Liberty’s voice remained steady, cutting through the tension in the room. “The role of head of the family should have gone to my aunt or my mother,” she stated, her gaze unwavering as she addressed Marco. “However, your mother ensured that never happened. She killed my mother, leaving both my aunt and my mother without a home, family, or hope. She took everything from them—their legacy, their parents, their relatives.
“Now,” Liberty continued, her tone sharp, “Clarissa has gone to my grandmother to atone for her sins. It’s time to rectify this situation. The Farrell family belongs to my grandmother’s bloodline, and it’s only right that her descendants reclaim what was taken. As her granddaughter, I will assume my rightful position as the new head of this family.”
Redirecting her attention to Marco, she didn’t hesitate to confront him. “And you, Mr. Jimenez—do you have an issue with that? If so, keep it to yourself. This matter concerns the Farrell family and does not involve the Jimenez family.”
Marco’s face paled at her cutting response, his growing resentment toward Kathryn and Liberty evident in his clenched fists.
His thoughts turned dark. Why couldn’t God have taken Kathryn instead?
Seething, Marco retorted, “How can this not be relevant? Kathryn is my sister, and Clarissa was my mother. Even if my mother is gone, I still have my sister. According to the Farrell family’s rules, my sister should inherit the position, not you, Liberty.
“You? Your mother wasn’t even the eldest daughter! And she’s been gone for years. If your aunt wanted to take over, fine—I wouldn’t object. But you, Liberty? I refuse to accept this. If anyone should inherit the Farrell family, it should be someone else.”

“There are many more qualified candidates in the family.” Liberty smiled calmly, a spark of confidence in her eyes. “Oh, you are aware of the family rules, aren’t you? Then you must also understand that only a descendant of the direct bloodline can take over the Farrell family. Tell me, Marco—are any of those ‘more qualified candidates’ actually from the direct lineage?”

“Currently, there are only three of us left—Kathryn, Serenity, and me. Kathryn has already made it clear that she won’t accept the position. That leaves me, the eldest among us. If not me, then who? You?”

Her words struck Marco like a hammer, leaving him momentarily speechless. However, he quickly regained his composure and turned to the elders in the room, desperation creeping into his voice. “Uncles, please say something! How does Liberty have the right to take over? What qualifies her?”

The senior managers of Farrell Group sat in silence. This was not their battle. They were employees, not members of the Farrell family, and their only concern was the company’s future. Whoever took charge would carry the Farrell name—it mattered little to them. They had been summoned to witness the transfer of power from Vice President Farrell to President Hunt and to get acquainted with Liberty.

The family elders, however, exchanged uncertain glances. Finally, the oldest among them spoke up, his voice embodying both tradition and pragmatism.

“According to the family rules,” he began, “when the head of the family steps down, her eldest daughter should inherit the position. If Kathryn refuses to take over, the role passes to the descendants of the previous head of the family. The previous head had two daughters—the younger one passed away years ago, and the elder one is still alive, though she is now too old to lead.”

“Fortunately, the family…”

She has three granddaughters, with Liberty being the eldest. If Miss Audrey declines the position, then Liberty is the rightful heir. There is no issue with her taking over.

The room fell silent as his words hung in the air. Resentment toward Clarissa had long simmered within the Farrell family. Although Clarissa had tried to mentor Kathryn after her return, her past misdeeds had left deep scars. Her ruthless actions and selfish ambitions had alienated even the most loyal family members.

While Kathryn was nothing like her mother, suspicion still lingered. Many feared that if Kathryn assumed power, she might emulate Clarissa, using her position to exact revenge and consolidate control.

In contrast, Liberty had quickly earned respect. Her actions and demeanor since arriving in Jensburg had been closely scrutinized by the Farrell family. Compared to Kathryn, Liberty was regarded as the safer, more trustworthy choice.

“Liberty is the best option,” the eldest uncle declared, his voice resolute. One by one, the other elders expressed their agreement. “Yes, we support Liberty’s leadership.”
