Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Clarissa said solemnly, "Even if my position as matriarch wasn't obtained legitimately, it's still legitimate for you to take over. If the leadership of the family returns to your aunt's descendants, wouldn't I have been a joke for the past few decades? I've lost so much because of it."
Clarissa reached out and touched Kathryn's red and swollen face. She said, "Kathryn, everything I've done was for your own good. I hope that everything in the Farrell family will be left to you."
Kathryn looked at Clarissa, believing her intentions to leave everything in the Farrell family to her.
However, everything in the Farrell family did not belong to Clarissa alone.
Clarissa wanted to make the entire Farrell family her own. When Kathryn returned to Clarissa, she found that many in the family were dissatisfied with Clarissa because she was gradually abolishing the family rules bit by bit, just like the Lafayette family in Meadspring.
Clarissa aimed to make everything in the Farrell family her own.
It was no longer about the other family members.
How could they obey Clarissa when their interests were being violated?
Some who resisted were slowly suppressed by Clarissa, forcing them to flee, commit crimes and be caught, or die.
These were all Clarissa's actions.
Kathryn did not object to Clarissa consolidating power and interests. If it were her, she might do the same.
However, capable members of the Farrell family still needed to be nurtured, not eliminated.
Kathryn also thought that if she were to take over the Farrell family, she would modify the family rules gradually but would not kill or harm anyone.
The family was large and had many branches.
The Farrell family's rules were no longer suitable for today's society.
Some members had no special abilities but gained benefits by flattering others. They did nothing but show off and suppress dissenters.
This phenomenon was widespread, and Clarissa didn't care about it.
Instead, she used those sycophants to suppress and harm the capable young talents, forcing them to leave and seek other opportunities.
There were now very few capable young people in the family.
