Married at First Sight

Chapter 3618

– Hayden, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke up, “Dr. Carden, why don’t you go back to the house to rest? The guest rooms are ready. I’ll walk around with the others and then head back. It’s too cold out here.” She was concerned that the visitors from Wiltspoon, who were used to milder winter temperatures, might struggle with the harsh cold of Jensburg. Even Sonny, who missed Liberty, didn’t want to stay long after the winter break. He went to FC Manor with Serenity because Jensburg’s winter was too cold for him. A short visit to see the snow and build a snowman was fine, but staying for an extended period wasn’t ideal. Lilian, having just finished a mint candy, said, “I’ve enjoyed the scenery of your Queen family estate. Let’s take a quick walk around and head back. Those men are probably still deep in business talk.” The men, being leaders in their fields, had plenty to discuss and rarely saw each other. Despite gathering to confront Clarissa, they valued this brief time together. So, what started as a two-person walk turned into a five-person stroll with lively conversation. Meanwhile, Clarissa was far from relaxed. After leaving her private cemetery and returning to the city, she planned to go straight to the Farrell family mansion to confront her biological daughter and possibly tip her off. But then she received a call from her secretary, urgently asking her to return to the office because the police had arrived in large numbers. Why were the police there? Clarissa felt a wave of dread. Her people had hidden guns—had Liberty’s group found out and reported her? But then she remembered that except for one pistol she had hidden, all the other weapons were in Mr. Dunn’s possession. This thought calmed her. The pistol she had hidden was a secret known to no one, not even her closest confidants or her children. She had never used it, having acquired it during a more lenient time, and she kept it well- concealed.

There was no way Liberty’s people could know about it unless they had some supernatural abilities like x-ray vision or mind reading. Clarissa asked the secretary in a steady voice, “Did the police say what they wanted to talk to me about?” The secretary replied, “Ma’am, they didn’t tell me anything specific. They just asked me to notify you to come back to the company, or they would meet you wherever you are. They seemed very serious.” It was as if they were there to arrest someone. The secretary suspected their boss might have been involved in something illegal, which had drawn the police’s attention, but she didn’t dare voice this thought. Clarissa had been in a foul mood lately, making everyone at the company nervous and on edge whenever she was around. Even her three sons had been lying low, trying to avoid her wrath. “I understand. I’ll head back now,” Clarissa said, confident that her hidden guns were safe from discovery. She assumed the police visit was probably due to a report Liberty had made about some wrongdoing at Farrell Group. But without evidence, she wasn’t worried. After all, despite accusations from Audrey and Old Mr. Jimenez that she was responsible for her sister’s death, they had no proof. No matter how much they accused her, she refused to admit anything. Without an admission, what could they do to her? Clarissa wasn’t afraid of being slandered; she had endured it for the past forty or fifty years and was still living well. Many people hadn’t lived as comfortably as she had. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
