Chapter 3608
Married at First Sight
Mr. Dunn not answering Clarissaâs call worried her. He never ignored her calls, so if he didnât 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.
âMr. Dunn, did something go wrong?â Clarissa asked quietly.
âNo,â Mr. Dunn replied.
âNo? I just called you, and you didnât answer. Why didnât you follow our plan?â Clarissa demanded, suspicious.
Mr. Dunn explained, âI was busy evacuating everyone and didnât have time to answer. It seems they saw through our plan and made countermeasures. If we proceed, weâll fail and be caught in the act, which would be very bad for us.â
âYou mean they have people near the cemetery, waiting for us to make a move so they can catch us?â Clarissa asked.
âYes,â Mr. Dunn confirmed.
Clarissaâs face darkened further. âWe planned this carefully, just the two of us. How did they know?
Is there a traitor among your people?â
It was frustrating to miss such a good opportunity. The next time she saw Mr. Jimenez, heâd 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.
âFind out if thereâs a traitor,â Clarissa ordered. âI want to know if someone betrayed us or if theyâre just that powerful.â
Mr. Dunn didnât believe there was a traitor but wasnât sure. If there wasnât, 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.
âMaâam, Iâll find out,â Mr. Dunn promised. âHave you confirmed it was Mr. Jimenez?â âIâd recognize him even if he turned to ashes,â Clarissa replied. âItâs him, without a doubt.â
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 didnât bother her, but it did him. While other men would have appreciated her youth, Mr. Jimenez didnât care. Still, she was drawn to him. Clarissa continued, âAudrey 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 thereâs no other choice left.â
