Love at First Novel

Clarissa looked unhappy. Marco knew without asking that the mother and daughter might have had an argument. Did Kathryn become a victim of his old mother's murder?

Frightened, Marco quickly turned his gaze away and said carefully to Clarissa, "Mom, you and Kathryn have to eat even if we want to talk."

"roll!"

Clarissa roared in anger.

The intensity of the yelling drove Marco to turn and flee. Because he ran too fast, he fell down, and the tray he was holding, along with the food, fell to the ground. He looked extremely embarrassed as the food scattered all over the floor.

The study door slammed shut with a "bang".

Marco only dared to turn his head to look at the closed study door before hastily getting up.

He didn't dare to leave like this; he had to clean up the food on the ground.

Marco quickly cleaned up the mess on the ground and went downstairs in a hurry.

Holden and his two younger sons were nervous when they heard some noise upstairs.

"Can you two go upstairs and see what's going on?" Holden guessed that Clarissa was furious. He was afraid to go upstairs and face Clarissa's reprimand, so he asked his two younger sons to go upstairs and check.

Noel pushed Sage, and Sage pulled him.

Each brother wanted the other to go upstairs.

In the end, they just went together because no one wanted to.

However, as soon as they reached the stairs, they saw their eldest brother, Marco, hurrying downstairs.

"Brother, what happened? I appeared to hear something breaking."

Noel, the second brother, inquired.

When Noel saw the tray Marco was carrying, he understood what was going on.

He intended to mock Marco by accidentally knocking over Clarissa's food, but he refrained from his playful remarks upon noticing Marco's pallid countenance.

Marco handed the cleaned-up food and tray to the servant, telling him to clean them up. He walked over and sat down on the sofa.

"Marco, what's going on? Your mother still refuses to eat?" Holden asked with concern.

"Dad, pour me a glass of water. I want to drink some to calm myself down."

Without Holden going to pour water, Noel quickly poured a glass of water for Marco.

Noel poured Marco a glass of water, which he drank in one breath.

"dad." Marco looked at his father, his face pale, then lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what my mother and Kathryn are arguing about. My mother attacked Kathryn."

"ah?" The father and his two younger sons all opened their mouths in surprise.

Holden's face gradually turned pale. He asked in a trembling voice, “Did you see clearly? Did your mother really do something to Kathryn? Is Kathryn alive now, or dead?"

Holden never dreamed that Clarissa would attack her own daughter.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Shiloh died at Clarissa's instigation. One could also argue that Shiloh was not his biological child, and that m Shiloh's biological father switched the two children, resulting in Kathryn, the Farrell family's real daughter, not growing up with her parents and experiencing bullying and abuse from her adoptive family.

Clarissa seemed to still love her adopted daughter Shiloh as much h as much as before, but who could guarantee that she actually hated Shiloh's biological father in her heart and took revenge on Shiloh little by little? Kathryn, however, was her biological daughter.

How could she bear to harm her own daughter?

To be honest, Holden would harm his own daughter, but Clarissa wouldn't do that because she needed Kathryn to take over.

Marco replied, "I don't know whether Kathryn is dead or alive now. I only saw Kathryn lying on mom's deskm motionless. There was a cup on the floor, broken into pieces. Mom looked heckled and told me to get out. I was terrified that I fell down, and the food spilled on the floor."
