Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Even though Clarissa stood at the highest point and aimed at the people below, she knew she likely wouldn't hit anyone. She was well aware of the limitations of her pistol and her own poor eyesight. At that distance, she couldn't even make out their faces.

With only two bullets left, who could she hit?

Just herself.

Clarissa looked at the hostage she had taken a young woman with potential. Keeping her alive could be a threat to her daughter Kathryn's future. Killing her might give Kathryn a better chance. But no, even now, Kathryn might not advance.

Keeping these capable people around would only create more problems for Liberty.

Liberty's experience was mostly in simple businesses. After her divorce, she restarted with a small breakfast shop and later a restaurant. It wasn't until she came to Jensburg and started her new company that she entered the corporate world. Her experience was nowhere near Kathryn's.

When Kathryn first joined the Farrell Group, many people didn't respect her, and she faced resistance. If Liberty took charge, she would have an even harder time earning respect and keeping her position.
