Sage glanced around and whispered, “No one can hear us, right?” He refrained from speaking loudly in his own home, which made him feel uneasy. His dissatisfaction with the Farrell family’s rules was growing. In most families, sons inherit leadership roles, but in the Farrell family, it is the daughters who take charge. The daughters hold a higher status than the sons, and even though the male heirs share the Farrell blood, it is not their turn to lead the family.

Shiloh remarked, “Kathryn and the others have gone far away, so they shouldn’t be able to hear you. I just want to remind you to be discreet about your interests outside. Don’t let my three sisters-in-law find out, even if Mom is at home. Mom wants to support you, but if my sisters-in-law’s parents create a scene, Mom will handle you. Are you prepared to face a divorce?”

Marco replied, “The women outside are just for fun; I won’t marry any of them. Their backgrounds and status aren’t suitable for us.” He maintained a mistress from a poor family, providing her with a monthly allowance of $10,000, which she appreciated. Though his wife, Erika, came from a less affluent background, her family, the Irwin family, had some assets that could support his business endeavors.

Marco had always been ambitious. Knowing he would not inherit the Farrell family business, he planned to accumulate wealth on his own. Holding a high position in the Farrell Group and with the Irwin family’s assistance, he engaged in partnerships outside. With their support, he could profit significantly from the Farrell Group. That money was his. However, the Irwin family also possessed damaging evidence against him. If he divorced his wife and they shared that evidence with his mother, he would find himself in serious trouble.

them around. Moreover, he and his wife had welcomed several children into their family, so they constantly needed to prioritize their kids. He would never consider divorce. Sage remarked, “Brother, you’re correct. No matter how young and attractive the women outside may be, they are merely for fun. Shiloh, you should always speak kindly about your brothers in front of your sister-in-law to help improve the relationship between husband and wife.” After Erika discovered Marco’s infidelity, she caused several disturbances, and the Irwin family voiced many objections to him. His eldest brother-in-law even warned him that if he repeated his mistakes, they would ruin him. Marco was genuinely fearful of Erika’s brother, who was quite difficult to deal with. Offending him could lead to serious consequences. Shiloh commented, “The three sisters-in-law are increasingly displeased with me. They blame me for defending you, as you can see. Now they are all very affectionate toward Kathryn. It seems they believe I have no chance of taking over, so they are flattering Kathryn and trying to gain her favor.” Remembering the slap Erika had given her that day, Shiloh’s eyes filled with resentment. She had never before experienced such humiliation in her life. Yet, no one could be held accountable.
