Married At First Sight Chapter 4095
Kathryn noticed Liberty's unease, likely stemming from the thought of running the Farrell family alone once she assumed leadership. Offering reassurance, Kathryn smiled and said,
"I'll continue to help you until you're fully ready to take over. Once that happens, I'll step away."
Over the past two or three years, Kathryn had gained significant experience in managing the Farrell family, far surpassing Liberty's knowledge.
Liberty, having only been in Jensburg for a few months, still had a lot to learn. When she first arrived, her focus was on her new company, leaving her unfamiliar with the Farrell family's inner workings.
Back when Clarissa was alive, she had been extremely guarded toward Liberty, ensuring that Liberty remained uninformed about many family matters. As a result, Liberty now found herself in the dark, struggling to grasp the complexities of the Farrell family.
"I know you won't leave right away," Liberty admitted. "But I still have so much to learn. If I take over now, I won't have the credibility to lead. Let's wait until I've gained more familiarity with everything."
Kathryn proposed, "How about Qingming? I'll lead the family to the ancestral worship ceremony, and that can serve as a transitional moment."
With Qingming still one or two months away, it would give Liberty time to prepare.
Liberty hesitated, then replied, "Qingming sounds fine for the ceremony, but I don't think I should officially take over the leadership role then."
Kathryn nodded thoughtfully. "How about this: we'll set an earlier date for the formal handover, and you can lead the family to the ancestral ceremony on Qingming. Does that work?"
After some thought, Liberty agreed. "Alright, that sounds reasonable."
She then added, "Kathryn, could you stay for another year or two? You wouldn't have to be involved in the day-to-day operations. You could focus on your own things while still being here to guide me."
Kathryn smiled warmly. "Let's see
how things go. Seren is about to have her baby, right? I'll stay until after the baby is born. Once the baby turns one month old, I'll come back to Witspoon for the celebration, and then I'll leave."
"She's over seven months pregnant now," Liberty said. "So, her due date is a little over two months away. Of course, due dates aren't always exact-some babies arrive early, others later." Liberty secretly hoped to gain enough confidence and experience before her sister Serenity gave birth. That way, she could free up time to return to Wiltspoon.
When Serenity went into labor,
Liberty intended to stay by her side until Serenity was discharged from the hospital and had settled in at home with the baby. She planned to return to Jensburg after that, but when the baby turned one month
old, she would return to Wiltspoon to celebrate with Kathryn.
As they continued their conversation, the two women entered the stunning main house and settled on the plush sofa.
Jim, Liberty's trusted bodyguard, followed them into the house. The other guards stayed outside, keeping watch. Jim, who had been with Liberty the longest and was assigned to her by her sister Serenity, was deeply trusted. Meanwhile, Pedro, Kathryn's indispensable assistant, brought water and fruit for both Kathryn and Liberty. Over time, Pedro had become inseparable from Kathryn, always handling her needs with precision.
Suddenly, loud shouting erupted from outside.
"Kathryn! Kathryn! Get out here!"
The yelling was unmistakable-it was Kathryn's three brothers.
Kathryn had previously issued strict orders barring them from entering the Farrell family mansion freely. In the past, she had their belongings packed up and delivered to them, fearing they might strip the mansion of its valuables. noveldrama
Now, the mansion was staffed entirely with new personnel. None of the old staff who had been loyal to Clarissa remained. Audrey, Liberty, and Kathryn had carefully selected the current household staff. Kathryn had taken a hands-off approach, only choosing a few individuals herself. She reassured Liberty that once Liberty moved in, she could replace any of Kathryn's picks if she wasn't satisfied with them.
