Can't Win Me Back

"That goes without saying." Javier left the room with a firm resolve. "I will not repeat my mistake!"

Betty had been spending her days locked up with the most vicious and filthy of female criminals in the detention center, where she slept on rock-hard beds and had nasty food for meals. Her life was worse than her time in Mosgravia.

After the news of the abduction broke out, Javier sent an attorney to visit Betty. The attorney had promised to bail her out on medical grounds and get her to the hospital in three days. She would be staying at a VIP patient suite, far away from the crummy detention center.

Betty, who had been acting timid and reserved in detention, immediately felt more spirited after learning about the incoming help. She did not learn her lesson and reverted to her arrogant self while still being detained.

However, the prisoners did not take it well. Enraged, they beat her and cursed at her the entire day, forcing her to clean the restrooms. They handed her a basin of water that had been contaminated with excretions to wash her face.

"How dare you put on airs at the detention center, you shameless bitch? Do you want a good beating?" Two female prisoners held her by the arms and forced her to kneel on the floor. The leader of the prisoners kicked Betty in the head, leaving a filthy shoe mark on her forehead.

"How dare you? Do you know who I am?" Struggling to break free, Betty shook her head and yelled, "I am Betty Beckett! Javier Beckett is my father! Bully me, and I'll teach you a painful lesson when I'm out!"

"If you are Javier Beckett's daughter, I'm his mom!" The leader kicked Betty once more, eliciting a cacophony of laughter from the other prisoners.

Betty bared her teeth at the leader like a rabid dog.

At that moment, the door to the prison cell swung open. A member of the police announced, "Betty Beckett, you have a visitor!"

Betty scrambled up from the floor, her eyes shining with hope. "Hahaha! I'll be out soon! Just wait and see, you bitches! I'll settle the score with every one of you!" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Clad in the inmate uniform, Betty was led into the visiting room.

"Dad! Dad, you're finally here!" Betty cried when she saw Javier sitting on the other side of the glass panel. He wore a sour expression. "Dad, look how badly they beat me up!

"They beat me all day, made me clean the toilets, and even forced me to drink pee! By the way, did you know they insulted you behind your back?

"Dad, how could you have the heart to make me suffer? Get me out right now!"

Javier continued glaring at her without a word. Finally, Rory slowly began, "You shouldn't have committed a crime if you didn't want this treatment. You deserve this life for hurting your sister."

"What does that have to do with me?" Betty argued without a hint of remorse. "It was Zoe's idea from the very start! She started the trouble and tried to drag me down with her. I was forced into it!"

Rory chuckled emotionlessly. "Didn't you turn in Ms. Lauren's diagnosis to the Harpers and bully her with the others? Did Zoe force you to do that too?"
