He thought he only had some suspicions, thought that as long as he was the first to speak out everything, he could protect Lily.
But...
Maxwell Parker lowered his head, silent.
He didn’t know how much Adrian Davies actually knew?
Didn’t know if speaking now would harm Lily or save her?
And had no idea what sort of fate Melody Parker would face once this dangerous man knew everything?
Adrian Davies’ eyes, dark as ink, coldly stared at Maxwell Parker, "Mr. Parker, you’d better not think about hiding anything. You know the consequences of deceiving me; the Parker family may not be able to bear it! Of course, I think you’re certainly not unfamiliar with the outcome of deceiving me!"
Maxwell Parker closed his aged eyelids.
Ha, someone like Adrian Davies, who stands at the pinnacle of power, people like them who don’t value human life, he certainly knows the outcome of deceiving them!
Forget it, since what’s destined to come will always come, let it come.
Maxwell Parker opened his eyes and lifted his head to look at Adrian Davies opposite him, "Director Davies, I can tell you everything you want to know. But before I say everything, I hope you can promise me one request."
After speaking, fearing Adrian Davies wouldn’t agree, Maxwell Parker immediately followed up in a pleading tone, "Director Davies, please, for the sake of me being a father, grant me this small request."
Adrian Davies looked at Maxwell Parker and did not immediately agree, "You say it first."
Maxwell Parker: "I hope that after I tell you everything, you can let our family go, let Lily go."
Adrian Davies originally just came for the truth, naturally agreed, "Okay."
...
When Adrian Davies came out of the study again, his face was as dark as it could possibly be, the darkest possible.
Adrian Davies walked out of the study, passed through the living room, without saying a word, directly walked out with a sharp stride.
Ava Parker had been eagerly waiting ever since Adrian Davies and Maxwell Parker entered the study.
Waiting for them to discuss the details of the wedding, waiting to hear the results of their discussion, to hear when her and Adrian’s wedding would take place...
But, why did Adrian just come out without saying a word and walked straight out?
Ava Parker immediately stood up from the living room sofa, chasing after Adrian Davies’s shadow as she ran out, "Adrian, have a meal before you go."
After Adrian Davies stepped out of the Parker family residence, he got into the car and left without looking back.
As for Ava Parker’s call, he didn’t even care, nor did he take a single glance at her, directly instructing Locke to drive away.
Ava Parker turned back into the house with some disappointment.
But thinking about the upcoming wedding, her mood soon lifted again.
She quickly walked into the study and asked Maxwell Parker, who was still inside, "Dad, why did Adrian leave? Have you decided when to get married?"
"You..." Maxwell Parker heaved a long sigh, looking at Ava Parker, "Lily, you should quickly pack your things and leave River City, go to M Country, and never come back again."
Ava Parker cried out, "Why? Dad, why do you want me to leave, to drive me away?"
Actually, she had a vague suspicion in her heart, but she didn’t dare think about it.
Her resentful gaze locked tightly on Maxwell Parker, then she complained in discontent, "Dad, am I really your daughter by blood? How can you do this? Adrian is about to marry me, yet at this time, you want me to leave! To leave River City! To never come back again!..."
Maxwell Parker’s cloudy eyes looked at the resentful Ava Parker, and his weathered voice slowly spoke, "Lily, go, dad has already told Adrian Davies everything about you and your sister. How can you? How can you stay alive in River City?"
Maxwell Parker’s words were like a bombshell, exploding loudly in Ava Parker’s mind.
What did dad just say?
He said he has told Adrian everything?
How could he?!
From the moment she saw Adrian on the media four years ago, marrying him had been her lifelong dream.
She meticulously managed for four years, spent her youth of four years, just to be casually destroyed by her dad.
This was her future!
He, is he still her dad?
No, he’s not!
He’s the enemy who ruined everything for her.
Ava Parker, seething with anger, with bloodshot eyes, knocked everything from Maxwell Parker’s desk onto the ground.
But how can just this vent her fury? She grabbed everything she could and desperately smashed them onto the floor one by one.
The constant sound of heavy objects crashing to the ground resounded...
In this harsh cacophony of destruction was Ava Parker’s hysterical yelling.
She stared at Maxwell Parker as if looking at her mortal enemy, glaring intensely and shouting, "Dad, how could you do this? You’re destroying me, don’t you know? Because of you, everything I painstakingly built is destroyed. Adrian, he might even kill me, don’t you know? Why do you hate me so much, not want me to live well, want me to die?"
Maxwell Parker’s cloudy eyes watched the frantic Ava Parker, "Lily, just leave, leave River City forever, it’s the only way you can truly live."
"I don’t want to!" Ava Parker yelled wildly, "Leaving River City, leaving Adrian, what’s the point of living!"
After speaking, she rushed to Maxwell Parker, forcefully pulling him outward, not caring whether his elderly steps could keep up.
She dragged Maxwell Parker outward while shouting hysterically, "Dad, let’s find Adrian, tell him that everything you said to him before was a lie! Just say..."
"Say what?!" Maxwell Parker sternly interrupted Ava, yanking free of her grip, speaking thunderously, "Lily, wake up! Adrian Davies already knows everything, you have to leave!"
Ava Parker turned and stared at Maxwell Parker with a dazed expression, shouting, "I hate you! You’ve destroyed me, I don’t have a dad like you!"
Hearing the commotion, Phoebe hurried over and heard Ava’s yelling.
She quickly approached Ava, speaking, "Ella, what’s going on? How can you speak to your dad like this?"
Ava’s eyes, filled with red streaks, looked at Phoebe, "Mom, he’s not my dad, he’s my enemy! He’s ruined everything for me, I hate him!..."
Phoebe glanced at the mess in the room, gently reproaching Ava, "Ella, what nonsense are you talking! And look, you’ve smashed all the things in the house."
Saying this, Phoebe couldn’t help but feel a heartache, "Oh dear, how much money did you just smash away!"
"Money, money, money, mom all you know is money, but do you know what this man, my father, has done?"
