."

Josephine noticed that her mother had no intention of leaving, so she let go of the door handle.

"Mom, we'll discuss this inside."

Madam and Josephine huddled around the dinner table, Josephine poured her a glass of water. Madam carefully took a sip and looked up. Her voice was amiable, "Josephine, I came looking for you because I have some personal matter to discuss with you."

Josephine judged the expression on Madam's jovial face, she was worried that she would be heartbroken because of her father having the little mistress by his side, it seemed that she was overthinking.
