Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 335: The Stolen Fake Jade Pendant...
Adrian walked inside.
It was a dark room, a hidden secret room connected to the master bedroom.
Adrian moved to the wall inside the dark room and gently pressed it. That seemingly ordinary white wall immediately flipped over, revealing a high-tech screen.
After his fingerprint was recorded on the screen, the high-tech screen automatically parted.
It turned out to be a safe embedded within the wall.
And the safe only contained two jade pendants.
One was his Sphinx Jade Pendant, and the other was, surprisingly, Melody Parker’s Butterfly Jade Pendant...
When Adrian saw the Butterfly Jade Pendant at Melody Parker’s apartment that day, he realized its significance and knew how others coveted it.
To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.
Even though Melody never intended to wear a ’crown,’ those who wanted to wear the ’crown’ couldn’t care less about it.
If they were to learn about the existence of the jade pendant, it would surely bring about mortal danger.
And the thieves who broke into the apartment that night perfectly proved this point.
That night, besides dealing with the burglars, Adrian did many other things.
Adrian moved Melody Parker and the treasures into the villa halfway up the hill, set up the preparations for a strike against Virgil Davies, instructed his men to intricately carve a fine purple jade, and stored the real Butterfly Jade Pendant here.
The next day, Adrian went to Europe with the Nightfall team and proceeded to Mexico.
Adrian’s murderous intent surged, and in Mexico, he crushed most of Virgil Davies’s forces, forcing him into hiding.
When Adrian returned to River City, besides striking against Virgil Davies, he also brought back a jade pendant—a nearly identical replica of the true Butterfly Jade Pendant.
Adrian placed the jade pendant he brought back into Melody Parker’s apartment safe...
However, the real jade pendant was immediately placed in the safe of the dark room, while the one designed by Ava Parker to be stolen was a fake Butterfly Jade Pendant...
At this moment, gazing at the Butterfly Jade Pendant in his hand, Adrian’s expression was icy and solemn.
"Virgil Davies, no matter how you learned everything about Whitehill, how you discovered Melody’s identity, what doesn’t belong to you, don’t even dream of acquiring it!"
"Even if you desire it, you’ll surely pay a bitter price for it!"...
Adrian placed the Sphinx Jade Pendant back into the safe, then lightly pressed the high-tech screen.
The screen automatically folded and closed, with another flip, Adrian again faced a flawlessly white ordinary wall.
Adrian held onto the Butterfly Jade Pendant and turned to walk out of the dark room.
At this moment, the crimson dawn was slowly rising above the land of River City.
Adrian gazed at the crimson glow with gentle, resolute eyes, "Melody, don’t be afraid, I will definitely rescue you!"
He already understood Virgil Davies’s intentions this time.
He recklessly kidnapped Melody and stole the jade pendant, all certainly for the treasure of Whitehill.
That’s why he orchestrated Ava Parker’s return, directed her to plot against Melody, and steal the jade pendant.
He believed his Melody was definitely still alive and well.
Besides a baseless certainty, it was also due to the treasure of Whitehill.
To obtain the treasure of Whitehill, apart from the Butterfly Jade Pendant in his hand, the Princess Butterfly was also needed to activate it.
For the sake of that treasure, Virgil Davies definitely wouldn’t kill Melody; instead, he would take good care of her.
Adrian exuded an alarming aura with frightening intensity in his scarlet eyes, "Virgil Davies, did you really think creating a fake decoy and finding some random woman to deceive me into believing Melody has passed away would work?"
Ha! What a joke!
One body had burn injuries everywhere else but a perfectly intact face, clearly it was Virgil Davies; while the other body was so charred it was impossible to identify the features.
Such a lowly cover-up, was it trying to insult his intelligence?
Even if that woman was burned beyond recognition and wore Melody’s earrings, it was clear at a glance she wasn’t Melody.
But upon seeing the female corpse, his heart was instantly filled with unprecedented panic and fear, afraid of the remotest possibility, afraid his Melody...
After calming down, Adrian pondered that Virgil Davies fabricated so many false appearances only to make him think Melody was dead.
But if Melody were truly dead, how would Virgil Davies even go about opening the treasure vault...
Adrian carefully stored the jade pendant and turned to leave the bedroom.
He took out his phone to contact Matthew, who was at the hospital, "Take good care of the two young masters, tell them I will definitely bring their mommy back."
After speaking, he strode onto the helicopter and set off for Mexico again.
...
In a private estate in Mexico, Virgil Davies’s men finally located Dr. Stewart.
They politely invited him, but Dr. Stewart was utterly unaware of the situation.
Unfortunately, they had no choice but to draw their guns, pressing them against Dr. Stewart’s head, threatening to kill his entire family if Dr. Stewart didn’t accompany them to the armory. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Little did they know that shortly after leaving the armory, someone started tailing them.
For however long they wandered in Mexico searching for Dr. Stewart, someone had been silently following them all along.
That someone was none other than Barrett Carter and the bodyguards he led, who were searching for Melody Parker’s whereabouts.
Upon discovering Virgil Davies’s men, Barrett Carter immediately trailed them, hoping to find Melody’s whereabouts through them.
And if that wasn’t possible, he intended to follow them to their hideout and capture them all in one fell swoop.
Barrett Carter and his team deliberately concealed their presence, ensuring Virgil Davies’s men never realized they were being followed.
They followed Virgil Davies’s men through winding mountain paths, watching them enter a dense forest.
Barrett Carter and his team followed them into the forest.
It was then that unforeseen changes occurred.
The bodyguards accompanying Barrett Carter began dying from poison one by one.
Watching the corpses fall one after another, Barrett Carter was enraged to the point of spitting blood.
Feeling the onset of poisoning himself, Barrett Carter immediately swallowed an antidote pill.
That antidote pill was something he had stolen when he was involved with the underworld; luckily, it came in handy now, or else he would certainly face death...
This forest was full of snakes, insects, and poisonous ants, with traps and mechanisms scattered everywhere, making a reckless venture clearly unfeasible.
In an instant, Barrett Carter no longer hid his murderous aura, which suddenly became terrifyingly fierce.
He acted without hesitation, and in the moment Virgil Davies’s men sensed the killing intent, he swiftly ended their lives.
Watching the men who had forced him there fall dead one by one, Dr. Stewart immediately turned and ran back without looking back.
Barrett Carter stopped him, "Dr. Stewart, where do you think you’re going?"
