NovelOnlineClarissa had arranged an all-around assistant for Kathryn early on because she initially believed Kathryn was a hopeless case. Without someone capable by her side, she thought it would be difficult for Kathryn to establish her authority. So, she asked the base to assign an all-around assistant. Unexpectedly, one day, she would consider entrusting Kathryn to Pedro as a lifelong partner.
If Kathryn left the Farrell family, married Pedro, and lived as an ordinary couple, it wouldn't be a bad outcome. Both were competent, and their combined strengths as a couple might even lead to a better life than what they had now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHaving been the head of the family for decades, Clarissa clearly understood the current state of the Farrell Group and the family. Another reason she wanted Kathryn to be with Pedro was that Pedro cfrom the training base, where loyalty was absolute. No one from the base had ever betrayed their master. They were loyal for life, doing whatever the master asked, whether good or bad. Even if the master died, their loyalty remained unwavering.
Just like Mr. Jimenez, the former matriarch's assistant, who, even in his nineties, is still driven by the desire to avenge his matriarch and reclaim the position for her lineage, ensuring it goes to Audrey, or Liberty. The Farrell family had a tradition of training such loyal assistants at their base.
Pedro was surprised when Clarissa called him over to discuss these matters. He thought she intended to dismiss him. But Clarissa's smile was tinged with bitterness.
"Kathryn and I don't have a deep mother-daughter bond, but I do feel sorry for her. After giving birth, I was weak, and I failed to recognize the loyalty and deceit of those around me, allowing someone the chance to switch my daughter. Babies look alike at birth, but if you look closely, each child is unique. I didn't notice the difference.
I spent over 20 years loving a daughter who wasn't mine, while my real daughter suffered in someone else's home, beaten, scolded, and abused. When I think about the life Kathryn endured, it breaks my heart, and I feel immense guilt.
When she returned, she pretended to be weak, hiding her true abilities. At first, I didn't see it. I assumed her tough upbringing in the countryside made her frail. I didn't like her and even cursed God for givingsuch a weak and useless daughter.

Clarissa reflected on the past two years, "Because I didn't like Kathryn, we never developed a close bond. I often scolded her, calling her o.m hopeless. I arrange for you to be by I her side early on because I feared she might truly be unable to bear the burden of the family. With you as her powerful assistant, I thought you'd help her achieve what she couldn't on her own, establishing her authority so that the company's veterans and family elders wouldn't underestimate her."
