rissa said solemnly, "Even if my position as matriarch wasn''t obtained legitimately, it''s still legitimate for you to take over. If the leadership of the family returns to your aunt''s descendants, wouldn''t I have been a joke for the past few decades? I''ve lost so much because of it."


    rissa reached out and touched Kathryn''s red and swollen face. She said, "Kathryn, everything I''ve done was for your own good. I hope that everything in the Farrell family will be left to you."


    Kathryn looked at rissa, believing her intentions to leave everything in the Farrell family to her.


    However, everything in the Farrell family did not belong to rissa alone.


    rissa wanted to make the entire Farrell family her own. When Kathryn returned to rissa, she found that many in the family were dissatisfied with rissa because she was gradually abolishing the family rules bit by bit, just like the Lafayette family in Meadspring.


    rissa aimed to make everything in the Farrell family her own.


    It was no longer about the other family members.


    How could they obey rissa when their interests were being vited?


    Some who resisted were slowly suppressed by rissa, forcing them to flee,mit crimes and be caught, or die.


    These were all rissa''s actions.


    Kathryn did not object to rissa consolidating power and interests. If it were her, she might do the same.


    However, capable members of the Farrell family still needed to be nurtured, not eliminated.


    Kathryn also thought that if she were to take over the Farrell family, she would modify the family rules gradually but would not kill or harm anyone.


    The family wasrge and had many branches.


    The Farrell family''s rules were no longer suitable for today''s society.


    Some members had no special abilities but gained benefits by ttering others. They did nothing but show off and suppress dissenters.


    This phenomenon was widespread, and rissa didn''t care about it.


    Instead, she used those sycophants to suppress and harm the capable young talents, forcing them to leave and seek other opportunities.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    There were now very few capable young people in the family.


    Most people relied on the monthly living expenses they received from the Farrell n fund. These expenses were not much but also not too little, distributed based on the number of family members. Adults received living expenses configured to cover the most basic needs in Jensburg.


    The tuition fees of minors were taken into ount, so their monthly living expenses were slightly more thanm those of adults. The elderly received the same as adults, but those aged 65 and above didn''t need to pay for their medical expenses when hospitalized; the family foundation covered these costs.  In this environment, how many people would be motivated to strive for more?


    It seemed to only fosterziness.


    They didn''t have to work and wouldn''t starve. Forrge families, the monthly living expenses exceeded the earnings of many working people.


    Why work hard when the living expenses distributed by the family were more?


    shen Kathryn thought this was detrimental, as it only encouragedziness. She believed that minors, unless both parents were deceased, should not receive living expenses and study fees from the Farrell n fund.  If both parents were alive, it was their responsibility to support their children.
