Chapter 64
Revealing The Truth
Hearing that Mabel was holding back some information, Lanny hung up the call and stormed to meet Mabel with a frown on his face.
'At that moment, Mabel looked like a shadow and was staring at nothing in particular. Glenda was beside her, wailing with tears streaming down her face.
"How could you have acted so stupid, Mabel? What's there to like about Theo? If only you could be open-minded for a moment, you'd see just how mistaken you are about him!"
Mabel still had a faint mark running down her neck. She had done all she could to get her parents' support to marry Theo.
Clearing her throat, she pleaded weakly, "Mom, you've got to understand that my heart is with Theo. There's no way for me to be happy without him."
At that moment, Lanny walked into the room with his face dark. Approaching Mabel, he said coldly, "Tell me exactly what happened between you and Theo before you got into a bed with him!"
Stunned, Mabel swallowed hard as a look of nervousness spread across her face. Her father had just asked her a question she hadn't thought he'd ask.
"Nothing happened, Dad. Besides, you shouldn't be asking me such questions as I'm feeling quite sad right now," she replied feebly.
Lanny scoffed and asked sarcastically, "You're quite sad right now? Why on earth would you be sad after you got what you wanted? Hey, are you really on the hook for millions to compensate for some red wine?"
Shocked that the truth was on the verge of being uncovered, Mabel cringed in fear and looked visibly distressed.
Glenda stopped crying for a moment and asked with a confused look on her face, "Who do you owe millions? How is that even possible?"
Feeling that her game was up, Mabel, without omitting anything, narrated all that had happened to
her parents.
Seeking to deepen her relationship with Theo, she had contacted him and asked that they meet up. After meeting up, she decided that having sex with him was something that she had to make
happen.
So, she had come up with an excuse about not having ever been to a bar to convince Theo to take her to one. Upon arrival, before she could pretend to be drunk and collapse into Theo's arms, she had "accidentally" knocked over several bottles of wine worth millions of dollars.
To save her from her dilemma, Theo had paid for the wine that she had destroyed and didn't even tell her to return the money.
Believing that Theo had acted out of the goodness of his heart, Mabel had told herself that he was the ideal lover that she had always wanted. Therefore she offered to repay him by sleeping with him, and since he didn't turn her down, they ended up having sex.
After that, Mabel felt satisfied with herself for a moment until she realized that she had just simply had sex with Theo and hadn't got him to ask her out or offer to marry her.
She had felt pained at the huge loss she had incurred.
Trembling, she asked Lanny, "You can't possibly tell me that you're unaffected by the fact that the

person that I lost my virginity to isn't my husband, right? Come on, Dad! I want nothing more than
to be Theo's wife! Besides, just imagine all the benefits that I will bring upon my family by marrying Theo, a son of the Ward family, which is one of the most influential and richest families in the city!"
Hearing this, Lanny couldn't help but shake his head in disgust. Mabel, spoiled as she was, had acted in such a misguided way without even sparing a moment to consider what she was getting into. What's more, she was still even dreaming of becoming Theo's wife!
Despite how cunning and greedy Lanny was, he knew that it was going to be near impossible for Mabel to marry into the Ward family.
When Elyse and Theo had been on the verge of getting married, the Ward family resisted without an iota of shame. If Mabel, who was arrogant and less appealing than Elyse knocked on their door, they would boot her away without hesitation.
But then, even if Mabel successfully got Theo to marry her, she would suffer a fate worse than Elyse's.
Pissed, Lanny fumed, "Just who the hell do you think you are? How can you get so delusional to. the point that you've convinced yourself that Revealing The Truth
Theo is willing to marry you? Shouldn't you have figured out by now that if he planned to take you seriously, he wouldn't have slept with you, his ex-fiancée's sister? For him to treat Elyse so poorly despite having a bit of love for her, how do you think he's going to treat you, a girl he doesn't even have an iota of feeling for?"
After a brief pause, he added, "Yet here you are, trying to use the fact that he took your virginity to blackmail him! Do you think he attaches any importance to getting a woman in bed with him?

eye! Do you think he takes you as any different from those loose women?"
Hearing this, Mabel bit her lip and clenched her teeth in anger. In all but words, her dad had just called her a loose woman!
"Why are you saying all these hurtful words to me instead of supporting me, Dad? Have you forgotten that I'm your daughter? I need..."
Without allowing her to finish her words, Lanny interrupted firmly, "It's because you're my
daughter that I'm refusing to sugarcoat how stupid you've been! Wake up to reality and know that Theo doesn't love you in the slightest!"
Glenda placed a hand on Lanny's shoulder and tried to calm him down, saying, "Go gentle on our daughter, Honey. She deserves a break."
"Go gentle on her? You do know that you're the root cause of this! This girl wouldn't have acted the way she did if only you had brought her up to not become a spoiled and entitled individual!" Shaking his head in anger, Lanny pointed an index finger at Mabel's nose and continued, "Have you any idea what Theo said? He informed us that we have to pay him what he used to cover your debt before he can agree to talk to us! The only reason he slept with you was because of the millions that he had spent. To him, you were just another woman that graced his bed!"waw.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Refusing to accept this as the truth, Mabel said through gritted teeth, "Then just do what he wants! Pay him the money and then I can start to discuss marriage with him!"
"You make it sound so easy. Can you pay back the several million dollars?" Lanny asked with a
sneer.
