Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 4004

"The Farrell family members aren't fools," Holden said, his tone dripping with bitterness. "They know how to assess the situation. Even if your sister doesn't willingly step aside, they'll make their move and back Liberty. They'll push her to take over as the head of the family."

Holden shook his head. "The major families in Wiltspoon are set on securing the Farrell family leadership. Whoever claims that position must align with their interests. Besides, Mr. Jimenez is still alive. Do you think he'll let it slide? He was Clarissa's eldest sister's assistant, and now he's determined to see justice done."

"Clarissa's crimes-murdering her own sisters to gain power-have come to light again. Do you really think the public, or the Farrell family for that matter, will allow her children to take over? It's out of the question." Marco slammed his fist against the armrest of his chair, his anger barely contained. "Dad, I refuse to accept this!"

His voice rose. "I don't care if I don't win the position of head of the family, but Liberty cannot take what's ours in the Farrell Group! And what about the fortune Mom left behind? Kathryn isn't sharing it equally with us. She can't keep it all for herself. At worst, I'll take her down with me. If I die, my children can still inherit Mom's estate. Kathryn is unmarried and childless-if she dies, she loses everything. That's her weakness!"

With that, Marco stood abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor. He stormed off without waiting for his father's response, unwilling to hear more of Holden's warnings.

Holden sat shaking with anger, his face pale. After a moment's hesitation, they got up and followed Marco, leaving Holden to stew

bitter laugh, muttering to himself. "Why? Why did I end up with these three rebellious fools? They're nothing but trouble, deaf to reason.
