    Chapter 3840


    Why would anyone support Kathryn to take over, even if Kathryn was much kinder than her


    mother?


    People remembered.


    Decades ago, when rissa first gained power, she acted warm and amodating with the


    Farrell family. But once she secured her position, she began eliminating opposition, stripping power


    from influential rtives, and consolidating authority.


    So, they weren’t about to let her daughter follow in her footsteps.


    Liberty had the strongest backing.


    Unless she chose to step aside, the next head of the Farrell family would be Liberty.


    Everyone in the Farrell Group was already bracing for this change. After the New Year, they


    expected to have a new leader.


    Holden and his three sons knew it too, which is why they scrambled to split up the family assets and


    leave Jensburg. They feared Liberty’s retaliation and wanted to avoid being targets of her influence.


    Without their mother as their pir, Marco and his brothers lost their standing in Jensburg. The


    friends who once surrounded them had pulled away.


    The ones still sticking around were only interested in finding out how much wealth they’d end up


    with, hoping to rope them into so-called “investments,” which were really just schemes to drain them


    of cash and disappear.


    When Kathryn talked about her father and brothers, her face fell. “They’re demanding to split the


    family holdings. There are two versions of my mother’s will—one that’smon knowledge and


    another added more recently.


    “The second one was revisedst year. They’re using me of working with thewyer to change


    it, iming it’s fake so they don’t get much of the estate. If they don’t trust it, then let’s take it toN?velDrama.Org content.


    court. I’m ready whenever they are.”


    Liberty nodded. “The second will must not favor them.”


    If it did, Marco and the others wouldn’t be so quick to call it a fake. Kathryn confirmed, “The first will


    gave me 50% of my mom’s private assets, while each of my brothers got 10%, and thest 20%


    was split among my nephews. My father didn’t get any share. Mom said all her personal property


    came from what she inherited from my grandmother before she got married. It’s considered


    premarital property.


    “So, my dad wasn’t entitled to a share. She made him sign an agreement at their wedding—whether


    they divorced or she passed away first, he wouldn’t have any im to the Farrell family assets,


    including her personal holdings.


    “My dad is realistic; he hasn’t argued or fought with me about it. But behind the scenes, he’s been


    orchestrating my brothers’ moves, pushing them to challenge me. The will also states that for my


    brothers to keep their shares, they must support my father. If they don’t, I can reim what they’ve


    received. Until he passes away, they only get the interest on their shares. The principal stays with


    me.


    “Mom did n for my dad’s financial future. Maybe there was no love left between them, but after


    decades of marriage, there was still some loyalty.”


    Kathryn’s eyes clouded as she recalled the fights between her parents. Her father’s bitterness over


    her mother’s actions was something she’d witnessed firsthand.


    She wasn’t sure who was more at fault. Her father’s infidelity was wrong, but her mother’s behavior


    had issues too. Until herst breath, her mother had loved Mr. Jimenez.


    Mr. Jimenez, significantly older than rissa, could have been her father if he’d married and had


    children early. Despite his age, rissa had been drawn to him, perhaps because of the kindness


    he once showed her— kindness rooted in his affection for her older sister.


    Kathryn sighed, pushing away those memories. Dwelling on the past was too painful.
