Kathryn had been in the hospital recently and hadnât done anything. If anyone acted, it was Pedro,
not her.
Clarissa asked, âYou know I went to the cemetery, right? Did you tell Liberty? Also, the police came
to the company and asked to see me. Did you betray me? How much do you know?â Kathryn
replied, âMom, I was in the hospital for days, too weak to get out of bed at first. Pedro had to help
me with everything. What could someone in my condition possibly do? I told you I didnât do anything
recently. Do you believe me?â
âI know you went to the cemetery. You werenât exactly subtle about it, bringing a group of
bodyguards. There are also groundskeepers at the cemetery. Everyone else in the clan knew about
it, so of course, I did too.
Did you go there to pay your respects or to burn down the Farrell familyâs ancestors?â Clarissa was
left speechless.
How could she have raised such an ungrateful daughter?
She was so furious she couldnât even argue.
âIf the police came to the company, you should be asking your three sons if they did anything illegal,
not me. I wasnât given control of Farrellâs illegal or questionable businesses. Farrellâs has no shady
dealings, let alone anything illegal.â
Clarissa glared at Kathryn. âYou can say whatever you want, but donât you dare ruin Farrellâs
reputation. That company is for you and your daughter. If you destroy it, youâll only be hurting your
own interests.â
Kathryn remained calm. âMom, since you say Farrellâs hasnât done anything illegal, then why are
you so anxious and afraid?
Even if your three sons did something illegal, let them be arrested. It wonât affect you, except maybe
Farrellâs reputation.â Clarissa was stunned.
She hadnât even asked her sons if they had done something illegal and gotten caught. Instead, she
immediately suspected her daughter.
Kathryn had Pedro by her side, and with her personality, she was unlikely to do anything illegal. But
her sons were a different story.
They werenât the brightest, and if they did something illegal, they probably didnât cover their tracks
well, making it easy for someone to report them.
As Clarissa thought about it, she calmed down. Perhaps she was just feeling guilty. When she
heard the police had come to the company, her first thought was that her hidden gun had been
discovered.
Even her family didnât know about the gun, so how could outsiders? If Liberty had the means to find
out, they wouldnât have waited this long to report her. They wouldâve done so immediately, and she
wouldâve been arrested long ago.
Liberty relied on the Bucham family for information, but the Buchams werenât allpowerful.
âKathryn, why wonât you follow the path Iâve laid out for you? Iâm doing this for your own good. I
would never harm you.
I may be ruthless and not a good person, but my love for you is sincere. I just want you to live a
good life. If you ever have to leave Jensburg, take Pedro and never come back.
Consider these past two years with the Farrell family a dream. When you wake up, youâll no longer
be the Farrell familyâs successor. Youâll be Kathryn Janzen, the daughter of the Janzen family.â
Clarissa didnât love Holden, but they had been married for decades. Kathryn was Holdenâs daughter,
so if she didnât take the Farrell name, she would take the Janzen name.
