Chapter 215
Remember Where That Money Come...
Lanny strode towards his bedroom as soon as he finished speaking.
Reluctantly, Glenda found herself compelled to follow him.
"Mom, don't go after him. Dad will hurt you," Mabel warned, her hand tenderly covering her reddened cheek, her eyes brimming with resentment.
Suppressing her own emotions, Glenda forced a smile. "It's alright, dear. Your father must be facing difficulties at work. He doesn't usually resort to violence."
Feeling a pang of sympathy for Mabel, Glenda gently stroked her cheek before instructing the butler to fetch an ice pack. With that, she trailed after Lanny into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
Closing the door behind her, Glenda's frustration surfaced as she questioned Lanny crossly, "Why did you want me to come in here with you?"
Standing by the window, Lanny took a deep breath before speaking. "I've been researching
nursing homes for the past few days, except for Sunshine Nursing Home."
Recalling Lanny's frequent departures and late returns over the past few days, Glenda finally pieced together his motive: he had been searching for that old woman.
"Could she be in Sunshine Nursing Home?" asked Glenda.
Lanny's expression furrowed with worry. "I'm not certain. I managed to reach the fifth floor before the security guards escorted me out. They barred me from the visitor's list."
Anxiety gnawed at Glenda as she contemplated their next move. "What should we do then? She may be indeed in Sunshine Nursing Home."
Turning to face her, Lanny proposed a plan. "I may not be able to enter, but you can. You need to find a plausible excuse to gain entry. Meanwhile, I'll explore nursing homes in other cities. We must locate that woman, no matter what."
Glenda hesitated, her fear palpable as she took a step back. "You want me to go? How am I supposed to search for her? I've never done anything like this before."
Observing Glenda's hesitation, Lanny couldn't help but snort mockingly. "You're trying to distance yourself from this, aren't you? Do you believe you'll remain unscathed if the truth comes out?" Glenda's denial came without hesitation. "I would never think that way."
Lanny seized her wrist firmly, gesturing towards her jade bracelet with an unsettling demeanor. "If you refuse to assist me, you risk losing everything: your clothes, possessions, jewelry, and even Mabel's financial security, Remember where that money comes from."
Glenda trembled under Lanny's intense gaze, understanding that she couldn't reveal her true intentions. If she wanted to maintain her current peaceful and lavish life, she had to stand by Lanny's side and aid him.
"I don't care when you go to Sunshine Nursing Home, but you must go, The sooner we locate her,

the better for us."
Releasing his grip on Glenda's wrist, Lanny continued, "Mabel is still unmarried. If you want her to
have a better future, you need to find that woman quickly. Once the threat is eliminated, the truth will remain hidden."
Glenda nodded, fully comprehending the gravity of the situation.
"By the way, I saw Elyse and Jayden there today," Lanny added casually. "You might want to inquire about their presence while you're there," said Lanny calmly. He made his way to the closet and nonchalantly removed his suit jacket.
His words sparked worry in Glenda's expression. She quickly approached him and whispered urgently, "Do you think those two might know something?"
"It's impossible!" Lanny denied it without hesitation. "Elyse has never had any contact with those people. She's always been loyal to us."
Despite Lanny's reassurances, Glenda harbored doubts about Elyse. She couldn't shake the
feeling that Elyse sometimes treated them coldly. After all, she wasn't their biological daughter
and might not hold the same level of loyalty towards them.

However, his family holds significant influence. We can't allow Mabel to marry into a family inferior
to the Owens', can we?" Thoughts of Elyse prompted Glenda to reminisce about her daughter's mariage.
Her heart felt burdened by the fact that Mabel was still unmarried.
She was eager to find a suitable husband for Mabel.

"Shut up!" Lanny's frustration boiled over whenever the topic of Mabel's marriage arose. "! set up
a blind date for her back the. Not only did she lose her virginity, but she also ruined our relations with the Ward family. That blind date has called off the meeting."
Glenda's concern for Mabel's marital prospects was palpable as she anxiously asked, "What should we do now? Our daughter may not be a virgin anymore, but does that mean she's ineligible to marry into a respectable family?"
Lanny exploded in anger. "You've indulged her too much. She's become uncontrollable."
