Chapter 177 Secret of Ken Part Two


    "I..." Jessie didn''t expect that Ken woulde in at this moment. She just stood there, not knowing


    what to do.


    "What are you doing here? Didn''t I say that no one is allowed toe in here? Here, nobody dares to


    defy my order. Jessie, don''t think that you can do anything you want just because you are my


    granddaughter." Ken walked towards her step by step, with anger burning in his turbid eyes.


    Jessie bit her lips hard, stood still, and grasped the table behind her with her hands timidly.


    "Grandpa, I''m sorry. I... I didn''t know..."


    "You didn''t know?" Ken''s eyes darkened. "Don''t you know that the door is closed. How dare you get in


    without permission? Haven''t your parents taught you the basic family education since you were a


    child?"


    When Jessie was a child, she cared most about her parents and family. If she heard someone say


    something bad about her parents, she would be furious.


    "No, they haven''t!" She shouted at Ken, "You know nothing at all! You have no right to judge them! I


    know how well my mother has treated me. If there was anything wrong with me, just tell me. Don''t


    me my mother. What''s more, I''m not her own child at all. Even if she didn''t teach me anything, it''s


    not her fault. You know it better than I do!"


    The thought of her mother''s life made Jessie''s heart ache.


    Jessie thought her mother''s life would be better after she got married, but her mother died for no


    reason.


    If she had known it earlier, she would not have had to sacrifice herself to marry into the Lan family.


    Before Jessie got the chance to say anything, Ken was filled with fury. However, his anger disappeared


    instantly, and his heart was filled with guilt and self-usation when he heard from Jessie that "Who


    was responsible for that? You know it better than me!"


    He bent down painfully, picked up the photo album that had fallen on the ground and opened it up.


    Jessie was confused. She looked at him dazedly. There was sadness in his eyes which made Jessie


    confused.


    She asked, "Why did you take the photo with my mother? And who is that woman?"


    "That woman..." Ken sighed as he walked to the sofa and sat down with the album in his hand. He


    gently touched the woman in the photo with his wrinkled finger and said, "The woman you mentioned is


    called Cassie. She is the love of my life. She is also your grandmother."


    "Grandma?" Jessie wondered whether the grandma Ken mentioned was Irene''s mother or the mother


    of her biological mother. Jessie was confused.


    Ken continued, "Cassie was my fiancée, but then Shawn took her away, and Cassie was forced to


    marry in to the Xiao family. As for why I took photos with your mother and Cassie... That''s because


    Irene is the child of Cassie and me."


    What?


    Hearing that, Jessie widened her eyes in disbelief.


    Irene was the child of Shawn. How could she be Ken''s child now?


    Was her mother an illegitimate child of Ken and Cassie?


    Ken raised his eyes and waved his hand to let Jessiee and sit next to him. Jessie paused. She


    walked slowly and sat beside him.


    "Jessie, I know there are some things that you won''t be able to ept. But that''s the truth. I won''t deny


    what I did, and I won''t erase the damage that others have done to my life." Ken closed the photo album


    and said, "If it weren''t for the fact that Shawn forced Cassie to marry him, none of these would have


    happened now."


    Ken leaned against the sofa and looked at the painting. The sad memory came back to him.


    "What''s wrong with you, Cassie? It''ste. Why are you here drinking alone?" Ken just finished his work


    and drove home. When he passed by the riverside, he saw Cassie drinking alone on the riverside, with


    the cold wind blowing.


    Cassie turned her face and smiled, "It''s such a coincidence, Ken. I didn''t expect to see you here.


    Come, drink with me."


    "Stop drinking. Where is Shawn?" Ken had thought that she was just unhappy, and it might be because


    she had a fight with Shawn or the Xiao family members. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, under


    the neon light, Ken saw that there were many bruises on her face. His heart ached at once.


    He held her hand and asked, "How did you get your face hurt? Did Shawn beat you again?"


    Although it was a question, Ken was sure that it was Shawn who hurt her.


    He had pped her more than once.


    Cassie smiled bitterly, with tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at the colorful neon lights on the


    riverside.


    "Ken, what kind of life am I living? I think I''m just his vent. Whether he was happy or not, he can do


    anything to me without asking my will." When he was happy, he would press her on the bed and do


    what he wanted to do regardless of anything. If he was upset, he would beat her on the body without


    saying a word.


    She suffered the torture of living in hell. For several times, she really hoped that she could die like this.

    Ken was shocked. He stood beside her and his heart was broken.


    He wanted to reach out and hold her tightly into his arms. He wanted to tell her "leave him, go with me!"


    However, he didn''t dare to break the bottom line in his heart.


    He knew that no matter how cruel and heartless Shawn was, he could not do such a thing to betray his


    conscience.


    After all, she was married.


    He sat on the riverside with Cassie. After a while, Ken persuaded her to go home. In the middle of the


    night, a good woman was sitting on the riverside and drinking. Anyway, it was not a good thing.


    "Cassie, can you walk by yourself?"


    "Yes, I can."


    As soon as Cassie stood up, she felt dizzy. Seeing that she was about to fall down, Ken held her


    immediately. Cassie suddenly raised her head and looked into Ken''s gentle eyes.


    The two stared at each other, as if there was an electric current, causing them to tremble.


    Ken noticed that something was wrong with them. He immediately looked away and helped her to get


    in the car.


    When they were just off the road, Cassie suddenly said, "Ken, I want to go to your house."


    Ken was surprised.


    Cassieughed at herself, "Do you think I''m a loose woman? I have a husband and a child, but I still


    want to go with another man to his ce."


    "No, Cassie."


    "You don''t have to exin. I mean it." Cassie looked up at him and said, "You know I didn''t want to


    marry Shawn at all. You are always the one I love. But what can I do? My parents were afraid that that


    such a thing would be spread out. They were afraid that you would hate me because of this, and that I


    would have a bad reputation in the future. But they didn''t know at all that Shawn didn''t love me at all.


    He just wanted to have me. He was jealous of you, so he wanted to take me away from you, to show


    off to you. But, Ken, do you know that I''m not happy at all? I don''t know why I''m living like this! I really


    want to die. Really! I wanted tomit suicide for several times. But I was afraid, after all, the child is


    innocent."
