Chapter 277:

Tobin decisively left after conveying the messages. Lanny, bewildered and unsure of what had transpired, gleaned from Tobin’s words that Glenda and Mabel were likely involved in something unsavory behind his back, and it had upset Jayden. He remembered that upon his return home, Glenda was nowhere to be seen. The butler informed him she had locked herself in her bedroom and was not responding to anyone.

With a scowl, he marched upstairs. Reaching the bedroom door, he found it locked from the inside. He knocked impatiently, calling out, “Open the door. Hurry!”

Lanny stared unwaveringly and demanded, “Have you and Mabel been up to something?”

Glenda snapped back loudly, “What could we possibly do? Stop those baseless accusations!”

“Baseless? Fine, I’ll drop it,” Lanny retorted. “But take Mabel and apologize to Jayden Owen and Elyse. I want nothing to do with it. I won’t be joining you.” With those words, he snorted dismissively and turned to leave.
