CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 279: THERE ARE A PAIR OF GRACEFULLY DANCING BUTTERFLIES ON HER SHOULDERS...

Virgil Davies didn’t hesitate to embrace Ava Parker’s waist, his long fingers sneaking directly beneath Ava Parker’s hem.

He pinched the tender flesh at Ava Parker’s waist, then moved upwards.

At the same time, his cold eyes locked onto Ava Parker’s changing expression as he spoke in a deep and chilling voice, "You’re good, but I’m more curious about what makes your sister so special. How did she manage to win Adrian Davies, someone who views women as a scourge, as her admirer?"

Ava Parker immediately wiped the seductive smile off her face, staring blankly at Virgil Davies.

She knew he was Adrian’s brother.

Though she didn’t know what had transpired between him and Adrian, she knew very well: Virgil Davies hated Adrian more intensely than she hated Melody Parker.

Was he asking about that bitch Melody because he wanted to deal with Adrian?

As soon as Ava Parker considered this possibility, Virgil Davies’s hand moved up to caress her soft cheek, his sinister and cold voice following, "Beauty, don’t harbor negative emotions. Understanding your sister is my way of better helping you eliminate your enemies and avenge Adrian’s abandonment of you."

Indeed, she wasn’t wrong.

Virgil Davies truly aimed to confront Adrian!

Upon this realization, a vicious hatred flared in Ava Parker’s eyes, filled with jealousy.

Since Virgil Davies was inquiring about that bitch, he must have some plan against Melody, perhaps intending to use her to balance against Adrian.

After all, Melody is the woman Adrian loves deeply, his one and only weakness, isn’t she?

Even if she wasn’t, he would definitely help Melody, crafting the illusion before Virgil Davies that Melody is someone Adrian loves deeply.

In doing so, Virgil Davies surely won’t let that bitch off easily, right?

He’d definitely have someone abduct her, rape her, and kill her, wouldn’t he!

For only then would Adrian truly suffer, wouldn’t he?

The thought of Melody’s impending situation gave Ava Parker a deep sense of vengeance satisfied.

She quelled all jealousy and malice in her eyes, looking towards Virgil Davies and speaking with a hateful tone: "She does have some unique traits. She’s a demon, a demon with an elusive charm, with a mysterious birth! How else could she beguile Adrian, making him look at her differently, following her every command?"

Virgil Davies kept his gaze fixed on the woman in his arms, "Are you saying Adrian highly values your sister?"

Ava Parker nodded, "Yes, values her more than his own life! If not, why would he, despite knowing she’s my sister, still be with her? Why else would he disregard everything to do such disgraceful things with her? He even annulled our engagement for her, planning for our child to become her son."

Virgil Davies believed Ava Parker’s words.

After all, everyone he sent to investigate Melody was stopped in River City.

Only Adrian would have such capabilities.

Sending so many to protect a woman proved her importance in his heart.

Virgil Davies’s hand wandered higher, squeezing Ava Parker’s ample bosom, "Beauty, describe how exactly your sister is a demon?"

Because of Virgil Davies’s actions, a soft moan escaped Ava Parker’s mouth.

She glanced shyly yet invitingly at Virgil Davies, not stopping his actions, instead drawing herself closer to his embrace.

Her cheeks flushed like a peach, her eyes alluring like silken threads, she gazed at Virgil Davies and slowly said, "From birth, she carried a unique fragrance, the kind that attracts butterflies. Strangely, she also has a peculiar mark on her shoulder. Just like the fragrance, it was there from birth. That mark..."

Remembering the old times, Ava Parker continued, "That mark is of two butterflies, that’s right, a butterfly-shaped mark! It looks just like real butterflies, as if they’re flying... no!... more like two butterflies dancing together..."

After speaking, Ava Parker continued, "It’s not just Melody who’s a demon; her mother must have been one too. Otherwise, why would my grandfather have driven her to death after giving birth to Melody..."

Ava Parker’s words greatly shocked Virgil Davies.

His hand paused in motion, frozen in place.

Butterfly mark?

Two dancing butterflies?

Could Melody actually be...?

Virgil Davies knew some history, regarding Whitehill.

Twenty-three years ago, the current King of Whitehill, then known as Prince Butterfly, was forced by his father to marry the current Queen.

Afterward, Prince Butterfly and the current Queen had three daughters.

Oddly, none of the three was a Princess Butterfly.

A few years later, the old King passed, and Prince Butterfly successfully ascended the throne.

Since then, the current King of Whitehill has not had another child with the Queen.

In Whitehill, only the sole prince or princess born of the Butterfly Clan would bear the destined twin butterfly mark.

In other words, only a prince or princess bearing the twin butterfly mark is the fated Prince or Princess Butterfly of Whitehill.

Whitehill is an ancient and mysterious realm, ruled by the even more mysterious Butterfly Clan.

The Butterfly Clan’s lineage is passed down, and only those born with the butterfly mark are the clan’s future Crown, the future monarch of Whitehill.

Twenty-three years ago, the Prince Butterfly could only inherit the throne because he bore the butterfly mark, as the chosen one.

Throughout Whitehill’s history, the lineage has never changed: Regardless of gender, only one bearing the butterfly mark, the chosen one, could inherit the throne.

But as of now, other than the present King of Whitehill, no new chosen one bearing the butterfly mark has appeared.

In other words, the present Whitehill has yet to reveal its destined Crown Prince.

This phenomenon occurs for a reason.

The butterfly mark’s legacy originally requires a prince or princess bearing it to find their fate as dictated by heaven and unite with them to bear an heir also marked with the butterfly insignia.

Although the present King of Whitehill is indeed Prince Butterfly, the current Queen is not his fate.

Heard two decades ago, the true fate of the King of Whitehill vanished from Whitehill, rumored to have been secretly executed by the current Queen of Whitehill.

The reason Virgil Davies knows these things is because of his mother.
