Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078 I Have Never Loved You

“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.

“I-I 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…”

However, before she could finish her sentence, Bennett stood up.

“I still have something to do, so let’s call it a day. I’ll leave first!”

After that, he turned around and walked out.

Then, Frida quickly stood up to catch up to him.

“Then, when will you come to see me again?”

Bennett said perfunctorily, “I’ll come when I’m free.”

“Can you come to visit me again next month? Just once. Next month is your birthday, and I want to give you something.”

Bennett pursed his lips and said, “We’ll see.”

“You must come, okay? I…”

“Are you done?!”

Under her constant questioning, Bennett’s patience completely dissipated.

“Do you know that you’re really annoying and disgusting?”

Frida stood rooted to the ground as she stammered, “I-I’m sorry. We’ll talk again when you’re free…”

“I’m not free at all! Let me tell you, I’m a very busy man. I won’t have any time at all.”

Frida’s face was pale, but she still nodded and said, “It’s alright! It’s fine if you don’t have time. When I get out, I’ll…”

“Don’t look for me when you get out! I don’t love you at all. I have never loved you! I was with you because I saw that you had some money! Now that you have nothing and have become like this, what makes you think that I will love you?”

Was there nothing lovable about her anymore?

A stabbing pain surged in Frida’s heart.

“Bennett, I know you’re talking nonsense because you’re mad. I shouldn’t have pestered you with so many questions. I won’t ask you about your past too. Please don’t be angry…”

“I’m really pissed off, but I’m not spouting nonsense. I’m telling you the truth! Look at you. You look ordinary, and you don’t have a good temper. Now that you have a bad reputation and a criminal record, how can I accept you? I will only be laughed at if I have a wife like you!”

Frida subconsciously clenched her fists as she said, “You used to say that I’m pretty…”

“Do you think I’m blind? You looked good when you were rich. Now, you look bad because you don’t have any money. Didn’t you just ask me about the hairpin just now? Let me tell you, you look ugly! You look ugly no matter how you wear it. And your lipstick, don’t put on such red shade when you have a dark complexion! You look so ugly!”

“You…” Frida could not help but take two steps back.

“What? I’m only telling you the truth! Let me say this clearly! If you want to die, just die! Don’t bother me anymore! Also, don’t bother me by asking your friends to look for me! I’m fed up with that!”

After that, he turned around and left.

…

Naomi was not in a good mood after she saw Nelson. She thought that Bennett would not come out so quickly, therefore she went to the washroom to wash her face.

When she came out, she heard someone shouting.

“Help! Something happened! The prisoner is hitting herself on the wall!”

Naomi was stunned. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Frida was being carried out of the room.

She felt her heart tighten and hurriedly caught up to them.

“What happened?”

The prison guard sighed and said, “The prisoner was agitated after her meeting, and then she started hitting herself on the wall…”

“Bennett!” Naomi gritted her teeth, shut her eyes for a bit, and chased after them. She asked, “Can I go with her?”

The prison guard nodded, remaining silent.

In the car, Frida woke up, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

The nurse gave her a simple bandage and said, “Her wounds are not serious, but she is in a bad mood and doesn’t seem to want to fight for her life.”

Naomi hated weak people. She said, “Why are you still thinking about that scum at this moment? Can’t us women stand up on our own? You’re clearly capable and you can do anything that you set your mind to!”

Frida looked at Naomi with a bitter smile as she replied, “It’s you! Of course you would say that. After all, you have everything.”

“Do I?” Naomi pursed her lips before asking, “Didn’t you see it with your own eyes that I was cheated on? If I were to die like you, wouldn’t everything I had done in the past be in vain?”
