Chapter 312 Eighty Million
In the ward, Mabel slowly opened her eyes, feeling disoriented, to find Glenda asleep with her head at the edge of the bed. She murmured, confused, "Mom, what's wrong with me?" Why am I in the hospital?"
The sound of her voice woke Glenda, who, realizing Mabel was: Free> 12:33 lit up with relief and excitement. She quickly pressed the call button to summon the doctor, then grasped Mabel's hand tightly. "Oh, sweetheart, please don't scare me like that again. You're all I have. What would I do if I lost my only child?"
"But isn't Elyse your daughter too?" Mabel asked, still puzzled.
Caught off guard, Glenda gave an laugh. "Oh, I just got carried away there.”
Mabel shrugged off the ment and attempted to rise, only to find her right leg unresponsive. Looking down in alarm, she exclaimed, "Mom, what's happened to my leg? Is it gone?"
Glenda quickly reassured her, "No, no, it's stil there! You just broke it when you jumped from the Memories of the incident started to e back to Mabel. "What about Elyse? What did she say? Did Jayden lift the ban? Can I return to my singing
Glenda was at a loss for words, knowing Jayden had not rescinded the ban and that Mabel had to grovel to
After a moment's hesitation, she said gently, "Darling, I think it might be time to consider a different path. It seems your singing career might be over. People aren't forgiving."
Mabel looked at her mother, her eyes wide with disbelief and hurt. She couldn't fathom why her mother would suggest she give up on her dreams.
"You always had my back, but now things have changed!"
Mabel cried out, overwhelmed to the point of feeling dizzy as the room seemed to spin around her.
Trembling with fear, she exclaimed, "Mom! Am I going to die? I'm so dizzy!"
Glenda explained calmly, "You hit your head back then. It's a moderate concussion. Try to stay
calm and not get worked up, or you'll feel dizzy again."
Confined to her bed, a wave of sadness washed over Mabel. She had lost her career and now lay injured.
It all started because of Elyse, who showed no remorse whatsoever.
Mabel felt extremely unfair. Why was she the only one who was so miserable?
As the medical team entered the ward with their advanced equipment, Glenda moved aside to send a message to Lanny, assuring him of Mabel's well-being. Meanwhile, she couldn't help but curse Elyse for her ingratitude. Mabel was in this state, yet Elyse hadn't even bothered to visit. Right after sending the message, Mabel, feeling somewhat better after her check-up, demanded, "Mom, where's my phone? I need it now."
Glenda quickly handed over the phone to Mabel.
Mabel turned on her phone, hoping to check if her fans were stil following her, but her agent's message instantly soured her mood.
Aylin demanded pensation for breached contracts, claiming Mabel owed a staggering eighty million dollars.
Mabel scoffed in disbelief. She hadn't even made that much money yet!
Despite her frustration, she knew she couldn't afford to fall out with Aylin, who she might need in the future.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
After a moment's thought, Mabel turned to her mother, hesitating before asking, "Mom, do we even have eighty million?"
The mere mention of such an amount made Glenda wary. "Why do you ask? Planning on buying something big?"
Avoiding her mother's gaze, Mabel casually inquired, "Just wondering. Dad's always been eager to please Jayden. I'm sure he's given him a hefty sum, right?"
Glenda shook her head and replied, "! wouldn't know about his pany's profits. You'd have to ask him about that."
Mabel bit her lip in frustration. "But how could Dad just hand over money? He's always been more concerned about accumulating it than anything else."
Glenda, noticing Mabel's fixation on the topic, grew concerned. "Why this sudden interest in
money? Is something wrong? Do you need money?"
Remembering how Lanny had treated Glenda, Mabel quickly reassured her, "No, I'm just curious about our family's finances, that's all. wo)m.
