?<strong>Chapter 556:</strong>


    Lanny responded, “Yes, I do. If she was not imprisoned by you guys, how could I not meet her for days?”


    Elyse rolled her eyes at Lanny for his insolence.


    With Lanny being the cause of Dorothy’s death, the homicide attempt on Glenda was not under investigation anymore. As a matter of fact, Elyse could now truly release Glenda.


    But they were both monsters. How could she let them off the hook?


    On seeing the perplexed and wearied face Elyse wore, Lanny changed to a soothing tone. “I’m aware I didn’t treat you well enough, but Glenda has looked after you, hasn’t she? Are you going topel her to her demise? Are you going to lead us both to our early graves?”


    Elyse sneered. “Back then, both of you treated me badly. So don’t y the family card here. It won’t work on me.”


    Lanny’s countenance changed immediately. He clenched his fists and wished he could snuff the life out of her.


    But he knew better than to act rashly. His desperation was growing, and he had to tread carefully.


    “But I would love to set up a meeting for you and Glenda,” Elyse said, approaching the furious Lanny with a shadowy smirk encroaching on her lips.


    She was determined to make this encounter as ufortable for him as possible.


    She turned to Driscoll, “Please bring Glenda here. She must be missing her husband, whom she hasn’t seen for a while, right?”


    Without any dy, Driscoll passed the information to the guards using the inte.


    Glenda didn’t know what was happening when she was brought over. She assumed it was Mabel who came to see her again, and she was so nervous. How many times did she need to tell Mabel for her to understand?


    When Glenda was brought into the room, she caught a glimpse of Lanny.


    She didn’t know that he had gone behind bars for running someone over with a car. She thought Lanny was here to take her back home.


    The thought of this made Glenda tear up. For a moment, she felt she had made the right decision by marrying him and that he still had feelings for her.


    Elyse looked at Lanny with a piercing gaze and said, “I let you see her, and I think this is me being considerate enough. If I were inconsiderate, I’d have driven you away.”


    With tears still welling up in Glenda’s eyes, a puzzled look appeared on her face. “What do you mean? Didn’t Lannye to take me home?”


    “I want to, but Elyse won’t let me. I can’t take you home if she does not approve,” Lanny said, looking helpless.


    Glenda’s countenance changed immediately. She was filled with anger and hatred toward Elyse, thinking that Elyse was the obstacle to her freedom.


    Elyse found her expression funny. Totally ignoring Lanny’s words, she asked him, “Why is Mabel not here? I vividly remember her showing more concern for Glenda than you ever did. Why are you the only person present today?”


    Glenda also became interested in Lanny’s reply.


    When Mabel’s name was mentioned, Lanny felt slightly empathetic, but he quickly shrugged off those emotions. He replied, “Mabel is preupied today and cannot make it. I’d like to take Glenda home myself.”


    Elyse smiled and said, “I can’t make such a decision on my own. You should ask Jayden. He is the only one who can decide.”


    Lanny was filled with rage. “Jayden would never release Glenda. He is so deranged that he could lock her up and ensure she never steps foot outside.”


    “Humph! You don’t say. Why am I not conversant with this… me being deranged?” Jayden asked in a calm but lukewarm voice.


    He walked into the living room with a cold aura, looking at Lanny with an intense gaze before standing beside Elyse. He said to Lanny with an unyielding voice, “Choose your words carefully, or you’ll face the consequence.”


    “Please forgive me, Mr. Owen. I was merely speaking out of anger. I didn’t mean it,” Lanny pleaded quickly, realizing he had overstepped.


    Jayden looked at Lanny only for a brief moment before turning his gaze toward Glenda. He said, “I can let Glenda go. Dorothy was killed by you, after all, wasn’t she?”


    As astonished as ever, Glenda asked, “Is it true, Lanny? Did you kill Dorothy?”


    Lannypletely understood why Glenda was shocked, so he quickly shouted at her, “Keep quiet! You do not have the right to speak.”


    After saying that, he shed an irradiating smile at Jayden and said, “I know you guys were so concerned about Dorothy, and she meant a lot to you, but that was all an ident. I will always reflect on the mistakes I made for the rest of my life.”
