Chapter 3696 - The news of the head of the Farrell family's suicide dominated Jensburg's headlines. Reports revealed that she had killed both her sisters out of jealousy. Some even claimed she had fallen for her sister's assistant, Mr. Jimenez, and when she couldn't have him, she turned on her sister.
The whole city was buzzing with gossip.
Members of the Farrell family were overwhelmed with calls and questions. The Farrell Group was also in chaos.
Kathryn sent a message to the work group, announcing she would take a week off. She instructed senior managers to inform the company that everyone would be given a holiday. She needed time to handle her mother's funeral.
With Clarissa's death, the debts were considered settled, and Audrey and the others would not pursue anything against Kathryn.
Holden, who had been shot, was rushed to the hospital. Though he survived, the news of his wife's death didn't bring him the relief he had expected. Despite his hatred for her, they had been married for decades and had four children together. There had been some affection, but she was too controlling. After years of suffering, he cheated, leading to the breakdown of their marriage.
Holden suddenly looked ten years older, lost in grief and confusion.
With their mother gone, Marco and his brothers knew it was finally over. They arranged for someone to watch their father in the hospital, while they and Kathryn handled the funeral.
From Wiltspoon, only Audrey, Darrell, Zachary, and Clive stayed behind. Liberty and Lilian remained in Jensburg. Everyone else returned home. They had come mainly to support Mr. Jimenez and make Clarissa believe her plan was foolproof, setting her up for a downfall.
Their presence had made a big difference. Without them, it would've been harder for Zachary and the others to swap the gasoline Mr. Dunn had prepared with water or find his new hiding place for the gun. The police's sudden arrival also sped up the chain of events.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Clarissa's funeral was quiet. Almost no one from the family attended.
Audrey and the others, though younger than Clarissa, didn't attend. Clarissa had killed Audrey's parents, and she wouldn't honor her enemy, even in death.
Some of the wealthy families in Jensburg who had once been friendly with Clarissa did come, but many others distanced themselves, avoiding the funeral entirely.
Kathryn didn't expect many attendees. She was simply doing her duty as a daughter.
Holden's daughters, who had
returned to his old house earlier,
also came with their children. Even

Erika, who was in the middle of a divorce with Marco, brought her children to burn incense for Clarissa.
No matter how many mistakes Clarissa had made, to them, she was still their mother and grandmother.
The day after Clarissa was buried, Kathryn received the news of Mr. Dunn's death.
He had snuck into the Farrell family's private cemetery at night and committed suicide in front of Clarissa's grave.
From the moment Mr. Dunn came into Clarissa's life, his fate was sealed. He had lived to serve her and now, in death, he would remain by her side, even as a ghost. That was his purpose.
Mr. Dunn was not part of the Farrell family, so Kathryn buried him in a separate cemetery in Jensburg, not beside the Farrell family plot. She felt he had committed too many terrible deeds for her mother and didn't want him near their ancestors.
Back at the Queen family's house, only the older members like Audrey remained inside.
Zachary and Clive had stepped out and were each sitting in separate pavilions, chatting on the phone with their wives.
