He thought my saying I’d give up everything for him was just talk. He thought I could get money anytime, believing that with how much my brother and grandfather doted on me, they absolutely wouldn’t abandon me.
Yes, my brother and grandfather wouldn’t abandon me, but I didn’t have the face to go back. I abandoned my family for him, but he loved money more than he loved me.
I know I was wrong, but I didn’t have the courage to admit it. He started threatening me, saying if I didn’t give him money, he’d sell our story to gossip magazines. He knew the Ke family couldn’t tolerate scandal. He knew my… nude photos could make my brother pay a huge sum…”
Ke Xueyue broke down crying, burying her head in Yuan Xing Can’s embrace, who was already in tears.
”Xueyue…”
Poor Xueyue, how did she survive such a blow? Why would someone hurt such a kind girl so deeply?
Ke Nanyu said sternly: “Enough, don’t say anymore.” He didn’t want her to revisit past pain!
”Not talking about it means forgetting?” Ke Xueyue looked up, smiling weakly, “Brother, being able to speak about it means I’ve moved past it. I can even face him now.” Facing his madness, she no longer felt guilty. It wasn’t she who destroyed him, but his pursuit of money that harmed him.
”When grandfather learned of my situation, he was furious. He started giving him money, only asking that he divorce me, but he refused. He knew as long as I was by his side, money would never be scarce. But he was like a bottomless pit, no amount of money could fill his greed.” She took a deep breath, “At that time, I did something foolish. I thought death would be my liberation.”
Yuan Xing Can exclaimed: “No!”
Xueyue smiled slightly, tears flowing, “It’s okay. I’m doing well now, right?”
”Xueyue, stop. I’ll finish the rest,” Ke Nanyu looked at his sister with heartache.
