Adrian said coldly, "There's no need for you to worry, my child and woman will naturally be protected by me."
Maxwell did not speak.
After a long silence, he looked at Adrian pleadingly and said, "Director Davies, since everything is now clear, and with Melody back, she's also brought your other child with her. I beg you, on account of me being Melody's father, please spare Lily."
Adrian snorted coldly, "Spare her?"
Maxwell braced himself and met Adrian's murderous gaze, "Director Davies, please spare Lily and our family."
Seeing Adrian's sullen face, Maxwell quickly added, "I will make her leave here and never appear before you again."
Adrian looked at Maxwell and finally relented, "Since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word. But as you said, let her leave River City, never to appear before me again, or else..."
"Rest assured, I will make Lily leave immediately." Maxwell promised without a moment's hesitation.
