Chapter 74: Chapter 74: No man is allowed to touch you!

He gave her?

Ha, on what basis is he giving her money? And under what authority?

Does this man have a hole in his brain?

She’s refused him repeatedly, clearly and explicitly telling him she wouldn’t be his woman in the shadows anymore. Does he not get it?

Melody Parker laughed, "Director Davies wants to give me a raise? Sure, why not. After all, nowadays, no one finds money unwelcome. Plus, the benefits I’ve brought to the Davies Clan aren’t minor. Giving me a raise is just reasonable. But, whether to turn down those minor gigs, that’s not really something Director Davies should be concerned with."

Adrian Davies: Not his concern? And why is it not his concern?

This ungrateful woman, is she trying to work herself to exhaustion again?

Melody Parker’s face, blooming like a flower, was right in front of Adrian Davies.

Her smile was gorgeous, her originally thin face carried a sickly beauty, making people want to pull her into a tight embrace and spoil her.

But those slightly pale and enticing red lips, those lips he desperately wanted to seal, were still parting and closing, continuing to say things he didn’t want to hear.

"Regarding what Director Davies mentioned earlier, though it’s unnecessary, I do want to clarify: During my contract with the Davies Clan, I haven’t been involved in any scandal detrimental to the Davies Clan, nor have I affected the sales of ’A Dream of Love.’"

Adrian Davies knitted his brows, his aura suddenly dropping.

No scandals?

Is this woman really waiting until she hits a dead end to cry?

God knows, when he saw the video Ned Faris sent, how furious he was, how much he wanted to immediately fly to this woman’s side and teach her a lesson.

But he suppressed his anger, contained his almost murderous emotion, and after the shareholder meeting, what did he see?

On his desk, there was a tabloid, one featuring her lovingly with a rogue man!

Adrian Davies threw the infuriating newspaper onto the table in front of Melody Parker, his face icy.

"Take a look for yourself, have a good look, is this what you call no scandals? Huh?"

Melody Parker looked down at the tabloid.

When the headline "International Model and Her Mysterious Boyfriend" appeared before her eyes, Melody was taken aback.

Looking further down, there was a picture of Neal Galan holding her.

Her heart sank unexpectedly.

How could she have forgotten about this?

As an international model, though she relied on her own strength, rumors of a boyfriend or marriage could indeed affect her popularity and the products she endorsed.

Facing Adrian Davies’ face, dark as a pot bottom, she suddenly felt guilty and lowered her head, attempting an explanation, "This is just a misunderstanding, it can be cleared up."

Adrian’s burning gaze fixed intently on the slightly bowed Melody, "Misunderstanding?"

She raised her head, meeting Adrian Davies’s gaze straight on.

She hadn’t done anything wrong, it was merely a misunderstanding, why should she feel inexplicably guilty?

"Yes, it’s a misunderstanding. I fainted then, it was just someone saving me."

"Hmph!" Adrian snorted coldly, questioning as he looked at Melody, "Who was saving you?"

As he spoke, Adrian stood up, approaching Melody.

Confronted with the man’s sudden approach, Melody was slightly startled, "Uh... a friend!"

Adrian pressed closer step by step, his eyes, icy with restrained fury, never leaving Melody, "A friend, what kind of friend? Huh?"

The man was too tall, even with her height of over 5’7 plus three-inch heels, Melody still felt overshadowed.

The man’s presence was overwhelmingly strong, forcing Melody to retreat.

Until she backed up to the wall, cornered with nowhere to go.

He extended his arms, trapping Melody between the wall and himself.

His dark face lowered, almost touching Melody’s delicate face, "Is it that ’darling’? Huh? Or some other rogue man?"

The man’s dark eyes shimmered with a fierce chill.

He looked at the woman before him as if he might devour her at any moment.

Melody was speechless. What kind of nonsense was this?

What darling? What rogue man?

Melody couldn’t care about much else now, her survival instinct was strong as she shook her head, "No, Director Davies, he, he was just a friend, happened to pass by and rescued me, that’s why..."

"Friend? Passed by?" Adrian clearly didn’t believe, "Was it passing by or premeditated, huh? The way he looked at you was full of affection, wasn’t it nice being nestled in his arms? Hmm?"

Adrian forcefully pinched Melody’s chin, his cold, furious eyes filled with evident disbelief and questioning.

Melody raised her eyes, looking at the man who was questioning her.

This domineering, autocratic man, who never listens, always jumping to his own conclusions.

She had already explained, yet he refused to listen, now questioning and forcing her.

On top of that, he was gripping her chin so tightly.

It hurt! It really hurt!

This damned man, just as much as a jerk as always!

Anger surged within Melody, burning away her so-called survival instinct.

She suddenly exerted her strength, pushing away the man who had trapped her against the wall.

She looked at him, stating coldly, "Director Davies, even if he’s more than just a friend, what then? I only signed a contract with the Davies Clan for endorsements, not sold myself to the Davies Clan! Are you intending to control who I date and befriend? And what right do you have to interrogate me here?"

Adrian’s aura dropped further, his gaze becoming murderously frigid.

"Not allowed!" Adrian closed in again, once more cornering Melody against the wall, angrily stating, "Not allowed, I’ve said that a woman Adrian Davies has touched cannot be touched by others! I’ve kissed you, you bear my mark, no other man can touch you! Other than being my woman, you’re not allowed to date or befriend any other man!"

Melody snorted angrily, raising her cool eyes to meet Adrian Davies’s fiery, murderously intent gaze unflinchingly, derisively mocking, "Ha, where does Director Davies get such confidence? Just because you’ve touched me, doesn’t mean I can’t touch other men. Not even considering your touch was unsolicited, who do you think you are? Hmm? What if I insist on touching others? Are you planning to kill me or something?"

Looking at the woman challenging him and defying his authority, Adrian was so angry he could spit blood.

Kill her?

If it were anyone else daring to defy him like this, they wouldn’t know how many times they would have died by now.
