Many lives were affected by the situation.

Decades have passed, and the law may no longer be able to impose a death sentence on her mother. At the very least, she could restore the position of family head to her aunt’s descendants.

She could leave the Farrell family and return to manage her own company.

She preferred to live a quiet life, free from moral dilemmas and the burdens of resentment and hatred.

After hearing her mother recount some past events, Kathryn believed her mother had committed truly wrongful acts. Her motivations seemed rooted not only in a desire for power but also in complex feelings of love and hatred.

At seventy, her mother was still close to her, while her father had been married for decades and had four children.

Yet deep within her mother’s heart remained the memory of that remarkable man, her aunt’s assistant.

Kathryn declared, “No matter what you say, it won’t change anything. I will prove through actions that my mother and I are not the same.”

Liberty gazed at Kathryn for a long moment, smiled, and remarked, “You look so righteous and beautiful. If your mother were to see you, she would find you dazzling.”

“What is your family situation like now? I heard your dad cheated on your mom, and she caught him. I haven’t seen your dad around for the past two days.”

Liberty had just arrived and was aware of the situation between Matriarch Farrell and Holden.

In Jensburg, this was significant news.

Most of the older men who usually socialized with Holden sympathized with him, feeling that Matriarch Farrell was overly strict, allowing him little freedom and minimal spending money.

No matter how strong a couple’s relationship might be, it can deteriorate due to prolonged conflicts.

The Farrell family was somewhat strict in controlling their husbands. Holden believed that Matriarch Farrell was not a good person, and he contemplated asking his wife for a divorce. What constitutes cheating?

Holden wanted to maintain his marriage to Matriarch Farrell while also seeking happiness outside of it. After all, didn’t the money he spent come from the Farrell family?

The Farrell family imposed strict rules on their husbands, limiting their daily allowances to no more than $500. However, Matriarch Farrell had provided many benefits to the Janzen family, allowing them to enjoy a happy life due to the Farrell family’s support.

Holden had received numerous advantages from the Farrell family. Even in his old age, he betrayed his wife, Matriarch Farrell. It was surprising that she could accept such behavior.

Kathryn expressed her frustration, saying, “It’s chaotic. My dad cheated on me, and my three brothers also betrayed their wives. It’s typical that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be too. My dad evades responsibility by claiming that my mom is too strict with him. He may be old and have fewer responsibilities, but my three sisters-in-law are not elderly; the youngest is only a few years older than me, and they take great care of themselves.

When my mom returned, she discovered my dad’s infidelity and gave him a stern lesson. He has been recovering at home for the past two days. How could he have the audacity to go out and meet people? Dad received money from my three brothers and Shiloh to enjoy himself outside, but since Mom punished him, he has stayed home to recuperate.

I just wonder if they can genuinely change. I suspect that if they don’t, they will continue to cause trouble.”

Kathryn boldly claimed that her three brothers secretly socialized with women outside their marriages. They seemed weary of their beautiful wives at home. The women they sought outside might not be more attractive than her sisters-in-law; it’s just how men are. Even with lovely wives, they often believe that the women outside are not only appealing but also captivating.

Witnessing such a marriage, Kathryn felt disheartened and doubted she would ever find a loyal partner in the future.

She hoped to uncover the truth behind her aunt’s death before turning thirty and reclaim her position as head of the Farrell family, freeing herself from its constraints.

Ultimately, she believed it would be better to find a good man and lead an ordinary life than to marry into a wealthy family and become a young mistress.
