Chapter 3460
“Goodbye, I won’t see you off!” Clive and Liberty exclaimed almost in unison.
As Clarissa approached the office door, she paused, turned her head, and shot a glare at Liberty, sneering, “Remember, this is Jensburg. Here, my Farrell family is still stronger than yours!”
Liberty smiled and replied, “I never claimed to be better than you. That would be a blow to your self-esteem. I’m new here, only having been in Jensburg for a few months. If the Farrell family can’t even match my standing, I might as well go bang my head against the wall. But if you feel the need to do that, please do it far away. Don’t mess up my space.”
Clarissa was so enraged that she felt like eliminating these two on the spot, yet she restrained herself. If a 70-year-old woman couldn’t tolerate this much, then she should just go bang her head against the wall.
With her head held high, Clarissa opened the office door, resembling a rooster that had just won a contest, unaware that she was merely a defeated rooster trying to save face.
“Matriarch Farrell,” the bodyguards quickly trailed behind her.
Jim brought someone along, not to bid farewell, but to keep an eye on them, ensuring that Clarissa and her group left without incident.
He wanted to confirm that they wouldn’t turn back or engage in any mischief within the company.
Liberty picked up her half-finished cup of coffee, took two sips, and remarked to Clive, “I need to learn from you, cousin.”
She still lacked Clive’s composure.
Clive replied gently, “Take your time. With more experience, you’ll become mature and steady. When I first entered society, I was still a young boy, easily angered and susceptible to falling into traps set by others. Each setback teaches a lesson. Life is filled with ups and downs, and you must endure many trials and tribulations.”
Liberty said, “When I first entered…
society, I felt like a Ninja Turtle. The challenges at work were intense, and the stakes were high. I tried to evade difficulties whenever possible, but if I couldn’t, I would endure them. The fear of losing my job loomed over me. At that time, we had exhausted our finances and needed to support Serenity’s education. Without a steady income, it would have been tough for Serenity and me to make ends meet. How could I even consider quitting my job, as others did, when I had such responsibilities? I had to keep pushing forward, no matter how strenuous it became. With time and experience, I planned to switch companies and gradually move up the career ladder. As my earnings increased, life would become much more manageable.”
Clive admired Liberty.
Regardless of their hardships, Liberty unwaveringly dedicated herself to nurturing her younger sister.
Serenity excelled in playing the piano, chess, poetry, and painting. She had also pursued martial arts and learned to weave small items—achievements made possible by Liberty’s support.
Without Liberty, Serenity would not be who she is today. Their bond was truly admirable.
As Serenity matured, she worked hard to repay Liberty’s sacrifices. She married quickly, hoping to safeguard Liberty’s marriage and alleviate any burdens.
Clive remarked, “Liberty, that’s all behind you now. Your and Serenity’s lives will only improve from here. My mother had been searching for both you and my aunt, but fate can be cruel. It took her so long to find you, and she never had the chance to say goodbye to her only sister.
My mother wept for a long time after learning that her sister, whom she had sought for decades, had passed away over ten years ago. In my
In my memory, my mother was a remarkably strong and competitive individual. She often stated that crying wouldn’t resolve problems, so she refrained from shedding tears. It was the first time I witnessed her cry so profoundly and heart-wrenchingly. No matter how hard we tried to console her, she wouldn’t be comforted.
They were all born into privilege, surrounded by supportive parents and family from a young age. They shared a deep affection for their siblings and could not comprehend the immense pain their mother experienced.
The sister Audrey had been searching for decades had long since passed away. With no chance to see her only sister again, Audrey redirected her love toward her two nieces.
When Audrey first met Serenity and Liberty, her affection for them was so immense that Clive and his two siblings found themselves sidelined.
