Can’t Win Me Back

With help from a woman named “Ms. Gardner”, Betty returned to Solana City successfully. After that, she hid in a single-story house in a small village on the outskirts of town, just like a wanted criminal.

She only dared to roam around nearby and only left the house to purchase necessities. Other than that, she didn’t dare to journey too far.

She had no guts to stay at any hotel or inn. She feared that she would be captured by Jasper’s men the moment she showed her face in the city.

Her living condition was akin to a rat living in the sewers. This ignited the fire of hatred within her even more. She couldn’t wait to get her revenge so that she could get out of her current situation.

At nightfall, Betty and Zoe agreed to meet at a quiet café in the suburbs.

When her coffee was served, Zoe caught a whiff of it and pushed it away in disgust.

“What’s this? Horse shit? Is this even drinkable?”

Betty, on the other hand, drank her coffee calmly. “It’s coffee from civet poop.”

“Poop my ass. Just one sniff was enough for me to tell that it was animal poop.

This is just like shit!”

Despite that comment, Zoe still didn’t forget to tease Betty. “It seems like you’ve really turned over a new leaf, Betty. You’re even able to stomach such a disgusting drink. You’re quite adaptable, aren’t you?”

“It’s quite meaningful to be able to experience country life,” Betty commented.

She then took another sip of the coffee expressionlessly.

At that moment, Zoe’s phone rang. She got up and went outside to answer the call.

Betty’s eyes went dim instantly. She bit down hard on her finger until it bled.
