NovelEnglishChapter 341:
Lanny gave a wry smile and sarcastically asked, “Why would it be impossible?”
Glenda was taken aback, unsure of her disbelief. “Free at 0700.”
Heaving a deep sigh, Lanny spoke in a low tone. “Jayden must be harboring a grudge because we chose not to
save Elyse. He's been bottling up his anger all this time.” After a pause, he added, “I think he wants to punish
Mabel himself. But after we confronted him yesterday, he promised to send her back. Yet he didn’t want Mabel to
have an easy life, so he had her arrested at the police station.”
Glenda was furious. “He is insane! We're supposed to be family. How could he do this to us? And Elyse too! Can't
she see that Mabel has admitted her mistakes and shown regret?”
Lanny scoffed. “Forget it. | believe the charges against Mabel are fabricated. She'll be released in a few days. Are
those accusations even believable? It's absurd.”
Glenda turned away, her face shadowed, falling into silence. She appeared composed, but inside, she was

other criminal activities. She believed that Lanny, who was unaware of the truth, wouldn't take the situation with
Mabel seriously. Now she could only rely on herself to secure Mabel's release.

Reflecting on this, Glenda felt a deep sadness. Mabel had only her to rely on. Lanny had planned to visit Mabel
with Glenda, warning Mabel that she should stay calm in the police station and not stir any trouble, as she would
be released soon. However, their visit was denied by the police that day. Disheartened, Lanny sighed deeply and
said, “Let's go home. She'll be out when it’s time.”
Glenda, not daring to argue, silently followed him, clutching her purse.
Just then, a woman clad in elegant attire entered the police station. Removing her sunglasses, she approached a
passing officer and inquired, “Is Mabel Lloyd detained here?”
“Yes, who are you?” the officer turned and asked.
“I'm Mabel’s agent, Aylin Watts.” Pulling several documents from her purse, she explained, “Mabel owes our
agency eighty million. We lost contact with her previously. I've cto collect the debt now that I've learned
she’s here.”
The mention of eighty million left the officer stunned. He halted Lanny and Glenda, who were just about to leave,
and said with a complex look, “There's someone here for your daughter. You are Mabel’s parents; you should be
informed.”
Before Lanny could grasp the situation, Aylin approached, handing him the contracts. “Hello, I'm Aylin, Mabel’s
agent. She breached her contract and owes our company, along with several others, a total of eighty million in
damages,” she explained courteously.
Lanny’s expression twitched. Ever since he heard eighty million, he hadn't thought of Aylin’s approach as polite.
He saw her more as a bandit coming to strip him of his fortune. “Eighty million? There must be smistake!”
he exclaimed, brushing her hand aside and refusing to look at the contracts.
Aylin smiled. “I'm a professional agent. | assure you there’s no error. | understand eighty million is a lot. As
Mabel’s parents, it’s natural for you to digest the news.”
Lanny was clearly upset. “I don’t owe you eighty million. Go find whoever does!”

With a patient smile, Aylin explained, “Mabel has owed this money for quite stand has even blocked my
number. If you're unwilling to settle her debt, I'll have no choice but to sue her.”
Lanny scoffed. “Go ahead and sue her then. I'm not paying you anything. | don’t have the money anyway.” With
those final words, he turned and walked away.
Aylin wasn’t shocked. Not everyone could muster eighty million. She sighed quietly to herself, contemplating her
next steps. Suing Mabel seemed inevitable, but that raised a question: when would she actually see the money?
While Lanny had departed, Glenda lingered, her voice tinged with embarrassment. “Aylin, if | manage to pay the
eighty million, would you refrain from suing Mabel?”
Aylin nodded. “Of course. Our company is reasonable. If the penalty is paid, we won't pursue the matter further.”
Glenda wrung her hands nervously. “Could you givestime? | will find a way to pay the money.”
Aylin assessed her with a critical eye. To her, Glenda appeared to be just an ordinary housewife. If Mabel's
wealthy father wouldn't pay, what chance was there that Glenda could?
Despite her doubts, Aylin maintained her professional demeanor and replied with a smile, “Okay, Mrs. Lloyd. I'll
give you that opportunity.”
