Married at First Sight by Gu Lingfei Chapter 2381

After a brief pause, Matriarch Farrell considered for a moment and said, “Kathryn, you will stay home to manage the company and oversee the clan’s affairs. I’ll attend Young Master York’s wedding, and upon my return, I expect you to present a satisfactory report.”

Kathryn replied, “Understood, Mother. As you wish.”

Matriarch Farrell decided to travel to Wiltspoon to investigate the whereabouts of her two nieces.

Rumors within the clan suggested that Mrs. Stone in Wiltspoon was her eldest niece. She was well aware of this and was simply feigning ignorance.

Since she needed to be in Wiltspoon for Zachary’s wedding, it provided her the perfect opportunity to investigate.

Kathryn looked at her mother, and

“Mom, are you going alone? Won’t you go with Dad? I really want to accompany you, Mom. Wiltspoon is a vibrant city filled with opportunities. I wonder if our family business should expand there?” Kathryn continued to ask tentatively. She had been to Wiltspoon before, but her visit was secretive, and her mother later discovered her spending records from that trip. Fortunately, her visit to the Stone family went unnoticed.

When Liberty opened her new restaurant, she had Mr. Fraser send a gift in her stead, and it remained undiscovered. Otherwise, her mother’s keen intuition would have certainly led her to suspect Kathryn’s true motives for meeting Mrs. Stone. Regarding Mrs. Stone and the blood test, Mrs. Stone had not shared the results with Kathryn, nor had she informed her mother.

Kathryn was aware that her mother was acting suspiciously, especially since Mrs. Stone was connected to her cousin’s affairs, which likely raised her mother’s suspicion. This trip to Wiltspoon would keep her mother away for at least ten days to two weeks before she returned.

Matriarch Farrell said…

Indifferently, she remarked, “You can’t become an overweight woman by just taking one bite. Kathryn, you haven’t even fully resolved the affairs at our headquarters yet, so don’t entertain thoughts of expanding our territory.”

“All sectors in Wiltspoon are saturated, dominated by two major companies: York Corporation and Stone Group. FC & Co. also has a branch there, and Mr. Tim Johnson, the fifth young master, is personally overseeing operations in Wiltspoon. Let’s go there and discuss matters; there’s no more opportunity left to exploit.”

“Kathryn, focus on managing our existing site properly. The Farrell family was once among the elite in Jensburg, but now we find ourselves at the bottom. If your generation fails to rise, we will soon drop off the list of the wealthiest families.”

Matriarch Farrell sighed after her words, “I feel incompetent. When your grandmother was alive, our family was at its peak. Your aunt was able to maintain our status when she took over the Farrell family.”

“After your aunt departed, my sister also passed away, leaving me to take on the responsibility of the Farrell family. However, I hadn’t received the necessary training for this role, so I felt somewhat overwhelmed when I stepped in.”

Although I have managed to stabilize the situation, the Farrell family has suffered greatly and has been on a downward trajectory since then.

Reflecting on the past and the former glory of the Farrell family, Matriarch Farrell was filled with pride, as if she were solely responsible for those achievements.

As I age, I realize that no matter how hard I work, I won’t be able to sustain it for many more years. Initially, I placed all my hopes in Shiloh, but to my dismay, I discovered she is not of our bloodline. It’s no surprise that despite my efforts to nurture her, she will always fall short compared to you.

Kathryn has only been back with the Farrell family for a little over a year, yet Matriarch Farrell can see that her biological daughter is naturally gifted in business. She also understands how to feign weakness, cooperating with her daughter to create the impression that Kathryn is a helpless bystander.

This has led to the mistaken belief that she still favors her adopted daughter over her own, gradually revealing her true nature to those around her.

Those ambitious individuals also trained their own daughter. The chaos she created while leading the household will now be left for her daughter to resolve.
