“It’s pointless. There are too many of them. The only way to stop them is if I die with them, and I’llmake sure they never come back,” Clarissa said bitterly. “Mr. Dunn, you’ve been with me fordecades, and I trust you completely. If you survive, go replace Kathryn and let her take over. She’scapable. Once Kathryn secures her place as matriarch, you can go wherever you like. I’ll set youfree.” Mr. Dunn couldn’t stay with Kathryn because Pedro was already by her side. But if he helpedClarissa bring Kathryn back and secure her position, he could retire peacefully— a good ending forhis years of service. Clarissa continued, “If I die, Holden will go down with me. Otherwise, he’ll become too arrogant.Kathryn may be his daughter, but I worry he’ll use his status to suppress her. As for my threesons… well, their fate is in their own hands.” Clarissa closed her eyes. She could only save the one who mattered most. Holden had warned his sons, but they didn’t listen, thinking they could avoid trouble. Who couldthey blame but themselves? Holden’s main concern was his children and grandchildren becausethey carried the Janzen name. Clarissa’s priority was Kathryn, who carried her name. “Someone’s coming. That’s all for now,” Clarissa said, hanging up the phone and placing it back onthe table as if nothing had happened. The person who entered was Kathryn’s double. She looked very much like Kathryn. With some makeup and mimicking Kathryn’s mannerisms, evenHolden and his sons didn’t realize this wasn’t the real Kathryn. Holden was relieved when he saw“Kathryn” still at the mansion and assumed Clarissa hadn’t made arrangements for her to leave.Believing Kathryn was safe at home, Holden felt confident their family wouldn’t fall apart. Still, he warned his sons to stay close to their sister, even if it meant just being followers. He had afeeling that if a crisis came, Clarissa would save Kathryn first, and by being close, his sons might besaved too. Marco and his brothers followed the fake Kathryn inside. “Mom,” the double said, keeping it casual. Kathryn and Clarissa weren’t particularly close, so the

greeting couldn’t be too affectionate. “Is everything set?” Clarissa asked calmly. “Have the tribe members arrived?” “Mom,” Marco and his brothers also greeted her as they sat down. The fake Kathryn responded, “Yes, everything’s arranged. Some of the tribe members are stillworking, some finished early, and some are already home. They’re arriving bit by bit. Some peoplewho weren’t invited are also showing up, saying they want to help. We’ll need lots of good food, andwe’re short on workers, so it’s good they came to help, even uninvited.” Clarissa nodded. Once the fake Kathryn finished answering, Marco jumped in. “Mom, there are a lot of reportersoutside. They’re taking pictures of the house. I asked the butler, and we didn’t invite them. I thinkAudrey did. Should we make them leave?” Even an idiot could tell tonight’s dinner was a trap—a feud between generations. Why would they invite reporters to witness that? Were they planning to air all the family’s dirtylaundry? Some things are meant to stay private.
