    Chapter 169


    Since things hade to this point, whether she and Ken would ever tie the knot, Natalie felt it was


    only fair he knew about her past rtionship with Brian. Even though he felt like a brother to her, Ken


    had be a part of her family, and he deserved to know the truth.


    Natalie’s pause stretched too long, and something clicked in Ken’s mind.


    He hadn’t wanted to bring up Brian, but it was clear that Brian had be an issue between


    him and Natalie.


    “It’s about him, isn’t it?” Ken spoke up the moment Natalie opened her mouth to speak.


    Their eyes met as Natalie lifted her gaze.


    “Did you know Brian dumped thirty million into my ount several days ago?” Ken probed further.


    Natalie suddenly remembered that night when Brian asked her how much Ken had given her over


    the years, vowing to pay it back tenfold or a hundred fold. She hadn’t expected Brian to follow through!


    Noticing the shift in Natalie’s eyes, Ken grabbed her wrist and examined it. He had noticed


    something about her wrist earlier.


    “So, what Gavin told me was true,” he said quietly, staring at the faint marks that hadn’tpletely


    faded from her skin. They were from the belt Brian had used that night.


    “Did you agree, or did Brian force it on you?” His grip tightened around Natalie’s hand.


    Natalie hadn’t expected Gavin to spill the beans to Ken. That was outside her ns. She hesitated


    before replying, “No matter what happened at that time, it’s already…”


    “So, he forced you.” Ken cut her off, not letting her continue.


    Ken was barely suppressing a raging fury, managing to stand calmly before Natalie.


    His Natalie, whom he cherished and treated like a precious treasure, whom he couldn’t bear to touch


    too roughly, whom he respected and cared for, was trampled underfoot by that man, her dignity


    crushed, her body harmed.


    “I’ll kill him,” he said softly, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty ferocity.


    If he killed Brian, he could ensure Natalie would never be hurt again.


    “Don’t!” Natalie’s heart leaped, and her gaze locked onto his.


    “Ken, you mean so much to me! I don’t want you to get hurt because of me! Brian…”


    “Don’t?” Ken couldn’t help frowning. Brian had hurt her so badly, yet she was still protecting


    Brian.

    “Of course not!” Natalie replied, her brows tightly furrowed.


    She knew well the extent of Ken’s capabilities and influence. But Brian was also no pushover. If


    Ken went after him, it was bound to backfire!


    “Natalie, no one can stop me from doing what I’ve decided,” Ken said, each word heavy


    with intent.


    Natalie had never seen Ken so terrifying, as if he had lost all control.


    “Give you time, and Brian magically turns into a saint?” Ken couldn’t help but let out a wryugh.


    “Just one year! In one year…”


    Silence reigned for a few seconds, then chaos ensued.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
