Married At First Sight Chapter 3611
Married At First Sight Chapter 3611 – Silver Fox looked at Kevin and smiled at Donald. “Yes, Kevin is impressive, a good match for your daughter, Hayden.”
Donald responded, “Your sons-in-law are all outstanding. I’ve heard you have many talented female apprentices too. Maybe one of them could be a match for one of your sons-in-law.”
Zachary and Kevin remained silent.
Dakota, a friend of Silver Fox, joined the conversation. “His female apprentices listen to him about everything except marriage. When he pushes them to get married, they remind him that he never married and has lived a good life without worries in his old age. They argue that they’re starting to train young apprentices as their own children. When these apprentices grow up and are independent, they can support them in their old age, so they don’t see the need for marriage and children.”
Silver Fox shot Dakota a look. “Your precious apprentice is married, so you feel relieved and think your job is done. But when Sariyah wasn’t married yet, you were just as worried about her.”
Dakota laughed. “Now that I’ve fulfilled my duty, I’m just waiting to become a grandparent.”
When older folks gather, they often talk about the younger generation and their hopes for grandchildren.
Just then, the butler approached Donald respectfully. “Sir, Madam, Miss Hunt, and others have arrived.”
Liberty was on her way to pick up Audrey and the others.
The original plan was to welcome Audrey and Old Mr. Jimenez at the hotel, but Donald personally invited everyone to the Queen family’s home. Even though Liberty didn’t live with the Queen family, she often came over for meals.
“Big Brother Jimenez is finally here.”
Silver Fox, Dakota, and the others said a few words to Donald, then headed to the mansion’s entrance.
Donald, who had known Old Mr. Jimenez for a long time, went out with his wife, sons, and daughters to greet them. As hosts, they believed in personally welcoming their guests.
A few minutes later, everyone entered the luxurious hall, chatting and laughing.
The Queen family had prepared a meal in advance. Knowing that Audrey and her group hadn’t eaten yet, Donald invited everyone to the dining room to continue their conversation over dinner.
After dinner, Liberty took a walk with Audrey.
“Is Clarissa waiting for you at the cemetery?”
Liberty had only learned later that Clarissa had gone to the Farrell family cemetery early to wait for Audrey and the others.
Thankfully, they had help from Silver Fox, whose skilled apprentice, Finnegan, was even more powerful than Julian. As Silver Fox said, if Finnegan couldn’t uncover the information they needed, it would be difficult for anyone else to do so.
After receiving the news, they discussed their strategy and planned how to respond.
Zachary guessed that Clarissa wouldn’t make a move at the cemetery. She wanted to trap them all at once.
Knowing that Clarissa was plotting to eliminate them in one fell swoop, they rushed to Jensburg to create the illusion that her plan was about to succeed. In reality, even if Clarissa managed to lure them into the Farrell family mansion and set it on fire, they had a way to escape.
Old Mr. Jimenez revealed that there was a secret underground passage in the Farrell family mansion, built by the previous matriarch, Liberty’s grandmother. Only her grandmother and Old Mr. Jimenez knew about it.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3612
Married At First Sight Chapter 3612- The previous matriarch had the underground passage built as an emergency escape route in case of extreme danger. The passage had three entrances—inside the house, in the front yard, and in the backyard—greatly increasing their chances of escape.
Even without the passage, they had secretly gathered many people to be ready. If Clarissa tried to set the mansion on fire, their team would quickly take control of Mr. Dunn and his men, preventing them from pouring gasoline or starting the fire.
No matter how skilled Mr. Dunn was, he wasn’t as formidable as the Five Emperors who had ruled the world decades ago. Though retired, their disciples now held powerful positions in various fields, with connections across major cities.
They were just letting Clarissa believe her plan was working, keeping her confident.
“Yes, Clarissa is waiting there and won’t even let us visit my mother’s grave. How dare she go there? If my mother knew how cold-hearted she’s become, she’d rather have raised a dog than her. What an ungrateful person!”
Audrey despised Clarissa. Clarissa had torn her family apart.
Audrey lost her parents at a young age and was separated from her only sibling. When she finally found her sister, they were torn apart again—all because of Clarissa.
Clarissa ruined Audrey’s family, yet Clarissa herself lived a comfortable life. Despite marrying a man she didn’t love, Clarissa had four children. Except for her daughter being switched at birth, she had lived well.
Clarissa’s comfort came at the expense of Audrey’s family.
How could Audrey not be bitter?
Even the issue of Clarissa’s daughter being switched wasn’t entirely bad for her. Kathryn, Clarissa’s switched daughter, wasn’t aligned with her mother and wouldn’t continue the family’s grudges. Even if Clarissa died, Kathryn could still thrive.
Kathryn was capable and had Pedro, a powerful assistant, by her side. Even if she left the Farrell family and Jensburg, she would do well.
Although Audrey resented Clarissa, she didn’t hold it against Kathryn.
Kathryn had long ago told Audrey that she didn’t want the position of family head.
Her actions backed up her words.
At least when Clarissa tried to harm Liberty, Kathryn warned Liberty in time, foiling Clarissa’s plot.
“Aunt, didn’t you teach her a lesson?”
Liberty was furious. She regretted not learning martial arts, which would’ve allowed her to fight back against people like Clarissa.
If she had learned martial arts like Titus, she wouldn’t need bodyguards—she could protect herself.
“I didn’t, but Dr. Carden did. Liberty, Dr. Carden is amazing. Thankfully, we’re not her enemies. We really can’t afford to offend her. If you can’t befriend her, at least don’t cross her. Otherwise, you won’t even know what hit you.”
Lilian’s skills not only shocked Clarissa and her group but also surprised Audrey and Darrell.
Liberty added, “Dr. Carden is the fourth daughter of the Johnson family. The Johnson and York families are connected—Jane and Serenity are good friends. Now, Sonny and Titus are friends too. They meet several times a year and stay in touch. At least for the next generation, the relationship between the two families is strong. With these ties, how could we offend Dr. Carden?”
Even without that connection, knowing Lilian was a highly skilled doctor, they would avoid offending her at all costs.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3613
Married At First Sight Chapter 3613 – Liberty asked, “Aunt, how was Dr. Carden’s attack? Were you surprised too?”
Liberty knew Lilian was skilled in medicine but had no idea about her martial arts abilities. She imagined Lilian as a character from a martial arts novel, able to fly, grab things from afar, and even harm people with leaves.
Audrey replied, “I couldn’t see how Dr. Carden attacked, but suddenly, Clarissa and her bodyguards were on the ground. Dr. Carden mentioned she used a poison needle. I have no idea how it worked.”
Liberty responded, “A poison needle?”
It reminded her of something from a martial arts story.
“Uncle Jimenez said Dr. Carden is not only skilled in medicine but also in creating poisons. Thankfully, she doesn’t use them to harm people; otherwise, she’d be truly terrifying,” Audrey said, feeling a bit uneasy about Lilian’s abilities. “Uncle Jimenez also said she’s even better than her master. It’s a relief that she’s not our enemy.”
Liberty agreed, “That’s true.”
They were all on good terms, largely thanks to the connections of the older generation. The relationships built by Old Mr. Jimenez helped them forge alliances with powerful people they hadn’t even met before.
“Grandpa Jimenez met with Clarissa,” Liberty said before pausing.
Audrey continued, “After their meeting, Uncle Jimenez accused Clarissa of killing my mother. She denied it, of course, and asked for proof. We didn’t show any evidence at the cemetery to avoid it being stolen or destroyed.
My goal is to ruin her reputation first, and then take her life in revenge for my mother’s death. Even after forty or fifty years, I can’t forgive her for killing my mother and letting her continue to live.”
Clarissa seemed prepared to die with Audrey.
Audrey was waiting for Clarissa to make her move, knowing that if she did, it would end in tragedy for Clarissa and her children. Years ago, Clarissa had tried to eliminate every threat.
Audrey and Harlow were fortunate to escape with their nanny. Although separated from the nanny and sent to an orphanage, they survived.
Harlow passed away in middle age, but she left behind two daughters, Serenity and Liberty, which brought Audrey some comfort. Now that it was Audrey’s turn to seek revenge, she wanted Clarissa and her children to pay the price.
However, Audrey wouldn’t strike first. She planned to let Clarissa’s actions lead her to her own downfall, taking her children with her.
As for Kathryn…
“Liberty, how is Kathryn?” Audrey asked.
Liberty replied, “Kathryn has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, but she hasn’t returned to the company yet. Clarissa told her to rest at home, likely to keep her from finding out about her plans and warning me.
Clarissa also asked Pedro to drug Kathryn, so she would fall asleep, and Pedro could take her out of Jensburg.
But Kathryn refused, and Pedro, who is loyal to Kathryn, didn’t follow through. After leaving the hospital, Kathryn handed the drug over to me, and I had it tested.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3614
Married At First Sight Chapter 3614 – After a pause, Liberty said, “Kathryn is still okay. She didn’t grow up with Clarissa, and her values are quite positive. If possible, I don’t want her to die.”
Audrey was silent for a long time, then said, “Whether now or in the future, as long as Kathryn doesn’t take the initiative to become our enemy, we will not touch her. Her values are still positive now, but it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
Liberty, people will change. After all, Kathryn is Clarissa’s biological daughter. She has the blood of Clarissa and Holden in her veins and has inherited their genes.”
Liberty stopped talking.
According to Audrey, as long as Kathryn didn’t take the initiative to become their enemy, they wouldn’t do anything to her.
People will change. Not to mention anyone else, even Liberty herself felt that she had changed a lot.
After walking for a long time, Liberty spoke again, “Kathryn said that if my grandmother was really killed by her mother, she would never take over the Farrell family, and she wouldn’t take anything that doesn’t belong to her.
She also said that after everything settled, she would leave Jensburg and only needed to take Pedro with her.
Before being brought back, she had already opened several small companies with a high annual income, which was considered a successful business.
I still believe that Kathryn will do what she says. Although she is Clarissa’s biological daughter, she did not grow up with her, and their mother-daughter relationship is not deep. She wouldn’t seek revenge for Clarissa if Clarissa really died. She knows that even if her mother died, she deserved it.
Everyone must pay the price for the wrong things they’ve done and take responsibility.
Pedro is a very smart and capable person. He and Kathryn are together, and they can live a good life even without the Feng family. Pedro has fallen in love with Kathryn, and Kathryn also has feelings for him. From what I know about Kathryn, she may not want to take over the Farrell family.”
Audrey said, “I hope she can do what she says. I don’t want to be her enemy. Of Clarissa’s children, I only like Kathryn.”
Audrey looked down on Clarissa’s three sons, saying they were useless.
Even Shiloh, whom Clarissa had trained as her successor for more than 20 years, was looked down upon by Audrey after she met her. She felt that Shiloh was not even as good as Elisa.
Elisa: …Mom, do you think your daughter is that bad?
In the past, Elisa just didn’t involve herself in the business world.
Born into the Stone family, she had a natural talent for business.
Liberty asked, “Seren doesn’t suspect anything, right?”
Audrey thought for a moment and said, “I think Seren knows something, but she just won’t say it.”
“She knows that we all hid it from her for her own good. It’s really not appropriate for her to come here while pregnant. We can’t all come here. If our escape route and plan go wrong, at least there will be someone to collect our bodies. I won’t let Leland and Elisa come here. I have to leave a legacy for them and the Stone family.”
Liberty said, “Aunt, I believe that evil cannot prevail over good. It’s not 40 or 50 years ago. It’s a society ruled by law. The influence of the Farrell family in Jensburg has seriously declined. Clarissa’s conspiracy to deal with us, any plan, as long as it’s caught by the police, will be enough to ruin them.
Our goal is to seek justice for my grandmother and others and take back the position of head of the family that should have been inherited by you.”
Audrey and Liberty shared the same idea as Kathryn.
If it was their own, they would definitely find a way to take it back.
If it didn’t belong to them, they didn’t want it.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3615
Married At First Sight Chapter 3615 – Audrey nodded and said, “Liberty, you’ve already taken care of everything, and that puts my mind at ease. I just hope we all get home safely.
Seren mentioned that Zachary would pick her and Sonny up from FC Manor. Duncan also made it clear that you must return to Wiltspoon safely. He’s waiting for you to get the marriage certificate so you can celebrate the New Year together.”
Audrey held Liberty’s hand, smiling as she talked about Liberty and Duncan’s marriage. “I’m thrilled to see you and Duncan getting married, planning your wedding, and watching Seren have her baby. I’m happy for your mother too.”
Blushing, Liberty asked, “Isn’t it too rushed to get the certificate during the New Year?”
Audrey replied, “Getting a marriage certificate isn’t the same as having a wedding, so there’s no rush. Just like Zachary and Seren, they got their certificate first and then took their time planning the wedding. Duncan promised you a grand wedding and won’t disappoint you.
It brings me peace knowing you and your sister have found good partners and are living happy lives. The men you both chose are responsible, so I don’t worry about you being mistreated.
Elisa and Remy are also doing well. Now, I’m only concerned about Leland’s marriage. He’s the same age as you but a couple of months older, and while Sonny is already in kindergarten, Leland doesn’t even have a girlfriend.
We spoiled him too much, letting him do as he pleased, which led to him being away from home all the time. Now, he’s in his early thirties and still single.”
Audrey continued with concern, “Liberty, when you get back to Wiltspoon, you should help Leland find someone so he can settle down.”
Liberty shared her concern, “Aunt, I don’t know many girls. The good ones are already taken, and I wouldn’t introduce anyone unsuitable to Leland. It’s hard for me to find someone for him.
But there are plenty of young women at the company. If Leland is serious, he won’t have trouble finding someone who meets his standards.”
Liberty put the responsibility back on Leland.
Audrey sighed, “That’s true. If he wants to find someone, we don’t need to push him; he’ll do it himself. But if he’s not interested, pushing him every day won’t help. Let’s just leave it be. When the time is right, it will happen naturally.”
If Leland really doesn’t want to get married, Audrey, as his mother, will have to accept it. Luckily, Clive has given her a grandson.
And with Elisa marrying into the Johnson family, it brings some comfort to Audrey as she grows older.
“Aunt, if I do end up taking care of things in Jensburg, should I change my last name to Farrell? Duncan will come live with us, and any daughter we have will carry my surname. Will the Lewis family be okay with that?”
Audrey and Serenity had already discussed this with Mr. and Mrs. Lewis.
The Lewis family said that as long as Liberty and Duncan are happy, nothing else matters.
With four sons in the Lewis family, if Duncan is willing to live with Liberty’s family, that’s his choice. If they have a daughter in the future, whether her last name is Farrell or Lewis, she’ll still be Duncan and Liberty’s child.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were very open-minded. Their youngest son loved Liberty, and as long as they were happy, that was all that mattered. Even if Duncan lived with Liberty’s family, he would still be their son.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3616
Married At First Sight Chapter 3616 – Audrey said, “Your mother and I only have three daughters, and we must exclude Seren. She’s the eldest lady of the York family, and with Zachary being the head, she’ll be the future matriarch of the Yorks, so she can’t take over the Farrell family.”
“Remy’s parents are also open-minded and have said that if Remy needs to, he can take on that role, and they won’t object. But it’s different for Elisa and Seren. Managing a large family requires balancing business and family affairs, and Elisa doesn’t have the patience for that. Her temper isn’t suited for it—she’s too proud, and that can easily offend people.
You, on the other hand, have more experience and maturity than Elisa. You’ve spent some time in Jensburg, and the family is starting to recognize you. You’re the most suitable for this role.”
“After the situation with Clarissa is resolved, and if Kathryn leaves Jensburg, you’ll take over the Farrell family and Farrell Group. If you need help, you can ask us. Place the capable young members of the family in appropriate roles where they can excel.
But remember one thing—you must maintain control as the head of the family. Otherwise, others may gain power and turn against us. This happens often in large, old families.
The Farrell family has its own outdated rules. Once you’re established, you can start to change them. Keep in mind that rules are fixed, but people aren’t. As long as the changes you make benefit everyone, they will support you. You’ll also have an all-around assistant by your side. The family provides these assistants, regardless of who leads, and they are absolutely loyal, often serving the head of the family for a lifetime.”
Liberty listened quietly.
Audrey continued, “Your mother’s maiden name was Farrell. If you change yours to Farrell, you’ll be taking on her surname. Seren will keep your father’s surname. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“In fact, no matter what your surname is, you’ll always be your parents’ daughter. But the Farrell family has its rules. If you don’t change your surname back to Farrell, they’ll say you’re not truly part of the family and have no right to be involved in its affairs, even though you’re my mother’s granddaughter.
They would use that as an excuse to fight for power. Liberty, what we’re fighting for isn’t just power or position, but to reclaim what’s rightfully ours. We can’t stand by and watch the family property left by our ancestors get divided up, or see the family fall apart.”
Liberty said, “Aunt, I understand. If things go as planned, I’ll change my surname to Farrell, like my mother, and Seren will keep the Hunt name. But I’ll need to have another child with Duncan, and it must be a daughter. If we only have a son, will we have to keep trying until we have a daughter?”
Audrey smiled and said, “It depends on how much influence you have in that position. If you can change the rules so that the most capable person takes over, and no one objects, then your child can take on that role, regardless of gender. But if that doesn’t work, you and Duncan might need to try for a daughter. It would be best if your second child is a girl. We all love daughters.”
Liberty sighed, “In that case, the pressure on me to have a daughter is even greater than on Seren.”
The York family hadn’t had a daughter for generations. While they hoped for one, they were also realistic and didn’t expect it.
Liberty’s situation was different. If she really becomes the head of the Farrell family in the future, according to tradition, she must have a daughter as her successor.
The pressure to have a daughter suddenly felt overwhelming.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3617
Married At First Sight Chapter 3617 – Hearing the voices of Lilian and Sariyah chatting in the distance, Audrey and Liberty turned to see them approaching, with Hayden in between them. It looked as though Hayden was being flanked by two beautiful young women, almost like a big man with an arm around each.
As they walked over, Liberty said to Audrey, “Aunt, even though I’ve known for a while that Hayden is a woman, every time I see her, I still think she looks more like a man.”
The only difference was that she didn’t have an Adam’s apple.
Audrey smiled and said, “She’s been acting like a man since she was a child. She’s tall for a woman, has a cold demeanor, and it’s easy to mistake her for a man. She doesn’t like wearing women’s clothes either. Every time Kevin goes out with her, they probably get a lot of strange looks.”
People might think they were a same-sex couple.
As Kevin once joked, not only did people assume they were gay, but they also thought he was the submissive one.
Hayden is tough and cold, and as the CEO of Queen Enterprise, if she were a man, she wouldn’t be happy in a submissive role. She’d want to be in control and call the shots.
That’s just her nature.
Even though she’s a woman, if she marries Kevin, he’ll likely take a supporting role in their marriage, with Hayden leading the way.
Liberty mused, “If she were a man, women would be falling over themselves for her.”
Audrey responded, “She’s a woman, and they still are. When people found out she was a woman, so many hearts were broken, and some admirers even cried in secret.”
As Liberty and Audrey talked, the three women reached them.
“Mrs. Stone, Sister Liberty,” they greeted.
Liberty and Audrey smiled in return.
“The men are off discussing important matters, so we ladies decided to take a walk. Ms. Queen, would you join us?” Sariyah asked.
Lilian yawned, “If Sariyah hadn’t dragged me out, I’d have gone back to my room to rest. I didn’t sleep well.”
Audrey apologized, “Dr. Carden, I’m sorry if we didn’t take good care of you.”
Lilian had traveled from Wiltspoon to join them, so Audrey assumed that poor hospitality on their part had caused Lilian’s lack of rest.
“No, Mrs. Stone, it’s not your fault. It’s my little crybaby at home. Even when I’m away, I can’t escape his tears. His dad video-called me while holding him, and he cried, wanting me to hold him. Even with his grandpa at home, he still cried.”
Lilian was talking about her son, Fabian.
Liberty said, “That’s how kids are. They cry when they see their mothers, but they’re fine when they don’t. Some kids act spoiled around their parents but are well-behaved when their parents aren’t around.”
When parents are around, kids know they have a backup and can get away with being spoiled. When the parents aren’t there, there’s no one to fuss over them.
Kids are smart—they understand a lot, even if they’re too young to express it in words.
Sariyah smiled and said, “Well, that’s on me. I’m not a mother yet, so I can’t fully understand.”
Lilian yawned again and added, “I didn’t expect Fabian to cry even with my master around. I guess I’m not a failure as a mother, at least my son misses me when I’m away.”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Then Lilian pulled a candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, popped it in her mouth, and said, “It’s minty and a little spicy. Anyone want to try?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3618
Married At First Sight Chapter 3618 – Hayden, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke up, “Dr. Carden, why don’t you go back to the house to rest? The guest rooms are ready. I’ll walk around with the others and then head back. It’s too cold out here.”
She was concerned that the visitors from Wiltspoon, who were used to milder winter temperatures, might struggle with the harsh cold of Jensburg.
Even Sonny, who missed Liberty, didn’t want to stay long after the winter break. He went to FC Manor with Serenity because Jensburg’s winter was too cold for him. A short visit to see the snow and build a snowman was fine, but staying for an extended period wasn’t ideal.
Lilian, having just finished a mint candy, said, “I’ve enjoyed the scenery of your Queen family estate. Let’s take a quick walk around and head back. Those men are probably still deep in business talk.”
The men, being leaders in their fields, had plenty to discuss and rarely saw each other. Despite gathering to confront Clarissa, they valued this brief time together.
So, what started as a two-person walk turned into a five-person stroll with lively conversation.
Meanwhile, Clarissa was far from relaxed. After leaving her private cemetery and returning to the city, she planned to go straight to the Farrell family mansion to confront her biological daughter and possibly tip her off. But then she received a call from her secretary, urgently asking her to return to the office because the police had arrived in large numbers.
Why were the police there?
Clarissa felt a wave of dread. Her people had hidden guns—had Liberty’s group found out and reported her? But then she remembered that except for one pistol she had hidden, all the other weapons were in Mr. Dunn’s possession. This thought calmed her.
The pistol she had hidden was a secret known to no one, not even her closest confidants or her children. She had never used it, having acquired it during a more lenient time, and she kept it well-concealed.
There was no way Liberty’s people could know about it unless they had some supernatural abilities like x-ray vision or mind reading.
Clarissa asked the secretary in a steady voice, “Did the police say what they wanted to talk to me about?”
The secretary replied, “Ma’am, they didn’t tell me anything specific. They just asked me to notify you to come back to the company, or they would meet you wherever you are. They seemed very serious.”
It was as if they were there to arrest someone.
The secretary suspected their boss might have been involved in something illegal, which had drawn the police’s attention, but she didn’t dare voice this thought. Clarissa had been in a foul mood lately, making everyone at the company nervous and on edge whenever she was around. Even her three sons had been lying low, trying to avoid her wrath.
“I understand. I’ll head back now,” Clarissa said, confident that her hidden guns were safe from discovery. She assumed the police visit was probably due to a report Liberty had made about some wrongdoing at Farrell Group. But without evidence, she wasn’t worried.
After all, despite accusations from Audrey and Old Mr. Jimenez that she was responsible for her sister’s death, they had no proof. No matter how much they accused her, she refused to admit anything. Without an admission, what could they do to her?
Clarissa wasn’t afraid of being slandered; she had endured it for the past forty or fifty years and was still living well. Many people hadn’t lived as comfortably as she had.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3619
Married At First Sight Chapter 3619 – On the way back to the office, Clarissa called Kathryn.
As soon as Kathryn answered, Clarissa asked, “Kathryn, where are you right now?”
“Resting at home,” Kathryn replied. “Thanks to you, Mom, I spent a few days in the hospital. I just got back home, and you told me to keep resting, so that’s what I’m doing.”
Clarissa’s voice trembled as she asked, “Have you done something behind my back to hurt me again?”
“Mom, what exactly are you talking about?” Kathryn asked calmly.
Clarissa was furious, barely containing her anger. What was she referring to? Kathryn had betrayed her countless times. Audrey once said this was karma, but Clarissa didn’t believe in retribution. Yet, her life was far from easy. Outwardly, it looked glamorous, but in reality, she was the one holding everything together. Her husband and sons lived off her money, and while they were dependent on her, they didn’t contribute much.
Her daughter, Kathryn, had the ability to help, but they weren’t on the same page, and Kathryn had betrayed her numerous times.
“You’ve hurt me plenty,” Clarissa said weakly, frustration and exhaustion in her voice. “Kathryn, even though you didn’t grow up with me, I carried you for nine months. I gave you life. Doesn’t our mother-daughter bond mean anything to you?”
Kathryn was silent for a moment before responding, “How much of a mother-daughter bond do you think we really have?”
She was already 26 or 27 years old when she reunited with her biological parents. When she first returned, she was treated unfairly. Her relatives were polite, but their affection was reserved for Shiloh. In their eyes, Shiloh was their true daughter (sister). Kathryn’s return disrupted their perfect family dynamic, and they resented her for it.
Shiloh had taken her place, enjoying everything that should have been Kathryn’s, yet the family blamed Kathryn. It wasn’t her fault that she had been switched with Shiloh.
Feelings grow over time, but Kathryn hadn’t had much time to build those feelings with her biological family. She felt a little attachment to her mother, but it wasn’t deep. Her values and way of life were formed long before she reunited with her biological family and weren’t going to change just because she came back.
Clarissa struggled to speak. After a long pause, she said, “No matter what you think of me, my love for you as your mother is real and pure.
Even if I were to die, I’d still make sure to pave the way for you. If I’m trying to protect you, can’t you stand by my side? Even if you don’t, at least don’t betray me or hold me back.”
Clarissa suspected that Kathryn had uncovered her plot involving the cemetery and tipped off Liberty, who then set everything in motion. If her plan failed, not only would it be exposed, but she’d be caught by the police, with all the evidence pointing to her crime.
So far, these were just rumors; nothing had been confirmed. Years ago, she had two sisters—one older, one younger. Both were dead, leaving Clarissa as the sole survivor who successfully took over the Farrell family. Only a fool wouldn’t suspect her.
She had ignored these rumors for 40 to 50 years. When a family member acted against her, she dealt with them harshly to set an example.
Those who knew even a little bit about the situation either disappeared, died of illness, or had fatal accidents. None survived more than three years after the incident.
“Mom, why don’t you tell me what happened?” Kathryn asked calmly. “Let’s see if I’m really the one who betrayed you.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3620
Married At First Sight Chapter 3620 – Kathryn had been in the hospital recently and hadn’t done anything. If anyone acted, it was Pedro, not her.
Clarissa asked, “You know I went to the cemetery, right? Did you tell Liberty? Also, the police came to the company and asked to see me. Did you betray me? How much do you know?”
Kathryn replied, “Mom, I was in the hospital for days, too weak to get out of bed at first. Pedro had to help me with everything. What could someone in my condition possibly do? I told you I didn’t do anything recently. Do you believe me?”
“I know you went to the cemetery. You weren’t exactly subtle about it, bringing a group of bodyguards. There are also groundskeepers at the cemetery. Everyone else in the clan knew about it, so of course, I did too.
Did you go there to pay your respects or to burn down the Farrell family’s ancestors?”
Clarissa was left speechless.
How could she have raised such an ungrateful daughter?
She was so furious she couldn’t even argue.
“If the police came to the company, you should be asking your three sons if they did anything illegal, not me. I wasn’t given control of Farrell’s illegal or questionable businesses. Farrell’s has no shady dealings, let alone anything illegal.”
Clarissa glared at Kathryn. “You can say whatever you want, but don’t you dare ruin Farrell’s reputation. That company is for you and your daughter. If you destroy it, you’ll only be hurting your own interests.”
Kathryn remained calm. “Mom, since you say Farrell’s hasn’t done anything illegal, then why are you so anxious and afraid?
Even if your three sons did something illegal, let them be arrested. It won’t affect you, except maybe Farrell’s reputation.”
Clarissa was stunned.
She hadn’t even asked her sons if they had done something illegal and gotten caught. Instead, she immediately suspected her daughter.
Kathryn had Pedro by her side, and with her personality, she was unlikely to do anything illegal. But her sons were a different story.
They weren’t the brightest, and if they did something illegal, they probably didn’t cover their tracks well, making it easy for someone to report them.
As Clarissa thought about it, she calmed down. Perhaps she was just feeling guilty. When she heard the police had come to the company, her first thought was that her hidden gun had been discovered.
Even her family didn’t know about the gun, so how could outsiders? If Liberty had the means to find out, they wouldn’t have waited this long to report her. They would’ve done so immediately, and she would’ve been arrested long ago.
Liberty relied on the Bucham family for information, but the Buchams weren’t all-powerful.
“Kathryn, why won’t you follow the path I’ve laid out for you? I’m doing this for your own good. I would never harm you.
