Sage suddenly stood up, took a few steps toward Kathryn, and tried to p her, but failed.


    Kathryn quickly grabbed Sage''s wrist with one hand.


    Although she had never trained in martial arts-since her adoptive parents didn''t treat her well and wouldn''t allow her to-she had learned to defend herself from all the fights she got into when she was bullied. Her quick reflexes came from those experiences. Then, Kathryn sshed the remaining coffee in her cup onto Sage''s face. Sage was caught off guard; he never expected Kathryn to grab his wrist so easily.


    Sage knew that Kathryn had no martial arts training and usually relied on bodyguards for protection when she went out. Pedro was always by her side to ensure her safety, and he had even arranged for hidden security to guard her in secret.


    In Kathryn''s office, with no one else around and even Pedro absent, Sage didn''t see Kathryn as a threat. Angry and looking to put her in her ce, Sage didn''t think about the consequences.


    He assumed Kathryn wouldn''t retaliate violently because of her strong sense of morality. Besides, Sage was still her brother, and they shared the same parents.


    Even though there wasn''t much coffee left in Kathryn''s cup, it was enough to ssh across Sage''s face and stain his white suit, making the mess stand out even more.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Kathryn''s voice turned cold. "Believe me when I say, if you touch me again, I''ll smash your head with a wine ss!"


    "You think I''m weak, don''t you? I might not be trained to fight, but that doesn''t mean I''ll lose to you! But before you touch me, think about the consequences-can you handle them?" She let go of Sage''s wrist and continued, "Go sit down. You can yell at me all you want, but don''t try to hit me. If you do, don''t expect me to care about family loyalty."


    "We never had much of a bond to begin with," Kathryn said, her gaze shifting to Marco. "You say I don''t treat you like brothers, but when have you ever treated me like a sister? Have you ever truly considered me family?"


    "We''ve always just put on an act for Mom''s sake. So don''t lecture me about family ties or use me of not treating you like brothers. Ask yourselves- how have you treated me?"


    "Don''t think you can boss me around just because you''re older. That doesn''t work with me. Everything that belonged to the Farrell family belongs to the family-it was Mom who took it, and it was never really hers to begin with, let alone ours. Before she died, she realized her mistake and apologized to our aunt."


    "I''m going to return what rightfully belongs to our aunt''s descendants. It''s my way of making amends on Mom''s behalf so she can rest in peace." "You''ve been in business for years and have your own real estate and rental properties. Even without the Farrell Group, you can live well off your ie as long as you don''t mess things up. The rent you earn each month is more than what most people make. What more do you want?" Kathryn thought her brothers already had a good life and didn''t understand why they demanded more.
