With weariness seeping in, Elyse drifted back into sleep.

She knew his intentions and feared Jayden's wrath, knowing she had offended him and potentially

faced dire consequences.

Glenda opened her mouth to respond but held back, choosing to keep her thoughts to herself for the moment.

She chose not to reveal the truth about their past to Mabel, opting instead to maintain the lie that Elyse was still her biological daughter.

Observing Glenda's inert state, Mabel intervened, pulling her up and nudging her towards the door. "Why are you so scared? I've told you, they won't harm us. Let's eat. As long as Elyse shows weakness, we'll win."

Mabel's buoyant demeanor contrasted sharply with Glenda's evident distress.
