Mrs. Farrell said, “Mom didn’t accuse you of causing Shiloh to fall, but you are so close to her. When your sister falls, you don’t know how to come to her aid.”

It was well known that Mrs. Farrell had a preference for adopting a daughter from Jensburg.

As soon as she spoke, everyone in the room secretly thought that Mrs. Farrell was simply confused.

When the adopted daughter fell, Mrs. Farrell blamed her own daughter for failing to help.

Wasn’t Shiloh capable of getting up by herself?

Did she not get along well with Kathryn?

“That’s right, Shiloh fell in such a messy way, and Kathryn, you just stood there and watched. You show no sisterly support and seem pleased to see Shiloh embarrassed and disheveled,” remarked Young Mistress Farrell.

Clearly, it wasn’t Kathryn’s fault, yet the blame was directed at her.

Kathryn opened her mouth to respond but ultimately said nothing, lowering her head in apparent distress.

It was infuriating to witness.

Everyone thought the Farrell family was misguided.

Shiloh’s biological father had reduced Kathryn, a genuine wealthy lady, to the status of a housekeeper’s daughter from birth, sending her to be raised in the countryside.

Shiloh had taken everything that rightfully belonged to Kathryn. It was a blessing when fate finally allowed Kathryn’s true identity to be recognized, yet the Farrell family continued to favor Shiloh, treating Kathryn like an insignificant ornament.

Even Kathryn’s own mother treated her in this manner.

A year had passed since Kathryn returned to the Farrell family, during which she accompanied Mrs. Farrell countless times for social events. Observers noted Mrs. Farrell’s dissatisfaction with Kathryn, and she…

Kathryn had never received a smile from her in front of others. Despite now working in the Farrell family business, it appeared that Kathryn had been granted a considerable amount of power, albeit superficial. Everyone knew that Kathryn had grown up in the countryside with limited knowledge and skills, and her rise within the Farrell Group was hardly surprising; it was no wonder she won people’s affection.

The three sons of the Farrell family, Kathryn’s older brothers, consistently set traps for her, whether within the company or in business, obstructing her ascent. Not to mention Shiloh, who was desperately unwilling to lose everything.

“Eldest Young Mistress Farrell, you are casting blame on Ms. Kathryn. Which of your eyes saw anything to be pleased about regarding her? It took just a moment for Ms. Shiloh to fall, and we barely had time to react before you rushed out.

Your response was so swift that it seems you must have calculated Ms. Shiloh’s fall in advance,” Hayden remarked.

Although Hayden had stepped back from assisting her younger brother and Kathryn, she held great admiration for Kathryn and could not bear to see her wronged. She typically refrained from interfering in others’ matters, but she felt compelled to defend Kathryn against Young Mistress Farrell’s accusations.

Whenever Eldest Young Mistress Farrell attempted to tarnish Kathryn’s reputation, Hayden was there to challenge her.

“Young Master Queen, you…”

“Enough!” Mrs. Farrell interjected sharply.

Eldest Young Mistress Farrell fell silent.

Mrs. Farrell then turned to Shiloh with concern, asking, “Shiloh, are you alright?”
