Chapter 3550


    Holden said, "Kathryn, this is a small gift from me and your brothers. We''re family, so of course, we had to visit you in the hospital. I''m getting older and not as strong as I used to be, and I''ve been in the hospital myself recently, so I can''t take care of you. But your brothers are still young and can look after you. If you feel ufortable having them here, you can ask your sisters-inw toe and stay with you. There''s no need to rely on Mr. Fraser all the time-after all, he''s still a stranger."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Holden stressed the word "stranger," reminding Kathryn to keep her distance from Pedro. The people at the hospital, unaware of the situation, probably thought Pedro was Kathryn''s husband.


    Holden didn''t like Pedro. In fact, he despised the all-around assistant who was always by rissa''s side. Don''t be fooled by how friendly he seemed with Mr. Dunn, sometimes even acting like they were brothers. The truth was, Holden hated Mr. Dunn deeply.


    Mr. Dunn was more respected by rissa than her own husband and was trusted with everything. rissa confided in him, while she kept many things secret from Holden. He only knew what rissa wanted him to know, and nothing more.


    Holden could see the affection in Pedro''s eyes when he looked at Kathryn, and he didn''t want anything to develop between them. To him, Pedro was just a servant to Kathryn.


    Marco added, “Yes, Kathryn, your sisters-inw can take care of you. They can chat with you and keep youpany. Mr. Fraser is busy, so we shouldn''t burden him with this."


    rissa had suddenly ordered Holden and her sons to rece Pedro and not let him stay with Kathryn. They were her family, and they should be the ones taking care of her in the hospital.


    rissa had scolded them, using them ofcking any father-daughter or sibling bonds. Kathryn had been in the hospital for days, and they had only visited once or twice, and that too only when she asked them to.


    The three brothers especially got a harsh scolding.


    rissa had returned to work at thepany, but she was in a terrible mood. Her face was tense every day, as if someone owed her a fortune. The employees at Farrell Group had been on edge for the past few days.


    When the weekend finally arrived, rissa announced that everyone had to work overtime with no days off this week.


    Overtime usually came with extra


    pay, and in the past, no one would haveined. After all, weekend work meant double pay. But with rissa''s unpredictable mood,


    everyone was afraid of getting


    scolded, especially her sons The other employees had been looking forward to the weekend to relieve their stress, but now they had to work overtime.


    Everyoneined privately, but no one dared to refuse the overtime unless they were ready to quit their job.


    With the end of the year


    approaching, everyone was looking


    forward to their year-end bonuses.


    They didn''t want to miss out, so they


    decided to endure it for a little


    longer.


    Marco''s face twitched as he remembered the scolding he had received from rissa in her office earlier that day.


    She had berated him for not caring about Kathryn andcking any brotherly affection. She even warned him that his cold-heartedness woulde back to haunt him in the future.
