LittleNovelChapter 296:
Lanny relentlessly pounded the iron fence, generating a loud sound. Hiding behind Glenda, Mabel cast an
apprehensive glance outside the villa, querying, “Mom, it's the first instance I've witnessed Dad in such a rage.
Will he resort to violence against me?”
Shielding Mabel, Glenda subdued her trepidation, tenderly patting Mabel’s shoulder and assuring her, “Go back
to your room for now. | shall converse with him.”
Mabel furrowed her brow, proposing, “Maybe | should talk to him. After all, | initiated this predicament. If |
elucidate, he may empathize with us and take our side.”
Confident that Jayden posed no imminent threat, Mabel reasoned that even if he did, he wouldn't do anything to
harm them for Elyse’s sake. Her strategy now hinged on enlisting Elyse’s surrender and support.
“No way. His anger renders him deaf to reason.” Following a loud retort, Glenda compelled herself to regain
composure. She ushered Mabel back to her room and instructed, “Return to your room momentarily. I'll talk to
him.”

After chauffeuring Mabel to her room, Glenda urged herself to compose and proceeded to operate the iron fence
using a button.
“Where the hell are you two? Glenda, show your face immediately or I'll burn the house!” Lanny ran into the yard
shouting.
Glenda emerged on the porch wearing a solemn expression. She feigned composure and uttered, “Stop shouting.
Cin first.”
Upon spotting Glenda, Lanny’s fury ignited. He briskly approached her and administered a forceful slap, catching
Glenda off guard and causing her to stumble. Before Glenda could recover from the slap, Lanny commenced
assaulting her.

“You bitch! How dare you ignore my calls! | shall end you!” Lanny’s eyes glinted with fury. Groaning in agony,
Glenda lay sprawled on the floor.
From her room, Mabel peeked and witnessed Glenda’s assault. “Stop it! You will kill Mom!” Mabel intervened
urgently. “Stop harming Mom! She acted on my behalf.”
Mabel shielded her mother, embracing her tightly to prevent further attacks from Lanny. Lanny’s anger
intensified upon seeing her.
“How dare you appear before me? This is entirely your fault!”
Mabel countered, “I was defending my career. You don’t understandat all. You sought only to ruin our lives.
Cwith me. Apologize to Jayden and plead for our lives.” Lanny shouted furiously as he delivered a kick.
Mabel, her hand covering her abdomen, uttered slowly, “That's impossible. Elyse destroyed my career. | demand
an apology from her.”
“You're dragging us down!” Lanny, seething with rage, lifted his hand poised to strike Mabel.
Glenda rose to her feet, shielding Mabel. She couldn't bear the thought of her daughter enduring violence, so
she spoke with sorrow, “Please don’t harm her. She’s your daughter. Doesn't it pain you to see her career
destroyed?”
Mabel cried out, “Hit me! Just kill me! You don’t care aboutanyway. You won't defend me. You're not fit to be
called a father.”

With eyes ablaze and breaths ragged, Lanny hesitated, but the slap never landed. “You'll end up killing us all,”
Lanny refrained from striking her in the end.
Glenda embraced Mabel tightly, tears flowing freely as she inquired about any injuries. “You've spoiled her. Look
at the mess she’s made. You will get yourself killed because of her,” Lanny exclaimed, unable to contain his
frustration.
Mabel snorted defiantly before finding the courage to speak up, “Perhaps she'll fall victim to your violent ways.”
“Bastard,” Lanny clenched his teeth with hatred but ultimately refrained from giving a slap. After a brief silence,
he let out a heavy sigh before speaking, “Have you considered how to address Jayden’s anger?”
Mabel rolled her eyes, questioning, “Are you really that scared of him? Jayden is Elyse’s husband now and I'm her
sister. Even if | harmed her, what could Jayden do to me? Elyse wouldn't ask him to harm her own sister. I'll just
have a chat with Elyse about it, and she will forgive us.”
“You've certainly figured out your escape plan,” remarked Lanny.
Mabel retorted, “Consider it. You're Elyse’s father. What could Jayden really do to you?”
“Are you certain he will forgive us? What if he doesn’t?”
Mabel said, “If he refuses to forgive us, then it’s Elyse’s fault. She should be able to convince Jayden to let us
go.”
