Chapter 284
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

“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.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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.”
