Love at First Novel

Chapter 3552

Kathryn's words were a direct echo of Clarissa's, blunt and without any pretense. She didn't bother giving them any respect, showing the same strength that the women of the Farrell family were known for.

Marco silently grumbled about Kathryn. He couldn't help but think Holden was the only one who could truly endure such strong-willed women. If Holden were a Ninja Turtle, they were the little Ninja Turtles, forced to obey and endure under Clarissa's overpowering influence.

"Kathryn, we're family," Marco said.

"You've never treated me like family," Kathryn responded coldly. "In your eyes, the only daughter and sister you have is Shiloh. Let's not pretend otherwise."

She continued, "Dad, there's no need to act like the loving father now. You might be able to play that role, but I can't. Since I returned, I've seen how you really feel about me."

Back when Shiloh was alive, Holden had tried to arrange a marriage for Kathryn, but the man he chose was just another spoiled rich kid. If he truly cared about her, how could he set her up with someone like that?

The bond between Kathryn and Holden was shallow, and she didn't push it. Maybe she was just destined to have a distant relationship with her family.

Kathryn asked, "Did Mom send you here to get rid of Pedro? Without him by my side, does she plan to control me or drug me again?"

She continued, "Brother, go back and

.n

tell Mom that when someone makes a mistake, they have to face the consequences. It's not that I don't want to support her, but I can't. convince myself to stand by her no matter what. If I had grown up with her, maybe I would've been like Shiloh, blindly following her. But that's not who I am. What Mom is doing isn't right."

Marco smiled awkwardly, "Kathryn, no matter what, we're your real family. We share the same blood. Family is what matters most. People are selfish. If you don't look out for yourself, no one will.”

Kathryn remained firm, "Brother, I'm not a child. know what I should and shouldn't do. Don't try to persuade me. If Mom really wants to take Pedro away from me, she might as well kick me out of the Farrel family too. I don't care to stay."

Marco was at a loss for words.

Just then, Kathryn's phone rang. Seeing it was Clarissa, she took a deep breath and answered.

"Your father and brother couldn't convince you," Clarissa said calmly. She knew her sons wouldn't be able to complete the task she had given them.

"Mom, you once told me that from the moment Pedro came to me, he was mine for life. He belongs to me, and I won't let him go!"

Kathryn was determined. If Clarissa

wanted to drive Pedro away, then

she wouldn't be the successor of the Farrell family. How could she lead the family if she couldn't even make her own decisions? To be the

successor, she needed to have full control. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
