A vehement expression appeared on Josephine's face. "It’s all Dad's fault. If he hadn't taken it upon himself t o be my matchmaker, how could a scumbag like Hiroshi Titus get into Tourmaline Estate?”
When she remembered how she had nearly gotten violated by Hiroshi, Josephine was so angry that she could not speak. "The good husband Dad chose for me is clearly a shameless man."
As she spoke, tears fell. "Big Brother, why is Dad doing this to me?"
Jay remained silent for a long time before saying solemnly, "Probably because you and I are both not his biological children."
He paused before saying, "Mom’s infertile."
Josephine was stunned.
"I'm telling you this because I don't want you to have too high hopes toward this familial relationship. Else, the cruelty of the real world will crush you."
Disappointment was all over Josephine's face as she said, "So I'm really not their biological daughter."
Jay said calmly, "However, you’re still mine and Angelina's little sister. So there’s no need to undervalue yourself."
Josephine was moved to tears. "Big Brother!"
Jay said, "Learn to take care of yourself in the future. Don't let Sis Angeline worry about you anymore."
Josephine lowered her head. "Sis Angeline jumped off a building, beat up a pervert, and took the blame for m e... I'll never be able to repay her kindness toward me i n this life!"
Her eyes shone as a thought occurred to her. "Big Brother, don't you worry. I’ll take all the blame myself i n this trial. That way, Sis Angeline can be acquitted."
Jay smiled as he looked at her. "Your Sis Angeline didn’t love you for nothing. However, you don't need to do anything. I have ways to ensure that you'll be safe."
Josephine was stunned.
Jay continued saying, "Angeline took all the blame because she hoped that you would be able to live without a care in the world. This is my hope for you too.
"Josephine, don't disappoint us."
