Clarissa smiled and said, “That’s right. There’s no point in asking you; you can’t make that decision. How does Kathryn treat you? I see she trusts you a lot and treats you better than she treats me, her own mother. She’s closer to you. I’m her biological mother, yet there’s always a distance between us. She doesn’t trust me and keeps her guard up.”
Pedro replied, “Madam, everyone can see how the young lady treats me.”
What could he say?
Clarissa had asked him to chat, but it felt like she wanted to marry Kathryn to him.
But could Clarissa decide for Kathryn?
Moreover, Kathryn only planned to invite men into her life but not marry.
Unless Kathryn was no longer the Farrell family’s successor, she wouldn’t marry out.
Pedro thought about Clarissa’s recent actions and had an idea of what was going on in her mind, but he didn’t show it.
Not only were he and Kathryn watching, but Liberty was also watching.
In the end, who would prevail?
Pedro didn’t care. He only followed Kathryn’s orders and did whatever she asked.
Was Clarissa ready to lose so soon?
However, Pedro also felt that Clarissa would definitely lose. Of course, he didn’t dare say that. He was loyal to Kathryn, but Clarissa was still Kathryn’s mother.
Kathryn was still the successor of the Farrell family. Many members of the Farrell family were standing by, watching, and it seemed they wouldn’t help Clarissa. They might even hope Clarissa would lose.
Clarissa had come to power by overthrowing her sister and younger sister. Rumors like that had long circulated in the Farrell family, but no one dared discuss it openly.
Clarissa sighed inwardly, and when she looked at Pedro again, her gaze softened. She said to him, “Pedro, you’re the most capable person around Kathryn. You know the current situation better than anyone else. I have to pay for what I’ve done. I don’t regret it, but I’m not ready to accept it. I’m old, yet I still can’t escape it.
I only have Kathryn. Although she betrayed me and doesn’t share my views, she’s still my daughter, my flesh and blood. I need to plan for her future. If the Farrell family changes hands, you must take Kathryn far from Jensburg, hide your identities, and start anew.
With you by Kathryn’s side, I feel reassured. With your abilities, you and Kathryn can start over and create a new life, even in an unfamiliar place.”
Clarissa was entrusting Kathryn’s future to Pedro.
Now, she was glad she had contacted the base early to have someone arranged to follow Kathryn.
