Liberty's voice remained steady, her words slicing through the tension in the room.

"The position of head of the family should have been passed to my aunt or my mother," she began, her gaze unwavering as she addressed Marco. "But your mother made sure that never happened. She killed my mother, leaving both my aunt and my mother without a home, without family, and without hope. She stole everything from them-their legacy, their parents, their relatives.

"But now," Liberty continued, her tone sharp, "Clarissa has gone to my grandmother to atone for her sins. It's time to set things right. The Farrell family belongs to my grandmother's bloodline, and it's only right that her descendants reclaim what was stolen. As her granddaughter, I will take my rightful place as the new head of this family." Turning her focus back to Marco, she didn't hesitate to shut him down. "And you, Mr. Jimenez-do you have a problem with that? If you do, keep it to yourself. This is a matter for the Farrell family, and it has nothing to do with the Jimenez family." Marco's face paled at her sharp rebuttal, his growing resentment toward Kathryn and Liberty visible in his clenched fists. His thoughts turned dark. Why couldn't God have taken Kathryn instead?

Seething, Marco snapped, "How can this not be related? Kathryn is my sister, and Clarissa was my mother. Even if my mother is gone, I still have my sister. By the rules of the Farrell family, my sister should take over as the head, not you, Liberty. "You? Your mother wasn't even the eldest daughter! And she's been gone for years. If your aunt wanted to take over, fine-I wouldn't object. But you, Liberty? I refuse to accept it. If anyone should inherit the Farrell family, it should be someone else. There are plenty of more qualified candidates in the family." Liberty smiled calmly, a glint of confidence in her eyes. "Oh, you do know the family rules, don't you? Then you must also know that only a descendant of the direct bloodline can take over the Farrell family. Tell me, Marco-are any of those 'more qualified candidates' from the direct lineage?

Kathryn has already made it clear she won't take the position. That leaves me, the eldest among us. If not me, then who? You?" Her words hit Marco like a hammer,
