Chapter 3692 – Seeing Clarissa fire at Kathryn, her three sons were too scared to move closer, fearing she might shoot them too, ignoring their family bond. They stayed by Holden’s side, waiting for the ambulance to take him to the hospital.

Kathryn, with tears in her eyes, looked up at Clarissa, who stood by the stair railing. Breaking free from Audrey’s hold, she ran forward, knelt down, and begged, “Mom, please, don’t make any more mistakes. I’m your unfilial daughter—take it out on me, but let the hostages go. Put down the gun and come down.”

She pleaded desperately, “Mom, think about the kindness your sisters showed you, the regrets you’ve had all these years. Think about me, my brothers, your grandchildren. Please, turn back, Mom!” Tears streamed down Kathryn’s face. She couldn’t bear to see her mother continue down this destructive path.

Clarissa couldn’t escape now. She heard the police calling for snipers to arrive, and she knew they’d shoot her. Kathryn didn’t want to see her mother killed, so she begged Clarissa to surrender.

Pedro knelt beside Kathryn, and soon Mr. Jimenez and Audrey joined in, urging Clarissa to release the hostage and put down the gun.

Mr. Jimenez said, “Clarissa, look at your daughter. She’s kneeling and begging you, her forehead is nearly bleeding. She’s in her twenties and sees things more clearly than you. Can’t you let go of your stubbornness?

Everyone makes mistakes, but refusing to admit them is the real failure. Clarissa, wake up. Release the hostages, put down the gun, come down, and face the consequences. Only then can you honor the years your sister spent raising and educating you. You had so much, and if you hadn’t been greedy, you’d still be happy. You’ve caused your own downfall.”

A megaphone was handed to Mr. Jimenez, but he was too exhausted to continue after speaking for so long, so he passed it to Zachary.

Zachary, now holding the megaphone, spoke to Clarissa, “Mrs. Farrell, don’t count on your assistant to save you. He can’t even save himself. Your private helicopter is no longer an option. We’ve already made arrangements to trap you.

You can’t escape tonight. Even with your gun, how many bullets do you have left? You can’t kill us all. Stop this pointless fight. Put down your gun, let the hostages go, and come down. You might even get a lighter sentence.”

Though his words about a lighter sentence weren’t true, given everything Clarissa had done, there was no chance of leniency.

The police took the megaphone from Zachary and continued to persuade Clarissa. They were armed, but with hostages involved, they couldn’t risk rushing in.

Clarissa stood on the roof, looking down at everyone below. Zachary’s words hit her hard. Was her helicopter really unusable? Had Mr. Dunn lost his ability to carry out his plans, and was he unable to retrieve the guns he had hidden? Was he truly in danger now?
