When Holden realized the situation, he quickly exclaimed, “Honey, there’s something wrong with the wine. It must be the wine. Shiloh and I reacted like this after drinking it. Are you hosting a banquet at home tonight? Is anyone else there? Someone must have tampered with the drink.”

“It’s someone named Liberty. She’s a descendant of your sister. Many people claim that you killed your sister, and now she has come to seek revenge. She doesn’t want to make your life easy, knowing you care for her the most. You want Shiloh, but since Shiloh isn’t our biological daughter, Liberty has orchestrated this situation to turn us against you.”

Matriarch Farrell recognized that the drink was indeed suspect. She scoffed, saying, “Liberty hasn’t touched a drink since she arrived, so how could she scheme against you and Shiloh? Holden, even if you two did conspire, it wouldn’t be Liberty. I know she came to Jensburg for the sake of the Farrell family.”

“I may be old, but I’m not so confused that I can’t see the truth. If you’re looking to blame Liberty for this, you will fail. Tonight, not only will Liberty be present, but also Mr. Queen and Mr. York. They were all witnesses, and many from the clan will be observing.”

“Don’t even mention Liberty. You won’t find a scapegoat among our clan. Shiloh was the one who brought you food, including a bottle of wine that remains unopened. You can drink that. But you brought the wine from Marco.”

“So, the one who plotted against you is Marco?”

Upon analyzing the situation, Matriarch Farrell’s expression grew even more grim.

Holden was also taken aback; he never expected his eldest son would betray him.

Impossible!

Marco was his firstborn, someone he cared for deeply. Moreover, Marco carried the Janzen surname and was a proud descendant of the Janzen family. His love for him was unwavering.

Shiloh’s intention was to foster a positive relationship between father and daughter until she could assume control. This would allow him and the Janzen family to reap greater benefits.

“There’s no reason for Marco to act this way,” Matriarch Farrell remarked coldly. “That person may be Shiloh, the one who brings you food upstairs.”

Holden replied, “It can’t be Marco. Marco is my biological son, and he would never treat me like this. Please, my wife, I am truly being plotted against. You must believe me. No matter how lustful I may seem, I will never be unfaithful to Shiloh.”

“But you are already involved with her,” Matriarch Farrell retorted coldly. “I will never forget that moment. I expelled Shiloh because she does not belong to the Farrell family; she is not my daughter. Her father harmed my daughter and me, undermining our relationship of over 20 years. I didn’t take my frustration out on her.

However, she is now sleeping with you. I don’t care how it happened; I cannot accept it. From this moment on, she is no longer part of my Farrell family. I will reclaim everything I’ve given her; she is just the daughter of a servant!

My biological daughter is Kathryn! As for you, Holden, you harbor resentment towards me. You have long contemplated betraying me, and you have a history of infidelity. I will never trust you again, no matter what you say.

Now, you have two choices: either divorce me and leave the Farrell family, or take your own life.

Once you become an old eunuch, I can be assured that our marriage will last until death, allowing you to retain some dignity.”

Holden’s expression changed dramatically.

Matriarch Farrell stood up, walked to the back of the desk, opened the drawer, retrieved a pair of scissors, and then threw them in front of him.

Holden.

She took a seat at the desk and observed Holden’s indifferent choices.

Holden shook with fear.

If he were to get divorced, it would feel like the end for him. Moreover, Matriarch Farrell would not allow him to leave. Despite her seemingly generous words, she would not hesitate to make things difficult for him if she became angry.
