She no longer just wants to be Adrian's titular fiancée.
He is so outstanding, so mesmerizing.
She is deeply drawn to him, no longer just satisfied with the material things he provides.
She wants him, to be his true fiancée.
She wants him to marry her!
Though she lost her ground in this initial battle, and though he drove her out, she will not be discouraged at all.
She still retains the title of his fiancée, she is still his fiancée, isn't she?
She has plenty of time with him ahead.
She has an advantage over other women.
She is confident she can cure his illness, make him fall in love with her, marry her...
Ava leaves with endless aspirations.
On Adrian's side, after she leaves, he immediately calls someone to clean the office.
The smell in the office exposed the veins on Adrian's forehead, giving him a splitting headache.
Adrian glanced coldly at Secretary Lee, who was nervously working to bring fresh air into the office, "Daniel Lee, deduct this month's bonus, and if you ever let anyone in here without permission again, you can settle your accounts directly with finance."
Daniel Lee's legs shook, not understanding what had happened.
If he wasn't mistaken, Miss Parker had just left the president's office crying.
Moreover, even though in the past when Miss Parker visited, the president's mood was low, it was never as terrifying as it is now.
Nor did he directly deduct his bonus, warning him that if it happened again, he should go to the finance office and receive his severance.
What on earth happened this time?
What exactly did Miss Parker do to offend the president?
No matter how many questions he had, Daniel Lee didn't have the guts to ask.
His hands paused, immediately showing his stance, "Don't worry, President, without your permission, I will definitely not let anyone in again!"
"Alright," Adrian pressed his aching forehead, speaking displeasedly: "Hurry up and get rid of this awful smell."
"Yes!" Daniel Lee dared not hesitate, quickly starting to work, vigorously fanning outside and bringing air freshener to spray.
The windows of the president's office were already fully opened.
The cleaners had already briskly wiped the entire office again.
Actually, the scent left by Ava had long dissipated.
However, Adrian felt that the unpleasant, agitating, repulsive smell lingered above the office without disappearing.
...
After leaving Davies Clan, Ava immediately called her assistant Avril, "Avril, check for me who signed with Davies Clan to model for 'Dream of Love'!"
Avril was taken aback, incredulous: "What? Someone already signed with Davies Clan to model for 'Dream of Love'? Lily, didn't you come back to do..."
A cold, venomous gleam shone in Ava's dark eyes.
She coldly interrupted Avril's words, shouting harshly: "Stop with the nonsense, just go check right now! I want all the information about that model!"
Melody Parker is currently a hot model, a renowned international model.
Searching for information about her is not difficult.
The internet is flooded everywhere, but they are all positive, public information.
The next day, Avril, through some contacts, found out who signed with Davies Group to model and immediately called Ava.
"Lily, the person who signed with Davies to model for this issue of 'Dream of Love' has been found."
"Who is it?" Ava's eyes narrowed dangerously.
She was about to see which reckless person took her spot.
Even if Adrian won't help her, she still has ways to make that small unknown figure back down.
You know, she is not the same old Ava now.
She is a top star, and more importantly, she is the future wife of Davies Group's president.
Upon hearing Ava's inquiry, Avril immediately revealed what she found: "Eleven, debuted in M Country, renowned internationally for having a unique fragrance and excellent professional skills, recently returned home and signed a contract with Davies to shoot 'Dream of Love'. More information about her can be found online."
After speaking, Avril continued: "Eleven is originally from River City, and her Chinese name is very similar to yours, it's Melody Parker."
"What?" Ava exclaimed, full of shock, "What did you say her name is?"
Realizing Ava's emotional change, Avril asked with concern, "Lily, what's wrong?"
"Enough with the nonsense, I am asking you what her name is?!"
"Eleven, Melody Parker." Avril answered Ava's question and then asked, "Lily, is there a problem?"
No one responded to Avril's question; once Ava heard 'Melody Parker', she hung up the phone.
Melody Parker?
No, it can't be her!
It definitely can't be her!
Ava immediately typed Eleven into her phone software and searched.
Information about Eleven—Melody Parker instantly popped up.
Staring at that impossibly familiar face, unseen for four years, Ava's legs went weak, and she fell onto the sofa.
Melody Parker, it's actually her, it really is her.
She signed with Davies Group, she met Adrian!
She thought after their parting four years ago, she'd never see this annoying woman again in her life.
She thought Melody, forced out of her home with a child and cut off financially, would definitely have a hard life, definitely fall, even perhaps perish abroad.
But what she never expected was Melody not only returned, but so elegantly returned.
In these years, Ava never paid attention to Melody at all, because she had no time to focus on Melody. She wanted to become Mrs. Davies.
It felt as if Ava's entire bloodstream ceased flowing and started reversing in her veins.
Melody Parker—her nemesis.
The woman she's always disliked and resented.
She's her half-sister, only one year older than her.
They grew up together, lived in the same place, went to the same school.
They have the same father.
Due to her mother, her living conditions far surpassed Melody's.
But why, why whenever Melody is around, it's as if others cannot see her?
She despises Melody Parker, hates Melody Parker, she doesn't want to live under Melody's shadow, she doesn't want others to compare her to Melody.
She wants to take everything from Melody, everything she likes or even things Melody likes.
Gradually, this sense of taking became habit.
Lately, whether she liked it or not, as long as it was Melody's, she'd seize it.
Yet the once destitute Melody Parker, without pretty dresses or background, could still attract attention, gain praise from others…
