Sage could only comfort Holden.
He didnât dare to investigate whether Shiloh died accidentally or was pushed downstairs by her
brothers.
What Matriarch Farrell meant was that if Shiloh died, she would die, and no one in their family would
ever mention her again.
Holden could only complain in front of Sage.
âAfter Iâm discharged from the hospital, I wonât live with you. Iâll go back to the big house. I promise not
to anger your mother again. Iâm already in my seventies. Life counts one day at a time, but as long as
Iâm alive, I will protect you from wind and rain.â
âWith me here, if your mom is in a bad mood, you can vent to me, and you wonât have to face an angry
mother. You and your brothers should also be careful in the future. Pay attention. Although your mother
is your mother, she puts the Farrell family first. For the Farrell family, she can sacrifice your brothers at
any time. If you donât want to end up like me and Shiloh, you have to work hard to build your own
career so that you can survive without the Farrell family. Believe me, I and your mom have been
married for decades. I know very well what kind of person she is. Kathryn has no sisterhood with you. If
your mother doesnât deal with you, she will deal with you when Kathryn takes charge. She has the
same ruthless blood as your mother.â
Sage nodded and said, âDad, we know, but business is not easy to do now. Itâs not like we have never
started our own business. How is the business doing? We always lose money, and my mother has to
bear the responsibility.â
After a few attempts, they gave up.
They only bought houses and shops and then rented them out to others for business, charging a little
rent every month.
Once they rented out all the properties and shops under their names, the monthly rent became
prohibitive for ordinary people. As long as their small family did not spend too much money, they could
actually live very well.
But they had lived a life of fine clothing and fine food since they were young and were used to spending
money on things like water. The tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of rents every month were
not enough to cover their daily expenses.
Despite these incomes, their ability to invest in other businesses was severely limited. They could only
make small moves for the Farrell Group and put some money into their own pockets.
The savings in the name of the three brothers were only tens of millions. For the Farrell family, this sum
of money was insignificant.
The Farrell Group was already at the bottom of the big groups in Jensburg, but after all, the Farrell
family had been standing in Jensburg for more than a hundred years and had a profound foundation.
Even if the Farrell Group really went bankrupt, their family would still have a rich family fortune that they
could use freely.
According to the premise, the family member was still their biological mother.
If it were a biological sister, all they would get every month was basic living expenses, and they
wouldnât even think about a cent more.
Kathryn really had no sisterhood for them.
Sage: âDad, youâd better go live with me for a while first. Once my motherâs anger subsides, she will
welcome you back to live with her. My mother is accustomed to your presence.â
Holden nodded.
Holden: âWill your mother not pick me up when I leave the hospital?â
Sage: âMom didnât say it. Maybe we donât have time. It will be the same if we, the three brothers, call
Kathryn to pick you up.â
Sage and his brothers could just pick up Holden from the hospital.
Matriarch Farrell would come whenever she came. If she didnât come, they would not dare ask her to
come.
Holden sighed. He didnât know if he should regret the choices he made when he was young.
The cafe on the first floor of the Fortress Hotel.
Kathryn was sitting by the window. She wore a mask, sunglasses, and a hat to cover her facial
features.
She ordered a cup of coffee and a few exquisite snacks, then leaned back on her chair and looked out
the window.
About ten minutes later, someone opposite her pulled out a chair and sat down.
