Chapter 3609
Mr. Dunn replied respectfully, “I always follow your orders, ma’am. I won’t act independently.”
If Clarissa chose to perish alongside her enemy, Mr. Dunn would accompany them both into the afterlife. His loyalty to his master remained unwavering in both life and death.
Mr. Jimenez was an anomaly; he had not followed his master in the past because he sought revenge.
Clarissa continued to place her trust in Mr. Dunn. She once told her daughter that while others might betray her, Mr. Dunn would never do so.
Clarissa ended the call.
Audrey and the others descended the mountain, left the Farrell family cemetery, and visited the nearby graveyard. They lit incense in honor of Audrey’s father and grandparents before returning to their taxi.
The taxi driver became anxious while waiting, as Audrey and the others took longer than expected. Had he not seen them at the other cemetery and with the gravekeepers, he might have thought they were ghosts.
As soon as Audrey and the others entered the car, the driver sped away, fearing that driving slowly might attract spirits.
Even during daylight, Jensburg’s winters were bitterly cold, and the sun rarely appeared. In the absence of sunlight, the remote cemetery felt dark and eerie, sending chills down people’s spines.
At the Queen family home, Silver Fox and other elders had arrived in Jensburg ahead of Audrey and her group. After Donald and his wife learned about their identities from their daughter, they personally visited the Fortress Hotel several times to invite them before they agreed to stay at the Queen family residence.
Along with Silver Fox and his group, the current head of the Lafayette family and his wife had also flown in from Meadspring. He…
He claimed he was there to see the snow, but no one believed him. Meadspring typically experienced heavy snowfall during winter, so there was no reason to visit Jensburg solely for that purpose. However, no one called out his deception.
The head of the Lafayette family introduced himself, greeted Zachary and the others, and joined them for dinner. Naturally, the Queen family invited him and his wife to stay at their home.
The house, usually quiet, suddenly buzzed with activity due to the arrival of these distinguished guests. Donald, who often found his home too silent, welcomed the change.
The Silver Fox group was missing only the old doctor. Although the four who attended were older than Donald, they didn’t seem as mature. Instead, they acted like playful children, reminiscent of old lady York, making Donald feel like a parent among them.
When Silver Fox discovered that Hayden was actually a woman, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed to Donald in front of Kevin, “Mr. Queen, why didn’t you tell us sooner? If we had known your eldest son was actually a daughter, we would have arranged a marriage with my most talented apprentice, Alijah. He would have been the perfect match for your daughter.”
“But that old chili from the York family got to her first. How did she figure out your eldest son was really a woman?”
Upon hearing Silver Fox refer to his grandmother as an “old chili,” Kevin frowned and said, “Senior Silver Fox, my grandmother isn’t hot-tempered at all.”
Silver Fox chuckled, “She may not be hot-tempered in front of you. She deeply loves your grandfather, and you’re her grandchildren. She only shows affection to you, so you never witness her fiery side.”
