When Glenda heard the phone was disconnected, her ingratiating smile vanished, replaced by a cold, hardened
expression. Lanny continued watching the TV, his eyes glued to the screen. “Elyse doesn’t want to come,” he
asked.
Glenda gritted her teeth. “That ungrateful woman. | knew she would abandon us once she found out we aren't
her real parents.”
Lanny sneered. “I told you to be nicer to her. Regretting it now, aren't you?”
Glenda snapped back, “I'm doing this for our daughter. Even though she avoided jail, she has a criminal record.
Who would marry a woman with a record? | just wanted to ask Elyse for a favor.”

Outside the door, Lanny frowned when he heard Glenda talking about finding Habel a husband. “There's no rush.
Habel can take her tpicking a husband. Right now, we need to ensure Dorothy doesn’t wake up. If she
reveals our biggest secret, the three of us are done.”
Glenda quickly covered his mouth and whispered, “Keep it down. Aren't you worried Habel will hear you talking?”
Lanny dodged her hand, his face twisted in disgust. “You're handling this. If | go to the hospital, I'll draw too
much attention and they'll be on high alert.”
Glenda trembled as she listened. “You wantto kill Dorothy?”
Lanny’s eyes were cold and cruel. “If you don’t forget about Habel’s marriage, your daughter will lose her future,
and we'll all end up in jail.”
Glenda wrestled with herself for a moment before finally agreeing. She would do it.

began. Didn't they start when Elyse got married?”
Habel felt a chill as she replied, “So you're saying Elyse took my good luck to strengthen herself?”
