NovelEnglishClarissa's body trembled as she realized that saving Kathryn was the key to keeping their family's future secure.
Holden pointed to Kathryn as she walked toward them and said, "Look, isn't that our daughter? And that's Mr. Fraser, the assistant you arranged for her. The one inside must be fake. There's no Mr. Fraser with her in there. I wondered why I hadn't seen him all day." He felt deceived. The fake Kathryn had acted so convincingly that even he, her father, didn't notice.

No matter the outcome, I'll stand by your side. Don't try to sendaway again I won't leave. 'Escape' isn't in my vocabulary." Clarissa was so furious that her face turned pale. She raised her hand as if to slap Kathryn, but when Kathryn didn't flinch, she froze, leaving her hand in midair. "You... you really are my stubborn daughter!" Clarissa said through gritted teeth. "Why did I give birth to someone like you? You'll driveto an early grave, cutting years off my life!" Kathryn had closed her eyes, bracing for the slap that never came. When she opened them, she said calmly, "Mom, I know you're doing this for me, but I can't accept it. We have to face the consequences, whatever they may be. If we're wrong, we should own up to it. If we've been wronged, we need to clear our names. Running away won't solve anything." Clarissa was speechless. Furious, she stormed back into the house, walking upstairs to her study and locking the door.
Holden finally realized that the Kathryn inside was indeed fake a stand-in Clarissa had arranged to protect their real daughter. Clarissa had gone to great lengths to save Kathryn, even deceiving her own family.
The revelation left Holden feeling cold.

Without warning, Holden slapped Marco, then did the sto his other two sons, leaving them stunned. Afterward, he yelled, "Get out! All of you, get out of this mansion! I don't want to see you tonight, or I'll cut you off completely!" Marco and his brothers stood there, shocked and confused, not understanding why they were being punished. Kathryn, still calm, said, "Dad, if you're afraid, take my brothers and leave. This is the Farrell family's issue, a feud between two generations. You don't carry the Farrell name, so you don't need to be involved. No one will blyou for walking away." As Kathryn moved to enter the house, the butler rushed over and stopped her.
