Chapter 3368
Marco quickly apologized, saying, “Mom, I’m sorry; it’s my fault; I was just too blunt.”
He felt sympathy for Holden.
Since childhood, he had observed Holden’s humility in front of Clarissa.
Men relate to other men.
If his wife treated him the same way his mother treated his father, he wouldn’t be able to accept it.
“Help your sister more at the company; Kathryn is your real sister!”
Clarissa was too disinterested to engage with Marco.
After speaking to him, she added, “If there’s nothing else, please hang up.”
Marco replied, “Mom, I will help Kathryn. There’s nothing else, so go ahead.”
Clarissa ended the call.
Marco felt a wave of relief wash over him once his mother hung up. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that had formed on his forehead. After impulsively confronting his mother, he found himself drenched in anxiety.
The cold sweat was a clear indication of his fear.
Kathryn handed him a tissue.
Marco set down his phone, accepted the tissue from Kathryn, wiped his brow, and said, “I was terrified just now; I can’t believe I actually said that.”

Kathryn teased, “Brother, you ate so many jars of food that it gave you the courage to speak up.”
Marco shot her an annoyed look and replied, “It’s all your fault. You were talking to Mom on the phone; why did you pass it to me? I’m scared of her now, like a mouse facing a cat.”
Kathryn responded, “Didn’t you ask when Mom would be back? I didn’t know, and when she called, it was the perfect opportunity for you to ask and get the answer directly instead of asking me.”
You are…
You’re afraid of Mom, but that’s because you’ve made a mistake that has disappointed her. Not only is Mom upset, but my sister-in-law is also extremely disappointed in you. You single-handedly ruined a good marriage. Men like you just can’t seem to manage their lives. You don’t truly want a fulfilling life; instead, you prefer to lead a chaotic existence, wanting to have it all without making sacrifices.
Marco’s expression darkened. “Kathryn, remember that I am your elder brother; could you be a bit more respectful? You should find a man who can control his desires in the future; otherwise, well…”
He left his statement hanging.
Kathryn replied coolly, “If my man dares to betray me, I will leave him immediately, divorce him, and kick him out. Even if he offers to castrate himself, I won’t give him a chance! My marriage can’t tolerate any betrayal!”
Marco was speechless. As expected from the biological daughter of the Farrell family, she shared the same fierce character as Clarissa. She was ruthless!
He couldn’t help but feel sympathy for whoever would end up marrying Kathryn.
He had no idea which unfortunate soul would end up with such a fierce woman. “You can only find a man weaker than our father, someone who can tolerate you,” Marco suggested.
Kathryn’s expression darkened. She wasn’t interested in men like Holden.
“The blind date Dad arranged for you last time was quite suitable for your status. If not, I can help you arrange another one. You’re not getting any younger. By my age, your nephew was already a few years old.”
Kathryn replied, “I don’t want a weak and incompetent man. I’d rather remain single than be with someone like that.”
She wasn’t a mother; she wouldn’t just bring a man home for the sake of having a daughter.
“But you need a daughter as your successor. Otherwise, are you going to adopt your niece and train her to be your successor in the future?”
Marco suddenly realized that this approach was viable.
