Chapter 3383
-When it came to giving money to their elderly father, Marco and his two brothers smiled, changed the subject, and then surrounded him as they returned inside the house.
After the last lesson, how could they dare to give money to their father in secret?
Whatever their father needed could be purchased, yet they truly hesitated to give him money.
A few hundred dollars was manageable, but they couldn’t do that every day. If they gave him money daily, Holden could save it and accumulate tens of thousands of dollars in a month.
Tens of thousands of dollars may not seem significant to them, but for Holden, who is under strict supervision and always short on cash, it represents a substantial amount that could allow him to do many things. What if he used the money they provided to disappoint their elderly mother?
They didn’t dare consider the consequences.
Holden was aware of his sons’ thoughts. His expression darkened, revealing his sadness.
Once in his room, Holden walked directly to the sofa and sat down. He picked up a pack of cigarettes from the coffee table, took one out, lit it, and leaned back, smoking in silence.
He felt like a failure as a human being. As a husband, he was unable to control his wife and was instead controlled by her. As a father, he couldn’t fulfill his role or manage his children.
In the Farrell family mansion, he appeared to be the master, but in reality, he was even less significant than the butler.
His children held higher status than he did. Even his young grandson ranked above him.
Clarissa had no genuine feelings for him; her affections were reserved for her children and grandchildren.
Whoever she favored would become the true master.

Holden sometimes regretted becoming Clarissa’s son-in-law for the sake of money, thinking it would bring him freedom and ease. However, he soon realized the consequences. The Janzen family benefited greatly from the Farrell family, leaving him hesitant to act rashly for fear that Clarissa might retaliate against them.
Holden had siblings, and his three sons also carried the Janzen surname, making them part of the family. Whenever the siblings gathered, they would remind him not to upset Clarissa and to keep her happy, so their family’s wealth could endure.
“Dad, it’s not that we don’t want to give you money; it’s just that Mom is too strict. She can easily track our spending,” said one son.
“Exactly, Dad. It’s not that we’re being unfilial; it’s just that Mom makes things difficult,” added another.
“Just tell us what you need, and we’ll get it for you. Isn’t that the same?” a third son chimed in.
After Marco and his brothers delivered the items to the servants and asked them to prepare the hot pot, they gathered around their father, trying to cheer him up.
“Can’t you spare me a few hundred dollars? Your mom usually gives me $500 a day,” Holden said, frustrated. “Is she so strict that she can’t allow you to give me a few hundred? It’s not like I’m asking for a million.”
Holden was well aware that Clarissa was monitoring him closely.
“You guys should give me a few hundred dollars daily so I can buy cigarettes. I need to go out and socialize; it’s embarrassing to be broke all the time,” he insisted.
While Holden could no longer pursue women, he could still invite old friends out for parties and drinks. Clarissa didn’t mind him enjoying food and drink.
At that time, the couple was apart; would Clarissa still have feelings for him? Holden suspected that Clarissa was embarking on a lengthy journey for the man she genuinely loved. He was already aware that Clarissa had someone special in her life.
