Clarissa trembled as she understood that saving Kathryn was essential for securing their family’s future. Holden pointed to Kathryn as she approached them and remarked, “Look, isn’t that our daughter? And there’s Mr. Fraser, the assistant you arranged for her. The person inside must be an imposter; Mr. Fraser isn’t with her. I wondered why I hadn’t seen him all day.” He felt deceived; the fake Kathryn had acted so convincingly that even he, her father, had failed to notice.
“Mom,” Kathryn said as she stood before Clarissa. “I told you, I’m your daughter, and I’ll face whatever comes alongside you. No matter the outcome, I’ll stand by your side. Don’t try to send me away again—I won’t leave. ‘Escape’ isn’t in my vocabulary.”
Clarissa, furious, turned pale. She raised her hand as if to slap Kathryn, but when Kathryn didn’t flinch, she froze, leaving her hand suspended in midair.
“You… you truly are my stubborn daughter!” Clarissa exclaimed through gritted teeth. “Why did I have to give birth to someone like you? You’re going to drive me to an early grave, cutting years off my life!”

“an early grave, cutting years off my life!”
Kathryn closed her eyes, bracing for the slap that never came. When she opened them, she spoke calmly, “Mom, I know you’re doing this for my sake, but I can’t accept it. We must face the consequences, whatever they may be. If we’re wrong, we should own up to it. If we’ve been wronged, we need to clear our names. Running away won’t solve anything.”
Clarissa was left speechless. Enraged, she stormed back into the house, headed upstairs to her study, and locked the door.
Holden finally realized that the Kathryn

Inside was indeed a fake—a stand-in that Clarissa had arranged to protect their real daughter. Clarissa had gone to great lengths to save Kathryn, even deceiving her own family. The revelation left Holden feeling cold.

“Dad, what’s going on with Mom? Who’s real and who’s fake?” Marco asked, confused.

Without warning, Holden slapped Marco, then did the same to his other two sons, leaving them stunned. Afterward, he yelled, “Get out! All of you, get out of this mansion! I don’t want to see you tonight, or I’ll cut you off completely!”

Marco and his brothers stood there, shocked and bewildered, unable to comprehend why they were being punished.

Kathryn, remaining calm, said, “Dad, if you’re afraid, take my brothers and leave. This is a Farrell family issue, a feud between two generations. You don’t carry the Farrell name, so you don’t need to be involved. No one will blame you for walking away.”

As Kathryn moved to enter the house, the butler rushed over and stopped her. “Miss, they’re here. Audrey and her people just arrived. There are so many cars—they’ve blocked the entire road.”
