Chapter 3673


    After hearing the butler, Kathryn paused, then turned and walked towards the mansion door.


    Pedro followed her naturally.


    Holden suddenly noticed how confidently his real daughter walked. The stand-in looked simr to


    her butcked that same authority in her stride.


    He was frustrated for not realizing sooner that the daughter at home was an imposter. If he had


    known earlier that rissa was still nning something drastic, he would have sent his three sons


    away sooner. Now, it might be toote to escape.


    Kathryn had said that if rissa scared them, they should leave.


    After rissa and Kathryn left, the butler followed. Holden told the three sons, “Now you see, your


    mother only wants to save your sister and doesn’t care about you three. I’m the only one who does.


    I told you to go back to my hometown or skip tonight’s dinner, but you didn’t listen.


    Can you leave now? If you do, what will Audrey and the others think? It will ruin your mother’s n,


    and you’ll be in trouble.”


    Marco and his brothers were speechless. They understood now. Realizing that Kathryn at home


    was a stand-in, they finally saw how their parents favored their sister. Their mother wasn’t just


    showing favoritism toward a daughter—she was protecting the future of the family. Kathryn was the


    sessor.


    It wasn’t about favoring daughters over sons, but about preserving the family’s leadership through


    Kathryn, ensuring the Farrell family stayed in her line.


    So, what if they were sons?


    Even if there were more of them, their mother wouldn’t show as much love.


    “Dad, I’m sorry. We didn’t understand and were too hopeful,” Marco apologized to Holden, then


    quietly asked, “Dad, do you know Mom’s n? What is she nning? Is she going to poison


    everyone?”


    Holden wanted to answer but suddenly felt someone’s cold stare. He instinctively looked and saw it


    was rissa, who had gone upstairs, angry with Kathryn.


    He quickly lowered his head and whispered to his sons, “Your mother is downstairs now. You can’tThis belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    leave, but there’s still a way to survive. Tonight, stay close to Kathryn.” Even if his wife was furious


    with their daughter, she would still protect her if something happened. So, it would be safe for his


    sons to stick with Kathryn.


    Besides, Kathryn had Pedro with her. He was strong and could find a way to protect her.


    If they stayed with Kathryn, could she really watch her brothers die?


    Holden left his sons and approached rissa with a smile. “rissa, the butler said your niece and


    others are here. There are so many people, and cars are lined up outside. Kathryn went out to


    wee them.


    Should we go out too? They are honored guests, and your niece is the daughter of the previous


    matriarch. If the former matriarch were still alive, your niece would probably be sitting in your ce


    now.”


    rissa red at Holden coldly and replied, “Don’t stir things up. She’s already willing to fight me to


    the end without your help. I’m the elder, and no matter her status in Wiltspoon, she’s still younger


    than me. Do you expect me to go out and greet her?”


    rissa walked to the sofa and sat down, not bothering to greet Audrey and the others.


    However, she ordered her three sons, “Marco, what are you and your brothers doing standing there


    like statues? Go greet your cousin.”
