Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

— The previous matriarch had the underground passage built as an emergency escape route in case of extreme danger.

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 wasnt 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.

They were just letting Clarissa believe her plan was working, keeping her confident.
