Chapter 262: Chapter 262

Jonah carefully watched his sister as she spoke. Alyssa was an opportunist, always seizing whatever chance she got, even if that meant breaking the rules of the game.

One small opening was all she needed to turn the tide in her favor and strike down her enemies.

Curtis appeared puzzled for a moment, not expecting that question.

“It looks like you know the answer.”Alyss a sneered.

“I …I do …” Curtis swallowed nervously.His voice shook as he said, “Because … the child is mine.”

Both Alyssa and Jonah tensed up in surprise. Alyssa flexed her hands excitedly. They had caught a big fish!

Jonah snapped,”Details. Now.”

“Liana frequented the gym in Mosgravia,where I worked as a personal trainer. She was so sexy, always batting her eyes and trying to seduce me. One thing led to the other, and we started sleeping together…”

Alyssa cocked an eyebrow.”Go on.”

“We both know this was purelytransactional, friends with benefits and nothing more. Liana always had other men to play around with anyway.

“Then, one time, both of us smoked somecoke. We got really high afterward and didn’t use any protection. She had a Plan B afterward, but we all know that shit isn’t 100% guaranteed. And that’s how she got pregnant.”

Alyssa blinked slowly, pleased with the amount of information they were getting.

Liana had taken drugs before. Alyssa tingled with excitement upon learning that.

“Why give birth to the child? With howevil Liana is,I doubt she would have consented to it.”

“She said an abortion would only makeher lose her ability to birth more children. No rich man would want her, she said. So she forced herself to birth the child.”

Having always avoided the topic of children, Alyssa winced just the slightest. She quickly readjusted her emotions, asking, “Where is the child now?”

“All I know is the child is in an orphanagedown in the South of Mosgravia. She’s about two to three years old now. I swear I don’t know anything else!”

Curtis didn’t dare conceal anything from Alyssa. Unfortunately, he never bothered to visit his daughter even once, so he could provide no other information.

“You two are a disgrace to mothers andfathers worldwide,”Jonah spat.”Did you really just decide to remove her from your life without even the slightest care? Like she’s some kind of trash?”

“Well, it’s not like that. I heard Liana’smother has secretly been keeping an eye on her all these years!

She was the one who took her away from us the moment she was born! That bitch must know where my daughter is!” Curtis was spineless. He even gave up such vital information.

Alyss a glanced at her brother. Jonah sent her the same look too. The siblings seemed to have thought of the same plan.

Just then, the cellar door opened, and a guard came with Curtis’ phone. “There’s an incoming call, Ms.

Alyssa.”

Alyss a took the device and eyed the caller ID.”Who is Ashley?”

Curtis sniffled loudly.”That’s … That’s Liana.”

“I want you to talk to her when this callgoes through.”Alyss a bent down to meet Curtis face-to-face.”No tricks, no lies, no sudden moves. Pretend like nothing happened.”

Curtis nodded vigorously, like some obedient dog.

When Alyssa answered the call, Curtis spoke, “Hey, Ashley. What’s up? You miss me, baby?”

“Shut up,”Liana scowled, then asked in ahushed tone, “You didn’t cause any trouble, did you?I told you to wait for my signal.”

Curtis cleared his throat.”Of course not. I await your instructions.”

Beside him, a cold sneer appeared on Alyssa’s lips.
