“If Mom hadn’t taken everything from our aunts, you wouldn’t have all this wealth now. You can do as you please with your personal assets, but when it comes to the rest, I’m in charge, and my decision is final. Not even if Mom came back to life could she change that, so neither can you.”
Kathryn looked at her three brothers and said, “I understand. I know you’re angry and frustrated, so if you need to vent and shout at me, go ahead. I can handle it, and I won’t hold it against you.
But don’t even think about returning to the Farrell family mansion to take antiques or valuable items to sell. Those things have been in the family for generations and are meant to remain there. No one has the right to sell them.
Even Mom knew better than to touch those items. So, don’t listen to Dad’s schemes about selling them. That would be stealing, and if your cousin calls the police, you’ll be in serious trouble.
Don’t expect me to bail you out, and you can’t rely on Dad either. He’s always been more interested in what he could gain from the Farrell family for the Janzen family than anything else.”
Kathryn believed that Holden had some feelings for Clarissa, but their marriage was far from genuine love. It was a deal filled with complications.
Clarissa’s heart belonged to someone else, Mr. Jimenez, long before she married Holden. Even after decades together, she never truly loved him. They stayed together mainly to have an heir.
However, she never allowed Holden to betray her, which made his life difficult. Still, it was his choice to marry her, so he had no one to blame. Clarissa didn’t force him into it.
Over the years, the Janzen family had benefited greatly from
their connection to the Farrell family. Without their support, they may not have achieved the success they enjoy today. Kathryn viewed her parents’ marriage as a business arrangement that just happened to last a lifetime.
“If you want to live a good life, take my advice: leave the Farrell Group, sell your current house, and move farther away from the company’s power center. The farther away, the better. Don’t pursue things that aren’t meant for you. With the rent and income from your properties, you can support yourself and your family even without a job. Embrace a simple life. Treat the wealth and status of the past few decades as just a dream. I’m sharing this because we’re family. Whether you heed my advice is your choice, but I won’t repeat it.”
She laid out a clear path for her brothers, leaving it up to them to decide if they would follow it.
“If you keep to yourselves and avoid trouble, Audrey and Liberty won’t come after you. You’ll lead a stable life as long as you don’t provoke them. But if you emulate Mom and always crave more, I won’t have to tell you what will happen—it won’t end well.”
Clarissa’s inability to let go and her insatiable desire for more ultimately led her to take her own life.
