Chapter 3373
Pedro paused for a moment before stating, “There’s a new discovery in Wiltspoon, but I haven’t figured out what it is yet. Let’s see if Ms. Hunt can provide you with some insight.” Kathryn replied, “It doesn’t matter if she reveals anything or not. After all, she and I are rivals. To be honest, I dare to trust her, but she can’t completely trust me. If she were to fully trust me, she wouldn’t be fit to take over the Farrell family.” Before the truth regarding her aunt and younger aunt’s deaths was uncovered, Kathryn wouldn’t return anything belonging to the Farrell family. She mentioned that if her mother indeed killed her aunts, she would collaborate with Liberty to return everything that belonged to her aunts’ descendants. She would then leave and not cause any trouble or pose a threat to Liberty’s succession. Conversely, if her aunts’ deaths were truly accidents, Liberty would need to compete with her fairly for the top position. If Liberty could outmaneuver or surpass her, Kathryn would accept defeat. Consequently, she would do something beneficial for Liberty and the Farrell family. However, Liberty could never trust her completely; she always remained cautious and skeptical. To Liberty, Kathryn was Clarissa’s daughter and likely the child of the murderer who killed her grandmother. Liberty might even be contemplating how to eliminate her in the future. How could she possibly trust her fully? Although she had a favorable impression of Kathryn and their interactions seemed amicable, their bond was superficial. Kathryn didn’t grow up in the Farrell family, so her values and behaviors were more aligned with normalcy. If she had been like Shiloh, she…
would have fought with Liberty endlessly. Pedro remarked, “Yes, the matriarch’s departure might be linked to the recent discovery made by the people in Wiltspoon.” Clarissa was searching for the assistant of the former head of the family, as the assistant had vanished following the head’s death. Initially, it was believed that the assistant had disappeared along with the two daughters of the family head. At that time, one of the daughters had been located, and the whereabouts of the other two were known, but the assistant’s location remained a mystery. Audrey was also trying to find her mother’s assistant. This indicated that when the incident occurred decades ago, the assistant did not take the two daughters away. He had left Jensburg on his own, and no one knew where he had gone. Why did he leave? There had been no news of him for decades. Was he deceased? Time had passed; Clarissa, who was in her twenties back then, was now nearing seventy-one. The former assistant had been approximately twenty years older than Clarissa, and she feared he may have passed away long ago. Even if he were still alive, he would be in his nineties or almost a hundred. At such an advanced age, was he still mentally sound? Kathryn asked quietly, “Are you saying that my aunt’s assistant has been found in Wiltspoon? Is he still alive? Do you have any confirmed information? Please ask around, but don’t alert my cousin; she’s not someone to be trifled with. Why did that assistant leave? He was the most loyal to my aunt. Why would he just abandon her after her unexpected death? Did he know something we don’t, or was he compelled to leave? If my cousin really finds someone and begins to inquire, is there any evidence to suggest that my mother killed my aunt?” As Kathryn spoke, her expression shifted slightly. She sensed that the truth might soon emerge. Her feelings were conflicted; she hoped her aunt’s
The deaths of her younger aunt and mother were deemed accidents. If her mother was responsible, how could she confront Liberty and the others? Why were there so many conflicts among people? Shouldn’t family members collaborate to ensure the family’s success? She found herself battling fiercely for a small amount of power and profit. It was undeniable that where there are people, there exists a realm of martial arts. It had been two years since Kathryn returned to her biological parents’ home, and she truly disliked the atmosphere within the Farrell family.
