Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 3762

Chapter 3762 Chapter 3762 Marco didn’t think much of Pedro. He was fine with Pedro being Kathryn’s assistant since it was arranged by their organization, and they couldn’t do anything about it. But he didn’t like the idea of Kathryn being in a relationship with Pedro. To him, Pedro wasn’t good enough for Kathryn. As her brother, Marco hoped Kathryn would marry someone powerful, someone they could rely on in the future. Kathryn sat across from her brothers. She listened to Marco’s complaints, then calmly asked, “What’s wrong with Pedro? He’s better than all of you. Even though he’s an orphan, he has the skills to succeed on his own if he wants to. Why shouldn’t I like Pedro? Mom trusted Pedro and even asked him to look out for me. You might doubt my judgment, but do you doubt Mom’s? Besides, this is my decision. I’ve made up my mind— it’s Pedro or no one.” Even when Clarissa was alive, Kathryn was hard to control. Now that she was gone, her brothers had even less influence over her. Kathryn firmly believed that her choice in marriage was hers alone, and no one else had the right to interfere. “…Alright,” Marco finally said. “If Mom approved of him, I won’t argue. I just want the best for you. I think you could find someone better than Pedro, even if I introduced you to someone more accomplished.” Kathryn replied, “Pedro is loyal and sincere. Those qualities mean more to me than money or power.” Marco was at a loss for words. “Kathryn,” Sage added, “We’re not here to meddle in your love life. You’ve always had strong opinions, and even when Mom was alive, she couldn’t change your mind. You never saw us as

brothers anyway, so it’s not like we could tell you what to do even if we wanted to.” He continued, “We came to talk to you about Mom’s inheritance and the Farrell family mansion. That mansion is our home. We were born there, grew up there, and even got married there. But now, you’ve let others take over as if they own the place, and they’re even shutting us out. Mom’s barely gone, and you’re already letting these people push us aside. We’re your real brothers—your family. Even if we fight, we’re still blood.” Noel, getting angrier, added to Sage’s words, blaming Kathryn for the situation. Kathryn didn’t react angrily. She let them say what they needed to say. She understood their frustration, and it was no surprise that they were upset. After they finished venting, Kathryn calmly stood up, picked up her coffee, and leaned against her desk, sipping it slowly. Her calm reaction only made her brothers more upset. When they finally ran out of steam, their mouths dry from all the shouting, they grabbed the glasses of water she’d offered earlier. “Kathryn, don’t just stand there,” Marco said. “Tell us what you’re planning to do. Are you really going to let everything in the Farrell family slip away to them?” “The conflicts of the past belong to the past,” Kathryn said. “I took over Mom’s role, not theirs, and I’m not trying to take anything from them. Why should I cling to everything Mom left behind?”
