Chapter 3696 - The news of the head of the Farrell family''s suicide dominated Jensburg''s headlines. Reports revealed that she had killed both her sisters out of jealousy. Some even imed she had fallen for her sister''s assistant, Mr. Jimenez, and when she couldn''t have him, she turned on her sister.
The whole city was buzzing with gossip.
Members of the Farrell family were overwhelmed with calls and questions. The Farrell Group was also in chaos.
Kathryn sent a message to the work group, announcing she would take a week off. She instructed senior managers to inform thepany that everyone would be given a holiday. She needed time to handle her mother''s funeral.
With rissa''s death, the debts were considered settled, and Audrey and the others would not pursue anything against Kathryn.
Holden, who had been shot, was rushed to the hospital. Though he survived, the news of his wife''s death didn''t bring him the relief he had expected. Despite his hatred for her, they had been married for decades and had four children together. There had been some affection, but she was too controlling. After years of suffering, he cheated, leading to the breakdown of their marriage.
Holden suddenly looked ten years older, lost in grief and confusion.
With their mother gone, Marco and his brothers knew it was finally over. They arranged for someone to watch their father in the hospital, while they and Kathryn handled the funeral.
From Wiltspoon, only Audrey, Darrell, Zachary, and Clive stayed behind. Liberty and Lilian remained in Jensburg. Everyone else returned home. They hade mainly to support Mr. Jimenez and make rissa believe her n was foolproof, setting her up for a downfall.
Their presence had made a big difference. Without them, it would''ve been harder for Zachary and the others to swap the gasoline Mr. Dunn had prepared with water or find his new hiding ce for the gun. The police''s sudden arrival also sped up the chain of events.
rissa''s funeral was quiet. Almost no one from the family attended.
Audrey and the others, though younger than rissa, didn''t attend. rissa had killed Audrey''s parents, and she wouldn''t honor her enemy, even in death.
Some of the wealthy families in Jensburg who had once been friendly with rissa dide, but many others distanced themselves, avoiding the funeral entirely.
Kathryn didn''t expect many attendees. She was simply doing her duty as a daughter.
Holden''s daughters, who had
returned to his old house earlier,
also came with their children. Even
QUol?
Erika, who was in the middle of a divorce with Marco, brought her children to burn incense for rissa.
No matter how many mistakes rissa had made, to them, she was still their mother and grandmother.
The day after rissa was buried, Kathryn received the news of Mr. Dunn''s death.
He had snuck into the Farrell family''s private cemetery at night andmitted suicide in front of rissa''s grave.
From the moment Mr. Dunn came into rissa''s life, his fate was sealed. He had lived to serve her and now, in death, he would remain by her side, even as a ghost. That was his purpose.
Mr. Dunn was not part of the Farrell family, so Kathryn buried him in a separate cemetery in Jensburg, not beside the Farrell family plot. She felt he hadmitted too many terrible deeds for her mother and didn''t want him near their ancestors.
Back at the Queen family''s house, only the older members like Audrey remained inside.
Zachary and Clive had stepped out and were each sitting in separate pavilions, chatting on the phone with their wives.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
