Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2321

After lunch, Alyssa and Sean headed straight for Mildred's home.

This area was a well-known slum in Solana City. The poverty, neglect, and chaos were even more desolate under a blanket of snow.

Mildred's family lived in a rundown house with dirty bricks on the rooftop, giving the impression that the entire structure might collapse with the slightest gust of wind.

"This is terrible. How could this be?" Sean shook his head, feeling indignant. "The victim's family lives in such dire conditions, and their lives have been shattered. Meanwhile, Justin continues to live as a high-and-mighty, well-respected scion, completely unpunished for his crime. Where is the justice?"

With a gloomy look in her eyes, Alyssa sighed. "How can an ordinary citizen fight against a powerful tycoon? This is only one case that you know of. There are countless other dehumanizing and immoral incidents in this world that remain hidden. Many people may never learn about them."

As Alyssa and Sean conversed, they soon found themselves at the door to Mildred's home.

"Who are you both looking for?" An old woman walked over with a walking stick. Noticing how well-dressed Alyssa and Sean were, she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Hello, ma'am. We are looking for Mildred Hayes's mother. Her last name is Rollins. Do you know her?" Alyssa gave the old woman a friendly smile.

The old woman's expression shifted to alarm. "Why are you looking for her?"

Sean stepped forward and smiled kindly. "Ma'am, we just want to speak with Ms. Hayes's mother to gather some information about her daughter. We're here to help, so don't be nervous. We're not bad people."

"My advice to you both is to let it go!" The old woman shook her head helplessly. "Mildred's mother might actually get aggressive if you mention Mildred. Besides, she's already lost her mind. Even if you ask her something, she may not be able to provide coherent answers."

Alyssa and Sean exclaimed in shock, "She's gone insane?"

Esther had been quite coherent when she shouted accusations at Newton in the cemetery the other day, despite being agitated.

The old woman clarified, "She is only of unsound mind at times. When she's sane, she wouldn't say a thing. When she's not, she'd wave a cleaver and yell at the walls."

Alyssa probed, "What does she yell about?"

"Something about the Becketts… But she mumbles, so I can't really catch everything she says."

Alyssa and Sean shot each other a look.

After surveying their surroundings, Alyssa said indignantly, "Has no one ever come to help this family over the years? Hasn't anyone visited to improve their living conditions?"
