Kathryn said, “What are you going to do? My mother knows you’re coming. She won’t take any action. You should focus on yourself. If you want to know something and I have that information, I will share it with you.”
Liberty suppressed a smile, looked at Kathryn earnestly for a moment, and replied, “Kathryn, we’ve met before, and I genuinely believe that you have a good heart. Your values are intact, but this is your mother we’re talking about. You share a biological bond; you won’t be able to take opposing sides.”
Kathryn’s smile gradually faded, and she sighed, “Yes, she is my biological mother. To oppose her requires a lot of pressure and courage on my part. I understand why you might be cautious around me. But Liberty, I truly care about you and I worry about your well-being. My mother can be very harsh.”
“In truth, my mother and I don’t share a strong mother-daughter bond. I didn’t grow up by her side; I only returned when I was in my twenties. Since Shiloh remained with the Farrell family, they continued to favor her. I understand that even if I claim my mother and I lack affection, it doesn’t change the fact that we are still biologically related.”
“If it weren’t for you, I think I would have eventually taken over as the head of the Farrell family, stepping into her role and leading the family forward.”
Kathryn aspired to reform the Farrell family’s traditions and rules.
She didn’t want to adhere to such rigidity.
Though the cost of these changes might be significant,
The aim was also to enable the family to progress further and thrive. Book chapters are updated daily. Join us to stay informed about all book updates! Kathryn took out a business card and handed it to Liberty, saying, “This is my other phone number. Not many people know about it. If you need anything, just give me a call.” Liberty accepted the card, looked at the number, and noticed that the company name and address did not belong to Farrell’s Group. Kathryn explained, “That’s a company I started before I rejoined the Farrell family. I have a strong passion for making money, perhaps due to my upbringing. While in school, I focused not only on my studies but also on finding ways to earn money. By the time I graduated from college, I had already accumulated significant wealth, and after graduation, I dedicated more time and energy to my business, eventually starting my own company.”
She added, “Even if I hadn’t returned to the Farrell family, I would still be somewhat wealthy, though I can’t compare to your sister.” Serenity’s net worth was already in the hundreds of millions. However, Kathryn had earned all her wealth through her own efforts. Kathryn continued, “Not even my mother is aware of these things about me; I haven’t shared them with anyone in the Farrell family.” Liberty replied, “Thank you for trusting me.” She put the business card away. Kathryn then looked at Liberty earnestly and said, “I also want to uncover what happened back then—whether it was my mother who orchestrated it and whether she harmed her sisters. The position of head of the Farrell family is indeed very appealing, as the power it holds is immense, whether within the clan, the company, or at home.”
Everyone has a voice. If I am to take on the role of head of the Farrell family, I desire to do so with honor and integrity, free from any guilt. If her mother, the current matriarch, truly killed her sisters to ascend to power and become the family’s leader, then she has arrived at the wrong destination. Although Kathryn has succeeded her mother, it has come at the expense of her aunt’s descendants, stripping them of their benefits and status. This would weigh heavily on her conscience.
