Chapter 3370
Marco said, “Yes, this is significant. We need Mom’s consent. You are Mom’s biological daughter, and now you can be independent. When Mom retires, you will definitely take over as the head of the family. As for Liberty from Wiltspoon, even with the support of several prominent families, it doesn’t matter. Those families are based in Wiltspoon and only have some business dealings in Jensburg. Can they truly influence the Farrell family’s affairs?”
So what if she is a descendant of our aunt? Our aunt has been gone for decades, and it is our biological mother who currently leads the family. If you lack the ability, it makes sense to hand the family’s leadership back to our aunt’s descendants. However, now that you have the capability, how can you relinquish the headship?”
Does Liberty possess that capability? Just because she has established a company in Jensburg doesn’t mean anyone in the Farrell family knows her. When you first returned, the family didn’t take you seriously, let alone Liberty. Many family members are dissatisfied with Mom. Can they really change the situation?”
After saying this, Marco muttered, “Maybe Liberty is also a short-lived ghost, just like my aunt, who died in middle age.”
He sent people to confront Liberty, but unfortunately, they failed. Fearing further failure, he dispatched two cars, yet they still did not succeed.
Kathryn asked coldly, “What did Big Brother say? Did you really call Liberty a short-lived ghost? Can you read faces? Or have you been doing something behind our backs?”
Marco quickly replied, “No, who told you I did anything to Liberty? She always has a group of bodyguards with her when she comes and goes.”
“It’s difficult for me to even get close to her; how could I possibly do anything to her?” he thought.
He still felt a twinge of guilt and was concerned that Kathryn might discover the truth. If she grew suspicious, she could easily ask Pedro to check on him, and he knew that would lead to the truth being revealed.
His connections and influence paled in comparison to Kathryn’s at this point, primarily because Pedro had aligned himself with her.
Kathryn fixed her gaze on Marco, and he felt a pang of guilt under her steady stare. He wanted to leave but had to maintain the facade that nothing was amiss. He took the folder that Kathryn had signed and stamped, closed it, and said, “Kathryn, I’ll return to work now.”
“What are you planning to do? Hurry up and do it. I won’t hold you up,” Kathryn replied.
“Are you feeling guilty, brother? You seem like you’re trying to escape,” Kathryn teased Marco. “If you’ve done something behind my back, you’d better come clean. Otherwise, you could find yourself in serious trouble when someone uncovers the evidence. I won’t be able to help you. If you didn’t do anything, remember my words: don’t provoke Liberty. She’s not someone to take lightly.”
After warning Marco, Kathryn reclaimed her mobile phone and told him, “Go back to work.”
Marco cursed Kathryn inwardly countless times but managed to smile and respond, “What could I possibly do behind your back? I’m in my thirties or forties, not a kid. What trouble could I get into? I’ve never provoked that woman, Liberty. Knowing she has the backing of the three major families, why would I dare to provoke her?
Selfishly speaking, you should view Liberty as an opponent, if not an enemy, rather than us. After all, Liberty is vying for the position of head of the family, while you are the young lady of the Farrell family. If nothing…”
If something unexpected occurs, you will become the next head of the family.
You and I are in a competitive relationship. What does that have to do with me? Even if I want to assist you, I’m afraid I can’t. At present, in terms of resources, connections, and influence, I am not on par with you.
