Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

"You're new here, so you wouldn't know," the older security guard continued. "I've been working here for a while. The former eldest son of the Farrell family lives in this area, so I hear all the latest updates."

"Of course, it's not like the whole city knows about it. The media only spreads what they get their hands on."

Meanwhile, Marco was completely unaware of the guards' gossip. He thought he had covered his tracks well. All he cared about was executing the plan that night-eliminating Kathryn, avenging Shiloh and her mother, and reclaiming all of his mother's private assets. He refused to let Kathryn take everything for herself.

Marco blamed Kathryn for Shiloh and her mother's deaths. He was convinced she had killed them.

But in truth, even if Kathryn had never existed, Audrey would have returned to claim justice for her mother, and the Farrell family would have still ended up in turmoil. Clarissa's descendants wouldn't have been able to seize power so easily.

Mr. Jimenez was still alive. He had been Audrey's mother's right-hand man and knew more about the past than anyone else.

As long as he lived, Clarissa's side of the family would never win.

Marco and his men were nothing more than bullies who preyed on the weak. They wouldn't dare challenge the powerful families in Wiltspoon, so they targeted Kathryn instead. Compared to those major families, she was vulnerable—an easy target.
