Chapter 3766
The three brothers appeared dejected. Kathryn could see from their expressions that they hadn’t absorbed a single word she had said. They lacked the same resolve as Kathryn to return the Farrell family’s wealth to her aunt’s descendants. Perhaps this was due to Kathryn’s limited time spent with the Farrell family; she had only lived with them for a few years, and her relatives had not treated her kindly. This made it easier for her to relinquish what was never truly hers.
However, her brothers were different.
They had been raised within the Farrell family, enjoying all the wealth and privilege that came from being the family’s sons, even though the tradition favored passing down wealth to daughters. Thanks to their mother’s position as head of the family, they still received a substantial inheritance. They had lived in a world of affluence and status for decades.
Letting go of everything they had known was far too difficult for them. They were neither ready to accept this reality nor willing to do so.
Kathryn sighed and said, “Eldest brother, you are older than the others and understand the situation better. Please consider it carefully. Once you realize what is best, try to persuade our younger brothers. We cannot compete against our cousins. Our side has lost all support and trust within the family.
In this scenario, it would be wiser to step back and relinquish everything that rightfully belongs to our cousins. This may alleviate some tension and help us regain trust from the family. At the very least, it will demonstrate that we are not repeating our mother’s mistakes. We must confront reality.”
Feeling parched from speaking, Kathryn stood up, poured herself a glass of water, and returned to her seat. Addressing her silent brothers, she said, “I’ve said all I can. You must do what you believe is right. I have many responsibilities to attend to. Please return to your work. And if…

“You’re not up to it. Take some time off and help care for Dad at the hospital,” Kathryn said firmly. She then instructed her brothers to leave, adding, “Don’t do anything foolish. Even Mom, with all her intelligence and plans, couldn’t get her way, so how could you? Think of your children.

Dad isn’t reliable, and I’m not close to you. If you get into trouble, don’t expect me to raise your kids. I won’t do that.”

The three brothers were taken aback. They thought their sister was being harsh. Kathryn’s nieces and nephews were also her family, yet she seemed so unfeeling. However, they knew she meant every word. They exchanged glances, unsure of what to do if their own sister refused to listen.

“I’m taking time off,” Marco declared coldly. Without waiting for Kathryn’s response, he stood up and stormed out, his face dark with anger, as if he could strangle her.

Why did their mother have to bring Kathryn back into the family in the first place? Why couldn’t she have just kept Shiloh and left the past behind? If they hadn’t switched daughters and had allowed Shiloh to remain the successor, they wouldn’t have to endure this humiliation. Shiloh would have stood by their side, fighting to preserve everything their mother had built. Their mother had run the Farrell Group for decades—why couldn’t it be passed on as her legacy to them?
