Marco and his two brothers completed their work early. With no more overtime or social events to attend, their evenings were now entirely free.
As soon as Kathryn got into the car, her phone rang. It was Erika.
She answered the call.
“Sister-in-law,” Erika said.
“Erika, I’m no longer your sister-in-law. Please just call me sister,” Erika gently corrected her.
Kathryn quickly adjusted her response. “Sister, why are you calling so late? Can’t sleep? Are my nieces and nephews behaving? Now that school has started, they must be back in class, so you should have some time to relax.”
After the divorce, Erika had moved her children back to her parents’ house. However, during the New Year, she relocated with them to a townhouse she owned. It wasn’t as grand as the villa she once lived in, but at least it was her own home.
Kathryn had anticipated this move. In many cultures, divorced daughters are often not allowed to celebrate the New Year at their parents’ home. Even married daughters aren’t always welcomed back for the holiday, as old customs suggest it would bring bad luck to their brothers.
It wasn’t that Erika’s family treated her poorly. Before the divorce, their connection to the Farrell family had brought them numerous business advantages. Whenever Erika visited, her parents and brothers were always kind to her.
However, circumstances had changed. The Farrell family underwent a significant transformation, and Kathryn was no longer in line to inherit everything. Now, the two families were not just estranged in-laws; they had become almost adversaries.
Kathryn sighed internally, reflecting on how fickle people could be.
“Yes, now that school has started, things are much easier,” Erika said. “Kathryn, where are you? Have you made it home yet?”
“I had a business meeting this afternoon followed by dinner with a

“Client in the evening,” Kathryn replied. “No social events tonight, so I went shopping for a bit. I just got in the car and was about to head home.”

Hearing this, Erika’s voice turned urgent. “Kathryn, don’t go home. Go back to the company. No—actually, don’t stay at the company either. Go to the Fortress Hotel or any hotel owned by the Queen family. Just don’t go home, and don’t stay at the office alone.”

Kathryn frowned. Did Erika know something? “Sister, why? Did you hear something?”

“I didn’t hear much, but I visited Dad tonight, and something felt off,” Erika admitted. “He kept making phone calls behind my back. I overheard bits and pieces—it sounded like Marco was planning to kidnap you or something. I wasn’t sure, and I didn’t dare call you from his house, so I rushed out. I tried calling you earlier, but you were on the phone every time. When I couldn’t reach you, I thought you were still working late at the company. I even drove there, but the security guard said you hadn’t returned since the afternoon.”

Kathryn hesitated. “Sister, you must have misheard. My relationship with my eldest brother isn’t great, but he wouldn’t go that far. We’re still family. Why would he kidnap me? I was on the phone earlier handling work for tomorrow, which is why my line was busy.”

“Kathryn, you need to be careful,” Erika insisted. “After your mother passed, she left behind a huge fortune. Your brothers barely got anything. They might be desperate enough to kidnap you and force you to hand it over. Do you really think they wouldn’t? They’ve never treated you like their sister. Just listen to me—don’t go home.”

Kathryn remained silent for a moment. In truth, she had been waiting for tonight. She couldn’t back out now.
