Love at First Novel

Chapter 3608

Mr. Dunn not answering Clarissa’s call worried her. He never ignored her calls, so if he didn’t pick up, it meant he was either injured, under control, or busy dealing with something. She called again, and after a moment, Mr. Dunn answered. “Mr. Dunn, did something go wrong?” Clarissa asked quietly. “No,” Mr. Dunn replied. “No? I just called you, and you didn’t answer. Why didn’t you follow our plan?” Clarissa demanded, suspicious. Mr. Dunn explained, “I was busy evacuating everyone and didn’t have time to answer. It seems they saw through our plan and made countermeasures. If we proceed, we’ll fail and be caught in the act, which would be very bad for us.” “You mean they have people near the cemetery, waiting for us to make a move so they can catch us?” Clarissa asked. “Yes,” Mr. Dunn confirmed. Clarissa’s face darkened further. “We planned this carefully, just the two of us. How did they know? Is there a traitor among your people?” It was frustrating to miss such a good opportunity. The next time she saw Mr. Jimenez, he’d have more protection, making it even harder to act without hurting herself. The only option left would be to go down with them, which was the worst-case scenario she wanted to avoid. “Find out if there’s a traitor,” Clarissa ordered. “I want to know if someone betrayed us or if they’re just that powerful.” Mr. Dunn didn’t believe there was a traitor but wasn’t sure. If there wasn’t, it would mean their opponents had an incredibly strong information network, which was even more concerning. He hoped it was a betrayal rather than facing such a formidable enemy. “Ma’am, I’ll find out,” Mr. Dunn promised. “Have you confirmed it was Mr. Jimenez?” “I’d recognize him even if he turned to ashes,” Clarissa replied. “It’s him, without a doubt.” Mr. Jimenez was the only man Clarissa had ever truly loved, though he never loved her back. To him, she was always just a child, even as she grew older. The age difference of over 20 years didn’tText content © NôvelDrama.Org.

bother her, but it did him. While other men would have appreciated her youth, Mr. Jimenez didn’t care. Still, she was drawn to him. Clarissa continued, “Audrey said she has both evidence and witnesses. Besides Mr. Jimenez, is there anyone else? Look into it carefully, and remember, only use the worst option when there’s no other choice left.”
