"Shut up!" Monique felt irritated after being provoked.
"It's not like that! No! I didn't kill my brother! I was so good to my brother, how could I have killed him?"
The prison guards immediately suspended the meeting upon noticing her behavior.
"The prisoner is in distress. Take her out now!"
After he spoke, someone immediately came in and took Monique away. Nelson frowned as he looked at Monique's back, letting out an inexplicable sigh.
At that moment, the situation on the other side was completely different.
Friday heard that Bennett would not come to visit her, so she almost lost all of her motivation to live. She had not eaten or drunk for the past few days.
When she heard that Bennett had come to visit her, she nervously combed her hair.
Then, she anxiously asked a female prison guard, "Do you have any cosmetics?"
The female prison guard saw how pitiful she was, so she gave her a lipstick that she had brought along with her.
"Your complexion looks much better now!"
Frida nodded. Only then did she stand up, satisfied, and walk into the meeting room.
Bennett looked impatient. However, due to Naomi's presence outside, he tried his best to restrain himself.
"You're here!" He said in a low voice, "Are you all right?"
He was being overly formal.
Frida's face was filled with anxiety. They had not seen each other for many years. In the past few years, they had only conversed through communication channels, therefore she knew that he was good-looking.
Now that she had seen him with her own eyes, she felt satisfied.
"Bennett, thank you."
Bennett frowned and said, "Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for coming to visit me! Actually, even if you didn't come, I wouldn't have blamed you! I know that I have embarrassed you!"
Bennett's face darkened.
"Since I'm here, why are you still talking about that? You need to reform yourself and get out of here as soon as possible!"
Frida's eyes lit up upon hearing his words.
"W-will you wait for me?"
Bennett stayed silent as he handed to her some daily necessities that had been inspected. Naomi had bought them on their way there.
"This is for you!"
Frida stretched her hand out to take them. The bag was filled with all sorts of common daily necessities. She was so moved that her eyes turned red.
"Bennett, you're so kind to me. I promise you, I'll reform and come out early to marry you."
Bennett frowned slightly, and the disgust on his face was as clear as day.
However, as Frida was emotional, she failed to notice those shifts at all.
She was still staring at Bennett's gifts. She had clearly given Bennett a lot of money. Although Bennett had bought those items, they would only cost him a little more than a hundred dollars.
She was extremely happy.
There was a simple and crude hairpin that was a free gift from a tissue packet. Naomi had stuffed it into the bag as well.
Frida saw the hairpin, picked it up happily and gestured to her head.
"This is great! I don't have anything to tie my hair with. Do you think I'll look good if I tie my hair like this?"
Bennett glanced at her lightly and saw her nails, which were a little black.
He immediately looked at her with disgust and hummed in assent.
This time, Frida saw his expression. A little panicked, she withdrew her hand and put her fingers behind her back.
"1-1 have not been in a good condition these days, therefore I didn't have the time to take care of myself. I am not a person who doesn't take care of myself. I will..."
