Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 633

Josephine was dumbfounded when she learned that the man her parents were trying to set her up with was a well-known gambler.

"Is that true, Angeline?" She refused to believe that her dear parents would do this to her.

Angeline swore and said, "The Titus family from Swallow City were the people who betrayed the Severe family in the past. In order to get revenge on them, I've dug up all the dirt on everyone in the Titus family

"Titus only has one young master, and that young master was notorious for being bad since he was a child. When he grew up, the only thing he knew how to do was eat, drink, and gamble. However, the Titus family still has a daughter, who is very competitive. Hence, they've trained her to be the heir instead."

Once Josephine listened to Angeline's words, she silently hugged her legs and curled up into a ball as she shivered.

"My mom and dad are truly kind to me," Josephine said quietly.

Angeline hugged her tightly in her arms, trying to give her some warmth. "Josie, don't be afraid. You still have me, and your brother. We'll never let your parents ruin your happiness."

Josephine leaned inside Angeline's arms. There was a

n expression of despair that was more griefful than death.

"What should I do, Angeline?" She felt like a lone boat that was drifting in the sea, driven far by the wind and waves, with nowhere to place her anchor.

Angeline was like a big sister to her that continued to be encouraging. "Life will give us a lot of hardship, Josie. But as long as we're still alive and determined to overcome said hardships, we'll definitely be able to change our own destiny."

Josephine stared at Angeline in a daze. For some reason, she recalled Angeline's turbulence and suffering in this life and felt inspired to see that Angeline was still living forward even after thousands of hardships.

Josephine sat up from Angeline's arms and said impassionedly, "You're right. As long as we're alive, there's always hope in overcoming difficulties."

Angeline was feeling relieved.

"Then, shall I go and meet this scoundrel?" Once she snapped back into reality, Josephine started to feel uneasy.

Angeline smiled and said, "If you don't go, your parents would make your life a living hell. Why don't you go and meet him—"

Angeline's glass-like bright pupils flashed. "We have to find a way to let him voluntarily give up on this marriage. Then, your parents can't force you to marry

him."

Josephine excitedly replied, "Do you have an idea, Angeline?"

Angeline nodded, "There is a way, but we'll have to sacrifice my sex appeal."

Josephine was confused.

Angeline explained, "That brat liked me since he was a kid. All the love letters he wrote to me could be published into a book by now. If I showed up in front of him, his mind will certainly not be fixated on you." Josephine immediately shook her head when she heard her idea. "No, I can't drag you into this. If my brother knew that a man had any interest in you, he'd go berserk." Angeline smacked her lips and continued in a disappointed tone, "I'm going to put a test on your brother as well. I want to see if he still cares about me." "Are you serious?"

"Yes. Find someone to go to the Fragrant Vessel Court and inform them that there's a distinguished guest in the Sycamore Annex, so that your brother would show up there to join in on the ruckus as well." "Alright."

This beautiful scheme was aimed to kill two birds with one stone. Therefore, Josephine and Angeline both set their hearts on it.

Angeline was deliberately dressing up for this. She was already devastatingly beautiful, yet when she put on a pretty black gown with half of her back exposed, it outlined her graceful figure vividly. Her hair was twisted into a bun and wrapped with a diamond-encrusted hair loop, exposing her long swan-like neck. The image was breathtakingly beautiful.

Josephine gasped, "It's no wonder my brother couldn't help but fall in love with you since the first time he saw you. You're simply too stunning for the world, Angeline."

Angeline looked at herself in the mirror, and lonesomely said, "It doesn't matter how beautiful I am, your brother doesn't like it. In the end, I'm only left with a lonely self-admiration."

Josephine deliberately failed to match her foundation to her skintone. Although she was also wearing an expensive dress, when she stood in front of Angeline, the contrast between them simply screamed the ugly duckling and the white swan.

In the Fragrant Vessel Court.

After Jay got up, he dully sat on his wheelchair, looking at the scenery outside the window.

The medical team came to examine him, yet he ignored them.

The servant tried to serve him breakfast, he ignored them as well.

He continued to stay silent, and several hours had passed without him saying a single word.
