Chapter 3852


    Chapter 3852


    Kathryn eventually discovered that her brothers had been unfaithful, and their wives knew it too,


    creating chaos at home. From a woman’s perspective, Kathryn sympathized with her sisters-inw


    and stood up for them. She even confronted her brothers, but they brushed off her warnings. It


    wasn’t until their father’s own infidelity was exposed by their mother—and their brothers faced


    consequences—that they finally broke things off with their mistresses.


    From then on, the sisters-inw treated Kathryn much better, and over time, a series of events


    brought them closer together.


    “Kathryn, your eldest brother and I are divorced now. I’m not really your sisterinw anymore,” Erika


    said when they met outside the hospital. “You can just call me Sister Irwin. I came looking for you


    and stopped by thepany first, but they told me you were here.”


    Erika nced at Pedro, then walked alongside Kathryn. She asked how Holden was doing.


    “My dad’s recovering well,” Kathryn replied. “He says he needs to stay in the hospital for another


    couple of weeks, so I’m letting him stay.”


    Erika’s expression hardened. “He’s using his time here to try and keep control over you. Kathryn, I


    regret the way I treated you before. I sided with your eldest brother and even Shiloh to go against


    you. But I’ve learned who truly matters. Now, I genuinely wish for your happiness.”


    “Thank you, Sister Irwin. I know, and you don’t have to worry—I’m not upset,” Kathryn said, still


    using the old form of address out of habit.


    “None of your brothers are good men, and your father’s no better,” Erika warned. “You need to stay


    far away from them. Be tough, don’t soften up, and don’t let them manipte you. They won’t


    hesitate to disregard their own blood.”


    Erika had been part of their schemes and knew exactly how Marco and the others thought.


    Kathryn’s smile was cool and confident. “Sister-inw, you’ve known me for over two years now. Do? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    you really think I’m someone who can be pushed around?”


    When she first returned, Kathryn had yed the part of a fragile, overwhelmed woman uninterested


    in taking over the Farrell legacy. But those days were long past. Over the past six months, she’d


    stopped pretending and faced her reality head-on. Her true nature had emerged, and people often


    remarked that she was every bit rissa’s daughter.


    They said she was ruthless, just like rissa. But Kathryn upheld the traditions of the Farrell family,


    always putting their legacy first.


    Erika rxed and smiled. “I guess that’s just me overthinking. It’s a relief to see you so clear-


    headed.”


    “What do you n to do now, Sister Irwin?” Kathryn asked.


    Erika looked up at the overcast sky. The weather was dreary and gray—a perfect match for her


    somber mood.


    “I want to travel for a bit, clear my mind. Then I’lle back, maybe open a little store and run a


    small business. I don’t need much, just enough to cover my expenses. The kids are getting older,


    and your mother already set up their education funds, so I don’t need to worry about that. It’s time


    for me to live life on my own terms.”


    Kathryn’s expression softened. “Do you think you’ll remarry?”


    Erika shook her head slowly. “Your brother and I were married for nearly twenty years, and looking


    back, most of it was a mess. I was drawn to the status and wealth of the Farrell family—everything


    they had that my own family didn’t.”
