CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 297: SISTER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME...

"So you made me your servant, conspired with your mother to frame me in every way, drove me out of River City, and stole my child?!" Melody Parker remained unmoved, her voice becoming even colder.

"Sister, I was wrong, I truly was wrong. You don’t know how miserable it has been for me out there... And father, he’s grown old, this time when I returned, I found father has aged so much more..."

Lily started to play the emotional card, "Sister, I shouldn’t have stolen your child just because I thought it was fun. I’ve deeply realized my mistake. Sister, I beg you, even if it’s for father’s sake, please forgive me."

Saying this, she cried even more sorrowfully, "Even if you can’t forgive me, I beg you for father’s sake, don’t drive me away again, okay? Let me stay in River City, stay here to look after him in his old age, can I?"

Melody Parker looked at the woman kneeling before her, extremely pretentious, and coldly asked, "Have you really been living miserably?"

Lily nodded, just about to say more, when Melody Parker’s cold voice sounded above her head, "How come I heard you sought refuge with the Mexican gang leader, became a popular star in Mexico, doing quite well?"

Lily froze, even forgetting to cry.

Melody Parker looked coldly at Lily, "Lily, maybe you stole Daniel back then for fun, maybe you were used to seeing me suffer, used to snatching my things! But pretending to be Daniel’s mommy and taking him to find Adrian Davies?"

Lily: "..."

This wench, she’s knelt down and begged her like this, what more does she want?

Melody Parker looked at Lily and continued coldly, "Lily, don’t think I don’t know what you had people do a few months ago! You even dared to target Daniel! Back then your ambitions weren’t small, now that things have come to light, you still dare to steal?!"

Lily: "..."

She knows?

She actually knows!

Weren’t those people the most formidable?

Even if unsuccessful, hadn’t they also perished?

Melody Parker’s aura suddenly became sharp.

She looked at Lily, like a queen high above, "I haven’t even come to settle accounts with you, and you took the initiative to come to me!"

Her presence was terrifying, as she looked at Lily and continued, "Tell me, after all you’ve done, how should I punish you?"

Lily couldn’t help but shiver.

This version of Melody Parker inexplicably filled her with fear.

She wanted desperately to stand up and leave.

But she couldn’t!

She couldn’t leave!

For the sake of a bright future, for the high position, the immense wealth, she couldn’t leave.

No matter what, she had to make peace with this wench, even if she couldn’t, at the very least she had to earn this wench’s forgiveness first.

Only then could she approach this wench, and take what she wanted.

She was born with a noble fate, and would always have benefactors helping her.

This wench could only ever be her servant!

Not only was, but would always be her servant for life!

Wench, enjoy your moment now.

Once I have the Jade Pendant, and become the queen of Whitehill.

The humiliation I suffer today, I will certainly repay a thousand times over!

Lily thought resentfully, striving to hide all the unwillingness, jealousy, and the desire for the future and the pleasure of revenge in her eyes.

She hugged Melody Parker, crying miserably, "Sister, as long as you are willing to forgive me, you can punish me however you like."

Lily continued to humbly beg for Melody Parker’s forgiveness.

Melody Parker couldn’t bring herself to forgive.

Yet faced with this woman crying pitifully before her, she couldn’t bring herself to harm her either.

Beat her up?

She felt it would dirty her hands.

Send her to jail? But she is Maxwell Parker’s only daughter after all.

No matter what, Maxwell did raise her.

Perhaps Maxwell always knew her true background, knowing she wasn’t his daughter.

Fine, let her go this time.

Consider it repaying Maxwell for all these years of upbringing.

But only this once.

If she’s ever bold enough to do anything again, she won’t let her off so easily.

Melody Parker looked at Lily and coldly said, "You can leave, don’t appear before me again."

Lily’s face lit up with joy, "Sister, you’ve forgiven me?"

"Are you worthy of my forgiveness?" Melody Parker retorted, coldly, "As long as you don’t show up in front of me again, just like you said, go accompany Maxwell."

After saying this, she promptly added, "Before you leave, return what you took from me."

Lily looked bewildered, not understanding what Melody Parker meant.

"What, you still want to keep it for yourself at this point?" Melody Parker’s eyes turned icy cold as she looked at Lily and directly said, "Return the stolen Jade Pendant!"

Lily froze.

Jade Pendant!

She hadn’t even had a chance to steal it, how...

Wait a minute...

She suddenly realized something, and quickly said, "That Jade Pendant has already been given to Young Master Davies!"

This time it was Melody Parker’s turn to be stunned.

Given to Adrian Davies?

"Really, sister. Four years ago that Jade Pendant returned to Young Master’s possession." Seeing Melody Parker silent and thinking she didn’t believe it, Lily rushed to explain.

While speaking, Lily stood up from the ground.

She affectionately held Melody Parker’s hand, joyfully said, "Sister, I’m so happy you can forgive me! If father knew we’d have reconciled, he would certainly be happy too!"

Melody Parker felt speechless.

When did she say she forgave her?

And reconciled, what?

Had they ever been on good terms?!

Melody Parker pulled away from Lily’s hand, "You can leave, you’re not welcome here!"

Instantly Lily became sad again.

She looked at Melody Parker, "Sister..."

Melody Parker coldly cut her off, "Either leave, or I take back what I said!"

"Sister, don’t get mad, I’ll go, I’ll leave right now." Lily’s willingness to concede was immediate.

She looked at Melody Parker, finally saying, "Sister, I’ll come back to see you later." Then, she turned and left.

...

Melody Parker sat on the balcony, staring blankly into the distance.

From when Lily left, she sat here, thinking of many past things...

Remembered her mother, remembered the only relic her mother left behind, and after sitting for a long while, Melody Parker finally moved.

She stood up and left the balcony, walked inside, opened the safe, and took out the relic her mother left, the beautiful Butterfly Jade Pendant.

Looking at it, it was as if she saw her mother again.

Yes, she began missing her mother again.

Melody Parker’s eyes couldn’t help but redden.

Is it that, like Adrian Davies, aside from her precious ones, there are no close relatives left in this world?
