Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 471

Alyssa was quiet on the way from Belbanks to Solana City. There was no hint of her good mood from days ago. Her face was shrouded in gloominess.

Back at the hotel, she kept Sean out and locked herself in her office. Then, she plunged into her investigations about Lyla’s incident years ago.

“The anniversary celebration was the darkest moment in Lyla’s life. Yet, it was because of this incident that her relationship with Winston Taylor blossomed,” wrote an article.

“The internet was in its early stages back in those days. People read their news from magazines or

newspapers.

“Winston Taylor was rumored to have bought all the publications that reported on the incident and

destroyed all the evidence to suppress the news.

“On top of that, he meted out punishments for the reporters who penned stories on Lyla’s mishap.”

“Still, there were some foreign media at the event. Someone filmed the incident and uploaded it to the internet. Winston Taylor had sent his men to take the videos down, but fragments of it lingered on the

internet.”

Alyssa inhaled deeply and stared keenly at the computer screen while typing away furiously. Before long, she unearthed a blurry recording of the event that had remained buried for over two decades.
