Chapter 3685 – Grandpa Fontaine shook hands with Ezequiel,

Dakota, and the others, saying, “I never thought I’d see you all again. You cheated me so many

times back in the day, I’ll never forget it. Even if you turned to ashes, I’d still recognize you.”

Ezequiel laughed and replied, “Cheating? You came to us for favors but didn’t want to pay. Did you

expect us to work for free?”

“Mr. Fontaine, you’re a good man, but nothing comes for free,” he added.

Grandpa Fontaine chuckled and said, “Let’s not talk about money. You tricked me plenty of times—I

got caught in your traps more than once.”

After their playful exchange, Grandpa Fontaine spoke loudly to the crowd, “I can confirm that these

men are the leaders of the Five Emperors Hall, though they retired decades ago. Their apprentices

have taken over since then. I never thought I’d see these brothers again in my lifetime.”

Mr. Fontaine glanced at Zachary and his companions. He told Zachary, “You remind me of your

grandfather, but your serious way of handling things is more like your grandmother.”

Turning to Audrey, he said, “Do you remember me? You used to visit my house with your mother

and Uncle Jimenez. My wife liked you a lot—she even wanted you to marry my second son… but

fate had other plans.” Audrey replied apologetically, “I don’t remember much from my childhood, Mr.

Fontaine.”

As an adult, Audrey didn’t even recall being part of the Farrell family from Jensburg. Her childhood

memories consisted of living in a big house with many servants and being driven around in a car.

Her clearest memory was of her sister, Harlow. They were each other’s only family, especially after

being in the orphanage together. When Harlow was adopted, Audrey clung to their shared photo,

hoping to reunite with her someday. Sadly, it was too late.

“It’s alright,” Mr. Fontaine said gently. “That’s all in the past. There will be better days ahead.”

“Yes, better days,” Audrey agreed.

Grandpa Fontaine then looked at Liberty and the others, turning to Mr. Jimenez. “The descendants

of your master have turned out well. She would be proud.” Mr. Jimenez replied, “She can only rest

in peace once her murderer is brought to justice.”

Grandpa Fontaine nodded, then looked at Clarissa with a stern expression. “I’ve suspected you

before, but without evidence, I couldn’t act. The most I could do was cut ties with the Farrell family.”

Indeed, the Fontaine family had severed all business ties with the Farrells. They didn’t ruin them,

out of respect for the former matriarch, but they no longer worked together.

Mr. Fontaine then asked, “Now, the victims have presented evidence and witnesses. Clarissa, what

do you have to say?”

Clarissa responded coldly, “You’ve all teamed up to corner me, forcing me to confess. What do you

expect me to say? Even if I deny killing my sisters, will you believe me? I’m the only one of the three

still alive. They died in unexpected ways, and no matter how I try to explain, no one will listen.”

Mr. Fontaine stared at her. “You’re nothing like your daughter.”

Clarissa glanced at Kathryn, wondering if she had done something. But Kathryn seemed calm and

showed no signs of betrayal.
