Married At First Sight Chapter 3461
Married At First Sight Chapter 3461-Liberty nodded. “I believe that Seren and my life will get better and better.”
Not to mention herself, even if Serenity married Zachary, her life would be very good.
Serenity was extremely kind to Liberty.
“Cousin, you came here in a hurry last night and you must be tired. Go back to the hotel and rest for a while. I don’t think Clarissa will do anything to us for the time being.”
Liberty asked Clive to go back to the hotel and rest.
Liberty said, “It is true that Clarissa wants to kill me, but she is also afraid. It should be said that she may have bigger ambitions and wants to kill all of us at once.”
Liberty had a pretty good idea of Clarissa’s thoughts.
Clive came here in a hurry and seemed a little tired. He said, “Okay, I’ll go back to the hotel and rest for a while. If anything happens, call me.”
“Sure.”
Not long after Clive left, Hayden arrived.
When the secretary called Liberty on the internal line, Liberty came out to greet her personally. However, as soon as she opened the office door, Hayden’s handsome figure appeared in front of her.
“Hayden.” Liberty smiled.
Hayden was dressed like a man, looking very handsome. No wonder those women who once admired her found it difficult to let go of their admiration for Hayden even after knowing that she was actually a woman.
The main reason was that she was so handsome.
After playing the role of a man for more than 20 years, it was hard to tell the real from the fake.
“Sister Liberty.”
Hayden responded calmly, and at Liberty’s invitation, she strode into Liberty’s office.
Liberty’s secretary watched Hayden disappear before her eyes. Even though she was married, she couldn’t help but whisper, “Miss Queen is so handsome!”
With that cold temperament and extraordinary handsomeness, Hayden was simply the most handsome guy among handsome guys. Unfortunately, she was always a woman.
Well, even if Hayden was a man, it wouldn’t be the secretary’s turn, so why was she so crazy about Hayden?
The secretary retracted her gaze and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Hayden just came over to check on Liberty and see if she needed any help.
…
In the hospital,
After Kathryn had breakfast, she fell asleep again. She would wake up but still liked to sleep.
She seriously suspected that Clarissa had given her a large amount of sleeping pills.
“Madam Farrell.”
Kathryn was going to fall asleep, but she could hear Pedro talking.
Pedro’s respectful shout pulled Kathryn back from sleep. She opened her eyes, dazed.
She saw that familiar face.
Clarissa stood by Kathryn’s hospital bed with a gloomy look on her face. She looked coldly at Kathryn, who had opened her eyes but had a confused expression.
Pedro stood defensively on the other side of the bed.
“Mom?”
Kathryn blinked and screamed.
Clarissa raised her hand and was about to slap Kathryn.
A powerful hand grabbed Clarissa’s wrist.
It was Pedro. He grabbed Clarissa’s wrist.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3462
Married At First Sight Chapter 3462-“Madam!” Pedro’s expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice, “Young lady is your biological daughter!”
Clarissa ordered coldly, “Pedro, let go! Don’t forget, I am still the head of this family! You have to listen to me!”
Pedro replied, “From the moment I was assigned to the young lady’s side, my mission was to protect her for the rest of her life, to be loyal to her, and to obey her orders. This is my duty as assistant! I only have one master! My master is the young lady, Miss Kathryn, not you! My responsibility is to protect her. I won’t allow anyone to hurt her, including you, Madam Farrell!”
Clarissa’s face turned pale.
Indeed, from the moment Pedro came to Kathryn’s side, he was only loyal to her and only served her.
As the head of the family, Clarissa was not Pedro’s master and had no right to order him.
Kathryn gently said to Pedro, “Mr. Fraser, please let my mom go. It’s normal for her to vent her anger on me. After all, I am her child.”
She had asked Pedro to tip off Liberty, causing her mother’s conspiracy to fail.
If she hadn’t tipped off her mother, her mother might have been caught off guard, and her conspiracy might have succeeded, harming Liberty. But she couldn’t bear to watch her mother make one mistake after another.
Both of her aunts died at her mother’s hands, as did her uncle and his family. How many people did her mother hurt to become the head of the family?
If her mother were to kill Liberty, she would be doomed. Now, her mother is also doomed.
Pedro silently released Clarissa’s wrist.
After being freed, Clarissa slapped Kathryn hard in front of Pedro.
The snapping sound echoed in the room.
Pedro was heartbroken.
Kathryn’s face was hit and tilted to the side.
The side of her face that was hit soon became red and swollen. Blood appeared at the corners of her mouth, showing how hard Clarissa had slapped her.
Kathryn kept her head tilted for a while before she raised her hand to touch her bruised face. Then, she turned her head and looked at Clarissa with open eyes.
Clarissa said coldly, “If you were not my biological child, you would not have seen the sun today!”
She was her biological daughter, so even if she betrayed her, she couldn’t bring herself to kill Kathryn.
Who said she only had one daughter? Everything she did was actually for her daughter.
Kathryn was silent for a long time, then said, “If I were not your biological child, I would not have to endure all this suffering. Do you think I like being your daughter? Reincarnation is not something I can choose.”
She would rather be Shiloh, not the biological daughter of Clarissa.
However, if she were Shiloh, after knowing she was not a biological child, she would definitely leave the Farrell family mansion and stay away from everyone in the Farrell family. Unfortunately, there was no ‘if.’
She was the biological daughter of Clarissa. Shiloh’s decisions and choices were different from what she thought.
Clarissa’s expression became even more gloomy and cold, and she stared at Kathryn as if she wanted to eat her alive.
In her own words, if Kathryn were not her biological daughter, she would have really strangled her and not let her see the sun today.
“I also hope that this is all a dream. When I wake up, Shiloh and I are still mother and daughter with a harmonious and deep relationship, and there is no daughter-swap incident,” Clarissa said, looking a little depressed.
Kathryn responded, “Mom, you could have disowned me at that time and continued to maintain your deep mother-daughter relationship with Shiloh. Shiloh grew up by your side and enjoyed all the motherly love you gave her. She was also cultivated with all your heart. She is the successor you cultivated.
Who am I? While Shiloh was enjoying wealth and glory, I was being abused, beaten, and scolded by my biological mother and brothers. Sometimes I wasn’t even given food to eat.
When I was in school, I had the best grades, but they always wanted to stop me from going to school. They wanted to marry me off to a rich but old man as his second wife, or even wanted me to be someone else’s mistress to earn money for them to spend.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3463
Married At First Sight Chapter 3463-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.”
Clarissa said coldly, “Are you saying this to make me feel guilty?”
Kathryn laughed at herself. “How dare I? Besides, will you feel guilty? Do you even have a heart?”
As soon as the words fell, Clarissa slapped Kathryn again.
This time, the slap landed on Kathryn’s other cheek.
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 Clarissa attacked again, he might throw her out!
This was the person he wanted to protect all his life. How could he allow Clarissa to hurt her again and again?
Clarissa raised her eyes and glanced at Pedro. “Pedro, get out! This is a matter between my daughter and me. It has nothing to do with anyone else!”
Clarissa 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 glass of water so she could rinse her mouth and spit out the blood.
Kathryn rinsed her mouth several times and spat out the blood.
Clarissa watched all this coldly. There was still some pain in her eyes. She and Kathryn had a weak relationship 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 relationship was missed.
Therefore, their relationship 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, Clarissa had had complicated 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 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.
Clarissa 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 down the inheritance to daughters rather than sons.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3464
Married At First Sight Chapter 3464-“Mr. Fraser, go out first. I’ll talk to my mother.” Kathryn knew that Pedro was worried and concerned about her.
She comforted him, “Don’t worry, my mother won’t really kill me. I was born by her, and I did something that ruined her plan. I deserve to be slapped by her.”
Clarissa didn’t really kill her because Kathryn felt Clarissa still cared about their relationship.
Pedro glanced at Clarissa, then looked at Kathryn’s red and swollen face with heartache, and walked out silently.
He asked the nurse for some ice and handed it to Kathryn, asking her to apply it to her face.
Kathryn took the ice and said, “I’ll apply it. You can go out now.”
Pedro pursed his lips and finally walked out.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the ward, Kathryn applied ice to her face and said, “Mom, you must be tired from standing. Pull a chair over and sit down.”
Clarissa stared at her for a while, then dragged a chair over and sat down.
“Mom, next time you hit me, can you please not hit me on the face? I’m not pretty enough, and if my face gets swollen, it will be even uglier. I don’t even have a man as your daughter, and if you make me ugly, I won’t be able to get married and give birth to a daughter. Even if you kill Liberty and the others, you will have no successor.”
Clarissa said, “Stop joking with Mom.”
Kathryn replied, “I wasn’t joking. Mom, I was talking to you seriously.”
Clarissa inquired, “When did you wake up?”
Kathryn answered honestly, “When you were mumbling to me and crying. I woke up and pretended to be asleep. It was very difficult to pretend to be really asleep.”
Clarissa was speechless.
After staring at Kathryn for a while, Clarissa said angrily, “I did that for your own good! Even if it means losing my life, I can guarantee that the position of the head of the family will fall to you. The descendants of your aunt will never be able to compete with you!”
Kathryn was silent for a moment, then looked at her mother and said seriously, “Mom, don’t you think you are wrong? You keep making mistakes, absolutely wrong. I like Liberty, my junior, and I admire her. My conscience also prevents me from watching her being harmed by you. If I can save her, I will of course do so.
Mom, you and my aunt are sisters, and you were raised by my aunt. We are from the same roots, so why are you so eager to kill us? Why do you have to kill us all? Don’t say it’s for your own good. Did I ask for what you think? Do you need me to do those things for you? Mom, do you know if I want to be the head of the family? Not everyone values power like you do.”
“If possible, I really don’t want to stay in the Farrell family and accept everything. The rules of the Farrell family are also difficult for me to adapt to. Why do we have such rules? Isn’t it good for the capable and virtuous to take the position?”
“Why must she be a daughter of the direct lineage?”
“If a family head has many daughters, it is easy to end up in a situation like your mother’s.”
Clarissa said coldly, “If you have the ability, you can do it yourself and cut off all the rules that you don’t like. Just like the Lafayette family in Meadspring, after the current head of the family came to power, didn’t he cut a lot of family rules?”
Kathryn replied, “I do want to, but the position of the head of the family should not be inherited by me. Mom, your position as the head of the family is not legitimate and reasonable. I just want to ask you one question: Was it really you who killed my eldest and second aunt?”
Kathryn already had the answer in her heart. She still couldn’t help but hold on to a sliver of hope, hoping to hear a negative answer from Clarissa.
She wanted to hear another truth.
“Mom, if it wasn’t you who did it, I would help you clear your name even if I had to sacrifice my life!” Kathryn said seriously.
Clarissa looked at her for a moment and then looked away.
“You are my only daughter, and I don’t want you to risk your life. So what if you have it, so what if you don’t? Does it matter?”
Clarissa’s words were equivalent to giving Kathryn the answer.
The little bit of hope in Kathryn’s heart was shattered.
Her two aunts were really harmed by Clarissa.
Clarissa said, “Kathryn, the important thing is that the person sitting in the position of the head of the family now is me, your biological mother!”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3465
Married At First Sight Chapter 3465-Clarissa said solemnly, “Even if my position as matriarch wasn’t obtained legitimately, it’s still legitimate for you to take over. If the leadership of the family returns to your aunt’s descendants, wouldn’t I have been a joke for the past few decades? I’ve lost so much because of it.”
Clarissa reached out and touched Kathryn’s red and swollen face. She said, “Kathryn, everything I’ve done was for your own good. I hope that everything in the Farrell family will be left to you.”
Kathryn looked at Clarissa, believing her intentions to leave everything in the Farrell family to her.
However, everything in the Farrell family did not belong to Clarissa alone.
Clarissa wanted to make the entire Farrell family her own. When Kathryn returned to Clarissa, she found that many in the family were dissatisfied with Clarissa because she was gradually abolishing the family rules bit by bit, just like the Lafayette family in Meadspring.
Clarissa aimed to make everything in the Farrell family her own.
It was no longer about the other family members.
How could they obey Clarissa when their interests were being violated?
Some who resisted were slowly suppressed by Clarissa, forcing them to flee, commit crimes and be caught, or die.
These were all Clarissa’s actions.
Kathryn did not object to Clarissa consolidating power and interests. If it were her, she might do the same.
However, capable members of the Farrell family still needed to be nurtured, not eliminated.
Kathryn also thought that if she were to take over the Farrell family, she would modify the family rules gradually but would not kill or harm anyone.
The family was large and had many branches.
The Farrell family’s rules were no longer suitable for today’s society.
Some members had no special abilities but gained benefits by flattering others. They did nothing but show off and suppress dissenters.
This phenomenon was widespread, and Clarissa didn’t care about it.
Instead, she used those sycophants to suppress and harm the capable young talents, forcing them to leave and seek other opportunities.
There were now very few capable young people in the family.
Most people relied on the monthly living expenses they received from the Farrell clan fund. These expenses were not much but also not too little, distributed based on the number of family members. Adults received living expenses configured to cover the most basic needs in Jensburg.
The tuition fees of minors were taken into account, so their monthly living expenses were slightly more than those of adults. The elderly received the same as adults, but those aged 65 and above didn’t need to pay for their medical expenses when hospitalized; the family foundation covered these costs.
In this environment, how many people would be motivated to strive for more?
It seemed to only foster laziness.
They didn’t have to work and wouldn’t starve. For large families, the monthly living expenses exceeded the earnings of many working people.
Why work hard when the living expenses distributed by the family were more?
Kathryn thought this was detrimental, as it only encouraged laziness. She believed that minors, unless both parents were deceased, should not receive living expenses and study fees from the Farrell clan fund.
If both parents were alive, it was their responsibility to support their children.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3466
Married At First Sight Chapter 3466-Young people, if they didn’t work, would starve. The living expenses for young people should be canceled. Only when they had no one to rely on would they go out to find jobs and become self-reliant. Only then could they rise above their circumstances.
The treatment of the elderly did not need to be changed.
Clarissa said, “Many people in the family are useless and just rely on us to support them. I want to change this family and make it our business, but I need your cooperation. Kathryn, I paid a lot and sacrificed a lot to get the position of head of the family. I worked hard for decades. Although my ability is limited and I failed to lead the family back to the top, I have centralized power and interest bit by bit, and it is difficult for the elders to shake the power of the head of the family.
If they dare to speak, let them stop talking. I have done all the bad things to get to this situation. You want me to hand everything over to your aunt’s descendants? That would be more painful for me than death.
After decades of hard work and dedication, I’ve only been making things easier for others. Kathryn, are you convinced? Are you willing to accept this? I’m not convinced. I’m not willing to accept this.
As long as your aunt’s descendants are all dead, then everything I have done will be worth it. What you take over from me will belong to our small family, not the entire Farrell family’s property. Kathryn, do you understand? If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.”
Clarissa tried very hard to convince Kathryn to be of the same mind and on the same side with her so that the results of her decades of efforts could be preserved and would not fall into the hands of her eldest sister’s descendants.
She had cleared so many obstacles and was ready to let Kathryn enjoy the results.
As a result, her eldest sister’s descendants came to the door and wanted to take back the position of head of the family and reap the fruits of her labor. Haha, dream on!
Clarissa would rather die with Audrey and the others than give back everything she had obtained. The only thing that gave her a headache was Kathryn.
If she had known that Kathryn would not agree with her, she would have given birth to two more daughters when she was young. Then there would be no need to be as passive and helpless as she was now.
Alas, it would be great if Shiloh were her biological daughter. Then the mother and daughter would definitely be of one mind.
If Shiloh were really her biological daughter, her abilities would definitely be different.
Clarissa believed that Shiloh, whom she had carefully trained, had limited abilities because of her bloodline. Shiloh did not have the Farrell family’s blood, so her abilities were not good enough.
She had spent more than twenty years on Shiloh but was not satisfied. She accepted and recognized Kathryn so quickly, not only because of their blood relationship but also because she found that Kathryn was more suitable for business than Shiloh, and Kathryn also had a ruthless side.
However, Kathryn’s conscience far surpassed her ruthlessness. Clarissa found it extremely ironic. Everything she got was due to her ruthlessness.
As a result, God sent her Kathryn, who was raised in another family. Even in such a harsh environment, Kathryn was not ruined. Instead, it made her strong-willed and instilled positive values.
This was in stark contrast to the ruthless and merciless head of the Farrell family.
“Mom, if the roles were reversed, if you were Audrey and I were Liberty, do you think you could be willing and not hate me? Could you do nothing?”
Kathryn asked Clarissa a few questions in return.
Clarissa’s expression suddenly turned gloomy. She stared at Kathryn with eyes as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.
Kathryn met Clarissa’s murderous glare calmly.
After a while, Clarissa said bitterly, “If your three brothers were truly capable, or if I had another daughter, you would not be alive now!”
Clarissa had been so angry at Kathryn countless times that she almost exploded on the spot.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3467
Married At First Sight Chapter 3467-Clarissa poked Kathryn’s forehead angrily and scolded, “What’s in your head? Why are you so stubborn and insistent?”
“Why do you care about the past? I am the one who is in charge of the Farrell family now. I am your biological mother, not your aunt. Your aunt has been dead for decades. The dynasty has changed! Look at all the emperors in ancient times. Which one of them came to power without blood and gore?
Take Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, for example. His brother was originally the crown prince and successor. He killed his brother and became emperor. If his brother’s children came to him to ask for the throne, would he give it back? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Kathryn said nothing. No matter how Clarissa scolded her, she did not agree with her behavior.
The main reason was that Kathryn wanted to withdraw from the competition for the position of head of the Farrell family. She felt that she could create a kingdom and a blue sky for herself with her own abilities. That way, she could remain above board and wouldn’t be scolded behind her back by others.
Seeing Kathryn remain silent, Clarissa knew that all she had said was like talking to a wall.
Kathryn’s values had already been formed, and she couldn’t change them.
After taking a few deep breaths, Clarissa gave up trying to convince Kathryn to be of the same mind as her.
“If you don’t want to kill them, I will do it. If I really die one day, remember that I died by your hands. You killed your own mother!”
After Clarissa finished speaking, she stood up, turned around, and left.
“Mom,” Kathryn called after her.
Clarissa paused but did not turn around. She looked forward to hearing Kathryn say yes. Instead, she heard Kathryn’s apologetic voice: “Mom, I’m sorry.”
Clarissa suddenly turned around, walked quickly back to the bed, and grabbed Kathryn’s neck with both hands. Her grip was very strong.
Her eyes were full of anger and hatred.
She hated that Kathryn, whom she had carried in her heart for ten months, would rather die than be on the same side with her.
It would have been better to strangle her to death at birth than to go through this.
Kathryn did not resist and let her mother strangle her.
When she felt she was about to die, the two hands around her neck loosened.
Clarissa’s eyes turned red.
She stared at Kathryn for a while, then turned around like a whirlwind and stormed out of the ward.
Pedro, who was waiting outside, finally saw Clarissa come out. He immediately returned to the ward and saw Kathryn coughing non-stop.
He hurried forward and patted Kathryn on the back.
It took Kathryn a while to calm down.
Pedro saw the fingerprints on her neck. “Miss, Madam Farrell…”
Kathryn said, “She thinks I’m not on the same page with her and am holding her back. I informed Liberty about this and she wants to strangle me to death.”
Pedro: “…”
Kathryn said, “Mr. Fraser, pour me a glass of water.”
Pedro went to pour her a glass of water.
Kathryn took the glass and drank it all.
“Miss,” Pedro said, looking at her worriedly.
He knew that she still cared about the relationship between mother and daughter. After all, they were biological mother and daughter.
There was no lasting hatred between mother and daughter.
Clarissa’s attitude towards Kathryn was not very good at first, but it became quite good later. It was a lie to say that there was no affection between them.
But to say that the feelings were deep was also a lie.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3468
Married At First Sight Chapter 3468-“Mr. Fraser, once this matter is settled, let’s leave Jensburg, okay? Stay away from the gossip. We don’t have to go too far, just somewhere away from the center of Jensburg City.”
Kathryn remembered that her company was still in Jensburg, but not in the center. She had spent several years running the company and had no plans to relocate for the time being. Moving a company to a new city and a new environment was equivalent to starting over, which was not conducive to the company’s development.
Pedro responded affectionately, “Miss, as long as you want to leave, I will always be with you. I said, I belong to you alone in this life!”
Whether it was for business or personal reasons, his body and mind belonged to Kathryn alone.
Kathryn looked up at Pedro. She could see his deep affection for her in his eyes.
Kathryn suddenly realized that Pedro was actually quite handsome. Not as handsome as Hayden, nor as handsome as the men of the York family, but compared to the general public, he was quite good-looking. More than enough for her.
“Mr. Fraser, do you want to marry me?” Kathryn suddenly asked.
She knew in her heart that her feelings for Pedro were no longer just those between a young lady and her assistant. Ever since she wanted to have a daughter with Pedro’s smart and capable genes, she had developed feelings for him.
Liberty often teased her and Pedro, saying she only wanted good genes and wanted to kill the father and keep the child.
Pedro replied affectionately, “Whether it’s marrying or getting married, as long as I’m with you, it’s all fine! In my heart, I’m your accessory, so just get married.”
He was willing to marry her, but he feared he wouldn’t have the chance.
Kathryn smiled and said, “When I am no longer the head of the Farrell family in the future, will you think I am useless? Will you blame yourself for having bad luck and following a useless master?”
Pedro replied, “No, Miss. You are not useless. You still have a conscience, which makes it impossible for you to be on the same page with Madam Farrell.”
Kathryn’s smile gradually disappeared. She sighed, “I just can’t empathize with my mother. Maybe it’s just like she said—I didn’t grow up with her, so I don’t have a deep relationship with her. I only know that if it’s not yours, don’t try to steal it. If it is yours, no one else can take it away. You can’t be too ruthless in your dealings with others. You have to have a conscience, so as not to have nightmares at night.”
She didn’t dare say she was a completely good person, but she could not agree with her mother and was unwilling to have her hands stained with blood and be responsible for several lives.
“Miss, no matter what decision you make, I will stand firmly on your side,” Pedro assured her. He could only stand on Kathryn’s side.
Just like Mr. Dunn, they couldn’t say that Mr. Dunn was a bad person, but he was Clarissa’s assistant. He was taught to be loyal to Clarissa for his whole life. No matter what Clarissa asked him to do, he had to do it and try his best to complete the task assigned to him.
Similarly, Pedro could only do this. He was also glad that Kathryn was different from Clarissa.
He had fallen in love with Kathryn, and Kathryn also had feelings for him. The feeling of mutual affection made him feel lucky.
Kathryn said, “Mr. Fraser, I feel relieved when you say this.”
Kathryn motioned Pedro to lower his head, and Pedro did as he was told. She put her arms around his neck, kissed him on the cheek, and finally kissed him on the lips.
Pedro instinctively hugged her back, then steadied her head. Not satisfied with her gentle kiss, he deepened the kiss.
After the passionate and affectionate kiss, Kathryn felt a little embarrassed. She was so moved that she couldn’t help but kiss Pedro. Being a person of action, she just kissed him when she wanted to.
“I want to sleep some more,” Kathryn said, feeling a bit shy. She lay down, closed her eyes, and used the excuse of being sleepy to hide her embarrassment.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3469
Married At First Sight Chapter 3469-“Don’t sleep yet. Put ice on your face before going to sleep. Your face is so red and swollen. Even if you fall asleep, I will put ice on you, which will affect your rest.”
Pedro knew that Kathryn was embarrassed. He kissed her red and swollen face and said distressingly, “I am yours, and I will always be yours. I just enjoyed it for a while, and now I’m embarrassed.”
“Who said I was embarrassed? I’m very thick-skinned. I’m not embarrassed. You also said that you are mine. What’s wrong with me kissing you? Even if I sleep with you, you can’t resist me.”
Kathryn refused to admit that she was embarrassed.
Pedro took some ice and applied it to her face. He smiled as he listened to her words, “You are welcome to sleep with me anytime, but it would be better if you could inform me in advance so that I can clean up before you enjoy it.”
Kathryn said, “I’ll have to stay away from you next time. Both sides of my face are swollen.” Kathryn was silent for a moment, then said, “I was the one who betrayed Mom first. She has a reason to be angry. Even though I think I did the right thing, to her, it was a betrayal. If it wasn’t for me and it was Shiloh, her conspiracy plan might have been half successful. So, if she wants to teach me a lesson, I’ll let her do it, just as long as she doesn’t kill me.
Apart from other things, she is no different from an ordinary mother. She can be extremely ruthless to other people’s children and kill them without blinking an eye, but she always loves her own children. She said that if I were not her biological daughter, I would not have seen the sun rise today.”
Kathryn looked out the window and added, “There is no sun today. I still haven’t seen the sun rise today. I told my mom not to hit me in the face next time she hits me.”
“And later!”
Pedro cried out softly.
Seeing her beaten this time, Pedro felt so heartbroken that he almost had a conflict with Clarissa because of her.
Clarissa insisted that Pedro leave, and he had no choice but to endure it to avoid a real conflict with her.
Kathryn smiled and said, “Not only will there be a next time, but there may be countless times. As long as I know her conspiracy, I can’t just do nothing, unless she hides it from me.”
After a pause, she looked at Pedro and said, “Now that you are by my side, it is difficult for her to hide what she did from me. She just doesn’t hit me in the face. If she cripples me, I won’t be able to marry a son-in-law, and I won’t be able to give birth to a daughter, so there will be no successor, and that’s not what she wants to see.”
After being persuaded by her mother, Kathryn understood her mother’s psychology.
Clarissa will not return the position of head of the family to her sister’s descendants. She hopes that Kathryn will take over everything in the Farrell family and then claim the Farrell family as her own. She will no longer support the people in the family. She hopes that everything in the Farrell family can be passed on to future generations, all of whom will be her descendants.
So, no matter how angry Clarissa was, she would not really take Kathryn’s life.
In Clarissa’s words, she did all kinds of bad things, offended many clan members, and drove many of them away. She sidelined the clan elders, centralized power, and gradually privatized the family business, turning it into real private property.
Having done so much, how could there be no one to take over?
What else is there for the mother to fight for?
Clarissa also said that if any of her three sons were capable of taking on the responsibility, she would not let Kathryn live.
“I won’t dislike you. No matter what you become, in my heart, you will always be my lady and my young mistress.”
She was also his woman!
Kathryn smiled and didn’t respond.
The atmosphere in Jensburg was quite tense, and Elora, who was on a business trip far away in Duatemalo City, Province G, had just finished dealing with the matters at hand.
She was so tired that she had to stop working.
During this business trip, she was more tired than when she was in the company.

Married At First Sight Chapter 3470-The main reason was that she wanted to shorten her business trip, so she worked overtime every day and could only return to the hotel to rest late at night. She often had to go to work as usual the next day.
She didn’t get enough rest, and her mental state was not good. She had to drink several cups of coffee every day to keep going.
She got up, walked to the window, and looked at the world outside.
The weather was cold, people were hurrying on the streets, and the flow of people was not large.
Tatum said that in Wiltspoon, there was a lot of traffic on the streets, whether it was day or night.
It was only during the New Year that the city became quiet and there were fewer people because all the migrant workers went back home to celebrate the New Year.
In just a few days, when the migrant workers came back from home, the city of Wiltspoon returned to its former bustling and vibrant state.
Fortunately, Tatum took care of her three meals a day during these days.
No matter how busy she was, she could always eat at mealtime.
It was Tatum’s responsibility as a chef, and he couldn’t delay her meals.
Oh, what she meant was that even if she was still busy and didn’t go back to the hotel to eat, Tatum would bring her food so that she could have freshly baked, steaming hot meals.
She had three normal meals, and her stomach pain seemed to be less severe.
Tatum…
When Elora thought of Tatum, she couldn’t help but think that Tatum might become the chef who had worked with her for the longest time.
She ate the food he cooked every day. Sometimes it was the same dish, but she never disliked it. Instead, she wanted to eat it more and more.
He was quite capable; no wonder his restaurant business was so booming.
Elora sent people to Wiltspoon to investigate Tatum twice. The first time was just to investigate Tatum’s character and obtain basic information.
The second focus of the investigation was on the business of the restaurants and hotels under Tatum’s name, whether the purchased ingredients were fresh, and whether the hygiene and safety standards were met.
Elora was quite satisfied with the results.
Tatum was a businessman, but he would not pass off inferior products as good ones for a little profit. He would not allow inferior products to be used to replace the ingredients for a certain dish, even if the cost was not low.
Therefore, his business was doing well, and he had a lot of repeat customers.
That’s right, expensive!
Because his restaurant used better ingredients, it was more expensive than others.
He has clearly marked the prices, and customers can order the dishes if they think they are worth it, and choose not to order if they think they are not. Anyway, he will not lower the prices of dishes just because others think they are too expensive, as that would cost him a lot of money and he would end up with holes in his pants.
Even though Tatum is actually the sixth young master of the York family and has no shortage of money, he can’t suffer losses every day. If their own private businesses are losing money every day and have not improved after a period of time, the eldest brother will pay attention to it and give them some advice to save it. If it cannot be saved, he will let them give up and stop the loss in time.
They won’t continue to lose money. There are many brothers. If each of them starts their own business and keeps making losses, even the ancestral property of the York family will not be enough to cover the losses.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
Elora’s cell phone rang.
Her cell phone was on the desk. She was standing in front of the window at the moment, so she had to walk back to the desk. When she saw the caller ID was Tinsley, she picked up the phone, sat down in the black swivel chair, and answered Tinsley’s call.
“What’s up?” Elora asked.
“It’s okay. Can’t I call you? You have been away on business for a few days and haven’t contacted home. We miss you too.”
Tinsley complained on the phone with a smile that Elora didn’t call home.
