Chapter 3563
– If it weren’t for her older sister, Fernando might have never noticed Clarissa.
Clarissa reflected on this with bitterness. She had harbored resentment towards her older sister, especially when she had plotted her sister’s demise. No matter what Clarissa accomplished, people always brought up her sister. Regardless of her achievements, the praise would inevitably be directed to her sister, with comments like, “Your older sister taught you well.”
Clarissa acknowledged her jealousy. Her older sister excelled in every aspect.
Her sister managed both the company and family affairs, while Clarissa played a supporting role. Whenever a problem arose, Clarissa would consult her sister for solutions. Her sister always found a way to resolve issues, and following her advice consistently led to successful outcomes.
Clarissa didn’t consider herself as intelligent or courageous as her older sister, but she was determined not to remain in her sister’s shadow indefinitely. She aspired to be better and to surpass her sister.
Clarissa believed that if her sister could achieve something, so could she. She was confident that if she took her sister’s place, she would not fail.
As a result, she killed her sister’s family. Fearing retaliation from her sister, she made the decision to eliminate her as well.
When her sister died, Clarissa was fully aware of her own involvement. Her sister looked at her in disbelief, unable to utter a word, and departed this world in shock. Clarissa was the one who dealt with her sister’s body.
“He will definitely return to Jensburg. If Audrey comes, he will follow. Even if she doesn’t, he will. He’ll testify that I killed both my older sister and younger sister,” Clarissa asserted with confidence.
“Prepare an ambush at the Farrell…
the gasoline around the property and ignite it, ensuring that everyone inside would perish. Clarissa was resolute in her objective. “Mr. Jimenez will undoubtedly take Audrey to visit my sister’s grave upon his return. If you can handle them at the cemetery, that would be ideal—it’s secluded and practical,” Clarissa instructed Mr. Dunn, emphasizing the importance of not neglecting the private cemetery where all the Farrell ancestors rest.
“He’ll want to pay his respects to my sister. How could Audrey not go? She is her biological mother. And Liberty and the others will surely accompany them. We could catch them all at once. If we’re feeling uncertain, we could sabotage their vehicles to cause an accident on the way back,” she added, envisioning a scenario that would spare her from facing Audrey and the others.
Once Audrey was out of the way, Clarissa would face no opposition, allowing her descendants to inherit her title as matriarch.
Mr. Dunn responded, “Madam, I’ll make the necessary arrangements, but I must highlight that if you’ve considered this, they’ve likely anticipated it as well. Our chances of success are not very high.”
Unless Clarissa confronted them directly at the Farrell family mansion and executed her plan, their success rate would be only between 20% and 50%.
“They have several powerful families backing them,” Mr. Dunn cautioned.
Clarissa shot him an irritated look. “Mr. Dunn, could you please refrain from discouraging me while I’m trying to eat?”
“Madam, I’m merely presenting the facts,” Mr. Dunn replied calmly.
Clarissa asserted, “Regardless of the outcome, we will persist until we succeed. Even if we cannot eliminate them all, we must at least inflict some damage. If all else fails, we’ll revert to the original plan. I will sacrifice myself, but I’ll ensure they all go down with me.”
Her initial plan was to wait until Audrey and the others arrived at the Farrell family mansion, at which point she would have someone pour the gasoline around the premises and ignite it, sealing their fate.
They would gather gasoline from around the house and ignite it, making certain that no one could escape. They would all perish together.
