Chapter 3691 â Clarissa dragged the unconscious hostage upstairs and
made her way to the roof.
From there, she could see that the crowd had backed far away, and her gun had limited range,
making it hard to hit anyone. However, she shouted down, threatening to shoot if anyone
approached the house.
Since her hostage was unconscious, Clarissa had her hands free to call Mr. Dunn, asking him to
come rescue her. She didnât want to die or take everyone with herâshe wanted to escape. She had
a small helicopter and thought if Mr. Dunn flew it over, he could help her get away.
Meanwhile, the police had already called for backup, including snipers.
âMom, let her go! Put down the gun, please! Donât make another mistake,â Kathryn pleaded, running
fearlessly toward the house. She begged her mother not to try and escape because it was
pointless. There was no way out for Clarissa tonight.
Clarissa looked down at Kathryn, briefly considering shooting her own daughter. Pedro watched
anxiously, ready to protect Kathryn, even if it meant risking his own life.
But Clarissa hesitated. She couldnât bring herself to shoot Kathryn, even though they didnât share
the same values or mindset. Kathryn had been raised in a different environment, and Clarissa had
to admit that Kathrynâs values were more positive than her own.
Kathryn wasnât weak. Though she appeared soft, she was tough and strategic, and Clarissa had
underestimated her. If Kathryn had been raised by her side, she wouldâve been an excellent
successor, capable of restoring the Farrell family to its former glory.
But despite everything, Kathryn and Pedro were strong enough to succeed in life without the family
fortune.
Clarissa had made many mistakes, and most people wanted her to fail. She had lost to her older
sister in many ways, but in Kathryn, she found a small source of prideâher daughter was not
inferior to her sisterâs descendants.
No matter how angry Clarissa was, she couldnât shoot Kathryn for real. But scaring her? That, she
could do.
As Kathryn approached the house, Clarissa fired a shot at her feet. Startled, Pedro pulled Kathryn
back, and they both tumbled to the ground.
Liberty and Zachary rushed to help them up. Liberty, pulling Kathryn back, warned her, âYour mother
is desperate and unstable. Donât go in recklessly. She might not think about your relationship.â
After all, Kathryn had only been with Clarissa for less than three years, and their bond wasnât
strong. Clarissa had initially favored Shiloh, and only later showed interest in Kathryn.
Liberty feared Clarissa might actually shoot her daughter.
Audrey also grabbed Kathrynâs arm, agreeing with Liberty. âSheâs right, Kathryn. You shouldnât go in.
Look at what your mother didâshe shot your father without hesitation. Sheâs not in her right mind.â
Holden had been shot and passed out from the pain.
Marco and his brothers were stunned. They never expected their mother to shoot their father.
