Deep down, they resented her.
Having grown up in a difficult environment with little familial love, Kathryn did not expect kindness from her biological parents or brothers, nor did she feel much affection for them in return.
The bond between parents and children, as well as among siblings, requires nurturing.
Since she did not grow up with her parents or brothers, she did not form any emotional connections with them.
Even though she has been back with her biological parents for two years now, that period pales in comparison to the lifetime Shiloh spent growing up in the Farrell family.
When Shiloh was alive, her father and brothers treated Kathryn with superficial warmth, yet deep down, they harbored intense resentment, believing her return was the catalyst for Shiloh’s demise. In contrast, her three sisters-in-law maintained a much better relationship with her.
Kathryn’s eldest brother and his wife were adamant about divorcing, and no one could change their minds. The entire city was aware of it.
From a woman’s perspective, Kathryn supported her sister-in-law’s decision to divorce.
Marco not only cheated on Erika but also assisted Shiloh, a betrayal that no one could accept. Thus, Kathryn strongly backed Erika’s choice to end the marriage, but Marco blamed Kathryn for not helping to convince Erika otherwise.
Erika had returned to her parents’ house and was seeking a divorce since the couple could not separate amicably.
Marco was unwilling to
the divorce, it was not due to any strong feelings Marco had for Erika; rather, he was unwilling to divide their marital assets, leaving Erika with no choice but to initiate divorce proceedings. The deterioration of their relationship meant that the two families were on the verge of becoming adversaries.
Clarissa instructed Kathryn to visit Erika’s parents’ house to apologize on behalf of the Farrell family. Regardless of the situation, blame consistently fell on Marco.
When Kathryn arrived at Erika’s parents’ home, they refused to let her in. Erika even sent a message telling Kathryn to leave and forgo the apology.
Upon learning this, Clarissa decided she would prepare generous gifts to present to the in-laws upon Kathryn’s return. For the sake of the children, she believed it would be better for the families to avoid hostility, as it would be detrimental for the children to lose contact with their grandparents.
“Vice President, are you looking for Manager Janzen?” the secretary inquired.
Kathryn replied, “No, I was just asking. I need to step out for a while and am not sure when I’ll be back. Please assist me in adjusting my schedule.”
The secretary responded respectfully, and Kathryn left.
As the secretary watched her depart, he noted how much Kathryn had transformed into a capable CEO, a stark contrast to the seemingly weak and ineffective individual she had been when she first joined the company.
With the president (Clarissa) absent, the vice president (Kathryn) managed the company exceptionally well. Even long-time employees no longer viewed her the same way; perhaps they realized they would still be dependent on her in the future.
After all, Kathryn was the true daughter of the Farrell family.
That b*tch, Shiloh, was gone.
Although some individuals continued to support…
After her death, they quickly changed their minds.
The secretary thought of Kathryn as a pig in disguise. Although she was quite powerful, she portrayed herself as weak and ineffective. He felt no anger when Kathryn berated him for being useless.
Later, he recognized that Clarissa’s constant reprimands of Kathryn seemed somewhat performative. He truly believed that Kathryn was beyond redemption. How could Clarissa ever consider giving Kathryn more authority?
How could she dare to entrust the management of the company to Kathryn at any point?
Everyone had been deceived.
