Chapter 3623

– Clarissa was at a loss for words.

The police officer said, “Mrs. Farrell, please contact Mr. Dunn.”

Clarissa responded, “Okay, I’ll call him right away.”

She dialed Mr. Dunn and informed him to come immediately, explaining that the police suspected he was hiding firearms and needed his cooperation for their investigation.

Mr. Dunn was taken aback by the call.

Apart from the pistol Clarissa concealed, the other firearms were outdated hunting rifles. Although hunting rifles are illegal to possess and must be surrendered if discovered, reporting them could result in a prison sentence.

Mr. Dunn shared Clarissa’s concerns.

They had kept the weapons hidden for a long time without informing anyone.

Even though their plan involved luring Liberty and her group to the Farrell family mansion, where they would either burn it down or shoot Liberty, Audrey, and the others, Mr. Dunn had never removed the hidden rifle. Only he and Clarissa were aware of the guns’ existence.

How did the police find out?

Could someone in his circle have betrayed him?

Yet, even his closest associates were unaware of the firearms.

Could someone in Wiltspoon have reported them?

If that were the case, it would be alarming.

Although Mr. Dunn underestimated the people of Wiltspoon, he was not overly concerned. He believed that with their combined skills, he and Clarissa could navigate this crisis and preserve her status as matriarch.

However, doubts began to creep in about their ability to succeed.

Ultimately, Clarissa could lose her position, face disgrace, and encounter legal repercussions. Considering her age, could she endure prison?

While the people of Wiltspoon were powerful and affluent, they did not resort to illegal methods.

If Clarissa attempted anything unlawful,

Audrey would likely seek revenge and assert her position as the rightful eldest daughter of the Farrell family in Jensburg. They would not jeopardize their future for revenge; instead, they would pursue justice for the former matriarch through legal channels, gathering evidence against Clarissa to ensure she faced legal consequences. In this way, Audrey could also achieve her own sense of retribution.

If Audrey and the others were aware of the guns, they would undoubtedly report it to the police. Mr. Dunn contemplated relocating the hidden rifle to a different spot, knowing the police would likely search his residence soon. It was possible they had already been there but couldn’t locate him and had contacted the Farrell Group through Clarissa. However, moving the guns posed a risk, as it could attract unwanted attention and lead to their discovery.

Mr. Dunn decided to take a chance, hoping that Audrey and the others were merely speculating without any concrete evidence. Yet, that notion felt off as well. If they reported him without proof, they would be held accountable. Based on his experiences with Liberty and the others, if they did report him, it was likely they had evidence and might even know the gun’s hiding place.

He realized he couldn’t leave things as they were. While on the phone, Mr. Dunn had already considered numerous possibilities. He concluded that the police probably didn’t know the exact location of the gun; otherwise, they would have already searched it.

“Ma’am, I’ll return to the company right away,” Mr. Dunn replied respectfully.
