Chapter 3456
Clarissa was aware that Kathryn still possessed a conscience and strong moral principles. If Kathryn discovered that Clarissa privately owned firearms, she might take drastic measures in the name of justice. Such an outcome would be worse than death for Clarissa—she would face relentless ridicule. This mockery would serve as her comeuppance, all at Kathryn’s hands.
Just last night, Clarissa had fallen into Kathryn’s clutches.
Kathryn had obviously ingested the drug, even if it was just a sip. The amount Clarissa had administered was sufficient to incapacitate Kathryn for several days.
Who would have expected that, shortly after Pedro took Kathryn away, Liberty would receive the news?
Clive immediately flew to Jensburg overnight.
Clarissa was certain that Kathryn was the one who had informed Liberty.
After Pedro took Kathryn, he didn’t return her home but instead brought her to the hospital. The doctor quickly identified the drug and treated her, allowing Kathryn to recover swiftly.
Clarissa arranged for her sons to visit Kathryn with breakfast laced with sleeping pills.
However, Kathryn was not deceived and refused to eat the breakfast they brought.
Well.
Clarissa sighed inwardly, feeling as though she was already facing retribution.
Kathryn did not share her views.
Clarissa knew that Kathryn would even sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice.
She believed that if she and Audrey truly fought to the death, it would likely be Kathryn who ultimately defeated her.
If Kathryn had grown up alongside her, Clarissa would have already passed the Farrell family legacy to her and retired to enjoy her grandchildren.
With the news spreading, Clarissa and Assistant Dunn deliberated her options: either wait for the truth to surface and confront Audrey openly or eliminate Liberty and Clive immediately.
Upon entering Liberty’s company, Clarissa left her small pistol in the car and did not take it with her.
Liberty was guarding against her as if she were a thief.
Even if she had wanted to shoot, she
likely wouldn’t succeed in killing Liberty with just one shot.
As anticipated, Liberty’s bodyguards prevented Clarissa’s team from entering the office. One bodyguard, Jim, scrutinized her intently, searching for concealed weapons.
Jim had previously served as Zachary’s personal bodyguard. When Liberty arrived in Jensburg, Zachary assigned his most trusted guard to her.

Clarissa felt a sense of relief that she had changed her mind at the last moment.
Assistant Dunn proposed hiring mercenaries, altering their identities, disguising themselves, and sneaking into Jensburg to find an opportunity to eliminate Liberty and Clive.
If one assassin came from Wiltspoon, they would kill one target. If two came, they would kill both. Even if they faced legal repercussions, achieving such a high body count would be seen as a victory.
The main motivation was that if Audrey’s two nieces (Serenity and Liberty) and her biological daughter (Elisa) were eliminated, even if Clarissa were sentenced to death, the Farrell family would fall under the control of the family’s head branch. Kathryn was unaware of their scheme.
Kathryn could then seize control of the Farrell family.
Clarissa was determined to fight to the bitter end against the people from Wiltspoon because she refused to surrender the Farrell family, which she had managed for decades, to her eldest sister’s heirs.
Clarissa awaited Assistant Dunn to finalize the plan.
In the coming days, she needed to take actions that would unsettle the Wiltspoon group, prompting Audrey to arrive.
Once everyone was assembled, she could confront them all at once.
“Liberty, your bodyguards are stationed at your office door. Are you treating me like a thief?”
As soon as Clarissa entered, she addressed Liberty directly.
“I am your
“Grandmother,” Clarissa emphasized her role as the elder. She turned to Liberty and Clive, saying, “Aren’t you two cousins going to show some manners? When I arrived, you didn’t even greet me or invite me to sit.”
Liberty shrugged and pointed to a chair, “Then please take a seat, Grandma.”
With a snort, Clarissa sat down and remarked, “Your parents passed away when you were young, so no one taught you proper manners. Clive, you are the eldest son of the Stone family, yet you seem unaware of etiquette. Do you not respect me as your grandmother, or does your family lack proper education?”
