Can't Win Me Back - Season 3 Episode 84

Liana was terrified and lost when she got back to the hospital. Alyssa’s threatening words

echoed in her ears. She bit her nails anxiously and paced her room.

“No,I can’t let this go on! She’s thedaughter of the Taylor Family, not to mention that she’s

a snake. Now that she has learned about my history of studying in Mosgravia, she’ll only

dig deeper!”

Liana couldn’t sit back anymore. She needed to handle the matter proactively. Trembling,

she dialed Curtis’number. 1

It took hi m a while to pick up.”What’s up? It’s late…”

“Curtis! Alyssa Taylor is looking into me.She might find out about our relationship

soon.”Gaze smoldering, she felt her throat catch fire. “You must leave Solana City as soon

as possible.”

“Pfft …Is this a trick to ditch me? I willnot stop until I get my money.”

“If Alyssa learns about us, my marriage toJasper will go down the drain!You won’t even get five cents, not to mention five million!”she growled.

“Fine. Fine. I’ll trust you this once, butyou’d better not pull anything on me. If not …”

“I promise to give you every cent. Let’s cutcontact for now to avoid any troubles.”She

hung up promptly. Yet, she couldn’t stop her hand from shaking.

She pulled herself together and made a call to Rosaline. “Mom, come to the hospital now. I

have something urgent to discuss with you.”

…

On the other side, Alyssa was holding Curtis’ phone. The screen had gone dark.

Curtis had been imprisoned in a dark

underground space that was heavily guarded. Escape was almost impossible.

The only thing worth celebrating was that he had successfully moved into a seated

position from being suspended upside down. It was such a relief that he almost bowed to

Alyssa in gratitude. Had he remained hanging from the ceiling, he might have died from a

brain hemorrhage.

“Not bad. Your acting has improved.” Shehanded Sean the phone and arched her br ow

sarcastically.

“Don’t mention it. I should be working foryou, Ms. Taylor.”He looked pale from fear. After

all, he had recently lost two tendons in his hand. The last thing he wanted was to be

injured in the feet.

“Liana Gardner’s birthday will be in a fewdays.”Alyssa sat comfortably in the chair and

crossed her slender legs.

She continued, “I need you to work with us and follow your script. If you act well, I

will send you to rehabilitate in prison as a reward. If not, everything’s on you—you’ll meet

your maker.”

“U-Understood. I’ll only listen to you!”Curtis was drenched in cold sweat and nodded

furiously.

Alyssa chuckled.”I heard you had one potato a day. Tsk tsk, how could you hold out with

that little food? Sean, send the food over.”

“Sure.”

Soon, Sean laid a food tray in front of Curtis. The tray not only contained four freshly

baked potatoes, but it also came with a grilled chicken and a bottle of beer.

After days of surviving on a potato a day, Curtis could eat a horse. He stared keenly at the

grilled chicken as his tears and saliva flowed.

“Eat up. This is from Ms. Alyssa.” Seanstared at Curtis coldly and placed the tray in front

of the starved man like it was dog

food.

Curtis slurped and looked at Alyssa with teary eyes.”Ms. Alyssa, why is there so much

food? Is this my last meal?”

……

After leaving the underground room, the exhausted Alyssa had a good stretch.”Let’s go

home.”

“Why did you prepare food for that jerk?”Sean felt pained when he recalled the events

from that horrifying night. His eyes were brimming with tears.”Should have let that

opportunistic and cruel bastard eat his shit.”

“I need Curtis’help in defeating LianaGardner.”
