Chapter 4121
“I’m so used to having him by my side, and now that he’s hiding, I feel completely out of sorts.” Kathryn smacked her lips and added with a sigh, “If I want to kiss him, I have to do it in my dreams.”
Liberty was stunned.
Seeing Liberty’s speechless expression, Kathryn smiled. “What? Did I just change the way you see me?”
Liberty nodded. “Yeah, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of Kathryn.”
Kathryn chuckled.
“Pedro is way too serious and way too respectful toward me. If I hadn’t taken the initiative, even after marrying him, we’d probably end up sleeping separately, and he wouldn’t even dare to turn over in bed.”
Liberty thought about Pedro’s usual stern demeanor. He only seemed like a normal person when he was around Kathryn, but even then, he was still overly respectful and never crossed any boundaries.
“Well, you’re still technically his lady,” Liberty pointed out. “Of course, he treats you that way. Once you’re really married, things will change. But one thing’s for sure—his love and loyalty to you are unquestionable.”
Kathryn gave Liberty a knowing look and lowered her voice to ask a few private questions—ones only a wife would know.
Liberty, having been married twice, immediately blushed. “If you really don’t know, just watch a movie.”
“I can’t watch a movie now. Even searching online doesn’t help—everything’s been wiped clean.”
Liberty was speechless.
“Okay,” she sighed. “Look, the whole husband-and-wife thing happens naturally. You don’t need experience. When the time comes, it’ll all fall into place. And trust me, Pedro might seem like a stiff, but men are one way outside the bedroom and completely different inside it. You’ll see.”
Kathryn murmured, “It’s not that I don’t understand—it’s just that I don’t have firsthand experience. I was hoping you could teach me a few tricks to keep a husband under control.”
Liberty laughed. “You? Needing tricks? Kathryn, with Pedro’s level of devotion, if you tell him to go east, he won’t dare to go west. If you tell him to walk through fire, he won’t even hesitate.”
She softened her tone. “You don’t need to control him. Just be sincere, put your heart into your marriage, and trust him. Give him space, respect him. That’s all it takes. If you do that, you’ll love each other for a lifetime.”
Liberty had no doubt that Pedro’s loyalty meant Kathryn would always have the upper hand in their marriage. As long as she respected him, their love would last.
Kathryn nodded thoughtfully. “I get it. I learned my lesson just by watching my parents’ marriage. I won’t suffocate Pedro. If a man wants to cheat, no matter how tightly you control him, he’ll still find a way. And if he’s truly loyal, then even if you don’t monitor his every move, he won’t stray.”
After a moment, she asked, “Liberty, when you marry Mr. Lewis, will you be managing all his finances? Will he get an allowance from you, or will you both handle your own money? My mom never let my dad carry more than $500 in his wallet.”
“According to Farrell family rules, the husband of the family head gets a monthly allowance of tens of thousands of dollars during the marriage, but my mother never gave that to my dad. He could only get money from his son or Shiloh.”
Liberty smiled. “Duncan said he’d hand over everything to me. He told me that what’s his is mine, and what’s mine is still mine. But honestly, I don’t have the time to manage it all, so we’ll probably just handle our own finances separately.”
She added, “He randomly sends me money, red envelopes, transfers—he even wanted to give me his entire monthly income. But my net worth isn’t even close to Duncan’s.”
If Liberty hadn’t taken over the Farrell Group and become its new leader, there would’ve been a huge financial gap between her and Duncan.
Even though she had her own business in Wiltspoon and lived in a villa, that villa had been half-bought, half-gifted to her by Zachary. If she hadn’t insisted on paying for it, Zachary would’ve just given it to her and Sonny outright.
Married At First Sight Chapter 4122
Chapter 4122
“Take your time. You’ll close the gap soon enough. I believe you have what it takes to lead the Farrell family back to the top. But let’s set that aside for now—we need to tackle this work issue first.”
After discussing family matters for a bit, Kathryn shifted the conversation to business. She handed Liberty the documents she had brought.
The two of them went over the details and strategized how to resolve the issue.
At noon, Duncan arrived early at the company, waiting for Liberty so they could have lunch together.
Standing at the entrance of the office building, Kathryn watched them leave, feeling a pang of envy.
She missed Pedro. Even though he was still protecting her, he had gone from being openly by her side to operating in the shadows. She wasn’t used to it.
But to lure her three brothers into her trap, she had to endure it—and wait.
In her heart, she urged them to act faster. She didn’t want to wait too long.
Just then, Marco and his two brothers stepped out of the elevator, deep in conversation. When they spotted Kathryn standing outside, they hesitated for a brief moment but quickly pretended not to see her. Without a word, they veered to her right and walked past her.
A few moments later, three cars pulled away from the Farrell Group building.
Kathryn stood there for a while before heading to the parking lot. Her personal bodyguard was already waiting by the car. As soon as he saw her approaching, he rushed over. Another bodyguard immediately opened the car door for her.
Meanwhile, after leaving the company, Marco didn’t head to the Farrell Group’s hotel for lunch. Instead, he returned to his private villa in Jensburg’s high-end residential area.
When he got married, his mother had purchased the villa outright, fully furnished it, and gifted it to him and his wife as their marital home. The property was registered in both their names.
When Marco divorced Erika, she chose not to fight for the house. Given that they had been married for over a decade and had three children—who all lived with Erika—Marco compensated her financially.
His two younger brothers followed him home.
As Marco approached the villa community, he noticed two men squatting near the entrance. The security guards were keeping an eye on them, wary that they might be troublemakers.
The moment they spotted Marco’s car, the two men quickly stood up, straightened their clothes, and tried to make themselves look more presentable.
Marco stopped the car.
They immediately walked over, their expressions eager and obsequious. As Marco rolled down the window, one of them said respectfully, “Master Farrell, we’ve been waiting here for a long time.”
“Call me Mr. Janzen,” Marco corrected, his tone firm. “I’m no longer the Master of the Farrell family.”
The Farrell family was no longer theirs. They had no right to set foot in the family estate anymore.
Marco didn’t want to be addressed as “Master Farrell” anymore. After all, his surname wasn’t even Farrell.
Back when his mother ruled the family, they had been at the center of power.
But now, she was gone. The people who once flocked around them had long since distanced themselves. And even those who still stuck around no longer treated them with the same respect.
People could be so fickle.
“Get in the car.”
Marco unlocked the doors, allowing the two men to climb in.
“Thank you,” they said hurriedly before getting into the back seat.
Marco then drove into the villa community.
“How’s Auntie doing?” he asked while keeping his eyes on the road. “Is she feeling better?”
Both men in the backseat nodded.
“She’s doing much better. Shiloh has been gone for a while now, and my mother is finally starting to move on.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 4123
Chapter 4123
Shiloh’s brothers sat in silence.
Marco let out a low hum. “It’s good that you’re feeling better. There’s no point dwelling on sadness. What really matters is avenging Shiloh and getting justice.”
The two brothers remained quiet. They were never particularly capable. Back when their father worked as the butler for the Farrell family, their family lived comfortably. They had a high income, excellent benefits, and were the wealthiest household in their village.
Believing their wealth would last forever, the brothers never cared for education. Instead, they wasted their days running around with bad company, spending recklessly on alcohol and women.
It wasn’t until they got married and had children that they finally grew more responsible. But by then, their father had been imprisoned, and their younger sister, Kathryn—whom they had mistreated—had returned to the Farrell family.
She wanted nothing to do with them. The most she did was give them some money.
With that money, and some of their parents’ savings, the brothers built houses in the village and furnished them well. But soon after, their financial situation took a drastic turn for the worse.
Once Kathryn rejoined the Farrell family, they thought they could use her to gain control—just as their father had once manipulated the family. They assumed that through Kathryn, they could reap the same benefits he once had.
Their father had been determined to make Shiloh the head of the Farrell family so that he could rule through her, securing power and wealth for their family. His plan nearly worked—until everything fell apart.
Kathryn left. Shiloh never came back.
They were left with nothing.
Their mother went to see Kathryn, hoping to get money from her. But Kathryn had changed. The once timid girl was now cold and strong, unwilling to be used. Their mother found no financial help there.
Shiloh had been more generous, but their mother didn’t want to push her too hard for money either.
Shiloh, for her part, wanted nothing to do with them.
With no other choice, the brothers had to rely on themselves, taking whatever work they could find just to get by.
Then, the eldest lady of the Farrell family approached them with an offer. She gave them a large sum of money and asked them to meet with Shiloh—to convince her not to be a mistress, not to destroy another woman’s family.
They went for the money.
When they learned that Shiloh was trying to break up the marriage of the Farrell family’s eldest son, they were stunned. They also found out the truth about Shiloh and her adoptive father…
Even though they had little emotional connection to Shiloh—mostly because she had never acknowledged them—it was still disgraceful. Their mother was heartbroken.
They desperately tried to talk Shiloh out of it, urging her to come back home. She had money. She could live well in their hometown.
Besides, the Farrell family’s three young masters had always treated Shiloh kindly. If she chose to return home, they believed she could still benefit from their support.
But then, everything spiraled out of control.
Shiloh fell to her death.
They were not innocent. They should have faced legal consequences.
But thanks to the eldest young lady of the Farrell family, they were never held accountable. In the end, Shiloh’s death was officially ruled an accident.
Marco glanced at them through the rearview mirror. Their silence didn’t surprise him in the slightest.
He spoke again, his voice steady. “Shiloh’s death… your family’s downfall… it all comes back to one person—Kathryn. If it weren’t for her, Shiloh would still be alive, and your family wouldn’t have ended up like this.
“Yes, she’s our biological sister, but to her, we don’t even exist. The only sister we recognize is Shiloh.
“If only we could turn back time.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 4124
Chapter 4124
Marco continued, “Don’t let Kathryn return to the Farrell family. Ever since she came back, everything has gone downhill. So much has happened—now even my mother is dead, and my father is disabled. All of this traces back to Kathryn.”
“Kathryn is ungrateful. She’s been conspiring with the people in Wiltspoon, and even now, she’s still in contact with them. She wants to give up everything in the Farrell family—everything that rightfully belonged to Shiloh.”
Shiloh’s two brothers remained silent.
They had known for a long time that Kathryn wasn’t their biological sister. Shiloh—the rightful heir of the Farrell family—was.
Because of that, they treated Kathryn horribly. They bullied and tormented her constantly.
As Kathryn grew older, she learned to fight back. But between the three of them, she was always the one at a disadvantage.
Deep down, she despised them.
At first, Kathryn didn’t know the truth. She simply thought her parents favored sons over daughters. That disappointment gradually eroded whatever little affection she had for them.
But when the truth came out, everything changed.
She realized it wasn’t favoritism—it was betrayal. They weren’t her parents at all. They were the very people who had ruined her life.
After that, there was nothing left to feel. No attachment. No love.
And the truth was, nothing in the Farrell family ever belonged to Shiloh. It rightfully belonged to the Farrells’ biological daughter.
Marco, seeing no reaction from the brothers, finally asked outright, “Do you hate Kathryn?”
For the first time, they responded. One brother nodded. The other spoke.
“Hate? Of course, I hate her. I hate her more than anything.”
“In your words, Mr. Janzen, if it weren’t for Kathryn, Shiloh would still be alive. Our family wouldn’t have fallen this far. Even you wouldn’t be struggling like this.”
Though they lived in the countryside, they had kept a close eye on everything happening in the Farrell family.
“But what does it matter?” Shiloh’s eldest brother said, his tone resigned. “Even if she’s planning to hand the Farrell family over to someone else, right now, she’s still in charge. She has all the power, all the money, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
He paused before adding bitterly, “She won’t even see us. She hates us, and we all know why.”
Shiloh’s second brother, his voice laced with frustration, muttered, “Yeah, we treated her badly. But at the end of the day, she still grew up in our family. And now that she’s on top, she turns her back on us completely? She’s heartless.”
His hatred ran even deeper. But he was powerless.
If only they had known how ruthless Kathryn would become once she gained power, they would have made sure she never got the chance. If they had gotten rid of her back then, the secret would have stayed buried, Shiloh would still be alive, and everything in the Farrell family would still belong to her.
And they, as Shiloh’s biological brothers, would have reaped all the benefits.
Kathryn had stolen their future.
Marco sneered. “Kathryn is cold-blooded. She turned against her own parents. She sided with those outsiders in Wiltspoon and stood against my parents. And now that my mom is gone, she took all the wealth my mother left behind—every last penny. She didn’t give a single cent to her three brothers.
“And my dad? She refuses to support him. My father has to rely on us—his real sons.
“It’s not like my parents abandoned her. They didn’t want to give her up. It was just… an accident that tore them apart.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 4125
Chapter 4125
“Kathryn will face retribution for this,” Marco said bitterly. “I want to see how she dies. Sooner or later, those people in Wiltspoon will take her out.
“Does she really think she can earn their favor by betraying her own family for the sake of so-called justice? They despise us. No matter what she does, she’s still my parents’ biological daughter—there’s no way she’ll escape unscathed.”
“Exactly.”
They continued cursing Kathryn the entire way.
When they arrived at Marco’s villa, he drove through the gate and parked. Shiloh’s brothers stepped out, glancing around. The place was lavish.
Marco had called it a “small house,” but compared to what they had in the countryside, this was a mansion.
Marco led them inside.
As they followed him, the eldest brother leaned in and whispered to his younger brother, “Second brother, they’re locked in a brutal fight with Kathryn over the family fortune. If they brought us all the way here, it can’t be for anything good.
“Whatever they ask, don’t agree unless I do. And if they want us to do something, we name our price—tens of millions, minimum. We won’t make the same mistake as last time with Shiloh. We won’t risk our lives for nothing.”
The second brother grunted in agreement.
They had already guessed why the Janzen brothers had summoned them. They wanted to team up against Kathryn.
But if the three Janzen brothers couldn’t take her down, what chance did two nobodies from the countryside have? They had no money, no power—nothing to fight Kathryn with.
Inside, Marco gestured for them to sit. He ordered the nanny to make tea and asked Noel to bring out fruit and snacks.
The three Janzen brothers settled on the long sofa. Shiloh’s brothers took single chairs. After sipping their tea and snacking, the eldest brother got straight to the point.
“Mr. Janzen, you called us here today—just say what you need. If we can help, we will. But we’re not in a good financial situation. We scrape by with odd jobs, so if we drop everything to help you, we expect proper compensation.”
They wouldn’t lift a finger for free.
Marco picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, then set it down.
“I did ask you here for a reason,” he said. “But don’t worry—we’ll pay you whether it succeeds or not. This is about getting revenge for Shiloh.
“You both know how to drive, right? I want you to ram Kathryn’s car. Make it look like an accident. If we’re lucky, she’ll die on the spot.”
He leaned back, his tone casual.
“It’s just an accident. If you have insurance, you’ll only need to pay some money. And if you get caught, we’ll handle the legal side. We’ll do everything we can to get you out as soon as possible.
“And even if you do end up in prison, it won’t be for long. In the meantime, we’ll make sure your families are well taken care of. You’ll walk away with a fortune.”
Shiloh’s brothers exchanged a glance.
The eldest finally spoke. “A crash like that has to be carefully planned. And even then, it might not work. Kathryn always has bodyguards when she goes out.”
“You just need to get her alone,” Marco said. “We’ll take care of the rest. If we can’t stage the accident, we have a backup plan—crash into her bodyguards instead. Force her car to stop.
“Once we have her, leave the rest to us.”
Marco had thought of everything.
Married At First Sight Chapter 4126
Chapter 4126
If the car accident failed, they would take out Kathryn’s bodyguard first. Without protection and with Pedro away on a business trip, Kathryn—who didn’t know martial arts—would be completely vulnerable.
The plan was simple: kidnap her, kill her, chop her up, and dump her body into the sea. No one would ever find her.
With Kathryn dead, the massive inheritance left by her mother would be theirs.
They still wouldn’t be able to take over the Farrell Group or control the Farrell family, and they couldn’t do anything to Liberty either. But without Kathryn, Liberty—new to her position and lacking experience—would be left scrambling. There was no one to properly guide her, and it was uncertain whether she’d even be able to hold onto power.
Marco and his brothers had two main objectives:
First, to kill Kathryn. Their hatred for her ran so deep that only her death could satisfy them.
Second, to reclaim the massive inheritance their mother had left her.
Once that money was in their hands, they could return to their hometown and live in luxury. Their mother had accumulated substantial private wealth, and splitting it equally among the three of them would ensure they never had to lift a finger again.
Shiloh’s second brother hesitated. “But what about that powerful man always by Kathryn’s side? If he’s still around, will this plan even work?”
They had heard rumors—he was not someone to be messed with.
Sage responded, “Pedro is on a business trip. He left for another province and won’t be back for at least ten days, maybe two weeks. That’s why we need to act fast. We can’t wait for him to return. We need to handle Kathryn within the next couple of days. That’s why we brought you here—to plan the execution.”
“Are you absolutely sure he’s gone?”
Shiloh’s eldest brother was cautious. “You need to confirm this. Don’t fall into Kathryn’s trap. She’s clever. We used to underestimate her, but if we slip up now, she’ll be the one laughing in the end.”
They had all believed Kathryn was weak, nothing more than a useless outsider.
They had been wrong. She had played the long game, pretending to be a helpless pig, only to reveal herself as a tiger when it was too late.
“We’ve been watching closely,” Sage assured them. “Pedro hasn’t been with Kathryn in days. We also checked—he boarded a flight out of Jensburg a few days ago. He’s really gone on business.”
Shiloh’s brothers exchanged glances again.
The eldest spoke up. “We’re in. Our families both hate Kathryn. I don’t want to see her gaining power and living better than us. But what you’re asking us to do is illegal. We’re risking our lives for this. So let’s talk about compensation.”
Marco went silent for a moment, then met his gaze. “How much do you want?”
Shiloh’s eldest brother held up two fingers.
Marco nodded. “Two million? Fine. Each of you gets one million now, and after the job is done, we’ll give you another two million. That means you each walk away with two million.”
For rural men like them, two million was a fortune.
Even though they had built houses in their village and furnished them well, their current income was unstable. With two million in hand, they could live comfortably back home.
But then, Shiloh’s eldest brother smirked.
“It’s 20 million. Ten million each.”
Marco’s expression darkened.
They weren’t going to settle for a measly two million. If Marco thought he could buy them off that easily, he was dreaming.
Married At First Sight Chapter 4127
Chapter 4127
20 million!
Now, it was Marco and his brothers’ turn to be stunned. They exchanged uneasy glances, caught off guard by the demand.
They hadn’t expected the other party to ask for such an astronomical amount—twenty million.
Technically, they could afford it, but they had no intention of handing over that much. Twenty million wasn’t a trivial sum, especially given their current situation.
For Marco, personally coughing up twenty million was unsettling. Compared to the average person, he was well-off, but most of his wealth was tied up in assets. His liquid savings barely reached tens of millions. Handing over twenty million in one go? That was out of the question.
After a brief, silent exchange with his brothers, Marco finally spoke. “That’s too much. We don’t have that kind of money. Sure, you see us as rich, but it’s not what it looks like. Our wealth isn’t as substantial as you think.”
“You know how the Farrell family operates—daughters inherit everything. As sons, we don’t even carry the Farrell name, let alone have any claim to the family fortune. When our mother was alive, she supported us privately so we could live comfortably. But now that she’s gone, Kathryn has taken over everything. The three of us barely get anything.
“Yes, we still work for the Farrell Group, but our annual salary is under a million. And soon, it’ll be even less. Liberty is now in charge—she sees us as enemies. Do you think she’ll let us stay in the company forever? Sooner or later, we’ll be out, and when that happens, even our current salaries will disappear.
“We’re middle-aged. Finding new jobs won’t be easy. There are already countless college graduates struggling to find work—how much harder do you think it is for people like us? No job means no income. We’ll have to survive on our savings, which aren’t as much as people assume. We’re already dipping into them just to get by.”
Shiloh’s two older brothers nodded in agreement as Marco vented his frustrations.
Noel chimed in, “We have families to support—wives, kids. Our children are still in school, and education isn’t cheap. The competition is brutal, and it drains both money and energy. The financial pressure is overwhelming.”
Sage added, “Mom only covered our house down payments. The rest—the mortgages, the car loans, the kids’ tuition, and even supporting the elderly—all fall on us. Sure, our monthly income is higher than the average person’s, but so are our expenses. After paying for everything, we barely have three to five thousand left at the end of the month.
“And even that gets eaten up when we go out with friends. Ever since Mom passed, our so-called friends don’t even want to invite us to dinner anymore—because we split the bill. They think we’re stingy. It’s not that we don’t want to treat them, but honestly, we just can’t afford it.”
After a brief silence, Marco spoke again, this time more cautiously. “So… what’s the lowest you’re willing to accept? Two million? Honestly, that’s too little. A million per person won’t last long in the countryside. If we use it to start a small business, it won’t even be enough for startup costs.”
They didn’t need twenty million, but they sure as hell weren’t settling for just two.
With inflation, money lost value too fast. When they didn’t have a million, a million sounded like a fortune. But once they actually had it in their hands, they realized how little it could really do.
Building a modest three-story house in the countryside? That alone would eat up an entire million—just for construction and basic furnishing.
Married At First Sight Chapter 4128
Chapter 4128
If they wanted to invest in a business, a million wouldn’t last long.
Even buying a decent car would cost hundreds of thousands. And if they just put it in the bank, the interest rates were getting lower and lower. A standard savings account would barely yield $10,000 or $20,000 a year—if that.
So to them, a million per person wasn’t much.
It wasn’t nearly enough to satisfy their appetite.
After all, the Janzen brothers weren’t asking them to do something simple—they wanted them to break the law, to hurt someone. If they got caught and investigated, they’d have to pay the price. Maybe even serve a few years in prison.
Losing their freedom for a million dollars? Not worth it.
Marco spoke up. “Mr. Janzen, sure, we hate Kathryn. But we live out in the countryside, far from Jensburg and far from her. As long as we don’t provoke her, she won’t bother with us. Our lives are still peaceful. The economy might not be great, but at least we have food on the table, a roof over our heads, and, most importantly, our freedom.
“You’re the ones desperate to get rid of her. If Kathryn stays in power, your interests take the biggest hit. That’s why you’re willing to pay us. But think about it—if you just accepted your fate, resigned, sold your assets, and left Jensburg, you could live just as comfortably as us. You wouldn’t have to worry about Kathryn coming after you, and you wouldn’t have to pay us anything or get your hands dirty.”
The offer had to be worth the risk.
Shiloh’s eldest brother was willing to negotiate, but if the payout was less than three million each, he wasn’t interested.
He understood who had the most to lose if Kathryn remained in power.
Yes, they hated Kathryn, and she hated them too, but she wasn’t out to kill them.
Deep down, they wished she would just disappear, but taking action themselves? That was a whole different story.
The Janzen brothers were the ones feeling the heat.
If they couldn’t settle on a fair price, then Marco and his brothers could just walk away and keep making a living the hard way.
They still had a few acres of farmland. As long as they were willing to work, they wouldn’t starve.
No need to take a massive risk for just a million.
Sage broke the silence. “Brother, we haven’t eaten yet. Let’s grab a meal and talk this over while we eat.”
He then turned to Shiloh’s brothers. “Look, we all want the same thing. Let’s take our time discussing the payment. But first, let’s eat.”
Marco nodded. “Yeah, let’s eat.”
He stood up, and his younger brothers followed.
Shiloh’s two brothers didn’t refuse. They had traveled from their hometown early in the morning, changing vehicles multiple times to get there. It had taken hours, and they hadn’t even had time to eat. By now, their stomachs were growling.
They needed food before they could think clearly.
The five of them headed into the restaurant. Since they were discussing something sensitive, they didn’t let the nanny join them.
She had already prepared lunch, so they helped themselves to the food.
Soon, the five of them were seated at the table.
Everyone was starving, so for the first ten minutes, they ate in silence.
Once they were about seventy percent full, Marco finally spoke.
“If two million isn’t enough, we’ll increase the offer. Three million each—five million total. That’s two and a half million per person.
“That’s a lot of money. Most people won’t make that in a lifetime. And for you, it’s pure profit—you won’t owe anyone a cent.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 4129
Chapter 4129
Shiloh’s eldest brother said, “Add another million—six million in total. My brother and I will split it, three million each. We’re not doing this for anything less.”
“After all, we’re helping you solve a problem. The profit you’ll make from this will be ten, maybe dozens of times more than what you’re paying us. And let’s be clear—it’s you who wants Kathryn dead, not us. If we go through with this, we’re the ones risking jail time. Three million each is the only way we’ll consider it.”
Shiloh’s second brother chimed in, “Exactly. We may be poor, but our lives still matter. You expect us to do your dirty work, but you don’t want to pay us? That’s not how this works.”
Marco grabbed a bottle of fine wine and poured himself a glass before addressing the brothers. “We’ve got to drive later, so we won’t drink with you. But this is from my private collection—very expensive. If you like it, take it with you and enjoy it later.”
He continued, “Six million it is—three million each. But this stays between us. If word gets out, you keep your mouths shut until the grave. You don’t want to risk your life or end up in prison over this, do you?”
Shiloh’s eldest brother took a sip of the wine. It was indeed high quality.
“Of course, we’re not idiots,” he assured. “Not even our mother or our wives will hear about this. Mr. Janzen, since we have a deal, let’s put it in writing. That way, we don’t have to chase you down if you refuse to pay after the job is done.”
He added, “Also, we need a two-million-dollar deposit upfront. That way, we can start moving according to your plan. And when you strategize, make sure to keep those Hunts occupied. If they catch wind of this and step in to help Kathryn, the whole thing could fall apart.”
Marco nodded in agreement. “You’re right. We’ll handle it. We’ll make sure Liberty and the others are distracted—maybe even get them out of Jensburg for a while.”
If Liberty and her group weren’t in Jensburg, even if Kathryn disappeared, no one would ask questions right away. They’d assume she was away on business.
Kathryn had only been back for two or three years and hadn’t built any real friendships. Sure, Hayden respected her, but she was too busy to keep tabs on Kathryn.
The Farrell family had cut ties with her long ago, ever since her mother passed.
By the time Liberty returned, Kathryn would already be fish food, and no one would be able to trace it back to them.
“The agreement stays off the table,” Marco said firmly. “Putting anything in writing would just leave evidence for the cops. We’ll keep this strictly verbal.”
He was willing to pay six million, but there was no way he’d sign a contract. A paper trail would be a direct line to prison.
Right now, everything was being discussed face-to-face—no messages, no WhatsApp conversations. That alone made it hard for law enforcement to track.
Even if the villa’s security guard saw Shiloh’s brothers getting into Marco’s car, so what?
If questioned, he could simply say that after Shiloh’s death, their mother had fallen ill, and the brothers—struggling financially—came to ask for money to help out.
Married At First Sight Chapter 4130
Chapter 4130
Shiloh’s two brothers exchanged glances. After a long moment of consideration, they finally agreed not to sign the agreement.
However, they insisted that Marco give them a two-million-dollar deposit upfront—in cash, not through a bank transfer. A transfer would leave a paper trail, making it easy to trace.
After all, they were dirt poor. If they suddenly received two million out of nowhere, even an idiot would suspect something shady was going on.
Marco set down his glass of juice and stood up. “Alright, I’ll get your deposit now.”
“Take your time,” one of them replied, continuing to eat.
Marco headed upstairs to retrieve the money.
Ever since their mother passed, he and his brothers had been wary of their sister freezing their bank accounts. Just in case, they had already withdrawn every last cent from the account that funded their monthly expenses.
Marco rarely touched that money anyway. To him, tens of thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—a month wasn’t enough to buy a decent watch.
Usually, he’d let the money pile up for a year or two before transferring it to another account or withdrawing it in cash. That cash made it easier to impress women—flashing stacks of bills had a way of attracting beautiful girls.
Few people could resist that kind of showy arrogance.
This time, he remembered withdrawing several million in cash and locking it in his safe.
When their mother was alive, they spent extravagantly—buying cars worth millions and paying in full, purchasing houses the same way.
Marco was used to burning through money like it was nothing. Spending millions felt as casual to him as spending a few hundred dollars did to the average person.
But that was then.
Now, he had to start rethinking his reckless spending.
Their mother was gone, and no one was around to cover for them anymore.
From now on, every dollar they spent would either come from their savings or be money they actually had to earn.
But since Marco and his brothers frequently skipped work out of spite, Kathryn and Liberty had started deducting their salaries. Some months, they were left with almost nothing.
How could they not resent them?
Liberty had powerful allies. Duncan was still by her side, which meant they couldn’t touch her. So, they had to go after Kathryn instead.
Everything went downhill the moment Kathryn returned.
She was the curse that had ruined their lives.
Until she was gone, they wouldn’t sleep peacefully.
Meanwhile, Shiloh’s brothers watched Marco head upstairs for the cash.
Rich people really are different, they thought. Who keeps that much money in their house?
Or had he already withdrawn it ahead of time, knowing he’d need to pay them off?
They hoped it was the former and instantly regretted asking for too little.
They should’ve demanded ten million.
Marco and his brothers were all wealthy—if each of them chipped in a little over three million, ten million wouldn’t be a problem.
But it was too late now.
They had already settled on six million.
If they tried to renegotiate, they might end up with nothing. Worse, they might anger Marco and his brothers—and that could cost them their lives.
The eldest brother, who had witnessed Shiloh’s death firsthand, knew just how ruthless they were.
No one in the Farrell family had a shred of humanity.
They were demons who wouldn’t hesitate to kill, leaving nothing behind—not even bones.
They had murdered their own sister without a second thought.
If Shiloh were still alive, their lives wouldn’t be this miserable.
The Farrells were to blame for everything.
Marco soon returned, dragging a suitcase downstairs.
Everyone emerged from the dining hall, full and satisfied.
Marco set the suitcase in front of Shiloh’s brothers and spoke in a low voice.
“There’s two million in cash inside. Check it now—so you don’t come back later claiming I shorted you.”
