Love at First Novel

Chapter 3720



Chapter 3720 - Marco still felt shaken when he remembered

that night. Thankfully, Clarissa's pistol only had a few bullets; otherwise, she might have shot them. Clarissa always favored Kathryn as if she were her own child.

"I hope not," Holden said. "But Marco, I don't think they've made any decisions yet. The New Year is around the corner, and the company will be on break soon. Everything will be decided after the New Year. In the meantime, you and your brothers should take advantage of your positions at the company and secure as much as you can.

Also, go back to the mansion quickly. Your mother had a lot of valuable jewelry. Make sure to take it all, along with any other valuable items in the house.

You don't need to worry about the bigger items. Every head of the Farrell family lives in the mansion, and some things are fixed and can't be moved. But your mother's collection of calligraphy, paintings, and antiques are worth a fortune, so you should take them.

Kathryn isn't bluffing. The four of us-father and sons-may not get any of your

mother's estate. The jewelry, art, and antiques are all we can take for now. Selling them will give us more than enough money to live on for the rest of our lives."

Holden didn't know how long his sons would need the money, but for him, it would be plenty. He was in his seventies and figured he had, at most, ten more years. The money from selling those valuables would allow him to live comfortably.

Clarissa's collection included authentic works from master artists, which were extremely valuable. Her antiques were also worth a lot.

Altogether, selling everything could easily bring in hundreds of millions. Not to mention the jewelry. Even strong women like Clarissa loved jewelry. Many of her pieces were family heirlooms, passed down from previous heads of the Farrell family, making them even more valuable than anything on the market today.

Marco's eyes lit up at first, but then his face fell. "Dad, we're not allowed to enter the mansion anymore, except for Kathryn."

"What do you mean?” Holden asked, shocked.

"Mrs. Stone has stationed guards there and even sent people inside. All the servants have been replaced, and even the butler has been removed," Marco explained.

Holden was speechless. "Why is she doing that?" Marco didn't respond.

Audrey, whose surname was Farrell, was the eldest daughter of the previous Matriarch. She should have been the head of the family, but Marco's mother prevented her from taking over. Now, Audrey was back to reclaim everything.

With Clarissa and Mr. Dunn both dead, the outcome was clear.

The Farrell family was returning to the descendants of the previous Matriarch. Marco and his family no longer had control over the mansion-they were no longer the owners.

Although Audrey or Liberty hadn't officially taken over the family yet, it was almost certain they would.

Even the attitude of the clan members toward them had turned sour. Marco was furious.

A Farrell clan member had said, "Your mother tried to burn us alive, and you still expect us to welcome you with open arms?"

Holden was liyid. His own daughter, Kathryn, wouldn't listen to him and even threatened him. That was one thing, but hot being able to take his

wife's jewelry, art, and antiques that was a loss of hundreds of millions!

Holden felt like his heart was bleeding.

Marco, full of regret, said, "We can't take any money from the company-that would be

embezzlement, and we'd end up intNôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

jail. It's our fault for not listening to you earlier, Dad. If we had, we could have packed everything up and left for home sooner, maybe even gotten more."

It was too late now. Fortunately, they still had some assets and a small business under their name.

They owned a few houses for rent and a handful of stores in their hometown. They could make a living from collecting rent, but their carefree days of spending without limits were over.

When Clarissa was alive, Marco thought she was too strict, always controlling and scolding them. Now that she was gone, he realized life had been better with her around.

Even though she favored Kathryn, she was never unfair to her three sons, especially when it came to material things.
