Married At First Sight Chapter 3711 - Holden had been present when Clarissa made her will, and at the time, he didn't dare to object. The will stated that if Clarissa passed away before him, half of her private property would go to Kathryn, her biological daughter, who was to take over the family business. The remaining half would be divided equally among their three sons.
Shiloh was left out. The will only mentioned that before they discovered Shiloh wasn't part of the Farrell family, she didn't have to return what she had received and could continue using it. As for Holden, Clarissa's husband, he wasn't given anything directly. Instead, the will stated that his three sons would support him in the future. How much pocket money they gave him was up to them, not Clarissa.
After a long silence, Holden said, "Even if everything is divided as your mother wanted, you're still my child. Don't you have to take care of me in my old age?"
Kathryn replied, "I never said I wouldn't support you, Dad. If my brothers can't do it, I'll make sure you have enough money to live on. I won't let you starve."
Kathryn wouldn't abandon her father in his retirement, but this had nothing to do with her taking over the Farrell family business. She added, "Whether or not I take over the business has nothing to do with supporting you. Even without it, I can afford your expenses. You have four children. Are you really worried we can't support you?"
Holden, frustrated, responded, "It's not just about giving me a few hundred dollars a month. I want to live in a big villa, with a luxury car, and have servants to take care of me. I'm old, and life isn't easy. I need more than one servant-several, actually. If you
don't take over the family business, where will you get the money for all this? How much of your mother's property do you think you'll get, even if she favored you?"
Holden wasn't sure how much
private property Clarissa had, but he
assumed it was a lot. After taking
control of the family, Clarissa had worked hard to privatize much of the family's assets. Holden guessed it must be worth hundreds of millions, maybe even billions.
As he thought about all that money, resentment toward Clarissa flared up again. Why should he feel sad? He had been under her control for decades. Now that she was gone, he should feel relief, not grief.
His main concern now was to
secure his own benefits. If he
couldn't claim Clarissa's wealth, at least he could expect his children to treat him like the patriarch of the Farrelt family. The real frustration was that he had made himself an eunuch, or else he could've found another partner.
Kathryn looked at him for a moment before speaking. “If you're asking about my
mother's personal wealth, there isn't much. But over the years, she gradually merged the family business with her personal assets, so there is a significant amount."
"My mother killed both my aunts. My younger aunt had no children, so there's no one to compensate. But my eldest aunt had descendants. As my mother's daughter, even though she's gone, I feel obligated to make amends to my eldest aunt's family." Narugi.com
Hearing this, Holden's expression darkened. He glared at Kathryn and snapped, "Are you trying to drive me to my grave? You're going to give all your mother's wealth to Audrey and her family?"
