Lanny was staying at Mabel's place too, finding respite amidst the verdant embrace of the small

It was no surprise when Glenda approached him; he had anticipated this moment long ago.
In his estimation, Mabel and Glenda shared a certain lack of foresight. How could evidence easily vanish into thin
air?
Setting down his teacup, Lanny stared at the uneasy Glenda with empathy. "Mabel's wrongdoing cannot remain
hidden, can
Glenda nodded, her disfort evident. "The tide has turned online. Our daughter bears the brunt of public
condemnation, while Elyse stands declared innocent."
"You reap what you sow. | urged you to heed my counsel. Now you understand the gravity of our situation. You

Lanny recognized Jayden's influence. Despite his physical limitations, Lanny held Jayden in high Indeed, Lanny's
keen observation had not failed him. Even after a year in a wheelchair, Jayden's eyes retained their sharpness.
They spoke of authority. Jayden's gaze was perpetually astute and unpromising.
After sconsideration, Glenda proposed, "Should we appeal to Elyse directly? Perhaps she could quell the
online storm and facilitate Mabel's entry into the entertainment industry after a suitable interval. We are, after
all, family."
Lanny scoffed, "I doubt 'family' holds much sway now. Jayden likely sees us differently."
Glenda retorted cheekily, "Jayden's marriage to Elyse makes us family. How can there be ill will within a family?"
Lanny shook his head. "Our priority should be self-preservation. Your notion of reinstating Mabel into showbiz is
ill-advised. Once this ordeal concludes, we should get Mabel married and be relieved of such burdens."
Glenda's tone grew somber. "You know her defiance. Marriage is not a notion she'll entertain willingly."
"Even in dire straits, you remain her defender. Encourage her to apologize earnestly, and persuade Jayden to
grant us clemency. Otherwise, we all face dire consequences."
With a steely glare, Lanny's fist made contact with Glenda's head, leaving her reeling.
As Glenda sank to the ground, and covered her head in agony, Lanny spat on her.
In Lanny's view, Glenda and Mabel were troublemakers, yet abandoning them was not an option. Reluctantly, he
helped Glenda to her feet, resolving to acpany her and Mabel in seeking reconciliation at Jayden's.
When Mabel was informed of the need to apologize to Elyse, she locked herself in her room, declaring defiantly,
"Not even if the heavens themselves demand it. | refuse to bend to Elyse's whims."
Lanny pounded urgently on the door of her room. "Please, e out swiftly. You've found yourself ina difficult
situation, and it's tto make amends."
Mabel's voice pierced through the door, laden with defiance. "Mom promised to go in my stead. If you persist, |

she's unwilling, Elyse will understand, considering our familial bond."
Lanny's frustration ignited, his gaze ablaze with anger. "Let her jump if she dares. A fall from the third floor won't
claim her life. If she chooses to jump, then perhaps Jayden will forgive us." Their dwelling, a modest house
spanning three floors and an attic, housed Mabel's quarters on the uppermost level, affording her a panoramic
vista.
Mabel's laughter, tinged with fury, echoed from within. "So be it. | see now your true intentions. You'd rather see

"If my demise is your desire, then I shall oblige."
With those words, Mabel fell into an ominous silence.
