Jensburg – Fortress Hotel
In a private room at the Fortress Hotel, Kathryn and Liberty finalized their agreement before standing up to shake hands. Together, they escorted the client downstairs. Once the client got into the car and drove away, Kathryn turned to Liberty. “Liberty, it’s getting late. Mr. Lewis is still waiting for you inside. Go pick him up and head home early. The weather is freezing, and Mr. Lewis isn’t accustomed to Jensburg’s cold. Walking is already challenging for him—he shouldn’t be out in these conditions.”
Duncan had caught a cold three days after arriving. He had seen a doctor, taken medicine, and was still battling a lingering cough.
However, Liberty didn’t move. Instead, she asked Kathryn, “Are they making their move tonight?”
Kathryn shrugged. “How would I know? They’ll act when they feel ready. I just have to wait. But I think it’ll be soon. I’ve already spread the word that Pedro will be away on a business trip for half a month.”
She didn’t tell Liberty that her five brothers planned to strike that very night—she didn’t want to cause her any worry.
Liberty studied Kathryn for a long moment before suddenly reaching out and pinching her cheek. “Kathryn,” she said, “you can’t lie to me. When you do, your eyes wander, and you can’t maintain eye contact.”
Kathryn gently swatted Liberty’s hand away and smiled. “That’s called a guilty conscience. And Liberty, let’s not forget—I’m your aunt. Pinching my face like that? I’m not Sonny, you know.”
“Sure, you’re my aunt, but I’m only a few years younger than you,” Liberty retorted.
Kathryn’s smile faded slightly. “Do you think my life has been easy? I wasn’t raised in comfort. I was bullied, mistreated, and had to fight my way through everything.”

Compared to my situation, you had it better—you at least had your sister. I had no one. My adoptive parents and brother never treated me like family. No one ever did. Even after returning to my biological parents, only my mother truly accepted me; the rest of my family never regarded me as one of their own. Marco had even told me directly that I didn’t treat them like siblings, and they had never viewed me as a sister. From a young age, I learned a harsh truth: I couldn’t rely on anyone but myself.

For the first time, I experienced what it felt like to have someone to depend on. As the successor to the Farrell family, my mother assigned me an assistant, and with Pedro by my side, I finally felt a sense of security.

“It’s all in the past now,” Liberty said gently. “We have a future ahead of us. Kathryn, tell me—where do you think they’ll strike first?”

Before I could respond, Liberty took my arm and led me back inside, with two bodyguards following at a short distance. With the client gone, their secretary had already been sent home; the day’s work was done.

“Liberty, trust me,” I said instead of answering her question. “If you make any moves too soon, they’ll realize we’ve set a trap. And if they suspect anything, they won’t take the bait.”

Liberty was quiet for a moment before saying, “Promise me you’ll be safe. Not a single hair out of place.”

I chuckled. “That’s a tall order. How do you expect me to deal with them without taking a single hit?”

Liberty didn’t have an answer.

I had made one thing clear—if Marco and the others behaved, I wouldn’t go after them. At most, I’d demote them, cut their salaries, and keep them out of management. They didn’t deserve those high-paying positions anyway. But deep down, I knew…

She wasn’t optimistic. She knew her brothers too well; they weren’t the type to back down. Eventually, they would push things too far, and when they did, Liberty wouldn’t hold back. Their downfall was inevitable.
