Kathryn couldn’t fault Shiloh for grinding her teeth at the mention of Kevin, whom she labeled a scoundrel and shameless for taking away her favorite, Hayden. Pedro spoke up, “Miss, you can dismiss the villain who exposed this matter to Young Master York. He has begun to openly and covertly target the Farrell family.” To the Farrell family, Kevin was certainly an adversary. Considering the relationship between the Farrell family and Mrs. Stone, along with Kathryn’s views on Wiltspoon, Pedro felt a deep sigh escape him. His Miss Kathryn would not position herself as an enemy to Wiltspoon.

Kathryn was also determined to uncover the true cause behind the previous matriarch’s death. Pedro believed that if Kathryn ever uncovered evidence suggesting that the previous matriarch had been killed by the current one, she would renounce her status as the Farrell family’s successor and retreat to her own world. She was far more resilient than she appeared. In fact, prior to her return to the Farrell family, she had been a successful young entrepreneur. Due to her adoptive parents’ mistreatment and their constant attempts to exploit her, she had concealed her accomplishments, leading others to perceive her as weak and incompetent, assuming that Shiloh would inevitably become the next matriarch.

This was absurd; the Farrell family’s strict rules allowed no exceptions. If Kathryn were not the biological child of the Farrell family, she would be ineligible to inherit, regardless of her impressive abilities. The moment she discovered that she was not the biological daughter of the Farrell family, she forfeited her right to inheritance. “Kevin will remain unaware and will keep quiet. He will comply with your wishes. He has no interest in the Farrell family’s well-being. With that type of evidence, there’s no need to scheme against Mr. Janzen; Young Master York will take action himself. After all, it’s not a big deal.”

“Let’s just watch the excitement,” Pedro said. “Serenity is his sister-in-law,” Kathryn responded. “Zachary’s cousins all respect Serenity, the eldest sister-in-law.” Pedro hummed in agreement, “Then let’s just wait.” They anticipated Kevin informing Matriarch Farrell about Holden’s infidelity. Kathryn added, “You go ahead and eat; I’m full.” Pedro replied, “Okay.” Kathryn quickly ended the call. After removing the phone from his ear, Pedro stared at it for a long moment before placing it back into his trouser pocket. He then picked up a bag from the passenger seat, which also contained takeout meals. He often found himself eating on the go; he rarely had time to cook or find a nice place to sit down and enjoy his food. Typically, he would pack his meals, take them to the car, and eat once he was finished with his tasks. Kathryn had suggested he buy an RV, which he could afford with his income. However, unless Kathryn required daily food deliveries from him, an RV seemed unnecessary. While Kathryn could opt for takeout, he reasoned that he, too, deserved the same convenience, despite not being of noble status. After enduring rigorous training at the camp and facing numerous challenges, being assigned to Kathryn was already a significant blessing for him. If he failed various assessments and could not serve as the family head’s assistant or successor, he would likely be assigned as a bodyguard for the Farrell family, either to the head or the young masters. As an orphan raised in a training camp, his best outcome was to become Kathryn’s assistant. Once Kathryn had eaten and satisfied her hunger, she disposed of her bag in the trash can and took out some paper towels to wipe the grease from around her mouth. She cleaned the…

She returned to the table and discarded the paper towels. Leaning back in the black swivel chair, she picked up her phone and watched the video Pedro had sent her once more, intending to view it carefully before deleting it.
