Chapter 3640


    Holden silently cursed rissa, but he knew he had toe back.


    As long as rissa was alive and still the matriarch, if she told him to go east, he would go east; if


    she told him to go west, he wouldn’t dare go north. Even if tonight’s banquet was filled with danger,


    he had to face it with her.


    Holden said, “Tonight’s dinner is definitely filled with danger. You three should stay close to Kathryn.


    I can ensure your safety. Your mother won’t let anything happen to her only daughter, so she’ll make


    sure Kathryn is protected. Stick with Kathryn, and I guarantee you’ll be safe.”


    Marco frowned, “Dad, that’s just your guess. We’re all your sons. If there’s real danger, why would


    Mom call us all back? Don’t overthink it.”


    Holden red at Marco, “You never listen to me. If you had, and gone back to our Janzen family, I


    wouldn’t have to worry tonight. Now, you still won’t listen.


    Your mother despises me. She usually doesn’t even want to see me, and suddenly she asks me to


    move back. Do you really think it’s just for the family to be together for the New Year? Why hasn’t


    she called all your siblings back?”


    “Even if your mother ns to take me with her when she dies, I’lle back. I’m over seventy; I’ve


    lived long enough. I want to see what Mr. Jimenez, who has upied your mother’s heart all these


    years, looks like.”


    Mr. Jimenez had always been better than Holden, holding a ce in rissa’s heart for decades.


    Now, everyone was old, but Mr. Jimenez still had a special ce in rissa’s heart.


    If the people from Wiltspoon have evidence, tonight’s dinner will be explosive. Holden wanted to see


    how rissa would feel when Mr. Jimenez, along with others, used her of killing her sisters to


    gain power.


    Being used and despised by the man she loved most would hurt more than death.


    How could Holden miss such a spectacle?


    “Anyway, listen to me. If you don’t, don’t regret it if something happens,” Holden said before leaving


    his three sons and returning to his guest room.


    He turned on the light, walked to the bed, and sat down. ncing at the bedside table, he saw the


    family photo he kept there.


    He picked up the photo frame and took out a hidden picture behind the family portrait.


    It was their wedding photo, taken when he and rissa got married. Most photos from that time


    were ck and white, and he had kept this one in perfect condition.


    But rissa had never kept their wedding photos.


    After they married, Holden wanted to hang their wedding photo in their room, but rissa wouldn’t


    allow it.


    There wasn’t a single wedding photo in the entire house.


    Holden knew she didn’t care for it. So, he kept the wedding photos himself, holding onto them for


    decades.


    But what did it matter?


    Someone who didn’t love him never would.


    Now, Mr. Jimenez was back. He came back to kill Holden and destroy all his cherished memories.


    Holden opened a drawer, took out a lighter, and lit the wedding photo of him and rissa.


    Their rtionship had ended when rissa caught him cheating and gave him an ultimatum. Their


    marriage was over, but they stayed together for the sake of interests, children, and grandchildren.


    Or maybe, there was never really a rtionship at all—just his own wishful thinking.


    He burned the photo. Even though he had treasured it for a lifetime, he was never the one in


    rissa’s heart.
