Chapter 3678
Many members of the Farrell family came over to greet Audrey and her group. Liberty quietly asked Zachary, “Are we good? No surprises, right?” Zachary replied softly, “Don’t worry, everything’s fine, sister.” Liberty exchanged a look with him, then nodded after receiving a glance from Clive. Audrey spoke briefly with the family members and introduced the younger generation, especially Liberty. One of the clan members smiled and said, “Liberty, we already know each other quite well.” Liberty smiled back, acknowledging their familiarity. Many of the Farrell family members had observed Liberty’s actions in Jensburg, and some had secretly allied themselves with her. Just then, Clarissa’s voice interrupted, “Since everyone’s here, why don’t you come inside? It’s a bit cold out here.” Clarissa and Holden had been waiting inside for Audrey’s group to enter. After some time passed, they realized no one was coming in. When they asked around, they found out that Audrey’s group was staying in the yard, joking they were afraid there might be bombs or gasoline inside the house. Clarissa was furious. She had actually considered burying a bomb. Mr. Dunn had warned her that making a bomb would attract too much attention, and the police might show up before they could act. Not only would their plan to kill Audrey and her group fail, but they would also get arrested. Clarissa had also thought about pouring gasoline around the house and setting a fire to trap everyone, whether they were inside or outside. She figured that once the fire spread, smoke would suffocate most of them before they could escape. Clarissa suspected that somehow her plan had been discovered. But then again, if Audrey knew, why would she bring her relatives and friends to the event? She would’ve called the police instead. When Clarissa and Holden appeared, the group fell silent. “Mom,” Kathryn greeted her. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Clarissa lightly scolded, “Kathryn, really? You didn’t even invite your cousin and her family inside. It’s cold out here.” After scolding her daughter, Clarissa smiled at Mr. Jimenez and said, “Mr. Jimenez, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect you to still be alive.” Mr. Jimenez quickly shot back, “It hasn’t been that long. I just saw you yesterday or the day before. You knew I was alive all along, Clarissa. Stop pretending like you didn’t know. Who are you trying to fool?” Clarissa was momentarily speechless at his blunt response. “You killed the previous matriarch. When Audrey and I came back, we went to see her, but you didn’t even let us pay our respects. Have you forgotten already? Or are you pretending because of guilt? Maybe you have Alzheimer’s. I’m nearly 100, and I don’t even have Alzheimer’s yet.” Clarissa tried to regain her composure, saying, “Mr. Jimenez, you’re acting like you’re full of gunpowder today. When did I ever…? The Farrell family can’t recall those events, but I can help you remember, just like someone having an epileptic episode.” Lilian smirked slightly, making Clarissa’s face tighten. She still had toxins in her system, and if she had another episode in front of all these people, twitching and drooling like before, it would ruin her reputation completely. The reporters, paying close attention, continued to snap photos. It became clear that Clarissa, the current matriarch of the Farrell family, had indeed killed her own sister to claim her position!
