Chapter 3618


    – Hayden, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke up, “Dr. Carden, why don’t you go back to the


    house to rest? The guest rooms are ready. I’ll walk around with the others and then head back. It’s


    too cold out here.”


    She was concerned that the visitors from Wiltspoon, who were used to milder winter temperatures,


    might struggle with the harsh cold of Jensburg.


    Even Sonny, who missed Liberty, didn’t want to stay long after the winter break. He went to FC


    Manor with Serenity because Jensburg’s winter was too cold for him. A short visit to see the snow


    and build a snowman was fine, but staying for an extended period wasn’t ideal.


    Lilian, having just finished a mint candy, said, “I’ve enjoyed the scenery of your Queen family estate.


    Let’s take a quick walk around and head back. Those men are probably still deep in business talk.”


    The men, being leaders in their fields, had plenty to discuss and rarely saw each other. Despite


    gathering to confront rissa, they valued this brief time together.


    So, what started as a two-person walk turned into a five-person stroll with lively conversation.


    Meanwhile, rissa was far from rxed. After leaving her private cemetery and returning to the


    city, she nned to go straight to the Farrell family mansion to confront her biological daughter and


    possibly tip her off. But then she received a call from her secretary, urgently asking her to return to


    the office because the police had arrived inrge numbers.


    Why were the police there?


    rissa felt a wave of dread. Her people had hidden guns—had Liberty’s group found out and


    reported her? But then she remembered that except for one pistol she had hidden, all the other


    weapons were in Mr. Dunn’s possession. This thought calmed her.


    The pistol she had hidden was a secret known to no one, not even her closest confidants or her


    children. She had never used it, having acquired it during a more lenient time, and she kept it well-


    concealed.  Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    There was no way Liberty’s people could know about it unless they had some supernatural abilities


    like x-ray vision or mind reading.


    rissa asked the secretary in a steady voice, “Did the police say what they wanted to talk to me


    about?”


    The secretary replied, “Ma’am, they didn’t tell me anything specific. They just asked me to notify you


    toe back to thepany, or they would meet you wherever you are. They seemed very


    serious.”


    It was as if they were there to arrest someone.


    The secretary suspected their boss might have been involved in something illegal, which had drawn


    the police’s attention, but she didn’t dare voice this thought. rissa had been in a foul moodtely,


    making everyone at thepany nervous and on edge whenever she was around. Even her three


    sons had been lying low, trying to avoid her wrath.


    “I understand. I’ll head back now,” rissa said, confident that her hidden guns were safe from


    discovery. She assumed the police visit was probably due to a report Liberty had made about some


    wrongdoing at Farrell Group. But without evidence, she wasn’t worried.


    After all, despite usations from Audrey and Old Mr. Jimenez that she was responsible for her


    sister’s death, they had no proof. No matter how much they used her, she refused to admit


    anything. Without an admission, what could they do to her?


    rissa wasn’t afraid of being ndered; she had endured it for the past forty or fifty years and was


    still living well. Many people hadn’t lived asfortably as she had.
