Love at First Novel

Chapter 3623

Clarissa was at a loss for words. The police officer said, “Mrs. Farrell, please contact Mr. Dunn.” Clarissa replied, “Okay, I’ll call him now.” She called Mr. Dunn and told him to come immediately, saying the police suspected he was hiding guns and needed him to cooperate with their investigation. Mr. Dunn was shocked by the call. Aside from the pistol Clarissa hid, the other guns were old hunting rifles. Even though hunting rifles are illegal to own and must be turned in if found, they could lead to a prison sentence if reported. Mr. Dunn had the same thoughts as Clarissa. They had been hiding the guns for a long time without telling anyone. Even though their plan involved luring Liberty and her group to the Farrell family mansion, where they would either burn it down or shoot Liberty, Audrey, and others, Mr. Dunn never took out the hidden rifle. Only he and Clarissa knew about the guns. How did the police find out? Could someone in his circle have betrayed him? But even his closest people didn’t know about the guns. Could someone in Wiltspoon have reported them? If so, that would be terrifying. Although Mr. Dunn underestimated the people of Wiltspoon, he wasn’t too worried. He believed that with his and Clarissa’s skills, they could help her escape this crisis and keep her position as matriarch. But now, he began to worry they might fail. In the end, Clarissa might lose her position, be disgraced, and face legal consequences. Given her age, could she survive prison? Though the people in Wiltspoon were powerful and wealthy, they wouldn’t resort to illegal means. If Clarissa tried anything illegal, Audrey would likely seek revenge and bring her down as the rightful eldest daughter of the Farrell family in Jensburg.

They wouldn’t risk their future for revenge. Instead, they used legal means to seek justice for the previous matriarch, gathering evidence against Clarissa to ensure she was punished by the law. This way, Audrey would also avenge herself. So, if Audrey and the others knew about the guns, they would definitely report it to the police. Mr. Dunn thought about moving the hidden rifle to another location. The police would probably search his residence soon. Maybe they had already been there but couldn’t find him and reached out to the Farrell Group through Clarissa. But moving the guns would be risky. It could attract more attention and lead to their discovery. Mr. Dunn decided to take a gamble. He hoped Audrey and the others were just speculating without solid evidence. But that didn’t seem right either. If they reported him without proof, they’d be held accountable. Based on his experience with Liberty and the others, if they reported him, they likely had evidence and might even know where the gun was hidden. He realized he couldn’t leave things as they were. While answering the phone, Mr. Dunn had already considered many possibilities. He concluded that the police probably didn’t know the exact location of the gun. Otherwise, they would have already searched there. “Ma’am, I’ll return to the company right away,” Mr. Dunn responded respectfully. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
