Sooner or later, Matriarch Farrell would send someone to find Liberty, but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Liberty asked, “Is something wrong?” The Farrell family bodyguard replied respectfully, “Miss Hunt, our madam is hosting a banquet at home tonight and would like to invite you for dinner. She hopes you will accept. They are all relatives, so it should be a comfortable atmosphere. Our madam has also arranged for a room for you at her house. She believes it’s best if you don’t stay at the hotel. If she finds out, she will insist you live with her.” This was despite the fact that the Fortress Hotel was owned by the York Corporation. Liberty responded, “Please tell your madam that I will come for dinner tonight, but there’s no need for you to stay. I’m fine in the hotel; I don’t want to disturb them.” Moving into the Farrell house would put her in danger; Matriarch Farrell could turn hostile in an instant. Although it is often said that one must take risks to gain rewards, in this case, her safety was paramount. If she lost her life, nothing else would matter. The bodyguard was only tasked with delivering the message to Liberty, and once he received her response, he could leave. He said, “Miss Hunt, I will inform our madam and take my leave now, so I won’t disturb you further.” Liberty nodded slightly. The bodyguard turned and left, soon driving away from the Fortress Hotel. Liberty instructed her own bodyguard, “Please wait for me downstairs; I need to see Kevin.” She planned to inform Kevin about Matriarch Farrell’s dinner invitation. She intended to accept, as it was her mother’s former home, and she…

Liberty wanted to see where her mother lived. A few minutes later, she knocked on Kevin’s office door. Kevin was busy writing when he noticed it was Liberty entering, so he quickly picked up the document in front of him to cover it. He moved so swiftly that Liberty felt a bit startled. She suspected he was writing a love letter to Hayden but pretended not to notice his subtle actions.

“Sister Liberty, aren’t you out?” Kevin asked as he stood, walked around his desk, and invited her to sit on the sofa in the reception area. He then went to fetch her a glass of warm water.

“I went out this morning, returned for lunch, and rested for a while. Now I wanted to head out again, but the Farrell family stopped me,” Liberty explained.

Kevin suddenly asked, his tone anxious, “Do the people from the Farrell family really dare to touch you at the Fortress Hotel?” His question was a provocation for both Liberty and himself. Did they really think Liberty and Hank were powerless?

“That’s not true. No matter how foolish they are, they wouldn’t dare to touch me at the Fortress Hotel. Matriarch Farrell said she’s hosting a banquet at her home tonight and invited me to dinner. I believe the banquet is specifically for me.”

Kevin remarked, “It must be the Hongmen Banquet. Sister Liberty, I will accompany you.”

Liberty smiled, saying, “There’s no need; she won’t do anything to me now.”

Kevin responded, “Regardless of whether she intends to harm you, I can’t let you face danger alone. That old woman is cruel and ruthless. Don’t be naive; she knows that even without taking action, we and the Farrell family can’t coexist peacefully. She will never let you go, and the Farrell family won’t return to you.”

“Become Kathryn’s opponent.” His sister-in-law, Serenity, was not available at the moment. Elisa reiterated that she neither had the capability nor the desire to take over the Farrell family. Only Liberty was a viable choice. Before long, she would emerge as Kathryn’s most formidable rival.
