"Why are you so quiet? Didn't you want to say something?" Looking at the old and young people in
front of her, Jessie said contemptuously, "You say that you are my family, but you keep me here. Is this
the way you love your family? If you can only treat your family in this way, I would rather die!"
"Jessie!" Lawrence warned in a stern voice.
"Don't put on a fake face. You make me sick!"
"You..."
Lawrence could tell that Jessie had made up her mind that she'd rather die if she couldn't get out of
here today. That's why she talked with Ken like that. But Lawrence knew that even if Jessie pissed Ken
off, she wouldn't get what she wanted.
Ken would never let her leave or die.
"Jessie, you can go out if you want. You can leave here when Mark is dead." Ken said. There was no
sign of anger on his face, but a hint of terror.
Hearing that, Jessie widened her eyes and her chest heaved. She really didn't understand how much
hatred they had with Mark and why they had to kill him.
Would they give up only when Mark was dead?
"Okay! If you really want to kill him, kill me as well. Anyway, I am just a tool for you to throw away after
you succeed, right? Whether I'm alive or not, you don't care."
"We don't care? If I don't care about you, I won't force you to stay here. I will kill all of you!"
"The way you care about people is to hurt and torture them constantly, right? If so, I don't need it!"
"I don't care if you need it or not. Anyway, you can't be with Mark for the rest of your life! Even if you die
today, I won't let you be buried together. Even if you die here today, you won't be able to see him
again!"
"Why not?" Ken didn't want to talk with Jessie anymore. He turned around and walked away. Jessie
was so angry that she shouted, "Shawn, stop there! Make it clear to me. Why can't I be with him?
Why?"
As soon as Ken heard that Jessie call him Shawn, he turned around and glared at her angrily. "Why?
Because he is our enemy!"
Jessie was stunned.
Enemy? What enemy?!
The so-called enemy? Enemy of the Lin family or the Xiao family?
"What are you talking about? How could Mark be our enemy? Make it clear!"
Ken glanced at her and was obviously disappointed in his granddaughter.
"If you want to know the reason, I'll tell you now."
"Grandpa!" Lawrence's heart ached for her. He wanted to stop Ken from telling the truth to Jessie.
"Grandpa, you promised me that you wouldn't tell her."
Ken looked at Lawrence, and when he was hesitating, Jessie realized that there was really something
between the two people, so she shouted loudly, "Lawrence, don't stop him. I'm already like this, and
there is nothing I cannot afford! Let him speak! Let him speak!"
"Jessie..." Lawrence sighed.
Ken walked to the sofa and sat down with a cold face. He turned the ring on his thumb and looked out
of the window.
After a while, he said, "One night in August twenty-one years ago, my son and his wife, who had been
pregnant for seven months, had a car accident on the way back from the airport. After more than ten
hours of rescue, they finally left me. Although my little granddaughter was born, she no longer had
parents. She had no family in the world except me, her grandfather. However, the next day, the
daughter of my good friend, the Xiao family, gave birth to her baby. But because of lack of oxygen, the
baby died. Both of us wanted the people alive to live happily, so I gave them my little granddaughter
who was just born for two days."
Hearing what Ken said, Jessie felt a sense of uneasy.
Gave to the Xiao family... Did he refer to her mother's family?
Then the little granddaughter that Ken mentioned...
It's her!
"Is the Xiao family you mentioned my mother's?" Asked Jessie confusedly. She didn't believe what Ken
said at all.
Ken turned to look at Jessie. Sadness and sympathy were written all over his face.
"Your name wasn't Jessie. It is Jasmine. Jasmine, you're the only blood of the Qin family. Grandpa
thought you would be happy to be the daughter of Irene, but... It's all my fault. I should have kept you
by my side. Even if you lost your parents' love, I shouldn't have sent you away. I'm so sorry."
Since Jessie was sent to the hospital, Ken investigated Jessie's life condition every year. He even
helped Darren secretly in order to get a better life for Jessie.
However, when he thought that Jessie would get a happy life there, he didn't expect that Darren would
mess around with women. He even brought Ivy and Ellie back home.
Ken was outraged. He just wanted to get Jessie back. However, when Jessie was just a little girl, he
didn't want her to face such a cruel fact.
Ken recalled one day he went to see Jessie. He saw her and asked "How did you get hurt? Do you
need grandfather to take you to the hospital?"
Hearing that, Jessie smiled innocently and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. These are just minor injuries. It
doesn't matter."
Ken asked, "Did you hurt yourself? Or did someone hit you?"
Hearing that, Jessie lowered her eyes, while a tinge of sadness appeared in her eyes. "My father beat
me because I was disobedient."
"Beat you? How did he beat you?"
"Stick!"
"Does it hurt? Aren't you angry with your father for beating you like this?"
Jessie shook her head, "Mom said dad worked very hard. We should understand him. Although dad
beat me, I know he must love me very very much."
Love...
Ken gnashed his teeth and felt heartbroken.
"Jessie, do you know how your parents died?"
"Didn't you just say a car accident?"
"Yes, they died in a car accident. But it was a man-made car accident." Ken stood up. His eyes filled
with hatred. He looked into Jessie's eyes and said, "Your parents were killed by the Lan family. So, you
can't be with Mark, nor can you fall in love with the blood of your enemy!"
Hearing that, Jessie staggered backward and hit the bedside. She staggered and sat down on the side
of the bed.
How... How could this happen...
She was not Irene's child, and her biological parents were killed by the Lan family!
How could it be possible?
She couldn't believe it.
Suddenly, she looked at Ken and shouted, "I don't believe you! Don't make up stories to lie to me! I
won't believe you!"
People said that life was like a drama, but how dramatic her life was!
The parents who had raised her for twenty-one years were not her biological parents. The man she
loved was actually the son of someone who killed her families! She couldn't believe that such a drama
would happen to her!
Jessie raised her head and laughed. Her laughter was full of helplessness and despair, and anyone
who heard it would feel sad.
Warm tears fell down from the corner of her eyes, and her heart sank into an ice cellar.
