Chapter 3771
Holden said, “Marco, you’ve lived there your entire life. You know the place like the back of your hand. Just sneak in, leave the large items behind, and take your mother’s jewelry and her famous handbags. Even if you manage to grab just one of them, it will be worth a lot.”
Marco and his brothers nodded in agreement.
Marco replied, “Kathryn advised us to sell all our property, take our families, and leave Jensburg, or at least move out of the city. She said it’s the only way to ensure a peaceful life and protect what we have. Dad, should we listen to her?”
Holden paused for a moment before responding, “Considering the current situation, she is showing you the safest way out. The people in Wiltspoon may not attack you directly, but they’re clever and know how to set traps in business. They could ruin you financially in no time.
They’ll make you lose everything and accumulate debt. Here’s the plan: during the day, keep pressuring Kathryn to divide the family assets, and at night, sneak into the Farrell mansion to retrieve your mom’s jewelry. Also, list your house and shops for sale to see if anyone is interested.
We should find a new place to live as well. Once things settle down in Jensburg, we’ll relocate our entire family there, far away from Audrey and the others. And remember, keep a low profile. You’re no longer the young master of the Farrell family, and that place isn’t your home.”
“Additionally, you three need to split up. Don’t stay in one location. It’s safer that way.”
Noticing his sons’ hesitance, Holden added urgently, “Don’t be stubborn. Think about your mother. This isn’t the time to argue. We can’t fight them—they’re too powerful. We need to be smart and wait for the right moment.”
Kathryn’s advice is intended for your own benefit; she is likely doing this to protect herself as well. It’s important to know when to step back for your own survival and to keep the larger perspective in mind. Holden had to acknowledge that Kathryn was more level-headed than his sons. After the three brothers exchanged glances, Holden stated, “Let’s stick to the plan.”
At that moment, Marco’s phone rang; it was his wife calling. “Marco, when are you available? Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to finalize our divorce,” she said.
Marco replied, “Sure, I’ll head over now. I’ll be there in half an hour.” He understood that their relationship was irreparable and had resolved to proceed with the divorce. She inquired, “How will we divide our property?”
“We’ll split it evenly, and we’ll co-parent the kids. If you remarry, the kids will remain with me, and their last name will not change,” he responded.
