Married at First Sight

Clarissa knew that Kathryn still had a conscience and strong moral values. If Kathryn knew Clarissa privately owned guns, she might kill her in the name of justice. That would be a fate worse than death for Clarissa-she'd be ridiculed endlessly. Such mockery would be her comeuppance, all at the hands of Kathryn.

Just last night, she had fallen into Kathryn's grasp.

Kathryn had clearly drunk the water, even if it was just a sip. The amount of drug Clarissa added was enough to knock Kathryn out for days.

Who would have thought that not long after Pedro took Kathryn away, Liberty got the news?

Immediately after, Clive flew to Jensburg overnight.

Clarissa knew it was Kathryn who had informed Liberty.

After Pedro took Kathryn away, he didn't take her home but to the hospital. The doctor identified the drug and treated her promptly, so Kathryn quickly recovered. Clarissa had her sons visit Kathryn with breakfast laced with sleeping pills.

However, Kathryn wasn't fooled and refused to eat the breakfast they brought.

Well.

Clarissa sighed inwardly, feeling like she was already facing retribution.

Kathryn didn't agree with her.

She knew Kathryn would sacrifice even her own family for justice.

Clarissa thought that if she and Audrey really fought to the death, it would probably be Kathryn who would ultimately bring her down.

If Kathryn had grown up by her side, Clarissa would have handed over the Farrell family to her long ago and retired to enjoy her grandchildren.

With the news out, Clarissa and Assistant Dunn discussed her options: either wait for the truth to come out and openly confront Audrey, or shoot Liberty and Clive immediately.

After entering Liberty's company, Clarissa left the small pistol in the car and didn't take it with her.

Liberty was guarding against her like a thief.

Even if she wanted to shoot, she probably wouldn't succeed in killing Liberty with one shot.

As expected, Liberty's bodyguards didn't allow Clarissa's people to follow her into the office. The bodyguard named Jim eyed her sharply, as if checking for hidden weapons.

Jim had been Zachary's personal bodyguard. When Liberty came to Jensburg, Zachary assigned his best guard to her.

Clarissa was somewhat glad she changed her mind at the last minute.

Assistant Dunn suggested hiring mercenaries, changing identities, disguising themselves, and sneaking into Jensburg to find an opportunity to kill Liberty and Clive.

If one person came from Wiltspoon, they would kill one. If two came, they would kill both. Even if they were eventually punished by the law, killing so many people would be a victory.

The main reason was that if Audrey's two nieces (Serenity and Liberty) and her biological daughter (Elisa) were all gone, even if Clarissa were sentenced to death, the Farrell family would fall to the head of the family's branch. Kathryn didn't know about their plan.

Kathryn could take over the Farrell family.

Clarissa wanted to fight to the death with the people from Wiltspoon mainly because she didn't want to hand over the Farrell family, which she had run for decades, to her eldest sister's descendants.

Clarissa was waiting for Assistant Dunn to complete the task.

In the next few days, she had to do some things to make the people from Wiltspoon nervous, prompting Audrey to come over.

Once everyone was gathered, she could deal with them all at once.

"Liberty, your bodyguards are standing at your office door. Are you treating me like a thief?"

As soon as Clarissa came in, she spoke to Liberty.

"I am your grandmother."

Clarissa emphasized her status as an elder.

She looked at Liberty and Clive, "Don't you two cousins have manners? When I arrived, you didn't even say hello or invite me to sit down."

Liberty pointed to a seat indifferently, "Then please have a seat, Grandma."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Snort."

Clarissa sat down and said, "Your parents died early, so no one taught you manners. Forget it, Clive, you are the eldest son of the Stone family, but you don't know etiquette. Do you not respect me as your grandmother, or does your Stone family lack proper education?"
