NovelEnglishChapter 603:
Glenda recoiled, her body shaking visibly. “How could you be so heartless?” she gasped in disbelief. “You weren't
like this before, Elyse. You used to be kind and caring. But now, look at you!”
Elyse found her words ridiculous. “What has kindness ever achieved for me?” she snapped. “It has only enabled
your family to exploit me.”
Glenda’s eyes widened as she glared at Elyse. “Are you threatening me?”
Elyse spoke in a tone that was light and breezy, contrasting sharply with Glenda’s tension. “A life for a life,” she
said calmly. “You and your family will feel the pain that my parents have suffered.”
Glenda watched Elyse with a grim expression, her thoughts and motives hidden behind her unreadable look.
Irving couldn’t stand to watch any longer. He grabbed Elyse’s arm, pulling her protectively behind him.
Mabel sat up suddenly, her eyes fixed on Elyse with intense hatred. It was as if she wanted to tear Elyse apart.
Elyse regarded Mabel with disdain. She considered Mabel to be insignificant, both foolish and spiteful. She gave
a dismissive look at both Glenda and Mabel before turning and walking away.

After Elyse had left, Mabel’s anger boiled over, but Glenda restrained her. “What's wrong with you, Mom?”
Glenda looked around at the others in the room before slowly standing up. She led Mabel into the bathroom, her
voice low.

“You need to go hnow. There's an orange Hermes bag in the closet in my bedroom. Open the secret
compartment inside, and you'll find a bank card. It's the emergency money I've been saving. | had planned to
use it to take you away from here once | got divorced, but now | don’t think I'll have that chance.”
Mabel’s face displayed shock and confusion as she looked at Glenda. “Mom, what are you talking about?” she
asked, her voice quivering.
Glenda’s voice becfirm as she replied, her expression stern. “I have a dozen other designer bags,” she
stated sharply. “Take them all and sell them. Use the money and get as far away from here as possible.”
“Elyse is out for revenge,” she warned, her voice carrying an icy certainty. “She’s targeting us.”
Mabel was disbelieving. “Revenge? Sure, we weren't exactly caring, but she has relied on our family for decades.
What does she have to seek revenge for?”
Glenda looked at her daughter with mixed feelings. “You're so innocent,” she said gently.
Glenda knew well that Elyse was determined to avenge her parents, a truth she chose not to disclose to Mabel.
The past should remain hidden.
Even if Mabel knew that everything she had consumed or worn was from Elyse’s parents’ fortune, it wouldn't
alter anything. In Glenda’s view, her daughter deserved all the luxuries life could offer.
“Take the money and leave,” Glenda insisted, trying to maintain her calm. “Don’t worry about me.”
Mabel felt uneasy, sensing that something was off. It seemed like her mother was subtly saying goodbye. She
frowned, puzzled. “Mom, what's going on? Why are you so scared of Elyse? She’s not as threatening as she
seems.”
Glenda shook her head, her face showing resignation. She understood the severity of the situation better than
Mabel, realizing that Elyse’s threats were serious.
It was clear to Glenda that Elyse had discovered the truth from Morgan, and they were now working together
against their family.

Mabel’s safest option was to escape alone.
Noticing Mabel’s hesitation, Glenda becmore urgent, her voice tinged with desperation. “Mabel, you have to
listen to me! Do you understand?”
Mabel, with a furrowed brow, finally nodded in agreement.
Glenda let out a sigh of relief. “Remember this carefully,” she instructed, “The PIN for the bank card is your
birthday. Use the money wisely. Find a place where no one knows you, and don’t worry about me.”
Mabel still didn’t grasp the full gravity of their predicament. “Mom, stop talking like that. I'm just going to sell
those bags. This money will help you and Dad get a divorce. We'll both be better off without him!”
Glenda knew that a divorce from Lanny was not possible, but to ease Mabel’s departure and calm her mind, she
chose to deceive her.
“Go ahead,” she said. “I'll discuss the divorce with your father after | leave the hospital, and once everything is
sorted out, I'll cfind you.”
Mabel sighed deeply, relieved. “Mom, I'm so relieved you see it now. I've been telling you to leave Dad for so
long, but you wouldn't listen. You finally see what kind of person he is.”
