'Ken did that?' Mark's eyes turned dark.
Caleb and John were astonished too. Caleb asked, "What was going on?"
"The resentment between the Qin family and the Xiao family is not as simple as we thought. Of course,
there is also another one involved - the Lan family." All of a sudden, Mark raised his eyes. Caleb,
together with John, looked curiously at Mark. With a charming smile on his lips, Jeffery continued, "Ken
was good friend of Shawn Xiao and Andrew Lan. The three of them were from good families, but
Shawn Xiao was better than the other two. Ken had a girlfriend at that time. The two of them were
about to get married, but in the end, she married Shawn. On the surface, everyone was harmonious,
but secretly, they hated each other to the core."
In the past, Ken and Shawn's wife, Cassie Yang, were a couple and were about to get married. But
they didn't expect that at a party, Ken had something to deal with and asked Shawn to take care of
Cassie who was drunk. But on that night, Shawn slept with Cassie.
They had wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but it turned out that Shawn had been secretly
in love with Cassie. Since they had slept together, he simply told the Xiao family what had happened.
Although the Yang family was not willing to, they had no choice but to agree on their marriage
considering their current situation.
When Ken knew it, it had been half a month after their marriage. He was very angry, but he also
resented himself. If he hadn't suddenly left, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
After Ken beat Shawn up, everyone thought that all the grudges between them would be put an end.
However, things were not as simple as they thought.
Within two months after Shawn and Cassie got married, Shawn attacked her. There were always minor
wounds on her face and body. Cassie did not know how many times she had thought of divorcing him.
Every time she saw Ken, she wanted to tell him that she had regretted, and she still loved him in her
heart.
However, every time she went out, Shawn's devilish like eyes would always stare at her. No matter
where she went, she would always feel a terrible wind rising from the soles of her feet, making her
tremble with fear.
Since she was scared and timid, Cassie had no choice but to stay in the Xiao family. It was not until
she got pregnant that her life was more comfortable.
However, her good life didn't last long. After she gave birth less than one month, in the middle of one
night, Shawn suddenly came back. He crazily beat her again, causing her to bleed heavily in the lower
part of her body. At last, she was sent to the hospital by the Xiao family. The man, who was usually
gentle and elegant, was unexpectedly so brutal.
When Ken knew that Cassie lived such a terrible life, he immediately asked Cassie to divorce Shawn.
But in the end, Cassie chose to stay.
After all, they had a child.
Many years had passed, Ken also got married and gave birth to a child. Cassie gave birth to a second
child for Shawn. It seemed that all the miserable life had passed, but when Ken returned from abroad
and knew that Cassie was dead, he was grieved and regretful.
If he had known it earlier, he would have taken her away in spite of everything.
And his hatred of Shawn had been so deep buried in his heart.
Speaking of this story, it was inevitable to make people feel sad. Sometimes, tolerance and retreat
would cause irreparable consequences.
If Ken hadn't left, if Cassie had told Ken the truth and refused to marry Shawn, things wouldn't have
been like this.
But the reality often was like this. Even if they didn't get this result, or if there was another one, they
might not be satisfied neither.
After all, Cassie's life was destroyed by Shawn.
After hearing this, everyone was silent. They thought that it made sense that Ken had been trying to
take revenge on the Xiao family. After all, Cassie was the love of his life.
However, it seemed to be too exaggerated that he had been scheming for so many years in order to
take revenge on the Xiao family.
As time went by, many things could fade away slowly, especially when Ken got old, he should have
seen through many things at his age. But he still held such a grudge, so that the "grudge" would never
be erased from him for the rest of his life.
Even if they both suffered great losses.
"He hated Shawn. He can kill Shawn alone. Why did he kill all the members of the Xiao family? His
hatred was too much!" Caleb didn't understand. It made sense for him to kill Shawn. But the others in
the Xiao family had done nothing wrong. They were innocent. Caleb just couldn't figure out why Ken
had set on fire.
Jeffery sighed. "Indeed, the killer hired by Ken was asked to kill Shawn only. However, the only one to
blame was the fate of the Xiao family. The killer had tried to kill Shawn with gun. The bullet had just
rubbed through the curtain and caused fire. However, Shawn was shot to death. The Xiao family had
been sleeping in the middle of the night. They had no idea that there was a fire."
Everyone was speechless.
They were dumbfounded.
How could this happen?
The bullet pierced through the window and rubbed through the curtain. Even though it was big force,
how could a fire happen and burn all the people in the house to death? This was incredible.
What a coincidence!
If the house caught fire, smoke would be rising. People would be choked and there would be heat. Did
all the people in the house fall asleep deeply?
Even if they were in a sound sleep, they would get choked by the smoke and wake up. They couldn't
understand why they couldn't escape.
However, that was the fact.
Even if it could not be explained anymore, since it had happened, then it would be fact.
In this world, incredible things happened every day. However, in the end, there was no other choice but
to accept.
"But what does it have to do with the Lan family?" John asked.
"The Lan family..." Jeffery sat down on the sofa and turned to look at Mark. "Your grandfather has found
out that Ken was the backstage manipulator of what had happened to the Xiao family. However, he
didn't mention anything about it at all. Therefore, Ken didn't do anything to him. But your father used
this secret to threaten Ken in order to make his business better at that time, so..." Jeffery gestured at
his neck, indicating that Nelson had been killed because of it.
Mark didn't say anything. There was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
He knew that Nelson was not a good person since he was a child. Nelson often took advantage of
others and threatened others. As far as he was concerned, Ken was very powerful indeed, and Nelson
was just a businessman not so successful. It was possible for Nelson to take advantage of this secret
to threaten Ken and take some benefits from it.
But it wasn't surprising that Nelson had lots of enemies in the business circle. Ken was just one of
them.
However, it had nothing to do with him!
Did they catch Jessie just to force him?
