Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa breathed heavily, feeling anxious. "The most important thing now is to find Taty. She's really crazy. How could she expose
this live? She's throwing herself into the abyss!"
Jasper's heart clenched as well.
No one understood better than he and Alyssa what it was like to be thrust into the spotlight. One wrong move, and they would be
sent plummeting from the heights to their downfall.
"Ms. Alyssa!" Sean ran up to them. His voice was hoarse from the urgency. "Taty is still livestreaming, and the viewer count has
exceeded two million! Why... Why would she suddenly expose this? What did Mr. Cyrus say to her?"
Alyssa stared at the screen, where Tatiana sat upright. Though her expression was pale, she looked serious. Her eyes were
shining with unwavering determination.
Seeing that, Alyssa felt like her heart was being crushed by a pair of giant hands, spasming with pain.
Meanwhile, below the livestream, the comments were flooding in at such a rapid pace that it was dizzying. But at a glance, it
revealed a torrent of negative comments.
"People nowadays are shamelessly exploiting anything for attention. She's actually using this for publicity?"
"I know her. She's Solana Film Academy's campus belle. She must be trying to latch onto David for fame."
"Solana Film Academy's campus belle is a Taylor? And she almost got sexually harassed by David? What a tacky soap opera
plot! She must be making this up."
"Girl, if what you said is true, then I hope it's false. But if you're lying, then I hope you get screwed by ten Schmidts!"

"Yeah, you say David harassed you, but do you have evidence? Do you have a video? Can we see it for free?"
Their words were extremely harsh. Even though their mocking laughter remained unheard, its impact felt deafening.
"What do we do, Ms. Alyssa? What do we do now?"
Sean's eyes were red from anger, and his heart was wrenching. "Can we make Taty stop? Can we stop the live stream? Taty is
timid. With no one by her side supporting her, if she sees those negative comments... I'm afraid she'll have an emotional
breakdown."
Even at this moment, he didn't blame Tatiana in the slightest. His sole wish was to locate her as swiftly as possible and offer his
support.
"Sean, calm down. At the very least, we know Taty isn't missing, and she's safe now."
The more critical the situation was, the more Jasper displayed the calm and steady demeanor a ruler would show.
"And the live stream has been going on for this long. We can't just cut it off abruptly. That would only lead to speculation and
rumors, which would only bring more vicious attacks on Taty."
Alyssa's breathing was heavy, and she felt like the air around her had become thin. Her fingers trembled as they curled around
Jasper's hand.
Jasper gently rubbed her shoulder with his hand. His gaze darkened.
"Taty going public with this indicates she's been holding back for quite a while, with a lot on her mind. So, let her speak her mind.
Better out than in. And even if the worst happens, she still has Lyse and me to support her. Those demons can't hurt her."

Sean pressed his lips into a line as he looked at Jasper with gratitude shining in his moist eyes.
Just then, Tatiana's sweet and gentle voice came through the stream.
"Whether you believe it or not, I'm speaking out here today not just for myself but for those women who have suffered at the
hands of David Schmidt and can't seek justice."
