Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 

Colene plugged her fingers into her ears and mumbled, “Nope, not listening to you!” 

Alyssa was speechless at her antics. 

“There was indeed some history between Lyla and Sophia. Lyla wouldn’t have retired from the 

entertainment industry at the peak of her career if not for that woman.” 

Mandy’s unfeeling voice seemed to materialize out of thin air, causing Colene and Alyssa to yelp in shock. 

“Gosh, what are you doing, Mandy? You have a talent for sneaking up on people silently. Are you an 

apparition?” Colene rested a hand on her chest. 

It was funny that she never acted cute in front of Winston, but she was unusually adorable around Mandy. 

“Mandy, since when did you show up? I had no idea.” Alyssa sighed with relief, grateful that it wasn’t Lyla 

who had walked in on them. 

“I’ve been here since the beginning of your ‘private conversation,’ which was far too loud to be considered 

private,” Mandy quipped, briefly glancing outside the door before closing it. 

She went up to them and said, “Colene, there’s no point hiding everything now. Lyse is all grown up 

anyway. We should tell her.” 

Alyssa eagerly grasped Mandy’s hand and quietly waited for her to speak. 

Mandy began, “Sophia was envious of Lyla’s talent and popularity. So, she played dirty and subjected Lyla to bullying and ostracizing at the network. In the end, Lyla was drugged and lost control of herself at a 

huge event, which almost cost her reputation. 

Mandy had to take a deep breath before she could calmly recall the dark past. Meanwhile, Colene merely sighed wistfully without a word, unlike her usual boisterous self. 

“Drugged?” Alyssa felt her throat clammed up. She croaked, “Was Lyla …” 

“No, it wasn’t some kind of date rape drug,” Mandy reassured Alyssa. 

She felt a lump in her throat and lowered her voice, “It was an illegal drug that would affect one’s nervous 

system. The drug has since vanished from Cyrris, though it was once popular in the entertainment 

industry. You could describe it as a soft drug that was harmful to health.” 

Alyssa and Colene were stunned by the revelation as tears welled up in their eyes. 

Mandy was the daughter of the Lovelace family, who was practicing medicine and leading the top 

1/2 

“What happened after?” Alyssa clutched Mandy’s hand tightly. 

“Lyla… She wetted herself during her performance at TS Network’s founding anniversary celebration,” Mandy revealed with difficulty as tears brimmed. 

“Fuck … How did that happen?” Colene was outraged and instantly punched through the makeup mirror, 

shattering it. 

Alyssa’s shoulders were quivering as she held her breath. Even though the incident had occurred two decades ago, Alyssa could still feel the excruciating pain of humiliation. 

Lyla Nelson had once been the nation’s most beloved beauty. Tragically, that incident on her beloved 

stage had left her traumatized. 

Perhaps she would never find the courage to be her charismatic self again. 

“Mandy, how could you be sure that it was Sophia’s doing?” Alyssa questioned after forcing herself to 

calm down.
