Love at First Novel

Chapter 3606

As soon as they got off the plane, they headed straight to the Farrell family cemetery. No one had eaten yet, and they were hungry. “Master, I’ll take Miss Audrey back to eat first. We’ve flown for several hours and came here right after getting off the plane. I’m starving. By the way, there’s also Lilian. You may not know her, but she’s my apprentice, although I didn’t officially take her in as one. She’s actually the apprentice of the miracle doctor. I don’t want to steal someone else’s apprentice, so in my spare time, I just teach her some martial arts. That’s all. In my heart, she’s still my apprentice. She’s a very sensible and powerful girl. I brought her here to burn some incense for you and to meet you. I’m alive today, and able to return to see you, thanks to the miracle doctor and Lilian. In the past, the miracle doctor spent a lot of effort on me, and later, it was Lilian. For my health, to help me live longer, she’s done so much. They are both my benefactors.” Mr. Jimenez turned his head to Lilian and said, “Lilian, please burn some incense for my master, so he can take a good look at you.” Lilian glanced at Clarissa and the others with a warning look, then walked over to burn incense for Mr. Jimenez’s master. Audrey and Darrell kept a close eye on Clarissa and the others, lest they try to escape or launch a surprise attack. Clarissa silently wondered what had happened to Mr. Dunn. Why hadn’t he set the fire? Even if he didn’t set the fire, there should have been some sort of movement by now. Or maybe he thought it wasn’t the right time? Or perhaps someone was ambushed around Audrey? Lilian helped Mr. Jimenez over. Clarissa immediately stopped speculating and focused her attention on Mr. Jimenez. Audrey and Darrell then went to pay their respects. “Mr. Jimenez, I haven’t seen you for decades, but you haven’t changed much,” Clarissa said softly. Her eyes reddened as she added, “You’ve just aged a lot. You used to be so majestic, walking with such confidence. When I was a child, I had to run to keep up with you. Now you need someone to support you. Time is indeed unforgiving.” Mr. Jimenez stopped three steps away from Clarissa. He stared at her coldly and said in an icy tone, “It’s a miracle I’m still alive. You sent so many killers to hunt me down, but I survived. You killed the head of the family, the third young lady, Miss Audrey’s father, and her grandparents. And yet, you’ve been allowed to live to such an old age. Truly, God is unjust!” Clarissa’s mouth twitched as she retorted, “I’m old? I’m more than 20 years younger than you! And you say I killed my sisters? Do you have any evidence? Who can prove that I did it? Did my sister tell you?” Clarissa began to get emotional. “You keep talking about my sister. In your eyes, it’s always about her! Mr. Jimenez, my sister has been married for a long time. She and my brother-in-law have a very good relationship. They have two precious daughters! Their family of four is so happy. My sister just used you and never loved you. Why are you so infatuated with her? You say I tried to have you killed, but how could I do that? I liked you so much; how could I order someone to hunt you down, Mr. Jimenez? This must be a misunderstanding. There has to be a misunderstanding.” As long as no evidence was presented, Clarissa planned to deny everything and refuse to admit any guilt. She wanted to see what their next move would be. If possible, she didn’t want to die alongside Audrey and the others. She had wealth, power, and influence. Although her marriage wasn’t happy, her sons were useless, and her daughter wasn’t on the same page with her, she still wanted to live a good life. She wanted to live to be a hundred years old.
