Bryson and Audrey arranged Curtis' meeting with Emiliano for the following morning.

Because the restaurant wouldn't open until after 10 a.m., Curtis had time in the morning.

It was National Day, and the Cordova group had a holiday, so Bryson drove Audrey to Edgeville Prison, where Emiliano was held.

Edgeville Prison was the strictest prison in Peace City, and Emiliano was in a separate cell. Two prison guards were outside his cell, having been specially designated to guard Emiliano by Bryson.

When they saw Bryson come, they respectfully bowed to Bryson and then went outside under Bryson's signal, leaving Curtis alone in front of the cell door.

Emiliano stood up excitedly when she saw Curtis.

She kept looking outside the cell door, but she couldn't find the person she had been looking for. She felt anxious.

Curtis looked at Emiliano coldly.

"You don't have to look anymore. I didn't bring Ben over."

Emiliano looked at Curtis with disappointment. "Why didn't you bring Ben? I clearly said that I wanted to see him."

Curtis said coldly, "What do you want to see him for? Do you want him to know that his mother committed a crime and is about to be sentenced? Do you want him to remain the son of a prisoner his entire life and never be able to look his peers in the eye?"

"No matter what, Ben is my son. I have the right to see him, and you have the obligation to bring him here."

"Obligation?" Curtis sneered at Emiliano. "You left us not long after you gave birth to Ben. In the past few years, you haven't even come back to see him once. You haven't fulfilled your obligation as a mother at all. What right do you have to say that you want to see him?"

Emiliano stuttered.

"I... I had to leave at that time."

"Had to? What's more important than your own family to make you leave without hesitation? At that time, you just thought that I was incapable. Why did you make such a high-sounding excuse?"

Knowing that her thoughts were exposed, Emiliano's face turned ugly.

"When I was with you at that time, we were short of food and clothing every day. We didn't even have money to see a doctor for Ben. How do you expect me to follow through with that?"
