Chapter 3694 – Even though Clarissa stood at the highest point and aimed at the people below, she knew she likely wouldn’t hit anyone.

She was well aware of the limitations of her pistol and her own poor eyesight. At that distance, she couldn’t even make out their faces.

With only two bullets left, who could she hit?

Just herself.

Clarissa looked at the hostage she had taken—a young woman with potential. Keeping her alive could be a threat to her daughter Kathryn’s future. Killing her might give Kathryn a better chance.

But no, even now, Kathryn might not advance.

Keeping these capable people around would only create more problems for Liberty.

Liberty’s experience was mostly in simple businesses. After her divorce, she restarted with a small breakfast shop and later a restaurant. It wasn’t until she came to Jensburg and started her new company that she entered the corporate world. Her experience was nowhere near Kathryn’s.

When Kathryn first joined the Farrell Group, many people didn’t respect her, and she faced resistance. If Liberty took charge, she would have an even harder time earning respect and keeping her position.

With this in mind, Clarissa pushed the unconscious hostage away.

The woman hit the ground, waking up from the pain. Seeing Clarissa with a gun, she panicked and backed away in fear.

Clarissa aimed the gun at her.

“Please don’t shoot! I don’t want to die!”

The woman knelt and begged for her life, terrified and helpless.

Clarissa hesitated. She didn’t want to kill her after all. Keeping these strong people around would cause Liberty more trouble.

“Get out!” Clarissa shouted, only intending to scare her.

The woman froze, shocked that Clarissa might actually let her go. Clarissa had always been ruthless.

“Don’t want to leave? Then die with me,” Clarissa taunted, pretending to shoot.

The woman didn’t wait any longer. She got up and ran downstairs as fast as she could.

Clarissa laughed. “Coward!”

As she turned her back, the police, Kathryn, and others rushed into the house.

On the stairs, they encountered the stumbling hostage.

“Where’s my mother?” Kathryn asked urgently.

The woman, trembling, replied, “She’s still on the roof.”

Kathryn let her go and sprinted toward the roof, followed by the police, all with guns drawn.

Pedro, Zachary, Lilian, and other martial arts experts joined the rush upstairs. Though others, including the elderly, followed, they didn’t dare move as quickly, afraid Clarissa might shoot them.

Meanwhile, an ambulance arrived and took Holden, who had fainted from blood loss. Marco and his brothers followed him to the hospital, taking the chance to escape the chaos. They were terrified.

They regretted not listening to their father and going back to the Janzen family’s old house earlier. If they had, they wouldn’t be in this mess.

As Kathryn reached the rooftop, she saw Clarissa pointing the gun at her own head.
