Married At First Sight Chapter 3671
Chapter 3671
Clarissa said coldly, “Don’t worry about it. Audrey can invite whoever she wants. I’m not scared. She just wants to destroy my reputation. But after all these years of being gossiped about, do I even have a reputation left?”
Two years ago, Kathryn and Shiloh had swapped identities, making Clarissa and the Farrell family the laughingstock of Jensburg.
Thinking about it, Clarissa realized she had no reputation left to protect. She didn’t care about that anymore, but she did fear complete ruin.
Still, they had no proof, and she wasn’t about to confess to anything.
“Tonight, we’ll send them all packing,” she said firmly.
Marco and his brothers exchanged glances, all thinking the same thing: their mother seemed confident everything was under control.
Suddenly, Holden ran in shouting, “Clarissa, Clarissa!”
Clarissa frowned, glaring at him. “You’re in your seventies! Why are you acting so panicked?” she snapped.
Holden, still pointing at Kathryn and gesturing outside, stammered, “She, she… Clarissa, there are two Kathryns! Didn’t we only have one daughter?”
He finally managed to speak clearly. He had gone outside to see if the reporters knew anything, but then a car pulled up at the gate of the mansion.
He thought it was Audrey and her group arriving, but when the door opened, Kathryn and Pedro stepped out.
Holden was shocked. He had just seen Kathryn and his sons inside the house—how could there be another Kathryn?
Was he imagining things? Or was one of the Kathryns an imposter?
The Kathryn who got out of the car was with Pedro, and Holden believed she was the real one. Which meant the Kathryn in the house was a fake.
Had Clarissa arranged this fake Kathryn, or was she a spy from their enemies?
Clarissa’s face darkened as she heard this, and she angrily scolded Holden, “What are you babbling about? There’s only one Kathryn. She’s our only daughter.”
Their other daughter, who was adopted, had died.
Holden insisted, “I’m serious! I saw two Kathryns. The one with Mr. Fraser just arrived. This one here is an imposter. We need to take control of her—maybe Audrey and her group sent her!”
Holden then directed his sons to restrain the fake Kathryn.
Marco and his brothers were confused. How could there be two Kathryns? Could the one in front of them really be a fake?
The Kathryn they saw was calm and composed, showing no signs of panic. Her speech, mannerisms, and walk were just like the real Kathryn’s. How could she not be their sister?
Even though they had favored Shiloh and felt resentment toward Kathryn after Shiloh’s death, Kathryn had been back for more than two years, and they saw her every day. It didn’t seem possible that they’d mistake her for someone else.
Clarissa suddenly realized something and rushed outside, with Holden following behind her, still insisting, “I’m telling you, it’s true! There are two Kathryns.”
At the front of the house, Clarissa froze. She saw Kathryn and Pedro walking toward the mansion.
It was really her.
Clarissa’s blood boiled with frustration. It had been so difficult to send Kathryn away, and now she had come back! This stubborn girl!
Why couldn’t Kathryn understand her mother’s love? As long as she stayed away, there was always a chance for a better future.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3672
Chapter 3672
Clarissa’s body trembled as she realized that saving Kathryn was the key to keeping their family’s future secure.
Holden pointed to Kathryn as she walked toward them and said, “Look, isn’t that our daughter? And that’s Mr. Fraser, the assistant you arranged for her. The one inside must be fake. There’s no Mr. Fraser with her in there. I wondered why I hadn’t seen him all day.”
He felt deceived. The fake Kathryn had acted so convincingly that even he, her father, didn’t notice.
“Mom,” Kathryn said as she approached, standing in front of Clarissa. “I told you, I’m your daughter, and I’ll face whatever comes with you. No matter the outcome, I’ll stand by your side. Don’t try to send me away again—I won’t leave. ‘Escape’ isn’t in my vocabulary.”
Clarissa was so furious that her face turned pale. She raised her hand as if to slap Kathryn, but when Kathryn didn’t flinch, she froze, leaving her hand in midair.
“You… you really are my stubborn daughter!” Clarissa said through gritted teeth. “Why did I give birth to someone like you? You’ll drive me to an early grave, cutting years off my life!”
Kathryn had closed her eyes, bracing for the slap that never came. When she opened them, she said calmly, “Mom, I know you’re doing this for me, but I can’t accept it. We have to face the consequences, whatever they may be. If we’re wrong, we should own up to it. If we’ve been wronged, we need to clear our names. Running away won’t solve anything.”
Clarissa was speechless. Furious, she stormed back into the house, walking upstairs to her study and locking the door.
Holden finally realized that the Kathryn inside was indeed fake—a stand-in Clarissa had arranged to protect their real daughter. Clarissa had gone to great lengths to save Kathryn, even deceiving her own family.
The revelation left Holden feeling cold.
“Dad, what’s going on with Mom? Who’s real and who’s fake?” Marco asked, confused.
Without warning, Holden slapped Marco, then did the same to his other two sons, leaving them stunned.
Afterward, he yelled, “Get out! All of you, get out of this mansion! I don’t want to see you tonight, or I’ll cut you off completely!”
Marco and his brothers stood there, shocked and confused, not understanding why they were being punished.
Kathryn, still calm, said, “Dad, if you’re afraid, take my brothers and leave. This is the Farrell family’s issue, a feud between two generations. You don’t carry the Farrell name, so you don’t need to be involved. No one will blame you for walking away.”
As Kathryn moved to enter the house, the butler rushed over and stopped her.
“Miss, they’re here. Audrey and her people just arrived. There are so many cars—they’ve blocked the whole road.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3673
Married At First Sight Chapter 3673 – After hearing the butler, Kathryn paused, then turned and walked towards the mansion door.
Pedro followed her naturally.
Holden suddenly noticed how confidently his real daughter walked. The stand-in looked similar to her but lacked that same authority in her stride.
He was frustrated for not realizing sooner that the daughter at home was an imposter. If he had known earlier that Clarissa was still planning something drastic, he would have sent his three sons away sooner. Now, it might be too late to escape.
Kathryn had said that if Clarissa scared them, they should leave.
After Clarissa and Kathryn left, the butler followed. Holden told the three sons, “Now you see, your mother only wants to save your sister and doesn’t care about you three. I’m the only one who does. I told you to go back to my hometown or skip tonight’s dinner, but you didn’t listen.
Can you leave now? If you do, what will Audrey and the others think? It will ruin your mother’s plan, and you’ll be in trouble.”
Marco and his brothers were speechless. They understood now. Realizing that Kathryn at home was a stand-in, they finally saw how their parents favored their sister.
Their mother wasn’t just showing favoritism toward a daughter—she was protecting the future of the family. Kathryn was the successor.
It wasn’t about favoring daughters over sons, but about preserving the family’s leadership through Kathryn, ensuring the Farrell family stayed in her line.
So, what if they were sons?
Even if there were more of them, their mother wouldn’t show as much love.
“Dad, I’m sorry. We didn’t understand and were too hopeful,” Marco apologized to Holden, then quietly asked, “Dad, do you know Mom’s plan? What is she planning? Is she going to poison everyone?”
Holden wanted to answer but suddenly felt someone’s cold stare. He instinctively looked and saw it was Clarissa, who had gone upstairs, angry with Kathryn.
He quickly lowered his head and whispered to his sons, “Your mother is downstairs now. You can’t leave, but there’s still a way to survive. Tonight, stay close to Kathryn.”
Even if his wife was furious with their daughter, she would still protect her if something happened. So, it would be safe for his sons to stick with Kathryn.
Besides, Kathryn had Pedro with her. He was strong and could find a way to protect her.
If they stayed with Kathryn, could she really watch her brothers die?
Holden left his sons and approached Clarissa with a smile. “Clarissa, the butler said your niece and others are here. There are so many people, and cars are lined up outside. Kathryn went out to welcome them.
Should we go out too? They are honored guests, and your niece is the daughter of the previous matriarch. If the former matriarch were still alive, your niece would probably be sitting in your place now.”
Clarissa glared at Holden coldly and replied, “Don’t stir things up. She’s already willing to fight me to the end without your help. I’m the elder, and no matter her status in Wiltspoon, she’s still younger than me. Do you expect me to go out and greet her?”
Clarissa walked to the sofa and sat down, not bothering to greet Audrey and the others.
However, she ordered her three sons, “Marco, what are you and your brothers doing standing there like statues? Go greet your cousin.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3674
Married At First Sight Chapter 3674 – The three brothers respectfully replied and quickly left.
Audrey and the others stepped out of their cars when Kathryn came out.
Mr. Jimenez, being very old, took his time getting out.
Zachary and Clive stood on either side of the car door, waiting for him. When Mr. Jimenez opened the door, they both leaned in to help. “Take it slow, Grandpa Jimenez. No rush, take your time.”
For Zachary and Clive, the Farrell Family Mansion was just Clarissa’s home. But for Mr. Jimenez, it was filled with memories. It was where his master had lived her entire life—born, raised, and later becoming the head of the mansion. Mr. Jimenez had spent decades by his master’s side. Though he never lived there, he visited often. Today, he was returning to a place that felt like home.
“You don’t need to help me. I can get out by myself. I’m in no rush,” Mr. Jimenez said, though he was clearly excited.
His hands and feet trembled slightly—not just from excitement but because of his age. It was common for the elderly to experience this.
Still, Zachary and Clive carefully helped him out of the car.
Once out, Lilian stepped forward to check Mr. Jimenez’s pulse. He smiled and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I won’t rest until I see Clarissa’s downfall.”
“Stop saying that, Uncle Jimenez. You’ll live to be a hundred—no, a hundred and twenty!” Audrey joked, quickly correcting herself since Mr. Jimenez was already close to a hundred.
Mr. Jimenez smiled. “I just want to make it to a hundred.”
He was determined to live long enough to help the late matriarch get justice and see the end of her murderer. After that, the purpose that had driven him for decades would be fulfilled, and he wouldn’t care about life or death anymore.
But as long as he was alive, he would take care of Audrey’s children and grandchildren, watching over them as the late matriarch would have.
He had lived a long life—longer than most—and had no regrets.
Ezequiel (Silver Fox), Dakota (the thief), and others got out of their vehicles as well, smiling as they joined the conversation: “Brother, you have to live to a hundred and twenty. We all need to live long. There are still many young ones unmarried. If we don’t nag them every day, they’ll end up like us old bachelors.”
Bianca, who had just arrived in Jensburg that day, quietly said to Sariyah, “Sister Sariyah, ever since you and Sister Lilian got married, us single ones have been getting nagged to marry every day. It’s not just once a day either—they call morning, noon, and night! It feels like a constant reminder.”
“They’ve been bachelors all their lives, living carefree. But now that they’re old, they’re the ones pressuring us to get married.”
Sariyah smiled and replied, “You’ll get used to it. Your family will sort it out for you. While your master may not worry about your marriage, your fellow disciples do seem to stress Uncle Ezequiel out.”
Sariyah knew Bianca’s background well.
Bianca was also from a wealthy family, holding a high position in the family business. Even if her master wasn’t concerned about her, her family still was. But Bianca was young and capable, so her family likely wasn’t in a hurry to marry her off.
Unless she found a family that was a perfect match for the Du family—where the man was suitable, and the family had strong values—then they might start urging her to marry.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3675
Chapter 3675
Mr. Jimenez smiled and said, “I’m trying my best. I want to live long enough to see Serenity’s baby born and Elisa get married and have a child. Before, I had only one wish, but now I’m getting a little greedy.”
Mr. Jimenez returned to Audrey’s side. Audrey, who used to need his support, was now entering old age and about to become a grandmother. With so many younger relatives, all of whom treated him with respect, he felt content as an elder.
Mr. Jimenez thought, if he could live a few more years, he would love to see the happiness of the descendants of the former matriarch. When he eventually passed away and met her again, he would have wonderful stories to share about the younger generations.
Audrey and Darrell stepped forward, replacing Zachary and Clive, supporting Mr. Jimenez on either side. Ezequiel and Dakota followed, with the younger generation walking behind them.
“Cousin, you’re here,” Kathryn said as she approached with Pedro and the butler, smiling as she greeted Audrey.
Audrey and her group paused.
Mr. Jimenez looked at Kathryn, and she looked back at him.
Kathryn quickly smiled and said, “Cousin, this must be Mr. Jimenez, my aunt’s assistant. I just heard my mother mention him recently.”
Though Mr. Jimenez appeared a bit frail, his spirit seemed strong. Despite his fragile appearance, it was remarkable that he had lived nearly a century. His health was better than they had expected.
Audrey first glanced at Pedro, then at Kathryn, and coldly asked, “Are you real or fake? Mr. Fraser is real.”
Kathryn smiled and replied, “Mr. Fraser is loyal only to me, just like Mr. Jimenez was always loyal to my aunt.” This was her way of saying she was genuine. However, inside, she felt uneasy. Her cousin, Audrey, and the others were impressive. When she was sent away by her mother, a substitute had been arranged, and Audrey and the group were aware of it.
Mr. Jimenez squinted at Kathryn and asked Audrey, “Is this Clarissa’s daughter?”
Audrey had told him that Clarissa had three sons and one daughter, but the daughter was swapped at birth by the butler. The butler’s daughter grew up in the Farrell family and was deeply loved by Clarissa’s family. The truth was only discovered a few years ago.
The real daughter returned to the Farrell family, but struggled to fit in. Kathryn, pretending to be meek and harmless, fooled many into thinking she was weak. In reality, she was sharp and shrewd, more than people realized.
Audrey had mentioned that if Clarissa hadn’t killed her own sister, she and Kathryn might have gotten along well, despite the large age difference.
Audrey admired Kathryn to some extent, and Kathryn, in turn, appreciated her. Audrey, though retired, still had strong connections and could help the Stone Group if needed.
When Clive took over, many senior figures in business respected him because of Audrey. The Stone Group grew stronger, though it couldn’t surpass the York Corporation. It was still one of the most powerful in Wiltspoon.
In the past, the two groups were bitter rivals. But after Serenity married into the York family, the tension between the families lessened. They still competed in business, but the life-and-death rivalry had eased.
“Hello, Mr. Jimenez. I’m Kathryn,” she said, extending her right hand respectfully.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3676
Chapter 3676
Mr. Jimenez, trembling slightly, extended his hand to shake Kathryn’s and said, “You are kinder and more dignified than your mother.”
It was clear from Kathryn’s eyes that she wasn’t as cruel or malicious as Clarissa. In a way, God had spared Clarissa a better legacy—Kathryn, her biological daughter, hadn’t grown up under Clarissa’s influence and had developed a different character and values. If Kathryn had been raised by Clarissa, she might not even be alive today.
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jimenez,” Kathryn said with a smile, thanking him before greeting the people she recognized.
For those she didn’t know, she simply smiled and nodded.
Since Audrey didn’t seem interested in introducing them, Kathryn didn’t take offense. She guessed they might be old friends of Mr. Jimenez.
Pedro had told her that her mother had sent assassins to kill Mr. Jimenez. If no one had saved him, knowing her mother’s ruthlessness, Mr. Jimenez would have been dead long ago, with a grave taller than a person. He had been out of contact for decades, possibly taken away by those who rescued him.
Clarissa had searched for him for years without success, assuming he was dead. But to everyone’s surprise, he had survived and returned.
Kathryn smiled bitterly inside. They say if you don’t want anyone to find out, you shouldn’t do it. Decades ago, her mother had made a terrible mistake, thinking that killing everyone involved would bury the truth forever. Yet, here they were, 40 or 50 years later, and people who knew the truth had returned to expose her mother’s past.
Meanwhile, reporters who had been waiting eagerly took pictures of the group.
It was actually Hayden who had called them, but she did so at Audrey’s request. Audrey wanted to take revenge on Clarissa for her parents and ruin her reputation.
However, in Jensburg, Audrey, as the daughter of the former matriarch, held little status. Even Kathryn, the current successor, didn’t have much influence in the city, certainly less than heirs of other wealthy families.
Hayden, on the other hand, was a different story. She was incredibly well-known in Jensburg, especially after it was revealed that the eldest master of the Queen family was actually a woman. This made her a true celebrity in the city, known even by the street cleaners.
The Queen family’s influence in Jensburg far surpassed that of the Farrell family. Hayden only had to make a phone call to bring the media reporters in.
The past of the Farrell family was about to be exposed, and the gathering tonight was filled with important people. Several major families from Wiltspoon had sent representatives.
Even the head couple of the Lafayette family from Meadspring was there, though they claimed they were just visiting for tourism. But everyone could see they had come to be part of the event.
It was well-known that Serenity, the eldest young lady of the York family, and Jane, the eldest young lady of the Johnson family, were close friends. The head of the Lafayette family was from Jane’s mother’s side, and it seemed likely that Jane had asked her brother to come and see if he could offer help.
Both Jane and Serenity valued their friendships deeply. If Jane could help, she would.
Meanwhile, Marco and his brothers, along with many of their family members, had also come out to watch the spectacle.
They had come to support Audrey, and many were curious about her. The last time she visited, most hadn’t seen her, and they were eager to finally meet the eldest daughter of the former matriarch.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3677
Chapter 3677
“Cousin.””Cousin.”
Marco and his two brothers greeted Audrey one by one. Audrey glanced at them briefly.
Mr. Jimenez, guessing they were Clarissa’s sons, looked at them a little longer but said nothing.
Though Marco and his brothers were met with coldness, they weren’t offended or surprised. In Jensburg, their position was a bit tricky. They were young masters of the Farrell family, but their last name was Janzen, from the Janzen family, which wasn’t very influential. If the Janzens had more power, their father, Holden, wouldn’t have had to become the son-in-law of the Farrell family. Everything the Janzen family enjoyed now was thanks to the Farrells. It was Holden who endured it all and stayed by Clarissa’s side with a smile.
As the group moved past them, Marco led his younger brothers to follow quietly.
Soon, the butler came out and welcomed the media reporters, arranging for a few servants to attend to them, but keeping them outside the house. Inside and outside, the mansion was being prepared for the dinner party. Since the house wasn’t large enough for so many guests, the yard would be used as well.
After Audrey and the others entered the mansion, Kathryn guided them inside, but Mr. Jimenez said, “Miss Audrey, I’d like to walk around the yard.”
“Okay, I’ll join you, Uncle Jimenez. You can show me where my sister and I used to play when we were young,” Audrey replied. She then turned to Kathryn and said, “Kathryn, please take care of our older guests.”
Before Kathryn could respond, Ezequiel and the others said, “We’ll go with Mr. Jimenez. Wherever he goes, we go. Who knows if your mother has hidden bombs in the house or poured gasoline everywhere, hoping to burn us alive.”
Kathryn was speechless.
“Old senior, how could my mother do such a thing? The entire family is here tonight,” she said.
Ezequiel turned to Dakota and asked, “What do you think, Brother Dakota?”
Dakota replied seriously, “No bombs, but I wouldn’t rule out the gasoline. Just to be safe, no one should go inside tonight. If we must, Audrey should lead the way.”
Kathryn kept her composure and smiled, “Tonight, I’ll make sure my cousin and all our senior guests are well taken care of.”
Though Audrey hadn’t told Kathryn who Ezequiel and the others were, Kathryn guessed they weren’t ordinary people. They were probably the ones who had rescued Mr. Jimenez years ago and kept him hidden all this time.
Mr. Jimenez spoke calmly, “Kathryn, Miss Audrey, let’s go.” He led the way around the yard and remarked, “The place has changed a lot. The flowers and plants the original owner loved are gone, and much has been altered.”
He continued, “Miss Audrey used to love swinging in the yard. I installed the swing for both young ladies, but I don’t see it anymore.”
Kathryn quickly said, “Mr. Jimenez, the swing has been moved to the backyard. There are swings in both the backyard and the front yard.”
Hearing this, Kathryn fell silent.
When she had returned to the Farrell family, the front yard swing was already gone, and the one in the backyard looked new. She thought it was meant for her nieces and nephews, not the same one her cousin had used decades ago.
Although the media reporters weren’t allowed inside, they watched as the group strolled through the yard instead of entering the house. Keeping a respectful distance, they captured footage, hoping to pick up on any significant moments.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3678
Chapter 3678
Many members of the Farrell family came over to greet Audrey and her group.
Liberty quietly asked Zachary, “Are we good? No surprises, right?”
Zachary replied softly, “Don’t worry, everything’s fine, sister.”
Liberty exchanged a look with him, then nodded after receiving a glance from Clive.
Audrey spoke briefly with the family members and introduced the younger generation, especially Liberty.
One of the clan members smiled and said, “Liberty, we already know each other quite well.”
Liberty smiled back, acknowledging their familiarity.
Many of the Farrell family members had observed Liberty’s actions in Jensburg, and some had secretly allied themselves with her.
Just then, Clarissa’s voice interrupted, “Since everyone’s here, why don’t you come inside? It’s a bit cold out here.”
Clarissa and Holden had been waiting inside for Audrey’s group to enter. After some time passed, they realized no one was coming in. When they asked around, they found out that Audrey’s group was staying in the yard, joking they were afraid there might be bombs or gasoline inside the house.
Clarissa was furious. She had actually considered burying a bomb. Mr. Dunn had warned her that making a bomb would attract too much attention, and the police might show up before they could act. Not only would their plan to kill Audrey and her group fail, but they would also get arrested.
Clarissa had also thought about pouring gasoline around the house and setting a fire to trap everyone, whether they were inside or outside. She figured that once the fire spread, smoke would suffocate most of them before they could escape.
Clarissa suspected that somehow her plan had been discovered. But then again, if Audrey knew, why would she bring her relatives and friends to the event? She would’ve called the police instead.
When Clarissa and Holden appeared, the group fell silent.
“Mom,” Kathryn greeted her.
Clarissa lightly scolded, “Kathryn, really? You didn’t even invite your cousin and her family inside. It’s cold out here.”
After scolding her daughter, Clarissa smiled at Mr. Jimenez and said, “Mr. Jimenez, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect you to still be alive.”
Mr. Jimenez quickly shot back, “It hasn’t been that long. I just saw you yesterday or the day before. You knew I was alive all along, Clarissa. Stop pretending like you didn’t know. Who are you trying to fool?”
Clarissa was momentarily speechless at his blunt response.
“You killed the previous matriarch. When Audrey and I came back, we went to see her, but you didn’t even let us pay our respects. Have you forgotten already? Or are you pretending because of guilt? Maybe you have Alzheimer’s. I’m nearly 100, and I don’t even have Alzheimer’s yet.”
Clarissa tried to regain her composure, saying, “Mr. Jimenez, you’re acting like you’re full of gunpowder today. When did I ever…? The Farrell family can’t recall those events, but I can help you remember, just like someone having an epileptic episode.”
Lilian smirked slightly, making Clarissa’s face tighten. She still had toxins in her system, and if she had another episode in front of all these people, twitching and drooling like before, it would ruin her reputation completely.
The reporters, paying close attention, continued to snap photos.
It became clear that Clarissa, the current matriarch of the Farrell family, had indeed killed her own sister to claim her position!
Married At First Sight Chapter 3679
Married At First Sight Chapter 3679 – “Uncle Jimenez, let’s keep walking,” Audrey said, supporting Mr. Jimenez as they moved forward, leaving Clarissa behind.
It was clear that Audrey didn’t want to acknowledge Clarissa. Although she was born and raised in this house for seven or eight years, after being away for forty or fifty years, she no longer felt connected to it.
Clarissa followed, her face dark. As the current matriarch of the Farrell family, she felt it was her duty to accompany the guests.
“Why are you following us?” Audrey asked bluntly.
Clarissa, her expression stern, replied, “Audrey, is this how you talk to your elders? I am your second aunt.”
Audrey responded, “Yes, you’re my second aunt, but you’re also the person who killed my parents. Do I have to be polite to the one who murdered them?”
“Audrey!” Clarissa snapped, unable to take the constant provocation.
As the head of the family for decades, Clarissa had a temper, and her patience was running thin.
“You keep saying I killed my sister. Where’s your proof? If you have evidence, show it! Otherwise, it’s just slander. I could sue you for defaming me! The man you’re holding, Jimenez, was my sister’s assistant. After she died, he vanished. That makes him suspicious. Why did he disappear for decades? Because he’s guilty! He must’ve tampered with my sister’s car, causing her death. When I tried to track him down, he ran. Now he’s back, trying to twist the truth and stir trouble.”
As expected, Clarissa turned the accusations against Mr. Jimenez.
Audrey, staying calm, said to her son, “Clive, bring out the evidence Mr. Jimenez has kept. Let’s show everyone here tonight how this woman, my ‘good’ second aunt, who my mother raised, betrayed her and killed both her elder and younger sisters.”
Liberty spoke up, “Aunt, I have the evidence here.” She pulled out the documents Mr. Jimenez had safeguarded for decades.
Despite the years, the papers and photos were well preserved, showing the care Mr. Jimenez had taken to protect them. Now, everyone could see them.
The documents were statements Mr. Jimenez had gathered from witnesses after uncovering the truth. Though those people were long gone, the photos showed Clarissa meeting with the person who killed the head of the family and exchanging money afterward.
While the evidence wasn’t entirely conclusive, it was compelling enough to suggest Clarissa’s involvement in her sister’s murder.
Liberty handed the evidence to the reporters and members of the Farrell family, letting everyone take a look.
Clarissa’s face twisted with anger, unable to find the right words. She wanted to grab the evidence but was too nervous. The yard was filled with people, and under the bright lights, everyone could see her every move. If she snatched the evidence, it would be impossible to hide her guilt.
The reporters were snapping photos, capturing everything.
Clarissa stood up straight, trying to appear unbothered. But inside, she was panicking, thinking, “Mr. Dunn, hurry up! Pour the gasoline, light the fire, and burn them all!”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3680
Married At First Sight Chapter 3680 – Clarissa had repeated the thought in her head countless times, but nothing was happening outside. She couldn’t understand why Mr. Dunn hadn’t acted. The moment seemed perfect—everyone was distracted, looking at the evidence and whispering. It was the ideal time to set the house on fire.
What Clarissa didn’t know was that Mr. Dunn had tried to follow the plan. But when he went to have gasoline poured around the mansion, he discovered that the barrels had been secretly replaced with water. There wasn’t even a hint of gasoline when he opened the lids. To confirm, they tried igniting the liquid, but it wouldn’t burn. Their gasoline had been swapped out without anyone noticing.
Mr. Dunn began to panic.
He thought back to their plan. Only a select few trusted people knew about it. Even those helping him tonight had only learned the full details right before they executed it. There was no way they had the opportunity to replace so much gasoline without being noticed.
But who could have done it?
Mr. Dunn suspected Audrey’s group. He had already taken precautions against the Bucham family, thinking that they might be involved. Yet, there was no sign of the head of the Bucham family or its young master in Jensburg. Even Josh was nowhere to be found. So if it wasn’t the Buchams, who could have done it?
Was it a hidden force from Wiltspoon? Perhaps the Lafayette family? But they had just arrived in Jensburg a couple of days ago and likely didn’t even know the full story. How could they have replaced the gasoline?
Meanwhile, Clarissa, standing in the yard under the scrutinizing eyes of everyone, waited in vain for the mansion to burst into flames.
The evidence Mr. Jimenez had painstakingly gathered was not handed to Clarissa but shown to her children before returning to Audrey. Clarissa couldn’t help but challenge them.
“Audrey, Mr. Jimenez, if you believe this evidence proves I killed my eldest sister, why don’t you show it to me? I think you made it all up. You’re trying to disgrace me to take over as matriarch. You called all these reporters to destroy my reputation with baseless claims. But I tell you, I have nothing to hide. I didn’t harm my sisters.
It’s you, Mr. Jimenez, who disappeared all those years ago, making you the real suspect. I suspected you of killing my sister! You must’ve told Audrey I was chasing you down to silence you, but the truth is, I was trying to avenge my eldest sister. You killed her, and when you ran, I sent people after you.”
Mr. Jimenez responded coldly, “How loyal is Mr. Dunn to you? Assistants like us serve the head of the family with our lives. We are loyal in life and death. There’s no second-guessing our loyalty.
Clarissa, you accuse me of killing the head of the family because you didn’t trust me as her assistant. Have you distrusted Mr. Dunn for all these years too? I pity him—he’s worked tirelessly for you, but you still doubt him. And speaking of trust, why did you have Mr. Fraser placed so closely with your daughter?”
