After a moment of silence, Hayden said, “They grew up together and share a brotherly bond. They can’t abruptly cut off all contact.”
Kathryn replied, “I understand.”
In the eyes of the three brothers, Kathryn, their biological sister, was seen as an intruder who disrupted their relationship with Shiloh.
Kathryn’s presence caused Shiloh’s status to diminish.
Initially, Matriarch Farrell favored Shiloh, and everyone believed Kathryn would be unable to take over the Farrell family, leading to widespread dislike for her.
However, two years later, when a crisis struck the Farrell family, it was Kathryn, the true daughter of the family, who took charge and assumed control.
Meanwhile, Shiloh, the false daughter who had been favored by Matriarch Farrell, found herself ruined and expelled from the family, left with nothing.
Accustomed to a life of luxury, Shiloh, much like Carrie, was unwilling to become independent. When she ran out of money, she turned to her three brothers for support.
While Carrie had never held a job and lacked work experience, making employment challenging, Shiloh had previously served as the vice president of the Farrell Group. Though not exceptional, she possessed some skills that would enable her to find a job and support herself.
The real issue was that she was used to a life of ease and struggled to cope with her drastic fall from grace.
Additionally, she wanted to meet her adoptive mother, Matriarch Farrell, to explain her situation and seek forgiveness.
If her adoptive mother could forgive her, even if she could not return to the Farrell family mansion, she hoped to reclaim the real estate shop her adoptive mother had given her, providing her with a place to stay.
remain in her position and maintain some income to support herself. Despite the poor performance of her shops, many of which had not been rented after their leases were canceled, she believed that if she retained them, she could resell them for a significant profit.
After selling her house, car, and shop, she would have a substantial amount of money. This would enable her to return to the town where her biological parents lived, leading to a better quality of life. In the urban area of Jensburg, any house or shop could fetch over $1 million, and she owned several shops in prime locations, each potentially selling for around $2 million.
If she could reclaim her former properties and sell them, her net worth could reach tens of millions. Upon her return to her biological parents’ town, she would be a wealthy woman.
“My dad will be discharged from the hospital soon,” Kathryn said casually. “Once he’s out, my mom will take charge again. She knows all the tricks they play, and it’s because of her leniency that they keep creating messes. Sister Liberty’s company is almost ready.”
Matriarch Farrell was primarily focused on keeping an eye on Liberty, viewing Shiloh merely as a pawn in her game. Once Shiloh had served her purpose and lost her value, Matriarch Farrell would discard her.
She was a woman of decisive action. Others mistakenly believed she held emotional attachments, unable to sever ties with Shiloh or the mother-daughter bond developed over more than twenty years.
Little did they realize how deeply Matriarch Farrell despised Shiloh’s biological father once the truth about the real and fake daughters was revealed, and her anger also extended toward Shiloh. However, Matriarch Farrell did not…
She treated Shiloh as well as ever and refused to allow her to return to her biological mother, insisting that Shiloh remain in the Farrell family as the second daughter. This was intended to keep everyone’s focus on Shiloh and support Kathryn’s studies. Shiloh remained complacent, believing that as an adopted daughter, she still had a chance to compete with Kathryn. However, how could the position of head of the family, which Matriarch Farrell obtained after eliminating her sisters, be given to an adopted daughter with no blood ties? Some people had unrealistic expectations. Hayden remarked, “Sister Liberty isn’t lacking in money or orders; once she chooses a direction, that’s final.” In reality, no matter what business Liberty pursued, she would always have orders. The three major families supporting Liberty, despite their distance, had significant influence. Their businesses spanned across major cities in the country, extending their reach considerably.
