Chapter 3642

Kathryn believed that everything belonging to the Farrell family should be returned to Audrey and the others. She completely disregarded her mother’s perspective. Fortunately for Kathryn, she was the biological daughter of the matriarch; otherwise, she would have been cast aside long ago. After sending Kathryn away, Clarissa felt a sense of relief. If she survived to see another day, she intended to send someone to bring her daughter back. Although she couldn’t see Kathryn, at least her life was spared. Among Clarissa’s four children, only Kathryn was unmarried and childless. The three sons all had families, and their wives had already taken the children back to Holden’s hometown for the New Year, per his arrangements. Holden aimed to protect his side of the family, while Clarissa wanted to safeguard Kathryn. However, since they were all her grandchildren, she did not ask her daughters-in-law to bring the children back, allowing them to stay with the Janzen family for the holiday to avoid the conflict. Holden made the right decision in this instance. He was aware of Clarissa’s ruthlessness and understood that if the children and grandchildren remained, they would be in danger. Despite his warnings, the three sons refused to leave. Clarissa pressed her lips together. Tonight, everything would hinge on fate. If they were fortunate, they might be saved. If they couldn’t escape and perished in the fire, at least she, their mother, would be with them, and many others would be buried alongside them. As dawn broke, a new day began. Kathryn, who had been knocked unconscious and sent away, regained consciousness midway through the journey. She remained still, pretending to be unconscious. Pedro was waiting for her ahead, having anticipated that Clarissa wouldn’t easily give up. Had Pedro followed Clarissa’s plan and drugged her to remove her from Jensburg, she would not have taken this step. But Pedro understood Kathryn’s intentions and

Clarissa informed her of everything. She would find another way to send Kathryn away. Kathryn appreciated Clarissa’s efforts to protect her, but she did not want to flee. She wanted to confront everything alongside her mother. Regardless of whether Clarissa was right or wrong, alive or dead, she remained Kathryn’s mother. While others might resent or hate her, Kathryn, as her daughter, could not and would not.

Pedro didn’t keep Kathryn waiting long. Soon, the car carrying her stopped, as did the bodyguard vehicle. Pedro, wearing a black mask, emerged from one of the cars, accompanied by several others, each carrying four bodyguards dressed in black. “The young lady is in their car. Take her away, but do no harm to them. Once you have her, knock them out, seize their phones, and secure them. Wait for my instructions before releasing them.” If they resisted, they would be taught a lesson to prevent any alerts to Clarissa. Pedro had brought many bodyguards, while only four were guarding Kathryn. Despite their skills, they were outmatched and quickly knocked out before they could contact Mr. Dunn. Just before losing consciousness, they saw Kathryn, whom they believed to be still unconscious, getting out of the car. It turned out Kathryn had been awake all along, and these people were sent by Mr. Fraser! It was too late for them to react. Darkness enveloped them. Pedro approached Kathryn, stood in front of her, and said respectfully, “Miss, everything is done.”
