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 t o do was eat, drink, and gamble. However,


    the Titus family still has a daughter, who is verypetitive. 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 ce 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 t o ovee 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 oveing 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 ss-like bright pupils shed. "We have t o 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 exined, "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 o f 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 ck gown with half of her back exposed, i t 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.
