PopularNovelThe previous matriarch had the underground passage built as an emergency escape route in case of extrdanger. The passage had three entrances-inside the house, in the front yard, and in the backyard greatly increasing their chances of escape.
Even without the passage, they had secretly gathered many people to be ready. If Clarissa tried to set the mansion on fire, their team would quickly take control of Mr.
Dunn and his men, preventing them from pouring gasoline or starting the fire.
No matter how skilled Mr. Dunn was, he wasn't as formidable as the Five Emperors who had ruled the world decades ago. Though retired, their disciples now held powerful positions in various fields, with connections across major cities.

"Yes, Clarissa is waiting there and won't even let us visit my mother's grave. How dare she go there? If my mother knew how cold-hearted she's become, she'd rather have raised a dog than her. What an ungrateful person!" Audrey despised Clarissa. Clarissa had torn her family apart.
Audrey lost her parents at a young age and was separated from her only sibling. When she finally found her sister, they were torn apart again-all because of Clarissa.
Clarissa ruined Audrey's family, yet Clarissa herself lived a comfortable life. Despite marrying a man she didn't love, Clarissa had four children. Except for her daughter being switched at birth, she had lived well.
Clarissa's comfort cat the expense of Audrey's family.
How could Audrey not be bitter? Even the issue of Clarissa's daughter being switched wasn't entirely bad for her. Kathryn, Clarissa's switched daughter, wasn't aligned with her mother and wouldn't continue the family's grudges. Even if Clarissa died, Kathryn could still thrive.
Kathryn was capable and had Pedro, a powerful assistant, by her side. Even if she left the Farrell family and Jensburg, she would do well.
Although Audrey resented Clarissa, she didn't hold it against Kathryn.
Kathryn had long ago told Audrey that she didn't want the position of family head.
Her actions backed up her words.

"Aunt, didn't you teach her a lesson?" Liberty was furious. She regretted not learning martial arts, which would've allowed her to fight back against people like Clarissa.
If she had learned martial arts like Titus, she wouldn't need bodyguards-she could protect herself.
"I didn't, but Dr. Carden did. Liberty, Dr. Carden is amazing. Thankfully, we're not her enemies We really can't ve afford to offend her. If you can't befriend her, at least don't cross her. Otherwise, you won't even know what hit you." Lilian's skills not only shocked Clarissa and her group but also surprised Audrey and Darrell.
Liberty added, "Dr. Carden is the fourth daughter of the Johnson family. The Johnson and York families are connected-Jane and Serenity are good friends. Now, Sonny and Titus are friends too. They meet several times a year and stay in touch. At least for the next generation, the relationship between the two families is strong. With these ties, how could we offend Dr. Carden?"
Even without that connection, knowing Lilian was a highly skilled doctor, they would avoid offending her at all costs.
