Chapter 425 Find Ava

Chloe found this very amusing. She uttered slowly, “And yet, you’ve dared to do so.”

Joseph calmed down. After a pause, he said with composure, “I understand.”

She stared at his tall back as he walked in front of her. She wondered what he had understood.

The prison where Benjamin was locked up was located in the suburbs.

At this time of day, the inmates were having group activities. Everyone wore prison uniforms and were

standing out on the field. A prison guard called out Benjamin’s inmate number before taking him to the

visiting room.

Benjamin was bald now, but he had a cunning look about him. “Coco, what are you doing here? “He

appeared happy and surprised.

“I’d like to ask about my mother. Where did she come from? Are my grandparents still alive?”

Benjamin’s expression changed. He then fixed his intense gaze on Joseph. “Get out of here if you want

me to tell you anything. Regardless, I’m your father. You surely can’t bear to watch. me spend the rest

of my life here, can you?”

Chloe was stunned as she clenched her fists tightly. “You won’t tell me if I don’t help you?”

Benjamin looked guilty under her gaze of disbelief. “I’m only in my forties right now. Please be

considerate. No one wants to stay here.”

“Did you forget why you’re locked up here?” Joseph sounded icy.

“I know that I was wrong. Now, we’re each other’s only family. Can you bear to see me spend the rest

of my life in prison?”

Chloe shook her head emotionlessly. “You’re not my father. You’re the murderer who killed my mother.”

Not waiting for his reply, she stood up and said to Joseph, “Let’s go.” She was clearly disappointed in

Benjamin.

Joseph stroked her head with his large hand. “Wait outside. Let me talk to him.”

Chloe furrowed her brows, not wanting him to compromise and agree to Benjamin’s requests. But after

pondering it for a while, she realized that Joseph was not someone who was at others.

mercy, so she walked out of the visitation room.

Joseph spoke to the prison guard briefly. After hearing what he had to say, the guard’s expression

changed vastly before he rushed into the room with a few of his colleagues and taught Benjamin a

brutal lesson.

Chloe could hear Benjamin’s piteous cries from outside.

After ten minutes, Joseph asked Chloe to return to the room to question Benjamin again.

Benjamin’s face was badly swollen, and his gaze was full of fear as he looked at Joseph.

Chloe raised her brows. “What did you say to the guard just now?”

“Nothing. Go on and ask him again.”

Feeling doubtful, she asked Benjamin, “Where did my mother come from?”

“T-The South.”

Chloe touched her face. Someone had commented before that she looked like a woman from the

South.

“Where exactly?”

“Jade Street. Your grandparents are there too.” Benjamin looked at Joseph with fear and swore, “I don’t

know anything else. She never told me.”

Chloe muttered, “Jade Street…” She had seen that town on TV more than ten years ago. The whole

street was in the business of selling jade ware and was a famous tourist spot.

Upon exiting the prison, Joseph lit a cigarette. Its scarlet fire lit blazed and died down. “Let’s go to the

female prison and find Ava.”

Chloe blinked with confusion. “But why?”

Could she know any more than Benjamin?

He looked at her, exuding a solemn and steady aura that he had gained from surviving in the field of

power and money. His eyes gleamed with a frightening glint, which was biting cold. “I have a feeling

that she knows something.”
