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.
Glenda's frustration surfaced as she questioned Lanny crossly, "Why did you wantto cin 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 escortedout. They barredfrom the visitors 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.

Glenda's denial cwithout 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," Lanny insisted, releasing his grip on Glenda's wrist.
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," Lanny continued, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
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," he said calmly, making his way to the closet to remove his suit jacket.

"It's impossible," Lanny denied 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 slevel of loyalty toward them.
"When do you intend to arrange Mabel's marriage?" Glenda asked, her thoughts drifting to her daughter's g to her future. Elyse married Jayden, who is disabled. However, his family holds significant influence. We can't allow Mabel to marry into a family inferior to the Owens, can we?"

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?" "You've indulged her too much. She's becuncontrollable," Lanny replied angrily, expressing his frustration at the situation.
