After the meeting, Alan picked Aria and reached City B's Penitentiary.
Aria and Alan were led inside after security check.
Sitting in front of an old man, Aria subconsciously clutched Alan's hand tighter. Alan patted her hand gently. He knows her fear was deeply rooted in her teenage years which wouldn't be easy to erase.
"Why are you here?" A hoarse voice asked, seeing her.
Aria went directly to the point, "Who gave you money for filing the lawsuit for my custody?"
Lucas Cooper wasn't any stubborn, egoistic man. He looked a lot aged and his face was still soft looking at her.
"I don't know. It was wired internationally. It was a man who knew about his activity." He pointed at Alan and continued, "That man didn't want Morgan's family to help you. He said he will give Skyline to me and told me to take you away from Morgans."
Aria slightly quivered without daring to imagine 'if'. Lucas Cooper was just a pawn.
