Marco frowned. “Are you implying that I don’t do real work? Kathryn, when I started at the Farrell Group, you were still figuring things out.”
Kathryn smiled. “You’re right, big brother. You joined the Farrell Group early on. But tell me, what exactly have you achieved? Can you honestly say that your successes were solely due to your own efforts? You know better than anyone how those accomplishments came about. Let’s not pretend otherwise. I’ve been with the Farrells for a short time, yet look at where I am now. I’ll be clear, brother—if you want to succeed, you need to work hard and take it seriously. Stop trying to take credit for what others have achieved.”
Marco’s expression darkened. “I mentioned a few things, and you shot back at me multiple times. Can’t you show me some respect? I deserve dignity too.”
“Brother, just get back to work. I need to prepare to head out myself.” Kathryn had little patience for further debate.
Marco remained silent for a moment, then grabbed the folder, stood up, and gave Kathryn a long, searching look. His lips moved slightly, but ultimately, he said nothing.
Kathryn observed him closely, taking note of every flicker of emotion on his face.
When he finally turned to leave without another word, she hesitated before calling out, “Big brother.”
Marco stopped and turned back. “What is it?”
“Even though Mom is gone, we are still siblings. We’re family for life. Mom would have wanted the four of us to stick together, even in the afterlife. Don’t you think? When the Qingming Festival comes, we should all go burn incense for her. The clan resents Mom and likely won’t honor her memory.”
Clarissa had led the family for decades, but she had made too many enemies. The clan had long held grudges.
against her, and her death was far from honorable. Kathryn had no illusions—when Qingming arrived, she doubted any clan members would pay their respects to their mother. Marco pressed his lips together. “We want to get along with you, but you never take us seriously. You always side with outsiders, never considering our future. There’s an opportunity to fight for power, yet you act selflessly and hand everything over. Do you really think they’ll appreciate your generosity?” Upon hearing this, Kathryn sighed. She and her brother had different perspectives, and further argument seemed pointless. With a calm expression, she averted her gaze. “Brother, just go back to work.” Since their mother’s passing, every decision Kathryn had made was for the benefit of herself and her three brothers—to secure a future for all of them. But they didn’t see it that way. They didn’t understand; all they knew was that she was giving things away. They never considered the bigger picture, nor did they recognize her sacrifices or efforts. Referring to him as “brother” had been her last attempt to connect, to remind him of their bond and to prevent him from repeating the same mistakes. It was her final effort to maintain their sibling relationship. But it was in vain. Her eldest brother was too stubborn. It was time to sever ties. Marco left Kathryn’s office and returned to his own. He poured himself a cup of warm water and sat down at his desk. As he took a sip, he pulled out his phone and dialed Shiloh’s eldest brother. When the call connected, he lowered his voice. “Stick to the plan. Kathryn will be at the Fortress Hotel later for a business meeting and dinner. Make sure everything is ready.”
