Chapter 277 Apologize
Tobin decisively left after conveying the messages.
Lanny, bewildered and unsure of what had transpired, gleaned from Tobin's words that Glenda and Mabel were likely involved in something unsavory behind his back, and it had upset Jayden.
He remembered that upon his return home, Glenda was nowhere to be seen. The butler informed
him she had locked herself in her bedroom and was not responding to anyone.
With a scowl, he marched upstairs. Reaching the bedroom door, he found it locked from the inside. He knocked impatiently, calling out, "Open the door! Hurry!"
After a long hesitation, Glenda opened the door.
As Lanny entered, he immediately felt something was off with her.
His intense gaze made her unfortable. She avoided eye contact and questioned anxiously, "What's up? Who has just been here?"
Lanny stared unwaveringly and demanded, "Have you and Mabel been up to something?" Glenda snapped back loudly, "What could we possibly do? Stop those baseless accusations!" "Baseless? Fine, I'l drop it, Lanny retorted. "But take Mabel and apologize to Jayden Owen and Elyse. I want nothing to do with it. I won't be joining you." With those words, he snorted dismissively and turned to leave.
Glenda, gripped by panic, quickly stopped him. "Why would we need to apologize?" she asked
Lanny snorted again, his frustration evident. "How should I know? It's not my problem. Whether
you go or not is up to you."
"No way! You must help us," Glenda insisted, her posure slipping as she grappled with the swift unraveling of her plan.
Lanny shook off her hand and snapped, "What on earth did you and Mabel do? Out with it!" After a moment's hesitation, Glenda confessed the scheme Mabel had concocted.
Lanny exploded upon hearing it. "Did you actually help Mabel set up
Elyse?"
Glenda, now visibly embarrassed, merely grunted in response.
"You must be tired of living a peaceful life; you're just asking for trouble, aren't you?" Lanny shouted. "Do you realize that Elyse's husband is Jayden Owen? Even though he's disabled, he's not someone you can afford to cross."
After cooling down, Glenda understood the gravity of her mistake in aiding Mabel against Elyse. The potential repercussions of their plan succeeding terrified her.
'Trembling, she looked at Lanny and pleaded, "Honey, I was terribly wrong. I promise never to get
involved in such things with Mabel again.
What should we do now?"

Gritting his teeth in frustration, Lanny felt an urge to lash out. He roared, "What should you do?
Take Mabel and go apologize to Elyse!"
"Mabel didn't e home with me. I don't know where she is," Glenda replied, her guilt
deepening. She hadn't seen Mabel since she accepted the sleeping pills from her.
On her way home, she tried calling Mabel, but her calls went unanswered.
Seething, Lanny snapped, "She must be scared and ran off. How typical! She always causes us trouble."
Glenda's fear escalated, realizing the gravity of the situation now that Mabel had disappeared. Clutching Lanny's hand, she asked, "Honey, what should we do? Is Mabel safe on her own?"
"Still worried about her? You should be more concerned about yourself," Lanny retorted sharply. "She's run off and left you to face the music. Do you think Jayden will just let this slide after you tried to set up Elyse?" He sneered, driving home the severity of their predicament.
It dawned on Glenda that she seemed to be the sole executor of their plan against Elyse, while Mabel had done nothing on her own.
Realizing she might have been manipulated by her own daughter, Glenda felt both upset and heartbroken.

Wounded but resolute, Glenda donned her jacket and followed Lanny out, heading towards Jayden's house.
As they approached the doorstep of Jayden's villa, Driscoll spotted them and inquired, "Where is Mabel Lloyd?".
Lanny forced a flattering smile. "We don't know where she's gone and haven't been able to contact her. Could you please inform Mr. Owen that we're here to apologize on behalf of our daughter."
Glenda nodded in agreement beside him.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Driscoll gave them a piercing look before retreating back into the villa. He returned shortly after and conveyed, "Mr. Owen says you can apologize when his wife is awake. Furthermore, he insists that Mabel Lloyd must be present. Without her, he cannot assure that there won't be plications with future projects involving your family."
Lanny's face paled at the mention of potential repercussions to his business interests, which he valued above almost everything else.
Suddenly, his frustration boiled over and he lashed out physically at Glenda, striking her across the face. "Call her now! Or I swear I'll divorce you!" he barked
furiously.
