Chapter 3672


    rissa’s body trembled as she realized that saving Kathryn was the key to keeping their family’s


    future secure.


    Holden pointed to Kathryn as she walked toward them and said, “Look, isn’t that our daughter? And


    that’s Mr. Fraser, the assistant you arranged for her. The one inside must be fake. There’s no Mr.


    Fraser with her in there. I wondered why I hadn’t seen him all day.”


    He felt deceived. The fake Kathryn had acted so convincingly that even he, her father, didn’t notice.


    “Mom,” Kathryn said as she approached, standing in front of rissa. “I told you, I’m your daughter,


    and I’ll face whateveres with you. No matter the oue, I’ll stand by your side. Don’t try to


    send me away again—I won’t leave. ‘Escape’ isn’t in my vocabry.”


    rissa was so furious that her face turned pale. She raised her hand as if to p Kathryn, but


    when Kathryn didn’t flinch, she froze, leaving her hand in midair.


    “You… you really are my stubborn daughter!” rissa said through gritted teeth. “Why did I give


    birth to someone like you? You’ll drive me to an early grave, cutting years off my life!”


    Kathryn had closed her eyes, bracing for the p that never came. When she opened them, she


    said calmly, “Mom, I know you’re doing this for me, but I can’t ept it. We have to face the


    consequences, whatever they may be. If we’re wrong, we should own up to it. If we’ve been


    wronged, we need to clear our names. Running away won’t solve anything.”


    rissa was speechless. Furious, she stormed back into the house, walking upstairs to her study


    and locking the door.


    Holden finally realized that the Kathryn inside was indeed fake—a stand-in rissa had arranged to


    protect their real daughter. rissa had gone to great lengths to save Kathryn, even deceiving her


    own family.


    The revtion left Holden feeling cold.


    “Dad, what’s going on with Mom? Who’s real and who’s fake?” Marco asked, confused.


    Without warning, Holden pped Marco, then did the same to his other two sons, leaving them


    stunned.


    Afterward, he yelled, “Get out! All of you, get out of this mansion! I don’t want to see you tonight, orContent (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    I’ll cut you offpletely!”


    Marco and his brothers stood there, shocked and confused, not understanding why they were being


    punished.


    Kathryn, still calm, said, “Dad, if you’re afraid, take my brothers and leave. This is the Farrell family’s


    issue, a feud between two generations. You don’t carry the Farrell name, so you don’t need to be


    involved. No one will me you for walking away.”


    As Kathryn moved to enter the house, the butler rushed over and stopped her.


    “Miss, they’re here. Audrey and her people just arrived. There are so many cars— they’ve blocked


    the whole road.”
