Five years ago, Melody Parker was drugged and delivered to a disgusting, ugly old man.
Although Melody Parker managed to avoid that gross old man and wasn't slept with by him, she couldn't escape the fate of losing herself to someone who appeared out of nowhere.
And a year later, she gave birth to two illegitimate children.
Taking advantage of Melody Parker's pregnancy before marriage, she and her mother convinced her father, who always valued appearances, to agree to send Melody Parker out of River City, to a foreign land where she knew no one.
Angry at the disgrace Melody Parker brought upon him, her father was unwilling to look at her again.
Her mother directly sent Melody Parker, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to the airport and later cut off all financial support from her father to Melody Parker.
Not long after Melody Parker was sent abroad, Adrian Davies forcefully entered River City and began a large-scale search for the woman with the Jade Pendant.
She never thought Melody Parker would be so fortunate!
That night, not only did Melody Parker evade the disgusting old man she was intended for, but the so-called stranger who appeared out of nowhere turned out to be Adrian Davies.
Adrian Davies, such a handsome, strong, glamorous, and powerful man, a man whose mere photo could make any woman submit and swoon.
Such a perfect, quality man was the one who slept with Melody Parker!
And Melody Parker even bore him a pair of twins!
Ava Parker was shocked and overwhelmingly jealous!
But amidst the shock and jealousy, a bold idea sprang into Ava Parker's mind.
She was so thankful for her whim at that time.
Back then, on a whim, she took one of Melody Parker's children and took away the Jade Pendant left by Adrian Davies to Melody Parker.
So, could she possibly use these to replace Melody Parker?
Thinking of this, Ava Parker didn't hesitate and immediately took the Jade Pendant to meet Tyler Dormer.
Ava Parker still clearly remembers everything that happened when Tyler Dormer led her to meet Adrian Davies back then.
Four years ago, Ava Parker met Adrian Davies for the first time, met that man who, at first glance, made her lose herself, made her willing to hold on to him even at the cost of her life, a man she was willing to entangle with for life.
The man's stature was tall, his features were profound and defined.
He stood there quietly, like a favorite of the gods, a born king.
A black handmade suit draped over him, exuding an aura of abstinence that made one reluctant to look away.
Ava Parker forgot everything, her enamored gaze fixed steadfastly on Adrian Davies.
Adrian Davies frowned tightly, his dark eyes narrowed and sinister, irritably looking at the infatuated woman, unwilling to believe she was the woman from that night.
His cold, dark eyes fixated on Ava Parker, not hiding his murderous intent, "You claim you're the girl from that night?"
Ava Parker nodded vigorously, "Yes, I am that girl from that night."
"You should know, the consequence of deceiving me is only one—death!" The air pressure around Adrian Davies was very low, he looked coldly at Ava Parker as if looking at a corpse, "Are you sure you are the girl from that night?"
Under Adrian Davies's chilling pressure, Ava Parker couldn't help but tremble.
Yes, she was scared.
But even if she was scared, she gritted her teeth and didn't intend to give up.
She wanted this man; she wanted to be connected to him.
"Yes, I am the person from that night." Ava Parker said, taking out the Jade Pendant she had prepared beforehand from her neck, "Look, this is what you left with me that night, I have always taken good care of it, always wore it on me, never took it off."
Because from that night on, Melody Parker's neck bore this Jade Pendant.
Adrian glanced at Tyler Dormer who stood to the side.
Tyler Dormer immediately understood and stepped forward, took the Jade Pendant from Ava Parker's hand, pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, placed the Jade Pendant on it, and then handed it to Adrian Davies.
Despite this, Adrian Davies frowned in disgust while checking it over.
"Sure enough, this is indeed my Jade Pendant."
Adrian Davies's cold voice sounded like heaven to Ava Parker's ears.
He admitted it, he admitted that was his Jade Pendant.
So would he acknowledge her identity, would he...
"Take it and clean it thoroughly." Adrian Davies disdainfully threw the Jade Pendant back to Tyler Dormer and then coldly said, "Give her some money and let her go!"
Adrian Davies's icy, ruthless words shattered Ava Parker's dreams.
Wasn't his grand search for the owner of the Jade Pendant to take responsibility, to marry that person?
Why give her money, why let her go?
Ava Parker shouted emotionally: "No, I don't want money!"
"Don't want money? Then what do you want? Sometimes greed isn't a good thing!" Adrian Davies felt nauseous even smelling Ava Parker, "Get lost! If you don't want to die, get out of here immediately!"
Tyler Dormer stepped forward, "Miss, please."
Thus, Ava Parker was thrown out by Adrian Davies.
After being thrown out, Tyler Dormer indeed, as instructed by Adrian Davies, gave Ava Parker a sum of money, a large sum.
Ava Parker did not take it.
What she wanted was never this limited amount of money and wealth; she wanted everlasting resources, wanted someone who could continuously create wealth and value.
Being kicked out did not make Ava Parker give up; she still had a trump card in her hand.
The next day, she brought her trump card, brought that child to find him.
But Adrian Davies, however, no longer wished to see her, only instructing his assistant to conduct a paternity test.
Let him do it, after all, the child was Adrian Davies's, she wasn't afraid of him doing the paternity test, as long as it wasn't conducted between the child and her.
The test results came out, unsurprisingly proving the child's identity.
Adrian Davies looked at the paternity test report in his hand and finally saw Ava Parker once more.
Looking at that greedy, ugly face that made him nauseous, Adrian Davies couldn't believe the girl from that night was Ava Parker. Everything that night was blurry, because he was escaping for his life, and the girl was drugged, but all he could remember was her scent, the antidote for his salvation...
Refreshing, clear, and pleasing, it was the only thing he liked.
But today she made him disgusted, yet the child was real, his seed!
The Jade Pendant was real, and the child was indeed his bloodline.
Adrian Davies had lived for over twenty years and had only ever touched one woman.
It was that night she saved him, she was his remedy, the first woman he felt compassion for and didn't dislike.
After that night, every time he recalled that evening, her scent would make his blood boil and his body heat up...
But the woman in front of him was no different from those others, making him equally despise and detest, making him exactly as irritable.
But it was with this very woman that he had relations.
