Chapter 4099
Taking a life means paying with your own. The targets for their plan were Kathryn and Liberty. If they proceeded, they would likely be caught within two days, leading to a verdict from the law—the death penalty. What would be the point of that? All they desired was everything the Farrell family possessed. However, if they received a death sentence, everything they coveted would simply pass to someone else.
Sage stated, “Brother, taking a life means paying the ultimate price. If we go that far, we won’t escape either. What’s the purpose?”
Noel replied, “What if our plan fails and we end up dead ourselves? They have numerous supporters and influential connections. Killing them might not be as straightforward as we believe.”
Marco chimed in, “Mom managed to do it. We are her sons, raised with everything she had. Are we really saying we can’t measure up to her?”
Sage quietly responded, “We aren’t as capable as Mom. To be honest, we’re not even as good as Kathryn.”
Marco shot an angry look at Sage, feeling that he was undermining their confidence and strengthening the enemy’s resolve.
Finally, Holden spoke up with authority. “Marco, Sage is correct. Your failure to kill them was due to bad luck. Even if you had succeeded in eliminating them, do you think that would be the end? Wiltspoon has many who could take their place.
“Do you have the ability to eliminate them all? Can you ensure that there are no mistakes and that no one finds out? There are countless women in the Farrell family’s side branches. It will never be your turn.”
Holden paused, allowing his words to resonate before continuing.
“Stop mentioning your mother. She was the sister of the family head, trusted due to her upbringing. Additionally, the head’s declining health provided…
her the opportunity to devise and gradually implement her schemes. “Even so, decades later, the truth emerged. She died in disgrace. Your branch has lost the support of the Farrell family. Even if you manage to seize power, you will never achieve full legitimacy or the backing of everyone. This will only hasten your downfall.
“My advice? Stop being stubborn. Abandon everything here in the city. Return to your hometown and start anew. It’s thriving now.
“Sell all your properties here—your houses, your shops. Take what little inheritance your mother left you and go back. Purchase a few villas, perhaps some buildings and stores. Live off the rental income. You will be much better off than most people.”
Holden’s expression hardened as he made his final point. “Consider your mother. Despite her power and ruthlessness, what was her end? And you? You can’t even manage Kathryn, let alone Liberty, who is backed by several powerful families. Those individuals are untouchable. Dr. Carden alone is enough to keep your mother in check. You three stand no chance against Liberty, much less replacing her.”
Holden’s tone softened as he continued, “Marco, listen to me. In this world, the one person who truly loves you and wants the best for you is me—your father.
“If you still can’t let it go, then hide. Wait for the right moment. As the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold.”
Marco’s face turned pale. He was desperate to eliminate those people, but his father’s words felt like a cold bucket of water, dousing his fire. The plan seemed unattainable.
“Dad, in ten years, Liberty will have firmly established herself,” Marco said, his voice heavy with despair. “I just can’t accept this. Why? Why should we surrender everything to Liberty?”
“Damn Kathryn!” Marco’s frustration boiled over. “Dad, if we—
“We can’t take down Liberty, so we’ll eliminate Kathryn. This is all her doing! She’s the one who is ungrateful. If it weren’t for her, Mom might still be alive. She’s nothing but a traitor!”
