Chapter 3689
Chapter 3689 â Clarissaâs expression changed instantly. She lowered her
phone and realized she was the one in trouble tonight.
She glared at Audrey and the others, wondering how they had set her up. They hadnât appeared
before tonight, and even when they did, they only wandered around the yard and argued with herâ
nothing serious enough to raise suspicion.
It hit Clarissa that she had fallen into their trap. Audrey and the others had given her false hope that
she could eliminate them, but it was all part of their plan, and she had walked right into it.
Now, with the police here, there was no escape. She and Mr. Dunn were stuck, and her plan to die
along with her enemies had failed. She was furious.
Her gaze swept over everyone until it landed on Liberty.
Clarissa stepped forward, smiled coldly at Liberty, then suddenly lunged, grabbing Libertyâs arm to
pull her over. Out of everyone there, Liberty seemed the least likely to fight back, so Clarissa saw
her as an easy target.
But Lilian, standing next to Liberty, reacted faster. She grabbed Libertyâs other arm and yanked her
back, foiling Clarissaâs attempt.
Frustrated, Clarissa reached out again and grabbed another woman from the Farrell family. It didnât
matter to her who it wasâshe just needed a hostage.
She then pulled out a gun she had hidden upstairs, held the woman by the neck with one hand, and
pointed the gun at her head with the other.
Her movements were quick and smooth.
Everyone moved to intervene, but Clarissa yelled, âStep back! If anyone comes closer, Iâll shoot
her!â
âMom!â Kathryn cried out.
Marco and his brothers also shouted, shocked that their mother had a gun. They had no idea she
had been carrying it. They couldnât understand why she was doing this, or what had pushed her to
such extremes. Who had called her on the phone just before this?
The police had just arrived. Taking a hostage in front of the police seemed like a desperate actâdid
their mother really have no will to live?
âSo, you did have a hidden gun, and Mr. Dunn had one at home, too,â the lead officer said gravely.
âMrs. Farrell, you canât escape. I urge you to release the hostage, put down the gun, and
surrender.â
The police had plenty of backup.
But Clarissa acted as if she couldnât hear them. She kept shouting at everyone to step back and
demanded answers from Audrey: âAudrey, what did you do?â âBack off, all of you! If anyone comes
near, Iâll kill her!â Clarissa yelled again.
âMaâamâ¦â the terrified hostage whimpered.
âShut up!â Clarissa snapped. âOr Iâll kill you right now!â
The police quickly ordered everyone to retreat, afraid Clarissa might harm the hostage in
desperation.
Except for Audrey and those who knew the real reason behind Clarissaâs extreme actions, everyone
else was confused. Was she reacting to their accusations that she had admitted to killing the
previous family head?
