A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 508

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?"

"So you saw a rich man and followed him to the city, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Emiliano did not dare to look Curtis in the eye.

"I just wanted to go out and earn some money."

Curtis took a deep breath.

"I don't want to argue with you about these things now. The past is already gone. Ben and I already have a new life. In Ben's eyes, his mother has already passed away." Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"What? You actually lied to Ben that I was dead?"

Curtis asked with a sneer, "Then what should I do? Tell him that you abandoned him and ran off with a rich man for money?"

Emiliano couldn't refute.

"But Ben is my son. Why can't I see my son? Curtis, we have known each other for so many years. We have been together for so many days and nights. Now, I just want to see Ben. Can you please fulfill my wish?"

Seeing Emiliano's sincere attitude, Curtis' heart softened for a moment.

However, at the thought of what Emiliano had done, Curtis heartlessly rejected her.

"No way!"

Emiliano's expression changed.

"I want to see Bryson. I clearly said that I wanted to see Ben, but he only let you come alone. Tell him that I won't testify."

"I came here today to tell you that you have to testify because... You owe that person."

Emiliano frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember Mrs. Koch?"

"Why did you suddenly mention her?" Emiliano's face darkened.

"It is her daughter who is in charge of this case. You owe her."

"Didn't Mrs. Koch's daughter disappear six years ago? How could she still be in Peace City?"

"She didn't disappear. Instead, she went abroad. However, she came back this year, and... She became the most popular lawyer in Peace City, Audrey Koch."

"What did you say? Audrey is Mrs. Koch's daughter?"

"That's right!" Curtis nodded. "So, this is what you owe Mrs. Koch. After all, if it weren't for you, she wouldn't have..."

"Stop it." Emiliano's voice trembled slightly.

"Even if you don't want to hear it, it's the truth. Mrs. Koch died because of you."

"Stop it, I beg you." Emiliano held her head and shook it hard.

Curtis sighed. "That's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you want to testify or not."

With that, Curtis turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Emiliano stopped Curtis.

Curtis turned to Emiliano and asked, "What else do you want to say?"

Emiliano looked at Curtis with red eyes. "Curtis, I beg you. I really miss Ben. I really want to see him. Please let me see him just once."

"Impossible!"

After saying that heartless word, Curtis walked away from the cell door.

Curtis came up to Audrey and said, "Ms. Audrey, I spoke with her and she'll agree to testify in court."

Audrey looked at Curtis in surprise.

"Really?"

Curtis nodded. "Yes!"

"Thank you, Mr. Pritchett." Audrey looked at Curtis with a smile.

"Ms. Audrey, can I ask you a question?"

The smile on Audrey's face remained unchanged. "Please, Mr. Pritchett."

"If, I mean if... If Ben's mother did something unforgivable to you, would you... still treat Ben well?"

Audrey was a bit confused.

Audrey had no relationship with that woman called Emiliano at all. There was nothing unforgivable.

Or was Curtis talking about Emiliano threatening Audrey?

Audrey smiled and said, "I treat Ben well because I like him. That's between me and Ben. It has nothing to do with others."

Curtis heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Ms. Audrey."

You are very welcome. I should thank you for getting Ms. Reid to agree to testify."

"Ms. Audrey, the restaurant will open shortly. I have to hurry back. Let's meet again when we're free."

"Okay."

...

After Curtis left, Emiliano said as expected that she would be testifying for the case.

Audrey went to see Emiliano. When Audrey saw Emiliano's face, her entire body trembled as if she had seen something incredibly terrifying.
