The butler asked, “Ma’am, didn’t you invite the reporters?”
Why were all these reporters at the Farrell mansion if Clarissa hadn’t invited them? There hadn’t been any significant news regarding the Farrell family.
Clarissa quickly deduced who was responsible. It wasn’t her, and Kathryn had been incapacitated and sent away from Jensburg. Her husband and sons wouldn’t dare. The only one left was her dear niece, Audrey.
“Please inform the reporters that the Farrell family is having a private dinner tonight and they are not invited. Kindly ask them to leave and offer each of them a small gift.”
A little kindness might deter the reporters from fabricating stories or spreading falsehoods.
Nowadays, many reporters tend to exaggerate for clicks or write without fully grasping the facts. The Farrell family’s reputation hadn’t been solid lately, and provoking the media could result in even more negative coverage.
The butler promptly followed her instructions but soon returned with a worried expression.
“Ma’am, the reporters said it was Ms. Audrey who invited them. They’re claiming that tonight, they’ll disclose the truth about the previous matriarch’s death and that the killer has been identified. They even assert that the police will arrest the murderer tonight.”
Clarissa’s expression darkened. Audrey was attempting to ruin her in Jensburg.
“Ma’am, should we force them to leave? They’re blocking the door and causing a commotion.”
Clarissa hesitated before replying. She paced the hall for a few minutes before stopping and saying, “Since Audrey invited them, let them wait outside. When she arrives, she can handle it.”

“I didn’t invite them, and I won’t get involved,” Clarissa stated firmly.

The butler inquired, “Should we offer them anything?”

Clarissa shot him a glare. “Why would we? I said Audrey invited them, so it’s her responsibility to deal with them. This is still my house, and I’m curious to see what Audrey believes qualifies her to host here.”

“Understood,” the butler replied, fully aware of how to handle the reporters.

If they wished to wait outside, they were welcome to do so. It was cold and windy, and if they didn’t mind freezing, they could remain as long as they liked. Clarissa had made her stance clear: no hospitality would be offered. They would not be invited inside to sit. Let’s see how long they could endure the cold.

After the butler left, Clarissa settled onto the sofa and pondered the situation for a moment. She then called Mr. Dunn. When he answered, she asked, “Has Kathryn left Jensburg?”

“Yes, Ma’am. She was sent away earlier today. It’s nearly dark, and she has already reached the location you arranged.”

Clarissa sighed with relief, grateful that her daughter was safely out of Jensburg this time. “Audrey wants to ruin my reputation, so she called the reporters. Once it’s dark, we’ll proceed with our final plan. Bring out all the hidden guns. If anyone tries to escape, shoot them.”

“What about you, sir, and the young masters?” Mr. Dunn asked. “We’re awaiting your final call. Hopefully, we won’t need to resort to that plan.”
