Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3560

Clarissa spoke with a bitter smile, “Later, I realized Kathryn was only pretending to be weak. Every time Shiloh tried to frame her, Kathryn not only escaped but also managed to turn the tables, exposing Shiloh’s schemes. Little by little, I grew more disappointed in Shiloh, while Kathryn began to reveal her skills and courage in the company. I realized her true potential; she was born to do business and be a strong woman.

Once I understood her capabilities, I continued scolding her in the company for a while to maintain her cover. But as she learned more about the Farrell Group, I began to delegate power to her. By the time everyone realized it, they could no longer control her. After all, she is my daughter. I owe her so much—I never fed her or even held her. I must make up for that. No matter how she treats me, I will endure it. If it were anyone else, I would have taken their life the moment they betrayed me.”

Pedro remained silent, knowing that everything Clarissa said was true.

Clarissa continued, “Kathryn always said that if I made a mistake, I must bear the consequences. She believes that if something doesn’t belong to her, she won’t take it, even if offered. But if it does, no one can take it away. She’s not like me—cruel and indifferent to family ties. She has a conscience, a sense of morality, and values loyalty.

I can foresee my end. I don’t want her to witness my downfall and tragic death. We are mother and daughter, after all. Seeing me die horribly would only hurt her and damage her relationships with those in Wiltspoon. If I hadn’t had a feud with them, Kathryn would have gotten along well with them—they’re all similar in nature and admire each other.

Pedro, take Kathryn away from Jensburg in the next couple of days. Once you leave, don’t return. Let her forget about the Farrell family’s affairs.”

Clarissa could see her own defeat coming. She planned to take Audrey and Liberty with her, though whether she would succeed was uncertain. What if she died, but they survived?
