CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 312: IT SEEMS THAT MAXWELL PARKER KNOWS MORE ABOUT HER BACKGROUND...

Ava Parker’s eyes instantly filled with a mist of tears.

She looked pitifully at Melody Parker, her voice full of sorrow, "Sister, do you still refuse to forgive me?"

In Melody Parker’s dark eyes, a chilling cold light suddenly shot out.

She looked at Ava Parker like this and questioned coldly, "Forgive? What forgiveness?"

Ava Parker was at a loss for words, "I..."

Melody Parker looked at her and spoke coldly, "The only thing I can do, considering Dad’s sake, is not to pursue the mistakes you’ve made in the past, and that’s all. You wanted to stay in River City to take care of them, I agreed with you, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven you. I can never forgive you, nor will I ever forgive you!"

After speaking, not giving Ava Parker any chance to speak, she continued coldly, "You don’t need to waste your words, nor do you need to do things that even make yourself disgusted. From now on, you and I will just live our own lives in peace."

Ava Parker looked at Melody Parker miserably, with a heartbroken expression, "Sister, I knew you wouldn’t forgive me so easily. But it doesn’t matter, I can wait. No matter if you believe it or not, I’m sincerely here to seek your forgiveness. And I believe that time will prove everything."

With the conversation reaching this point, what could Melody Parker say?

Whatever she wanted to do, let her be.

As long as she doesn’t disrupt her life, Melody can pretend she doesn’t exist.

Melody Parker looked at Ava Parker, "Suit yourself, since you insist on saying things you don’t mean, there’s nothing I can do. But I hope that you won’t appear in my sight again. Because it will remind me of everything you’ve done, and make me want to change my mind and drive you out of River City."

Hearing her words, it felt like Ava Parker’s heart was pierced by a thousand arrows.

She’s going to drive her out too, based on what? Without Adrian, you’re nothing.

You wretch, go ahead and be smug!

When I get what I want, I will repay the humiliation of today a thousandfold on you!

A hint of malice flashed in Ava Parker’s eyes.

She quickly hid it, looking at Melody Parker with tears, "Sister, please don’t drive me out of River City. The reason I’m here today is because of Dad. Today is Dad’s birthday, his health isn’t good, he just wants to see you. Moreover, it was Dad who asked me to bring you back."

Hearing Ava Parker’s words, Melody Parker remembered that today was indeed Maxwell Parker’s birthday.

Many years ago, she was the one who remembered this day more clearly than anyone.

Every year on this day, she would spend all the money she had saved for a long time to buy Maxwell a gift.

But the things she bought with all she had were insignificant in Maxwell’s eyes.

She didn’t know how Maxwell dealt with them.

But she thought they must have been thrown into some obscure corner, or directly into the trash.

Because that year, she once saw it with her own eyes.

That year, she was fifteen.

Because it was Maxwell’s birthday, she would rush out to work part-time right after school every day.

She worked part-time for half a year, unwilling to spend a penny more, using all her savings to buy a birthday gift for Maxwell.

It was the most expensive gift she could afford at that time, a diamond-studded tie clip.

She thought Maxwell would like it, thought he would wear it immediately, but what she got instead was...

That year, she returned home happily with the tie clip.

But as soon as she entered, she was met with Phoebe’s scolding, "You little money-waster, you dare come back? Tell me, where did the money go?"

Melody Parker looked puzzled.

She looked at Phoebe and asked coldly, "Auntie, what do you mean?"

"Ha!" Phoebe sneered, "Stole money from the house, and you still have the nerve to ask what I mean?"

With that, she looked at Maxwell, scolding, "Maxwell, this is the good daughter you’ve raised! Starting so young, not learning anything good, stealing money from home and not admitting it! I bet what Ella said was right, she’s definitely fooling around outside and giving the money to some wild boy!... "

Melody Parker looked coldly at Phoebe, "Auntie, make it clear, when did I steal money from the house?"

Her gaze was so cold that it successfully stopped Phoebe’s scolding.

But the next second, Phoebe stepped closer.

"Whether you stole or not, we’ll find out once we check!" she said, moving to make a search.

With a righteous stance, Melody faced it, saying "Check then!"

But even if they checked, it had to be her doing it herself.

Melody Parker stood there proudly, looking coldly at Phoebe, "No need for you, I’ll do it myself!"

After saying that, Melody Parker turned out all the pockets on her body. She poured out everything in her bag.

Her pockets were empty.

The things that fell out of the canvas bag were simple too.

Besides her study books and stationery, there was only a red velvet box.

Melody Parker looked at Phoebe, "Auntie, is there any money that you’ve mentioned here?"

Phoebe didn’t say a word, she snatched up that red velvet box.

The next second, her sharp voice echoed in the house, "Still say you didn’t steal money, where did this come from? This thing isn’t cheap, where did you get the money to buy it?!"

Melody Parker looked at the velvet box in Phoebe’s hand and began to explain, "This is my..."

But before she could finish her words, Maxwell’s voice interrupted, "Melody, apologize to your aunt."

...

She doesn’t remember how things ended.

In short, she didn’t apologize, nor did she say what the tie clip was bought for.

And it seemed that ever since then, she never bought Maxwell another birthday gift.

Because no one would care, so why bother to please in vain.

So many years have passed, if not reminded by Ava Parker, she wouldn’t have remembered today was Maxwell’s birthday.

Today, she was originally planning to see Maxwell.

Since that’s the case, then let’s go.

Melody Parker looked at Ava Parker and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I’ll go back with you."

Ava Parker was ecstatic, "Wonderful! Daddy will surely be very happy that you’re coming back!"

...

Melody Parker and Ava Parker left the villa halfway up the hill together.

By the time they returned to the Parker family mansion, it was already noon.

At the Parker family, Phoebe had already prepared a table full of food.

Seeing Melody Parker and Ava Parker return together, Phoebe immediately greeted them warmly, "Melody, you’re finally back!"

As she spoke, she affectionately held Melody Parker’s hand, "You have no idea how much your dad and I have been missing you."

After speaking, without waiting for Melody Parker to say anything, she turned her head directly and shouted upstairs, "Elder Parker, come down quickly, Melody is back!"
