Chapter 341 To Collect Debts
Lanny gave a wry smile and sarcastically asked, "Why would it be impossible?"
Glenda was taken aback, unsure of her disbelief.
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, "! 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.I believe the charges against Mabel are fabricated. She''ll be released in a few days. Are those usations even believable?
It''s absurd."

She appeared posed, but inside, she was anything but calm. She alone knew the charges were urate. Mabel had indeed been involved with drugs and 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 nned 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. 7 keOm.
Just then, a woman d in elegant attire entered the police station. Removing her sunsses, 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 exined, "Mabel ''owes our agency eighty million. We lost contact with her previously. I''ve e to collect the debt now that I''ve learned she''s
The mention of "eighty million" left the officer stunned. He halted Lanny and Glenda, who were just about to leave, and said with a plex 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 pany, along with several others, a total of eighty million in damages." She exined 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, ing to strip him of his fortune.
"Eighty million? There must be some mistake!" he eximed. He brushed her hand aside and Aylin smiled. "I''m a professional agent. I assure you, there''s no error. I 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 exined, "Mabel has owed this money for quite some time and 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. I 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, contemting 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 pany is reasonable. If the penalty is paid, we won''t pursue the matter further."
Glenda wrung her hands nervously. "Could you give me some time? I 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."Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
