Chapter 310:

“Do you believe she possesses the qualifications to pursue a career in singing?” Jayden posed the chilly question.

Lanny, masking his disapproval with a forced smile, replied, “No, I’m afraid not. Perhaps her path lies in marriage, becoming someone’s housewife.”

Glenda, her frustration evident, shot Jayden a venomous glare. Jayden, ever observant, noted the shift in Glenda’s gaze and playfully remarked, “It appears your wife disagrees.”

In a sudden display of anger, Lanny swiftly struck Glenda across the face, his expression twisted into a malevolent sneer. “If you persist in your dissent, I’ll kick you out of my house.”

Being slapped, Glenda composed herself, swallowing any protest. In a subdued tone, she murmured, “I will talk to Mabel.”

Jayden twirled a ring on his thumb, a subtle hint of menace flickering in his eyes. “You’d best be sincere. Should I catch wind of Mabel’s aspirations to sing again, there will be consequences.”

Trembling with fear, Lanny acquiesced, pledging to keep Mabel’s dreams suppressed.

While I won’t retaliate against her, she must apologize to Elyse upon waking,” he added sternly. “And it must be a sincere apology, with her kneeling.”
