Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

After Clarissa ended the call, Kathryn turned to Holden and Marco. “I told Mom. You can go home now,” she said.

Holden and his sons had overheard Kathryn’s conversation with her mother. Feeling uneasy, they suspected Clarissa wanted Kathryn to be kinder to her brothers. But Kathryn was not inclined to listen.

Marco and the others, who already harbored no brotherly affection for Kathryn, only grew more resentful of her. If the Farrell family weren’t in such a critical situation, they might have tried to eliminate Kathryn. However, doing so now would only benefit Wancheng, and they weren’t in a position to act anyway. They preferred to hide behind Clarissa, exploit the Farrell Group, and pursue their own selfish interests.

“Kathryn, it seems you’re doing better now. Since Marco and the others don’t need to take care of you, please take care of yourself. Your brothers and I will leave now. Call us if you need anything. Remember, I’m your father, and they are your brothers. We are family,” Holden said calmly before standing up. He then addressed his three sons, “It’s getting late. Let’s go so we don’t disturb Kathryn’s rest.”

“Marco, Kathryn has already eaten, so take the lunch box back. It’s taking up space here. Kathryn, we’ll leave the fruit. If you don’t like the bouquet, feel free to toss it.”
