“Mom, who is your old friend?” Kathryn asked curiously.
Matriarch Farrell did not tell her but just said, “It’s just my old friend. Don’t ask so many questions. When I’m not at home, you can take care of the company and handle the affairs of the clan. If anyone doesn’t listen to your arrangements, remember to wait until I come back to deal with them. It would be better if you could handle it well. After all, I’m getting older and need to slowly let go and let you get the hang of it. You can’t rely on me all your life.”
Kathryn said, “Mom, I know you can go out without worries. It’s not the first time that you have traveled far away. Last time, you went to Wiltspoon for more than half a month, and I did a good job at home.”
Kathryn felt more at ease when Matriarch Farrell was not at home, and those people had no way to use Matriarch Farrell to suppress her. She could do whatever she wanted.
Matriarch Farrell said, “Well, I believe you. It’s very late. Go upstairs and rest. I will watch TV for a while and then catch up on my sleep.”
Kathryn hummed, said good night to Matriarch Farrell, then got up and went upstairs.
After Kathryn went upstairs, Matriarch Farrell raised her hand and pulled out a necklace that she had worn all year. There was a pendant in the middle of the necklace. There was a small photo hidden in the pendant. The small photo was of the previous assistant to the head of the family when he was young.
It was Matriarch Farrell who secretly photographed him before. After posting it, she cut it into small pieces and hid it in her necklace pendant.
It is said that the first love is the most unforgettable.
She and he couldn’t be said to be their first love because he had never loved her and only treated her as a little doll or a second lady.
In his eyes, her eldest sister was the woman that he loved most.
For the sake of her eldest sister, she believes he will never marry.
“No matter which corner you hide in, as long as you are still alive, I will dig you out.” Matriarch Farrell murmured.
This was the first and only man Matriarch Farrell fell in love with. Even after decades, he had a place deep in her heart.
She married Holden because she needed a husband and children so that the power she had finally won could continue.
