Josie looked at her blankly like a puppet.
"Mom, you look like you’re in a good mood," Josie said.
Her mom smiled and said, "I heard that you got better. Why wouldn’t I be happy?”
Josie faked a laugh.
She was violated by Hiroshi and Sis Angeline took the fall for her. Everything that piled up and everything that happened was not anything to be happy about.
However, her mother could not hide her feelings.
Her mother sat by the bed, took Josie's hand, and started the process of brainwashing her implicitly and tactfully.
"Josie, listen to me. Both your brother and your dad think that your thing with Hiroshi is going to be a scandal. Therefore, it’s better to move on with it as soon as possible. Both of them are trying their best to pressure the police. Once the thing with the police is settled, we’ll be hearing the case in court the day after tomorrow."
Josie sneered.
'Jay won’t be able to bear to leave Sis Angeline inside for too long, so obviously, he'll use whatever efforts he can to get her out as soon as possible.'
As for that father of hers, why would he care?
"He thinks that it's a scandal? But he's the one who chose this fantastic husband for me," Josie sneered.
Her mother looked a little embarrassed.
However, she knew that Josie had always been kind and simple, so she racked her brain to make excuses for Jack.
"Your dad was also deceived by Hiroshi. He thought that since the Titus family was well-off, you wouldn't suffer after marrying into their family," her mother said in a guileful manner.
Josie smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid he thinks that this simple-minded daughter of his could climb up the Titus family and become a cornerstone for his business. Perhaps he’d be satisfied if that were to happen."
Her mother felt very awkward. She did not expect this stupid daughter of hers to see through her.
If this situation was another time, her mother would just do a bad job of perfunctory reassuring her before leaving straight away.
