Chapter 563:

Clutching the cash, Glenda was en route to the nearby pharmacy to pick up contraceptive pills when she suddenly encountered the foul-smelling Lanny. His level of drunkenness was unclear, yet his wobbly walk and festive demeanor suggested he was deeply intoxicated.

Encountering Lanny, Glenda was overwhelmed with anger, bringing back painful memories of Mabel’s ordeal. She approached him swiftly and slapped him hard across the face.

The slap seemed to snap some sense into Lanny.

With a look of deadly seriousness, he stared at her and growled, “Have you lost your senses? What’s come over you?”

Glenda, infuriated, shot back, “How could you trade our daughter away? Do you have any idea what she’s gone through? How could you be so heartless?” Her anger was palpable as she continued, “She’s your own flesh and blood!”

Lanny responded coldly, “For years, I’ve taken care of her, and now that I’m badly in need of money, it’s time for her to repay me.” He spoke with clear disdain, adding, “If that arrangement doesn’t work for you, then we might as well end our marriage!”

Glenda’s anger peaked as she retorted, “You cruel man! Don’t forget how you got your wealth!”

Unbeknownst to her, her words would touch a nerve. A sinister smile slowly appeared on Lanny’s face, sending a shiver through Glenda.

His piercing eyes bore into hers as he whispered threateningly, “I haven’t forgotten, but have you?”
