Chapter 317:

Glenda replied softly, “Mabel has several phones. Which one are you looking for?”

Jayden looked at her sharply and replied icily, “I’ll need all of them.” Glenda’s heart skipped a beat at the intensity of Jayden’s gaze. She felt an urge to sit down but restrained herself. Obediently, she went to retrieve the phones.

Lanny, quick to grasp the situation, realized Jayden was suspicious of Mabel. He quickly tried to defend her. “Mr. Owen, I assure you, my daughter has nothing to do with this. She’s missing too, and she’s definitely not involved.”

Jayden gave him a knowing smile. “It seems you only think of Mabel. What about Elyse? Doesn’t she count as your daughter too?”

Lanny caught his mistake and dramatically slapped his own face, exclaiming, “Of course, Elyse is very much in my thoughts too. She’s actually my favorite, Mr. Owen, you have to believe me.”

Jayden’s suspicions deepened regarding Elyse’s relationship with the Lloyd couple. He had always felt that Lanny showed a bit more affection towards Elyse than Glenda did. Perhaps Elyse wasn’t Glenda’s child but solely Lanny’s. It seemed understandable for Lanny to show favoritism towards his younger daughter. But now Jayden noticed that Lanny’s behavior toward Elyse was no better than Glenda’s. It seemed Lanny usually hid his true feelings better. Now Lanny and Glenda were only concerned about Mabel because she was their biological daughter.

Jayden left without a word and headed straight for the parking lot. The police had cordoned off the area and already moved the body of Elyse’s driver, but they remained on the scene to investigate and look for clues. The kidnappers had not contacted the missing girls’ family.
