Chapter 3551


    They all knew that the Farrell family would eventually belong to Kathryn, and their futures depended on her. Yet, they still hadn''t figured out how to win her favor, treating her the same way they always had. It was as if they were blind and brainless.


    After being scolded by rissa, Marco didn''t dare say a word. She then instructed them to bring dinner to Kathryn after work.


    Marco knew better than to disobey rissa, so he quickly called Holden, asking him to whip up a few dishes, pack them, and bring them to the hospital. The father and brothers went together to visit Kathryn.


    But even Holden scolded them. He had advised his three sons to take their children back to his hometown to avoid the chaos within the Farrell family. But the sons only sent their children away, choosing to stay behind themselves.


    With no other option, Holden also remained in Jensburg.


    rissa knew the grandchildren had been sent back to Holden''s hometown, but Holden kept quiet about it. He only instructed his daughters-inw to let the grandchildren stay there for the New Year and not return to Jensburg too soon.


    Holden suspected rissa''s instructions carried a deeper message: the battle between rissa and her niece would conclude before the New Year. One of them would perish, and it wouldn''t drag on into the next year.


    Publicly and privately, Holden hoped rissa would win.


    Even though rissa had been harsh to him, reducing him to a shadow of his former self, they had several children and many grandchildren. As long as rissa controlled the Farrell family, their descendants would live well. But if rissa lost, everything would revert to Audrey, and their family''s future would be bleak.


    With their current assets, they could livefortably if managed well. But without rissa to clean up their messes, they''d quickly decline into poverty, and all Holden''s efforts would have been in vain. The thought alone was enough to make him sick with worry.


    Kathryn turned to Pedro and then addressed Holden and Marco, "Why shouldn''t Pedro take care of me? He belongs to me-he''s my man!" Kathryn''s voice was firm, "It''s only natural that my people take care of me. There''s nothing wrong with that."


    The four were stunned into silence.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Did Kathryn really see Pedro as her man? Had something happened between them?


    They had no idea.


    Kathryn wasn''t the type to be easily swayed by emotions. Many men had shown interest in her, but she never reciprocated. The only one she admired was Hayden.


    But Hayden was the eldest daughter of the Queen family-a true woman. Even if Hayden were a man, his status and position would never allow him to marry into the Farrell family.


    Kathryn''s feelings for Hayden were destined to go unfulfilled.


    "Brothers, you all have work to do. I''ve heard that Mom has been on a rampage at thepanytely, always scolding people. You must be under a lot of pressure. I won''t keep you here and risk you fatting behind on your work and getting scolded by Mom."


    "No, no, no, we''re fine. Taking care of you is more important than work," Marco quickly replied.


    For the past couple of days, Marco


    and his brothers preferred hiding out


    at the hospital, taking care of


    Kathryn, rather than staying at thepany and facing rissa''s wrath.


    Kathryn said, "No, aside from Pedro, I don''t trust any of you."


    Holden and the others couldn''t hide their displeasure.
