Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Chapter 3567

Kathryn said, "It's not surprising that most people don't know Mr. Jimenez's full name."

She figured that only Clarissa might remember it. Holden had told her that Clarissa had feelings for Mr. Jimenez, who was nearly a hundred years old-more than twenty years older than her mother. Even though Mr. Jimenez was already a middle-aged man when her mother was young, she still fell in love with him.

This showed that Mr. Jimenez must have been quite attractive in his youth. It was also possible that since Kathryn's grandparents passed away early, her mother, lacking fatherly affection, may have developed a special attachment to older men.

"Mr. Jimenez is old now, but he'll still come back, won't he?"

Kathryn said this, realizing it was unnecessary. Mr. Jimenez had finally met Audrey and the others, so of course, he would return to Jensburg. He also held evidence of Clarissa's crimes.

If he wasn't planning to come back, Clarissa wouldn't be so anxious and unable to sleep or eat after learning that Mr. Jimenez was alive and had recognized Audrey.

Clarissa knew that Mr. Jimenez's testimony would expose her dark deeds, and her downfall would be inevitable. After ruling the family for 40 or 50 years, being exposed as the one who killed her elder and younger sisters, just to seize power, would destroy her. Even if the statute of limitations protected her from legal consequences, losing her reputation and being publicly condemned would be a fate worse than death.

In today's world, where news spreads quickly on the Internet, such a scandal would become known worldwide.

Kathryn knew that Clarissa valued her pride above all else.

For Clarissa, losing her reputation would be more painful than death itself. Kathryn also suspected that her mother wouldn't go down without a fight and would have some final scheme to deal with Audrey and the others.

Clarissa wanted Pedro to drug Kathryn and take her away to avoid the impending chaos. Clarissa likely planned to go down fighting, and she didn't want Kathryn caught in the crossfire.

"I'll be discharged tomorrow," Kathryn said.

Pedro, understanding what she was planning, nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll handle the paperwork."

At the Fortress Hotel, in a small meeting room of the presidential suite, Zachary, Kevin, Clive, Liberty, and Hayden had gathered.

They were having a meeting to discuss how to counter Clarissa's schemes.

They hadn't intended to involve Hayden, but she was upset when Kevin kept her out of the loop, feeling excluded. Though she and Kevin weren't married yet, they were engaged and planning to wed after the New Year. She insisted on being included, as she considered herself part of the York family.

Even though this matter was mainly Serenity's family business, Zachary's involvement meant the York family was also entangled, which brought in other powerful families from Wiltspoon. That's the influence of in-laws.
