After the incident between Shiloh and Holden, Matriarch Farrell suddenly seemed to have aged by more than ten years.
She used to take good care of herself, but she didn’t look like a seventy-year-old; she looked like she was in her fifties.
Now she looked like an eighty-year-old lady.

“Your dad also said that there is someone in my heart, but | have never cheated on him. Those are all in the past. Who doesn’t have the past? Your dad never broke up with the women around him before he cto your door. Isn't that his past? After | cto the door, I didn’t settle the old score with him. He had the nerve to say that | had someone in my heart.” Kathryn's beautiful eyes flashed. “Mom, the man in your heart must be very good, right?” Matriarch Farrell: “He is very good—a hundred times better than your father. I'm going away in two days, and the old friend I'm going to meet is the one in my heart. | haven't seen him for decades, but | don’t know if he still remembers me. Maybe he doesn’t remember. It’s also possible that he can remember even if | turn into ashes.” If he talked about love, he would definitely forget Matriarch Farrell. He only had her eldest sister in his heart.
If she turned to ashes due to hatred, he would remember it.
Matriarch Farrell felt that he was still alive and well, and it was his hatred for her that sustained him.
“knock knock.” There was a knock on the door. a “Madam, the eldest young lady is back.” It was the butler knocking on the door outside the study.
He told Matriarch Farrell that Erika was back.
Matriarch Farrell said to Kathryn, “Kathryn, you go out first. If you haven't eaten yet, go downstairs to eat. If | don’t ask you to cin, don’t cin.” Kathryn: “Mom, please take care of yourself and don’t get angry.” Before Kathryn went out, she did not forget to express her concern for her mother. She still had a small ball of marshmallows left in her big ball, and there were still two fruits in the candied haws.
She saw Erika at the door of the study.

Erika saw the food she was holding in Kathryn's hands like a housekeeper and couldn't help but say, “Kathryn, why are you acting like a child and buying this food to eat? Your nieces and nephews rarely eat these things. If you want to eat it, ask the chef to help you make your own candied haws. It's clean and hygienic. You can also make marshmallows yourself; there is no need to buy them outside.” Kathryn smiled and said, “I just went out to play in the afternoon and saw many people buying it. | joined in the fun and bought it to taste. | won't buy it next time. Sister-in-law, mom asked you to go in. Go in quickly. Don’t keep mom waiting.” Erika hummed and was about to go in, then stopped, grabbed Kathryn, who was about to leave, and asked in a low voice, “Kathryn, what do you wantto do?” In the Farrell family mansion, there was no one who was not afraid of Matriarch Farrell.
Erika was no exception.
Although Matriarch Farrell was quite nice to her daughters-in-law and was not an evil mother-in-law, she was the head of the family and was powerful without anger. Erika often did not dare to breathe in front of her mother-in- law.
Erika’s heart was in a state of confusion when her mother-in-law inexplicably called her into the study. She didn’t know what her mother-in-law wanted to do with her.
After returning from sending her children to school, Erika heard the Butler say that her mother-in-law was looking for her, so she went over what she had done in the past few days to make sure that she had not done anything out of the ordinary but was still worried.
Kathryn whispered, “I don’t know. Mom looks very angry. There are a lot of photos scattered on the ground. | want to take a look. Mom won't letpick them up and look at them, saying it will stain my eyes. Sister-in-law, you go in and pick them up. Take a look, see what kind of photo it is, and telllater.”
