Chapter 3374
-Kathryn understood that this was a situation she could not escape. Even if she refrained from engaging in the Farrell family’s struggles, she would still encounter intrigue and deception in her business dealings. In the corporate world, honesty is a rarity. No businessman can claim to be entirely honest. After starting her own business, Kathryn worked diligently to reach her current position, fighting her way out of a cutthroat industry. Many small factories and companies could not compete with her, leading to a decline in orders and their eventual closure. This world has always favored the fittest and strongest. Pedro remarked, “I will go and inquire further. If Mrs. Stone truly finds the assistant, I believe she will approach us soon.” The previous head of the family was indeed murdered by the current head. How could Audrey not seek revenge for her parents? Several decades may pass, and Clarissa might escape a death sentence, but her role as the head of the family would certainly be jeopardized. Clarissa could forget about reclaiming that position; Audrey might even take her life. Considering this, Pedro advised, “Miss, should we consider a retreat? I fear that Mrs. Stone and the eldest daughter of the York family may retaliate and eliminate everyone.

He was her partner in life and would remain her spirit in death. If she left Jensburg and distanced herself from the Farrell family, she would no longer be bound by their rules. Perhaps they could develop a healthy relationship, marry, have children, and lead a simple yet joyful life. With their skills, they could establish themselves outside of Jensburg and away from the Farrell family. Deep down, Pedro hoped Kathryn would leave the Farrell family, but he couldn’t voice this selfish desire. He loved her, and when you’re in love, you want to share your life with that person as a normal couple.
Kathryn stated, “You go ahead and do your work. I’m going to see Liberty. I don’t want her to wait too long. It’ll be dark soon.” In winter, days are short, and nights are long. The drive from the center of Jensburg City to her company took several minutes, and it was already dark by the time she returned. “Okay, Miss, drive carefully.

I’ll be fine on my own.” In Jensburg, she felt no fear of anything happening to her.
