Kathryn had been in the hospital recently and hadn't done anything. If anyone acted, it was Pedro, not her.
Clarissa asked, "You know I went to the cemetery, right? Did you tell Liberty? Also, the police cto the company and asked to see me. Did you betray me? How much do you know?" Kathryn replied, "Mom, I was in the hospital for days, too weak to get out of bed at first. Pedro had to helpwith everything. What could someone in my condition possibly do? I told you I didn't do anything recently. Do you believe me?" "I know you went to the cemetery. You weren't exactly subtle about it, bringing a group of bodyguards. There are also groundskeepers at the cemetery. Everyone else in the clan knew about it, so of course, I did too.

How could she have raised such an ungrateful daughter? She was so furious she couldn't even argue.
"If the police cto the company, you should be asking your three sons if they did anything illegal, not me. I wasn't given control of Farrell's illegal or questionable businesses. Farrell's has no shady dealings, let alone anything illegal." Clarissa glared at Kathryn. "You can say whatever you want, but don't you dare ruin Farrell's reputation. That company is for you and your daughter. If you destroy it, you'll only be hurting your own interests." Kathryn remained calm. "Mom, since you say Farrell's hasn't done anything illegal, then why are you so anxious and afraid? Even if your three sons did something illegal, let them be arrested. It won't affect you, except maybe Farrell's reputation." Clarissa was stunned.
She hadn't even asked her sons if they had done something illegal and gotten caught. Instead, she immediately suspected her daughter. Kathryn had Pedro by her side, and with her personality, she was unlikely to do anything illegal. But her sons were a different story.
They weren't the brightest, and if they did something illegal, they probably didn't cover their tracks well, making it easy for someone to report them.
As Clarissa thought about it, she calmed down. Perhaps she was just feeling guilty. When she heard the police had cto the company, her first thought was that her hidden gun had been discovered. Even her family didn't know about the gun, so how could outsiders? If Liberty had the means to find out, they wouldn't have waited this long to report her. They would've done so immediately, and she would've been arrested long ago.

"Kathryn, why won't you follow the path I've laid out for you? I'm doing this for your own good. I would never harm you.
I may be ruthless and not a good person, but my love for you issincere. I just want you to live a good life. If you ever have to leave Jensburg, take Pedro and never cback.
Consider these past two years with the Farrell family a dream. When you m wake up, you'll no longer be the Farrell family's successor. You'll be Kathryn Janzen, the daughter of the Janzen family."
Clarissa didn't love Holden, but they had been married for decades, m Kathryn was Holden's daughter, so if she didn't take the Farrell name, she would take the Janzen name. X
