Chapter 275:

After waiting in the private room for what felt like ages, there was still no sign of Glenda. Elyse went out to look for her, making her way down the corridor. Suddenly, Glenda rounded the corner and rushed towards her. Confused, Elyse asked, “Where have you been? What took you so long?”

Glenda dodged Elyse’s inquisitive gaze and muttered, “Oh, er, nothing.” Without bothering to come up with a decent excuse for her absence, she suddenly grabbed Elyse’s hand and dragged her into the elevator.

Elyse felt that something was off, so she tried to shake off Glenda’s hand, but this only served to make Glenda tighten her grip. Frowning, Elyse questioned, “Where are you taking me?”

“Somewhere we can talk alone,” wearing a fake smile, Glenda led Elyse out of the elevator when they made it to the seventh floor. Glenda unlocked one of the rooms with her key card and beckoned Elyse to come in. Elyse glanced around the empty room in suspicion and asked warily, “Mom, did you book a room just to talk with me?”

Glenda nodded. “Yes, I didn’t want anyone to interrupt us. Here, have some water. You must be thirsty.” She shoved the glass of water at Elyse, who hesitated for a moment.

Knowing that Glenda was never this nice to her, Elyse felt extremely wary. However, after mulling over things for a while, she figured that Glenda likely just wanted to ask her for help with Mabel’s issue. If Glenda wanted her help, then she couldn’t hurt her, right?

So she accepted the glass of water and took a sip. The second her lips touched the glass, Glenda’s eyes triumphed. Wearing a smug smile, she made Elyse sit in a chair.
