"Mom, how's Dad treating you lately?" Josephine felt that everything she saw was somewhat unrealistic.

The Madam then answered in an ingenious way," Times have changed, Josephine. Your brother's disabled now, and you're not interested in running a business. Mom can't count on the two of you so I only have your father. When you reach my age, you'll no longer long for love and muddle through by living on a day to day basis."

Josephine blamed herself for this. She felt that her lack of ability failed to give her mother the support she needed, hence her mother had no other options but chose to compromise. She merely could turn a blind eye toward her husband's little mistress.

"It's my fault for being useless, Mom."

Madam was emotionally moved by her statement and smiled. She said earnestly, "Mom doesn't blame you for anything. Mom's only wish now is for you to find someone from a good family to marry you. Josie, listen to your mother now, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to get married."

Josephine shook her head, resisting her mother.

"Mom, I'm not going to get married."

There was an icy coldness in the Madam's eyes, but it was transient.

"Josie, tell Mom honestly now, are you still longing for that boy, Zayne Severe?"

Josephine did not speak a word. She merely kept her face straight as she looked down.

Josephine felt so wronged that her tears started falling. "I just don't want to marry a man that I don't love."

Madam resisted the indignation she felt and said," Your father's tried to arrange something for you already. The other party is the son of the Titus family from Swallow City. He was said to be suave, full of talents, and has a great family background. It just so happens that he seems to like you, Josephine. Do not miss out on this arranged match."

Josephine was still shaking her head. "Mom, I don't want to go on a blind date."

Madam immediately uttered out the words Josephine was dreading the most, "Josephine, you're no longer a pure girl, so you're not qualified to be picky."

It was as if someone had pierced a needle on her buttocks, Josephine suddenly bounced up from the sofa.

"Mother, why are you exactly like Father? You knew that it was the deepest agony inside my heart, yet you scooped it out and threatened me with it?"

Madam's facial expression turned utterly distorted, she obviously wanted to sneer ferociously and twistedly at Josephine, but on the account that Josephine was her daughter, she could not stand to be so cruel to her.

Hence, her expressions were going wild.

"Josephine, this matter is not up to you to decide. Later, the Titus boy would be coming to Tourmaline Estate. You should go and get yourself ready, and do not disappoint him." Once the Madam was done speaking, she glanced at Josephine again with a vigilant look.

Josephine drooped her head and sat on the sofa, feeling distressed. Her eyes fell to the ground.

Madam looked at her expression, and her affections turned to loathing...

Angeline hid behind the curtains, and when she saw the terrible expression the madam was giving out, she could only feel chills in her heart.

The madam's love for Josephine was filled with poison.

Once the madam left, Angeline walked out from behind the curtains.

Josephine threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

Angeline reminded her, "Josie, you can't agree to this marriage, no matter the consequences. The Titus family are not known for their righteousness, and that Titus family's son is a well-known gambler. This sort of marriage that your parents are trying to push you into is akin to pushing you into a fire pit."
