Even if Clarissa were to die, she intended to secure her fortune before going.
This plan had a higher chance of success. Audrey and the others would try to escape, but unless they made it to the rooftop where a helicopter might be waiting, they wouldn’t be able to get away. And to make sure of that, Clarissa planned to have the door to the rooftop welded shut so they couldn’t escape.
Mr. Dunn was quiet for a moment before reminding Clarissa, “If that happens, the young lady may refuse to take over as head of the family. If she declines, the head of the family will have died in vain. Without a successor, the position could fall into someone else’s hands.”
Without hesitation, Clarissa replied, “If it comes to that, Kathryn will take over. She may be harsh, but she won’t let it all slip away. Besides, the people from Wiltspoon won’t all come together. Serenity won’t come, and even Elisa might not show up. They’re focused on grooming Liberty to take over.”
Serenity and Liberty still have heirs, so it would be a matter of whose descendants would take over.
Clarissa was confident Kathryn could come out on top.
Kathryn had been working with her for two years, gaining experience in running the Farrell Group and the Farrell family. She was more seasoned than Serenity and Elisa.
Clarissa also knew that Elisa wasn’t interested in taking over. Her personality wasn’t suited for leadership.
As for Serenity, she was pregnant. Could she really come here with a big belly to compete with Kathryn? It was unlikely. Serenity had been trying to conceive for a year after marrying Zachary, and she was very protective of this pregnancy.
“We’ll see how things unfold. We’ve prepared several plans, so one of them is bound to work.”
“When Mr. Janzen arrives, I need to meet him.”
Clarissa was eager to ask Fernando in person—did he really have no feelings for her at all?
She had been young and beautiful once. Her abilities, though not as strong as her elder sister’s, were still commendable. So why did he never see her?
Mr. Dunn replied, “Madam, there’s no need for you to seek him out. He’ll come to you.”
Clarissa paused, then smiled bitterly. “You’re right.”
If Fernando followed Audrey back to Jensburg, his first stop would be to pay respects to Clarissa’s elder sister, and then he would confront Clarissa.

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
