-Kathryn added, "I have been through a lot along the way, and my values and character have long been tempered. I can no longer grow up the way my mother wants me to."


    rissa said coldly, "Are you saying this to make me feel guilty?"


    Kathrynughed at herself. "How dare I? Besides, will you feel guilty? Do you even have a heart?"


    As soon as the words fell, rissa pped Kathryn again.


    This time, the pnded on Kathryn''s other cheek.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Both sides of Kathryn''s face were now red and swollen, with more blood flowing from the corners of her mouth.


    "Miss!" Pedro cried out in pain. He couldn''t hold on any longer. If rissa attacked again, he might throw her out!


    This was the person he wanted to protect all his life. How could he allow rissa to hurt her again and again?


    rissa raised her eyes and nced at Pedro. "Pedro, get out! This is a matter between my daughter and me. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"


    rissa was genuinely afraid that Pedro would throw her out.


    Pedro didn''t move.


    Kathryn wanted to sit up.


    Pedro quickly supported her, took out a tissue, and gently wiped the blood from Kathryn''s mouth.


    "Mr. Fraser, can you see if my teeth have been knocked out?"


    Kathryn actually opened her mouth wide to let Pedro see if her teeth were still there.


    Pedro saw that several of her teeth were bleeding. "I think the teeth are still there."


    Kathryn closed her mouth and then signaled Pedro to give her a ss of water so she could rinse her mouth and spit out the blood.


    Kathryn rinsed her mouth several times and spat out the blood.


    rissa watched all this coldly. There was still some pain in her eyes. She and Kathryn had a weak rtionship as mother and daughter.


    After ten months of pregnancy, the two were separated upon birth.


    Kathryn didn''t return to her until she was in her twenties.


    The best opportunity to cultivate a mother-daughter rtionship was missed.


    Therefore, their rtionship was never deep enough and always faint.


    All that connected them was blood, and if blood wasn''t thicker than water, they would be more like strangers than family.


    Ever since Kathryn came back, rissa had hadplicated feelings towards her.


    At first, she despised Kathryn for being weak and useless.


    She felt Kathryn was not as good as Shiloh. She even regretted bringing Kathryn back.


    Later, she discovered that Kathryn was just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. In fact she w was much smarter and more capable than Shiloh.


    Although she grew up in the countryside and had little exposure to business, she learned very quickly.


    In just over two years, Kathryn''s abilities had surpassed those of her three brothers.


    rissa couldn''t help but sigh that the women of the Farrell family''s direct lineage were truly born strong.


    However, if it is said that the daughters of the Farrell family are born strong, then her granddaughters can also be considered as the daughters of the Farrell family. Even if they do not have the surname Farrell, they are still of the Farrell family''s bloodline, but they are not born strong.


    Only a daughter born from a daughter can be born strong.


    Perhaps, this is the main reason why the Farrell family has always passed has down the inheritance to daughters rather than sons.
