Chapter 3621

Kathryn said, “Even if I leave Jensburg, I’ll still be your daughter, and I’ll still be a Farrell. I don’twant to change my last name to Janzen.” She preferred her mother’s surname over her biological father’s. “Mom, do you need me to go back to the company?” Kathryn asked, her tone softening. Despiteeverything, they were still mother and daughter. Kathryn resented Clarissa for betraying her, but she was still willing to help her mother withbusiness matters. “No need,” Clarissa replied. “I’ve already informed everyone that you’re not feeling well and thatyou’ll be staying home to rest.” In reality, Clarissa didn’t want Kathryn to be too involved. She hoped Kathryn would leave Jensburgwith Pedro, start fresh somewhere far away. Clarissa had entrusted Kathryn to Pedro, but he couldn’t keep secrets. He told Kathryn aboutClarissa’s plans and the drug powder she had given him. Kathryn didn’t understand her mother’s intentions, didn’t take her advice, and refused to follow herplans. Clarissa, who had lived a relatively easy life, was now faced with Kathryn’s resistance. After hanging up with Kathryn, Clarissa called her eldest son, Marco. Whenever her sons did something, Marco usually led the way. He would involve his youngerbrothers, sharing the responsibility so that they all faced the consequences together. When the police arrived, Marco and his brothers were not at the company. As tensions between the Farrell family and Liberty escalated, more people from Wiltspoon gotinvolved. Marco began to realize his father’s intentions—urging the brothers to leave the Farrellfamily and return to the Janzen family’s hometown. But now, even if they wanted to leave, their mother might not let them go. Marco and his brothers privately agreed to stay. They needed to see who would win the conflict. Ifthey left now and their mother won, she might no longer trust them or share the family’s wealth withthem. Everything might go to Kathryn.

If Shiloh were still alive, they could accept the Farrell family’s assets going to her. They had alwaysknown Shiloh would inherit. But Kathryn, who grew up in the countryside and only recently joinedthe family business, was not someone they were willing to let inherit everything. So, they decided to stay, sending their wives and children back to the Janzen hometown to wait forthe New Year. They spent their time gathering information and helping Clarissa. In this, the brothers were muchmore capable than Kathryn. Marco was on a call with a CEO who had just rejected a business proposal when Clarissa called.He quickly handed off the CEO to his secretary and answered the call from his mother. “Mom,” Marco greeted her cautiously, wondering why she was calling. He started reviewing his actions that day, trying to remember if he had done anything wrong.
