"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."
