Chapter 3641


    The mother and daughter, who hadn’t slept all night, were walking in the yard. Despite the cold, they


    didn’t seem to feel it. They weren’t talking about hate or resentment, just chatting about family


    matters. In that moment, they were simply an ordinary mother and daughter.


    After walking for a while, rissa said to her daughter, “Kathryn, let’s sit down. I’m old, and I can’t


    walk any further.”


    She led the way and sat on a long stone bench, and Kathryn followed, sitting beside her.


    “It’s almost dawn,” rissa observed, looking at the sky. “In winter, the nights are long, but in


    summer, it would already be bright by now.”


    She pulled her coat tighter and asked, “Kathryn, are you cold?”


    Kathryn replied, “Yes, it’s quite cold out here.”


    rissa reached out to adjust Kathryn’s cor. “You’re not dressed warmly enough. You should


    wear a thicker coat. You’re used to being in heated ces, so you don’t feel it as much. Without


    heat, you’ll shiver in this cold. You have such fair skin—young people always have such soft, tender


    skin. It’s good to be young.”


    As rissa touched Kathryn’s neck, Kathryn felt something was wrong and tried to stand up, but it


    was toote. She felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck, and everything went ck as she lost


    consciousness.


    rissa caught Kathryn as she copsed and then called Mr. Dunn toe and take her away.


    Mr. Dunn soon arrived, and rissa handed Kathryn over to him. She instructed, “After you take


    Kathryn out, hand her over to her bodyguard. Make sure she’s taken out of Jensburg and arrange


    for someone to protect her. We don’t want Pedro to harm her while she’s unconscious. Once she’s


    safely out, notify Pedro so he can find her. But wait until near dusk to tell him—don’t let him bring


    her back to Jensburg.”


    rissa continued, “Kathryn will wake up soon. When she does, make sure someone gives her two


    sleeping pills so she stays asleep for two days. Otherwise, she’ll try everything toe back.”


    rissa whispered her orders to Mr. Dunn, who then reassured her, “Ma’am, I’ll arrange everything.


    Kathryn’s stand-in is already prepared. She’ll stay by your side after dawn and help you host Audrey


    tonight.”


    rissa’s eyes were cold. “They want to dig up the truth and fight for the power of the Farrell family.


    If they won’t let me live peacefully, then no one will.”


    Mr. Dunn replied, “Don’t worry, ma’am. I’ll make sure the youngdy is sent away safely. The stand-


    in is nearly identical to Kathryn in body shape, voice, and face. With a little makeup, even Kathryn


    herself would think it’s her twin.”


    rissa nodded, satisfied. “Go ahead. I trust you.”


    Mr. Dunn then took the unconscious Kathryn away, and soon after, brought Kathryn’s stand-in into


    the Farrell family mansion to temporarily take her ce.


    With the stand-in posing as Kathryn, when Audrey and the others arrived that night, they wouldn’t


    suspect anything.


    If Kathryn wasn’t there, Audrey and the others would be on high alert.


    rissa’s true intention behind this n was to save Kathryn’s life. Kathryn was too stubborn and


    refused to listen, believing that rissa was wrong and should face the consequences.
