Chapter 3444
– Clive promptly departed to fly to Jensburg.
Meanwhile, after Liberty reached out to Kevin, she remained seated in her office for an extended period.
She pondered: Was she truly returning to Wiltspoon?
If she stayed and Clarissa ended up killing her, there would be proof of Clarissa’s crime, which could lead to her conviction.
Her grandmother’s family was murdered many decades ago.
Even if Mr. Jimenez were alive to testify, the incident occurred so long ago that Clarissa might not face severe consequences.
Unless Clarissa committed another capital offense, such as murder or arson recently, she could only be punished with death.
She had become bait.
Considering this, Liberty immediately called Zachary. When he answered, she said, “Zachary, I’ve made a decision. I won’t return to Wiltspoon. I’ll remain in Jensburg and wait for her to act. Once she does, we can gather evidence of her crime. I can’t run away to Wiltspoon. I can’t hide forever, and we can’t abandon Jensburg either.”
Unless she stops seeking the truth about her grandmother’s murder, which is impossible.
“Sister!” Zachary said seriously, “Seren will be very worried if you continue like this. Your cousin has already left for Jensburg.”
“Please tell Seren that I’ll be fine and that I’ll exercise caution. Assure her to not worry and to help look after Sonny. It’s best if we keep this a secret from her. Don’t let her know that Sonny is on winter vacation. Let her and her nephew enjoy their time at FC Manor.”
Sonny was still in Wiltspoon, but his heart had already flown to FC Manor.

earlier than Sonny.

Zachary wanted to keep the secret from Serenity even more than Liberty did.
However, he was concerned that if something happened to Liberty, Serenity would discover the truth and blame him for hiding it.
Zachary is still undecided about whether to inform Serenity.
Audrey and the other elders also recommended keeping the matter from Serenity for now, mainly due to her pregnancy. They feared that once she learned of it, she would become anxious and distressed, which could negatively impact her and the baby.
“Zachary, you can’t raise a tiger cub without taking risks. What am I doing in Jensburg? I was aware of the dangers before coming here, and I’ve faced them. If I return now, won’t all my efforts have been in vain?”
Liberty chose not to go back to Wiltspoon and decided to remain in Jensburg.
She wanted to observe how Clarissa would treat her.
She needed to take advantage of this chance and gather evidence of Clarissa’s wrongdoing to ensure her imprisonment.
Returning to Wiltspoon would certainly be safer than staying in Jensburg at this point.
Nonetheless, achieving a resolution amid the open and covert conflicts with Clarissa proved challenging.
Zachary realized that further persuasion was pointless, as Liberty’s will was stronger than Serenity’s.
Especially after her divorce, she had regained her confidence and re-entered both the workplace and business world.
Liberty’s strength gradually became evident.
Audrey remarked that this was typical of the eldest daughter in the Farrell family.
Zachary said, “Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t try to change your mind any further. Just be careful. Seren and Sonny are eagerly awaiting your return for the New Year celebrations. I will also ask Josh to make some arrangements.”
“People are heading over there. However, sister, please try to stay indoors. I believe they might stage a car accident. Unless Clarissa truly wants to end her life, she would resort to hacking or shooting people.”
