Matriarch Farrell continued: “Your sister…is not living a very good life. I found out about her situation and felt very distressed. I’m useless. I have been looking for you for decades, and now I have found you. If I had found you long ago, your sister wouldn’t be in such a miserable state, and Liberty and Serenity would also have someone to support them.
Audrey, things were different a few decades ago than they are now. Think about it: Was it easy to communicate before? Was it convenient to travel? Was there such good technology, big data, and so much surveillance? Was there the Internet? None of it, so it’s very difficult to find people.”
Audrey didn’t say anything; she was just quietly watching the performance of Matriarch Farrell.
After Matriarch Farrell finished speaking, Audrey said calmly, “My mother is not dead. I am my mother’s eldest daughter. The position of head of the Farrell family will be passed on to me. It will not be your turn, let alone Shiloh’s. Oh, Shiloh is not a bloodline of our Farrell family, and she’s not capable, and your biological daughter has been replaced for more than 20 years without even knowing it.”
Matriarch Farrell’s face turned ugly.
She didn’t get angry at Audrey, but she regretted her original words: “When I gave birth to Kathryn, there was some turmoil in the family. I had no choice but to deal with the family affairs with my weak body just after giving birth. I ignored Kathryn, so she was taken advantage of by the former housekeeper.
In the past, babies were born at home. The former housekeeper had been a housekeeper for the Farrell family for many years. He had a bad idea and easily exchanged my daughter for his daughter. The newborn babies were all the same. After I finished processing, the turmoil was already a few days away.
When I saw the child again, I felt that the child seemed a little different. I thought it had been a few days, and the child was the same every day. It was normal for the child to be a little different, so I didn’t get suspicious. I never imagined that my former housekeeper would have such thoughts.
Audrey, it’s hard to be the head of a family. You have to worry about everything, inside and out. Yes, when my eldest sister was alive, she trained you as her successor. That was also the tacit agreement of everyone in the family.”
