If he had known earlier that Clarissa was still planning something drastic, he would have sent his three sons away sooner. Now, it might be too late to escape. Kathryn had said that if Clarissa scared them, they should leave.
After Clarissa and Kathryn left, the butler followed. Holden told the three sons, "Now you see, your mother only wants to save your sister and doesn't care about you three. I'm the only one who does. I told you to go back to my hometown or skip tonight's dinner, but you didn't listen. Can you leave now? If you do, what will Audrey and the others think? It will ruin your mother's plan, and you'll be in trouble." Marco and his brothers were speechless. They understood now. Realizing that Kathryn at hwas a stand-in, they finally saw how their parents favored their sister. Their mother wasn't just showing favoritism toward a daughter-she was protecting the future of the family. Kathryn was the successor.
It wasn't about favoring daughters over sons, but about preserving the family's leadership through Kathryn, ensuring the Farrell family stayed in her line. So, what if they were sons? Even if there were more of them, their mother wouldn't show as much love.
"Dad, I'm sorry. We didn't understand and were too hopeful," Marco apologized to Holden, then quietly asked, "Dad, do you know Mom's plan? What is she planning? Is she going to poison everyone?" Holden wanted to answer but suddenly felt someone's cold stare. He instinctively looked and saw it was Clarissa, who had gone upstairs, angry with Kathryn.
He quickly lowered his head and whispered to his sons, "Your mother is downstairs now. You can't leave, but there's still a way to survive. Tonight, stay close to Kathryn." Even if his wife was furious with their daughter, she would still protect her if something happened. So, it would be safe for his sons to stick with Kathryn.
Besides, Kathryn had Pedro with her. He was strong and could find a way to protect her.

"Clarissa, the butler said your niece and others are here. There are so many people, and cars are lined up outside. Kathryn went out to welcthem.
Should we go out too? They are honored guests, and your niece is the daughter of the previous matriarch. If the former matriarch were still alive, your niece would probably be sitting in your place now."
Clarissa glared at Holden coldly and replied, "Don't stir things up. She's already willing to fightto the end without your help. I'm the elder, and no matter her status in Wiltspoon, she's still younger than me. Do you expectto go out and greet her?" Clarissa walked to the sofa and sat down, not bothering to greet Audrey and the others.
However, she ordered her three sons, "Marco, what are you and your m You brothers doing standing there like statues? Go greet your cousin."
