Love at First Novel

Chapter 3564

Even if Clarissa were to die, she intended to secure her fortune before going.

This plan had a higher chance of success. Audrey and the others would try to escape, but unless they made it to the rooftop where a helicopter might be waiting, they wouldn't be able to get away. And to make sure of that, Clarissa planned to have the door to the rooftop welded shut so they couldn't escape.

Mr. Dunn was quiet for a moment before reminding Clarissa, "If that happens, the young lady may refuse to take over as head of the family. If she declines, the head of the family will have died in vain. Without a successor, the position could fall into someone else's hands."

Without hesitation, Clarissa replied, "If it comes to that, Kathryn will take over. She may be harsh, but she won't let it all slip away. Besides, the people from Wiltspoon won't all come together. Serenity won't come, and even Elisa might not show up. They're focused on grooming Liberty to take over." Serenity and Liberty still have heirs, so it would be a matter of whose descendants would take over.

Clarissa was confident Kathryn could come out on top.

Kathryn had been working with her for two years, gaining experience in running the Farrell Group and the Farrell family. She was more seasoned than Serenity and Elisa.

Clarissa also knew that Elisa wasn't interested in taking over. Her personality wasn't suited for leadership.

As for Serenity, she was pregnant. Could she really come here with a big belly to compete with Kathryn? It was unlikely. Serenity had been trying to conceive for a year after marrying Zachary, and she was very protective of this pregnancy.

"When Mr. Janzen arrives, I need to meet him."

Clarissa was eager to ask Fernando in person-did he really have no feelings for her at all?

She had been young and beautiful once. Her abilities, though not as strong as her elder sister's, were still commendable. So why did he never see her?

Mr. Dunn replied, "Madam, there's no need for you to seek him out. He'll come to you."

Clarissa paused, then smiled bitterly. "You're right."

If Fernando followed Audrey back to Jensburg, his first stop would be to pay respects to Clarissa's elder sister, and then he would confront Clarissa. How much evidence did he have against her?

Clarissa was unsure.

But it was undeniable that Fernando had been an insider back then.

Of

course, if Fernando didn't have solid proof that she killed her sister, she wouldn't admit to it, and she might even turn the tables and accuse him.

If Fernando claimed she sent assassins after him, did he have proof?

Without evidence, he couldn't do anything to her.

Who had saved Fernando back then, and were those people still alive?

Even if they were, would anyone believe them?

As Clarissa and Mr. Dunn discussed their plot over dinner, Kathryn remained unaware.

When Pedro returned, Kathryn was waiting for him. As soon as he came in, she asked, "What did my mother say to you? I'm worried she'll try to keep you from staying with me."

In her mother's eyes, Pedro was her key support. Without him by her side, Kathryn would be at a significant disadvantage.

Pedro didn't respond right away.

Instead, he poured himself a glass of water, drank it, and then sat down across from Kathryn. He took a packet of powder from his trouser pocket and handed it to her.

Kathryn took it and asked, "What's this?"

Pedro replied, “Madam asked me to mix it into your soup so you'd sleep for a while. You'd wake up naturally after everything was over."

Kathryn was about to open the packet to inspect it but hesitated.
