Female Novel“Mom, who is your old friend?” Kathryn asked curiously.
Matriarch Farrell did not tell her but just said, “It’s just my old friend. Don’t ask so many questions.When I’m not at home, you can take care of the company and handle the affairs of the clan. If anyonedoesn’t listen to your arrangements, remember to wait until I come back to deal with them. It would bebetter if you could handle it well. After all, I’m getting older and need to slowly let go and let you get thehang of it. You can’t rely on me all your life.”
Kathryn said, “Mom, I know you can go out without worries. It’s not the first time that you have traveledfar away. Last time, you went to Wiltspoon for more than half a month, and I did a good job at home.”

Matriarch Farrell said, “Well, I believe you. It’s very late. Go upstairs and rest. I will watch TV for a whileand then catch up on my sleep.”
Kathryn hummed, said good night to Matriarch Farrell, then got up and went upstairs.
After Kathryn went upstairs, Matriarch Farrell raised her hand and pulled out a necklace that she hadworn all year. There was a pendant in the middle of the necklace. There was a small photo hidden inthe pendant. The small photo was of the previous assistant to the head of the family when he wasyoung.
It was Matriarch Farrell who secretly photographed him before. After posting it, she cut it into smallpieces and hid it in her necklace pendant.
It is said that the first love is the most unforgettable.
She and he couldn’t be said to be their first love because he had never loved her and only treated heras a little doll or a second lady.
In his eyes, her eldest sister was the woman that he loved most.
For the sake of her eldest sister, she believes he will never marry.
“No matter which corner you hide in, as long as you are still alive, I will dig you out.” Matriarch Farrellmurmured.
This was the first and only man Matriarch Farrell fell in love with. Even after decades, he had a placedeep in her heart.
She married Holden because she needed a husband and children so that the power she had finallywon could continue.
Holden told Kathryn that there was someone in her mother’s heart.
That’s true.
Matriarch Farrell had someone in her heart. She never showed the necklace and the pendant she worebecause she didn’t want people to see that she secretly hid a man’s photo in the pendant.
Matriarch Farrell leaned back on the sofa chair, closed her eyes, and recalled the past days. Beforeshe knew it, she fell asleep.
In the dream, she dreamed not only of him but also of the eldest sister who raised her as a daughter,and even more of the eldest sister.
The eldest sister was so many years older than her and had played the role of mother since she couldremember.
After her mother gave birth to her younger sister, she passed away a few years later.
She and her sister relied even more on her sister.
Her sister was very busy and left early and came back late, but she did not ignore her and her sisterand loved them very much.
Her elder sister was guarded against everyone, but not the two younger sisters.
In the end, it was her sister who killed her.
When Matriarch Farrell woke up again, her face was full of tears. She quickly took out a tissue andwiped the tears on her face, fearing that someone would find her crying.
She had done it all, and she had done it for decades. Even if she regretted it, it would not help.
She couldn’t regret it. Regret couldn’t change what had happened. Instead, it would soften her heartand cause Audrey and others to destroy her.
“Sister, don’t blame me.” Matriarch Farrell murmured.
The TV was on, but Matriarch Farrell was not watching it, and she had no intention of watching it. Inthis way, the TV was turned on until dawn.
