Pedro, however, was slightly different. He knew who Kathryn cared about, and if she were ever in trouble or danger, he would help without hesitation. This was perhaps because he had fallen in love with her.

Pedro remained silent.

"Go to the company. She wants to talk to you. If you don't go, she'll come here, and my mother and I will end up arguing again,” Kathryn instructed. Pedro hesitated. "I'll go, but I'm worried about leaving you alone here."

"There's nothing to worry about. The only one who might kill me is my mother. My father and brothers may want me dead, but they don't have the nerve to act on it. If they did, they wouldn't survive. Liberty and the others would never do such a thing. My mother won't kill me," Kathryn reassured him.

She was certain of this. If her mother had wanted her dead, it would have happened long ago.

Pedro pursed his lips. "Alright, I'll go. If anything happens, call me."

"Got it, now hurry."

With Kathryn's urging, Pedro headed to Farrell Group.

Clarissa had been in a bad mood since returning to the company, and even on weekends, many employees were working overtime. The office building was brightly lit, but the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

When Pedro entered the building, the only sound he could hear was his own footsteps.

The two receptionists noticed him entering. Perhaps Clarissa had informed them in advance, as they stood up, nodded, and smiled at him, gesturing for him to proceed without saying a word.

Pedro quickly took the elevator to the top floor and approached Clarissa's office. He knocked on the door.

"Come in," came Clarissa's voice after a moment.

Pedro entered and saw Mr. Dunn was also present.

Before Pedro arrived, he didn't know what Clarissa and Mr. Dunn had been discussing.

When Pedro entered, Clarissa looked

at him and instructed Mr. Dunn, "Prepare the necessary materials. The time and location can change as needed."

"You can leave now. I need to talk to Pedro."

Mr. Dunn responded respectfully and walked out. As he passed by Pedro, he paused, as if wanting to say something, but decided against it. Pedro approached Clarissa's desk.

"Madam," he greeted.

Clarissa nodded slightly, gesturing for him to sit where Mr. Dunn had been sitting. "Sit down."

Pedro sat as instructed.

Clarissa observed him for a moment.

Pedro remained calm and composed.

"You're a couple of years older than Kathryn, right?" Clarissa asked suddenly.

"Yes, I'm two years older than the young lady," Pedro replied. Kathryn was twenty-eight, and Pedro was thirty.

Clarissa nodded. "The New Year is approaching After that, Kathryn will be 29, and you'll be 31. You're both getting older. Many people your age are already married, some with children. But Kathryn doesn't seem interested in marriage. She's wary of men like her father and isn't keen on letting a man into her life."

Clarissa sighed, "I only have one daughter. She's not interested in love or marriage, and I'm worried. I've tried setting her up on dates, but she refuses to go. She says that exceptional men won't want to marry into the Farrell family and live in her shadow."
