Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3551

They all knew that the Farrell family would eventually belong to Kathryn, and their futures depended on her. Yet, they still hadn’t figured out how to win her favor, treating her the same way they always had. It was as if they were blind and brainless.

After being scolded by Clarissa, Marco didn’t dare say a word. She then instructed them to bring dinner to Kathryn after work.

Marco knew better than to disobey Clarissa, so he quickly called Holden, asking him to whip up a few dishes, pack them, and bring them to the hospital. The father and brothers went together to visit Kathryn.

But even Holden scolded them. He had advised his three sons to take their children back to his hometown to avoid the chaos within the Farrell family. But the sons only sent their children away, choosing to stay behind themselves.

With no other option, Holden also remained in Jensburg.

Clarissa knew the grandchildren had been sent back to Holden’s hometown, but Holden kept quiet about it. He only instructed his daughters-in-law to let the grandchildren stay there for the New Year and not return to Jensburg too soon.

Holden suspected Clarissa’s instructions carried a deeper message: the battle between Clarissa and her niece would conclude before the New Year. One of them would perish, and it wouldn’t drag on into the next year.

Publicly and privately, Holden hoped Clarissa would win.

Even though Clarissa had been harsh to him, reducing him to a shadow of his former self, they had several children and many grandchildren. As long as Clarissa controlled the Farrell family, their descendants would live well. But if Clarissa lost, everything would revert to Audrey, and their family’s future would be bleak.

With their current assets, they could live comfortably if managed well. But without Clarissa to clean up their messes, they’d quickly decline into poverty, and all Holden’s efforts would have been in vain. The thought alone was enough to make him sick with worry.

Kathryn turned to Pedro and then addressed Holden and Marco, “Why shouldn’t Pedro take care of me? He belongs to me—he’s my man!”
