CHAPTER 296: CHAPTER 296: AVA PARKER RETURNS TO RIVER CITY TO STEAL THE BUTTERFLY JADE PENDANT...

Virgil Davies looked at Ava Parker and promised, "Ella, as long as you can get that pendant, I can make you the most noble woman in Whitehill, but..."

He didn’t continue, but instead looked deeply at Ava Parker.

Ava Parker naturally knew what Virgil Davies wanted.

She nestled into Virgil Davies’ arms like a delicate bird, tactfully saying, "I will always be Grandfather Davies’ woman and will always listen to you."

"Hahaha..." Virgil Davies laughed heartily, "Ella is indeed smart."

After speaking, his dark eyes suddenly narrowed viciously.

He made no attempt to hide his malevolence as he looked at Ava Parker and continued coldly, "Ella, remember. Since I can elevate you to the heavens, I also have a way to send you to hell. No one in this world dares to betray me, Virgil Davies, because the outcome of betrayal is far more than just death!"

...

The reason Virgil Davies was doing all this was because he coveted the wealth in the secret passages of Whitehill.

In fact, he had long known about the secret passages.

He just didn’t know the details of how to open them.

Originally, he thought he would have to go through some trouble, but now it seemed unnecessary.

The treasures in the passage were invaluable because without the pendant, they remained sealed and could not be accessed.

Currently, Muir was aging rapidly due to longing for destiny.

At just fifty years old, his body was deteriorating severely.

He had to obtain the treasures there to seize control of Whitehill.

Then he would have enough money and power, and the strength to unify the land. At that time, what would Adrian be to him?

Following Virgil Davies’ plan, Ava Parker immediately returned to River City.

She returned to the Parker family home.

Phoebe was overwhelmed with joy to see Ava Parker back and shed tears of happiness, "Ella, you’re finally back. Mommy missed you so much."

Maxwell Parker was also pleased that Ava Parker was back.

As he grew older, he naturally hoped his children would stay close by.

Plus, Phoebe had never stopped arguing with him since Ava Parker left, and he was really tired of it.

But...

He looked at Ava Parker with concern and asked, "Ella, why did you come back like this? If Director Davies finds out, he will definitely..."

"Dad, he won’t." Ava Parker interrupted Maxwell Parker, continuing, "I’ve come back to see Daddy and Mommy. I won’t cause trouble anymore. Also, I’m planning to visit my sister tomorrow to seek her forgiveness. As long as she forgives me, Adrian won’t trouble me."

"Ella, you’re too precious to go begging that girl." Phoebe immediately disagreed.

She turned to Maxwell Parker, "That girl is your daughter. You should go to her and tell her to stop making things difficult for Ella."

"Mommy, what are you talking about? How can you let Daddy go to sister? It’s my wrongdoing, and there’s no sincerity if Daddy is the one to seek forgiveness." Before Maxwell Parker could speak, Ava Parker interjected.

Phoebe disagreed, "What wrongdoing? If she considered herself your sister, she shouldn’t have stolen your fiancé and taken over Adrian!"

"Mommy, Adrian mistook me for my sister, which is why he gave me the fiancée’s title!"

Ava Parker looked earnestly at Phoebe, "Mommy, don’t say anymore. I’ve decided to go to my sister tomorrow and admit my mistakes personally."

Maxwell Parker was pleased, "Very well, admitting you’re wrong is good. My Ella is finally grown up!"

Feeling content, he said, "Ella, when you meet Melody tomorrow, sincerely apologize. Your sister values relationships. As long as you earnestly apologize, she won’t trouble you. After you apologize, perhaps Director Davies won’t trouble you anymore."

Ava Parker nodded dutifully, "Yes, I know. I will sincerely apologize."

This was the most lively and joyful day for the Parker family since Ava Parker left River City.

Phoebe had the servants prepare a delicious meal and chatted with Ava Parker for a long time at night.

Ava Parker stayed the night and went to Melody Parker’s apartment early the next day, ringing the doorbell.

Melody Parker had just seen off Adrian Davies and the children. Hearing the doorbell, she wondered, "Who could it be so early?"

She went to the door and opened it.

Seeing Ava Parker at the door, Melody Parker was taken aback.

She looked at Ava Parker, her face cold, and asked, "Ava Parker? What are you doing here?"

"Sister, are you still mad at me?" Ava Parker looked at Melody Parker, filled with sadness and distress.

Melody Parker: "..."

What’s going on?

Did she not wake up properly, or did she open the door incorrectly?

This was just too bizarre.

But that wasn’t all.

Ava Parker looked at Melody Parker pitifully, tears welling up before she even spoke, looking very miserable.

As if Melody Parker had done something to her.

Melody Parker looked coldly at Ava Parker, "If you have something to say, just say it! There’s no need for theatrics in front of me because it won’t work."

"Sister..." Ava Parker cried desperately, reaching out to grab Melody Parker.

Melody Parker felt a sudden chill and prepared to push Ava Parker away.

Before she could pull away, Ava Parker clutched her hand, earnestly saying, "Sister, I’m here to apologize. I was ignorant before, and it’s all my fault. I made you upset. Sister, can you forgive me?"

Melody Parker shook off Ava Parker, maintaining a distant demeanor, "Forgive you?!"

She looked at Ava Parker with a cold voice, "Not to mention what ulterior motives you have now, just because of what you’ve done, why do you think I would forgive you? Where do you get the face to come and ask for my forgiveness? Hmm?"

With a thud, Ava Parker knelt directly in front of Melody Parker.

Melody Parker was surprised, not expecting Ava Parker, who had always been so arrogant, to actually kneel before her one day.

Ava Parker hugged Melody Parker’s leg, her tear-streaked face lifting up, looking pitifully at Melody Parker, "Sister, I truly realize my mistakes. I have no bad intentions; I sincerely seek your forgiveness."

"Hmph!" Melody Parker snorted coldly, looking down at Ava Parker crying on her leg, "Sincerely? Ava Parker, have you ever had a heart?"

Ava Parker, embracing Melody Parker’s leg, sincerely continued to admit her mistakes, "Sister, everything from our childhood was my fault. I never considered you a sister, I treated you that way out of fear that Dad and they would love you more. You are so outstanding, I was jealous of you, so I..."
