Shiloh stated, “My mother has also asked me to cover Kathryn’s car repair costs. She doesn’t just have one car; one of them broke down, and it would be helpful to replace it. My mother mentioned that the repair expenses would amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don’t have much in savings, and that amount feels like it’s cutting into me, not to mention having to compensate Kathryn.” Holden replied, “There’s nothing I can do.” Both father and daughter were frustrated with Kathryn, yet felt powerless against her. They could only hope that Leo would take more initiative and pursue a relationship with Kathryn, as she could marry him, a member of a prominent family.

At that moment, a commotion erupted outside their home. The noise escalated, hinting at potential violence. The father and daughter exchanged worried glances, quickly standing up and heading outside. Erika, the eldest mistress of the Farrell family, had discovered her husband Marco with his girlfriend heading to a hotel. The couple argued all the way home and even began to fight once they arrived. Erika, in this moment, lost her composure, attacking Marco with wild abandon—scratching, pulling, and biting him. Although Marco was at fault, he felt a sudden stiffness in his waist upon returning home. He couldn’t allow his wife to assault him without retaliation. Instead, Erika ended up receiving a harsh beating from Marco, resulting in a bruised face and a swollen nose. Anguished and wronged, she collapsed to the ground, crying, “Marco, you hit me; you really hit me!” While Marco hadn’t struck her in that manner, his face and neck bore scratches from Erika’s long nails, which resembled goblin hands, leaving him with a burning pain.

neck, so he touched them. There was still some blood. The butler seized Marco and advised, “Young Master, please refrain from fighting with the Young Mistress. When the young Miss returns, she will scold you again.” Marco replied, “Am I still afraid of that country bumpkin? I thought she could control me just because she is the eldest lady of the Farrell family. I am still her eldest brother!” Marco had deceived Erika, and once she discovered the truth, the couple engaged in countless arguments. His sister, Kathryn, supported Erika while Marco faced relentless criticism, nearly driving him to madness.

Upon hearing the butler mention her true sister-in-law, Kathryn, Erika quickly crawled to the side, retrieved the bag that had fallen to the ground, took out her mobile phone, and called Kathryn. Kathryn answered promptly. “Kathryn, please come back quickly; your elder brother is going to kill me!” Erika exclaimed, pleading with her.

Half a month ago, Erika had no fondness for Kathryn, her sister-in-law, but now she viewed Kathryn as her savior. Her husband had cheated on her, and Shiloh, whom she had always tried to impress, was now aligned with Marco. Erika was furious.

Although Erika had previously had ulterior motives in her attempts to befriend Shiloh, hoping to instigate a conflict between Shiloh and Kathryn, she had genuinely liked Shiloh when she first married into the Farrell family. Shiloh, also a woman, had chosen to side with Marco, blaming Erika, the first wife, for not being able to keep her man, insisting it was her fault and that she couldn’t hold Marco accountable for his infidelity. In that moment, Erika felt resentment toward everyone in the Farrell family, except for Kathryn. Kathryn stood by her side, offering understanding and empathy as a fellow woman.

perspective. Unlike Shiloh, the white-eyed wolf who was not well-raised. However, she allowed Shiloh to roam freely without finishing her meal, revealing her insincerity. What right did she have to be so cruel?
