Mr. Dunn respectfully replied, "I always follow your orders, ma'am. I won't act on my own." If Clarissa decided to die with her enemy, Mr. Dunn would join her and the enemy in the afterlife. They were loyal to their master in both life and death.
Mr. Jimenez was an exception; he didn't follow his master back then because he wanted to avenge her.

Clarissa hung up the phone.
Audrey and the others descended the mountain, left the Farrell family cemetery, and visited the adjacent cemetery. They also burned sincense for Audrey's father and grandparents before returning to the taxi.
The taxi driver grew nervous while waiting because Audrey and the others took too long. If he hadn't seen them visiting the other cemetery and the gravekeepers, he might have thought they were ghosts. Once Audrey and the others got in the car, the driver quickly drove off. He sped up, afraid that driving slowly might invite ghosts to appear.
Even in broad daylight, Jensburg's winters were bitterly cold, and the sun rarely showed itself. Without sunlight, the remote cemetery felt gloomy and eerie, giving people the chills.
At the Queen family's house, Silver Fox and other elders had arrived in Jensburg before Audrey and the others. After Donald and his wife learned about their identities from their daughter, they personally went to the Fortress Hotel and invited them several times before they agreed to stay at the Queen family's house.

He claimed they were there to see the snow, but no one believed him. Meadspring often had heavy snowfall in winter, so there was no need to cto Jensburg just for that. But no one called out his lie. The head of the Lafayette family introduced himself, greeted Zachary and the others, and had dinner with them. The Queen family naturally invited him and his wife to stay at their home.
The house, usually quiet, suddenly beclively with the arrival of these distinguished guests. Donald, who often found his htoo quiet, was happy with the change.
The Silver Fox group was missing only the old doctor. The four who cwere older than Donald, but they didn't seem as mature as him. Instead, they resembled old lady York, behaving like mischievous kids. Donald felt like a parent around them.
When Silver Fox found out that Hayden was actually a woman, he slapped his thigh and said to Donald in front of Kevin, "Mr. Queen, why didn't you tell us earlier? If we had known your eldest son was actually a daughter, we would have arranged a marriage with my most talented apprentice, Alijah. He would have been the perfect match for your daughter."
"But that old chili from the York family got to her first. How did she figure out your eldest son was actually a woman?"
Hearing Silver Fox refer to his grandmother as an "old chili," Kevin frowned and said, "Senior Silver Fox, my grandmother isn't hot-tempered at all."
Silver Fox laughed, "She's not hot-tempered in front of you. She m loves your grandfathe deeply, and you're her grandchildren. She only shows love to you, so you never get to see her fiery side." X
