Love at First Novel

Chapter 3607

Mr. Jimenez and Audrey had no intention of presenting evidence that Clarissa killed the previous matriarch Farrell at this time or place. They didn’t just want justice; they wanted everyone in Jensburg to see Clarissa’s true nature and destroy her reputation. But with only a few people around, their impact would be limited, and they risked Clarissa destroying the evidence. Audrey and Darrell helped Mr. Jimenez as they approached Clarissa. Audrey said coldly, “Don’t worry, we have both evidence and witnesses for the awful things you’ve done. You’ll get what you deserve. Dr. Carden, let’s head to the hotel. Liberty and the others are waiting for us to have dinner.” Lilian nodded. As they passed by, Mr. Jimenez stopped and looked at Clarissa with hatred, though his voice was calm. He said, “I served the previous matriarch Farrell in life, and I belong to her in death. To me, you’re just her sister. If she hadn’t loved you and the third young madam so much, I wouldn’t even want to look at you. How can you compare to her? You’re ungrateful and will never be as good as your sister!” He added, “She raised you like her own child, but you showed no love for her in return. A dog would have been more loyal than you.” After speaking, Mr. Jimenez turned away, not wanting to look at Clarissa any longer. Audrey added, “Your husband cheated on you, your biological daughter disagrees with you, your three sons are failures, your son’s marriage is falling apart, and your adopted daughter, whom you cared for over 20 years, died because of you. This is all karma. “You’re heartless and ungrateful. You killed my parents and my third aunt. God sees everything. You and your family will pay for your wrongdoings.” Clarissa’s face darkened. She said nothing, only glaring at Audrey and the others as they walked away. Mr. Jimenez’s words hurt—he said a dog was better than her, and he would only acknowledge her because of her sister. She wondered why Mr. Jimenez, who watched her grow up, never had feelings for her. She was younger and just as attractive as her sister, so why did he never care for her?

Clarissa clenched her fists. She knew Mr. Jimenez was right—she was ungrateful. Audrey said she’d be punished, and it was true. Her husband betrayed her after decades of marriage, and her sons depended on her too much. Without her, they’d soon fall apart, maybe even be ruined by others. Her adopted daughter’s death was her greatest sorrow, and her biological daughter, Kathryn, though capable, didn’t share her views. But so what? Clarissa sneered. As long as she was alive, she wouldn’t give up. She wouldn’t step down as head of the family. If she had to go down, she’d take others with her. If she couldn’t live well, neither would they. She pulled out her phone and called Mr. Dunn, but he didn’t answer. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
