BookToReadChapter 609:
Morgan agreed with a nod, “That sounds like a sensible plan. When are you thinking of doing it?”
After a moment's thought, Elyse replied, “In the spring. It’s too chilly now. | worry they'd feel the cold.”
Morgan gave a supportive smile. “You're right. It's better to wait for warmer weather.”

Later, Elyse and Morgan headed back to the hospital. Upon their safe return, Jayden set aside his paperwork and
inquired, “I heard Lanny killed his wife. He's really something.”
Elyse gave a nonchalant shrug. “It was bound to happen. He's always been cruel and heartless. He's been
arrested and will soon be sentenced. His cruelty will finally catch up with him.”
Jayden commented, “Understood. I'll take steps to ensure he’s sentenced swiftly.”
Elyse nodded in agreement. “Good. You might also want to let Mabel know about Glenda’s death and Lanny’s

Jayden immediately sent his men to deal with the matter.
Five days later, the trial took place. Lanny’s defense crumbled under the weight of solid evidence. By the end of
the trial, his arrogance had vanished. Looking defeated and worn, he was a shadow of his former self.
Following the trial, numerous reporters, tipped off by Jayden, gathered outside the courthouse to ensure Mabel
would learn of her parents’ fates through various media outlets.
Mabel, who had fled from Watscar, saw the news on television. The reality that her family’s business had been
shuttered, her mother was deceased, and her father was incarcerated overwhelmed her. She collapsed.
She began packing her things in her hotel room, determined to return to Watscar. She couldn't accept that her
mother had been killed and her selfish father had been arrested. She was skeptical of every detail in the news.
She wouldn't believe it unless she had verified everything personally.
As she was packing, her phone rang with a call from Kaelyn. Assuming Kaelyn was calling to offer comfort, she
answered immediately.
“Hello, Kaelyn. What can | do for you?”
Kaelyn sounded frantic as she asked, “Where are you right now? I'll cget you.”
Mabel was puzzled. “What's going on, Kaelyn? I'm in Yalara City and planning to head back to Watscar. I just
learned from TV my mom is dead and my dad is jailed. | can’t believe it until | see for myself.”
Kaelyn replied gravely, “You shouldnt go back. The news is accurate. If you return, your creditors will locate you.
It's all part of Elyse’s scheme.”
Mabel was shocked, struggling to grasp what Kaelyn was suggesting. “Why would you say it's her scheme? What
has she possibly done to my parents?” she inquired.
“I'm not sure of all the details. But your old creditors have been seen with her, lurking around your apartment.
They're probably waiting for you to chome.”
Mabel’s hands went cold. “Has Elyse orchestrated all this? Why would she target my family? What have we ever
done to her? Has she lost her mind?”
Kaelyn sighed, sounding defeated, “I don’t have all the details. Clearly, she isn’t willing to spare anyone in your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamily, including you. That's why I'm urging you not to go back. Stay hidden. You're not in a position to confront
her right now.”
Mabel laughed bitterly, driven by anger. “Kaelyn, you mean my family is destroyed and | have to flee just
because Elyse holds a grudge? Why should | run?”
Kaelyn paused, then suggested, “Since you're at a crossroads, why not cwith me? I'm planning to move
abroad. You could calong and rely on me. What do you think?”
After a pause, she added, “Also, | can help cover your tracks. That way, Elyse won't be able to find you. You'll be
safe.”
Mabel felt a flicker of temptation. Going abroad with Kaelyn seemed like her last option. Yet, she felt compelled
to return hto conduct her mother’s funeral. Mabel didn’t trust Elyse to respect her mother’s ashes, given her
deep-seated hatred for her family.
Kaelyn continued to persuade her, “Cwithoverseas. Once you gain more strength, you can seek
revenge against Elyse.”
After much deliberation, Mabel decided, “Okay, Kaelyn. I'll cwith you.”
