Kathryn’s voice echoed from the tea room: “I haven’t started working yet, so I’ve taken matters into my own hands.”

Marco replied, “You’re worried that someone might poison your coffee.”

Kathryn responded, “I’m not concerned about my secretary poisoning me. My real fear is that my eldest brother might.”

Marco’s expression darkened. Angrily, he said, “I am your elder brother; how could I ever harm you?”

Despite his disdain for Kathryn, his biological sister, Marco would not dare to lay a finger on her, at least while Matriarch Farrell was still alive. Once Matriarch Farrell was gone and Kathryn regained her power as head of the family, it would become even more challenging for him to confront her. If Kathryn didn’t betray him, he would consider himself fortunate.

Kathryn chuckled softly in the tea room and chose to remain silent.

After a brief wait, Kathryn emerged from the tea room.

She entered with two cups of coffee and approached the sofa, placing one cup in front of Marco before sitting down across from him. She glanced at her older brother.

Marco’s face soured at her gaze, and he asked, annoyed, “Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you know me anymore?”

“I barely recognize you. I can’t believe my eldest brother has become this way,” Kathryn replied bluntly. “Last night, you were cruel to my sister-in-law.

“A woman. Viewing your attitude toward my sister-in-law from a woman’s perspective is truly unsettling.”

Marco: “…”

Kathryn’s criticism left him at a loss for words. However, when he brought up the events of the previous night, he paused for a moment before saying to Kathryn, “Shiloh is dead; are you aware of that?”

Kathryn: “I know, Mom told me. Her death has nothing to do with me. You are the one who caused it.”

Marco: “Why do you think I killed her? It was clearly her mother and brothers who argued with her and pressured her, leading to her accident and death. They are the ones responsible. If your sister-in-law hadn’t contacted her mother and brothers, Shiloh would still be alive.”

Marco spoke bitterly, placing blame on Erika with both his words and tone. He believed that Erika had a hand in Shiloh’s demise.

Kathryn looked at him, feeling that Marco was beyond saving.
