Chapter 3844
“Plus, she has Pedro by her side. He’s talented in many ways, but above all, he’s loyal. He reminds me of those ancient warriors who would rather die than betray their masters,” Duncan remarked, clearly impressed. “I hope she and Pedro find happiness,” he continued. “I believe they will. The way Pedro looks at her shows total devotion.” Duncan’s eyes sparkled with certainty. “People who share similarities tend to stick together. The fact that they get along with us and share the same values indicates they’re cut from the same cloth. Pedro is going to be one of those men who dotes on his wife endlessly. He’ll likely become a devoted husband who eventually embraces a quiet life.”
Liberty chuckled softly, and Duncan, unable to resist, playfully pinched her cheek. “Why are you looking at me like that?” he laughed. “Am I wrong? Just look at the men around us—every single one treats their wives like queens. Josh practically worships his wife, and then there’s Zachary. He was once called ‘the Iron Tree’ because people thought he’d never open up. Cold and distant, always surrounded by bodyguards, no woman could get close to him.”
“But who would’ve thought that marriage would transform him into the ultimate husband who adores his wife? He’s completely smitten with Serenity. Now, people joke that crossing Zachary isn’t as risky as crossing Serenity,” he added with a laugh.
Liberty smiled. “Jasmine and Serenity are both living their best lives. I know Elisa will be just as happy. Even my cousin and his wife are doing great.”
It was true—everyone they knew in a relationship seemed genuinely happy. “We should also send New Year’s gifts to Uncle and Aunt Queen, as well as to a few of the…
prominent families in Jensburg. Although we may not have established close ties with them yet, it’s important for us to remain connected. We’ll be engaging with them more frequently in the future,” Liberty remarked thoughtfully. Even if she never assumed control of the Farrell Group, her presence in Jensburg necessitated maintaining connections with influential individuals. Thankfully, she had not offended anyone so far, so she aimed to nurture those relationships while the situation remained amicable.
Duncan’s voice was warm. “You decide what needs to be done. Wherever you go, I’ll be right there with you. You’re in charge now, and you’ll manage things at home the same way.”
Liberty returned to the sofa, glancing at the New Year’s gifts from Kathryn and the wedding presents for herself and Duncan. “We also need to prepare a wedding gift for Kathryn and Pedro. When they finally tie the knot, Kathryn may not be in Jensburg, and she might not reach out to us. I have a feeling she’ll want to move on and sever ties for good next year,” Liberty said, a hint of sadness in her voice. Kathryn had already made her decision.
“If it’s meant to be, we’ll cross paths again,” Duncan said calmly. “If not, we’ll go our separate ways. We’ll have time after the New Year to prepare their gift. There’s no need to rush.”
Liberty had taken over Farrell’s company, and Kathryn was dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition for her, so there was no immediate need for a gift. Liberty chose not to say more.
Meanwhile, Kathryn exited Liberty’s company and got into the car. “Let’s go to the hospital to see Mom,” she told Pedro. He remained silent as he pulled away from the parking lot.
There wasn’t an urgent need for a gift. Liberty had made her stance clear. Meanwhile, Kathryn left Liberty’s company and got into the car. “Let’s go to the hospital to see my dad,” she told Pedro. He remained silent as he exited the parking lot and drove toward the hospital. “You don’t like it when I visit my dad,” Kathryn remarked, more as a statement than a question.
Pedro sighed. “You and your father don’t share a real bond, and every visit ends in an argument. Each time you leave that hospital, you’re upset. I don’t want you going there. He has never shown you the love a father should.”
Holden had grown to despise Kathryn, his own daughter, viewing her as a cold and calculating version of Clarissa. Despite the wealth that Clarissa had left behind, Kathryn had secured a significant portion for herself, which only fueled Holden’s bitterness. He and his sons wished for Kathryn to disappear from their lives for good.
