Chapter 3554


    rissa tried to convince Erika to forgive Marco, but it was no use. Erika had given up on Marco and was determined to divorce him. She refused to give up her rightful share of their property and insisted on an equal division.


    Marco, despite being at fault, wanted Erika to leave with nothing, but neither Erika nor her family agreed.


    The divorce had dragged on, but Kathryn predicted it would be finalized before the New Year.


    rissa wanted Marco to go through with the divorce, partly to give Erika her freedom and avoid further conflict. She also wanted Marco''s children to stay with Erika, ensuring their bloodline would continue even if something happened to the Farrell family.


    rissa and Holden were determined to keep their grandchildren close.


    Kathryn had been in the hospital for days and was aware of everything happening outside. Before she was hospitalized, Erika visited and confirmed she was set on divorcing Marco.


    Erika also apologized to Kathryn for the way she treated her in the past.


    Kathryn sympathized with her sisters-inw.


    Life in the Farrell mansion had not been easy for them. With a strong-willed mother-inw like rissa in charge, they could never truly manage the household. They had to consult her on every decision, big or small, and faced her wrath if they made a mistake. Their daily lives revolved around pleasing her.


    Their husbands cheated and had affairs, yet their inws still sided with the men. Although rissa disciplined her sons, the daughters-inw still felt wronged.


    Even when filing for divorce, the sisters-inw couldn''t retaliate against their husbands because rissa, as their mother, would always take their side.


    Kathryn epted Erika''s apology.


    Even though Erika was in the midst of a contentious divorce with Marco and resented the Farrell family her rtionship with Kathryn had improved.

    "Kathryn, the past is over," rissa began, "but the pain it caused still lingers. Some mistakes can''t be undone just because time has passed. But don''t worry, as long as they don''t provoke me, I won''t do anything to them."


    However, Kathryn had no intention of helping her brothers in the future.


    "Okay, I won''t push this. I don''t know where you got this stubbornness and vengefulness from. Tell Pedro toe to see me now." rissained about Kathryn''s temper.


    Kathryn replied, "Mom, I''m your daughter. My personality and tempere from you."N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    But Kathryn was not as domineering


    as her mother. She wouldn''t climb to power at any cost. She would fight for what was rightfully hers, but she wouldn''t take what wasn''t.


    She preferred to build her own empire, fair and square.


    rissa was furious, her face darkening, but since they were on the phone, Kathryn had no idea.


    "...Tell Pedro toe over now!"


    rissa ended the call abruptly, fearing that if she kept talking, she might want to reach through the phone and strangle her ungrateful daughter.
