Chapter 272 I Am Adeline
Adeline asked slowly, "Who is that person?"
"I don't know." Jessica looked around as if she was afraid of something. "I can't say, or we'll be punished."
Adeline looked at her, sensing something strange.
She reached out to check Jessica's body.
Adeline lifted her chin and carefully examined her pupils, her gaze suddenly turning cold. "Is someone administering Gu through contact on you?"
"We'll be punished." Jessica started slapping herself like a madwoman. "I talk too much; I talk too much!"
Then she began to cry. "Stella, you must study hard, okay? I'm counting on you. When you become successful, I can enjoy life in the big city with you."
She grabbed Adeline's hand. "Stella, you promised to buy a house for Samuel, right? I knew it, you're the most filial to me, much better than my useless daughter!"
Adeline paused for a moment. "You have a daughter?"
"I had a difficult labor, and after all that, it was a girl." Jessica stared at Adeline. "Why can I only give birth to girls? It's so unlucky. I couldn't even raise her, so I just let her die."
"This time, I must give birth to a boy!" Jessica's eyes darted around as she hugged a pillow. "Leroy, look, it's a boy!"
Seeing this, Adeline knew she couldn't get any more information.
The bad customs of Sulfur Mountain Village were more than just human trafficking.
What would happen to this village was beyond Adeline's control.
She came here personally to show the people outside the mountain what it was like inside, and why should girls study, go out, and see a broader world.
A true soul should not be confined to this mountains.
Her trip wasn't in vain; at least she saved someone.
Who was administering Gu through contact?
Adeline's slender fingers tapped the edge of the bed, a habitual gesture when she was thinking.
Poisonous Insects weren't cheap nowadays.
It seemed that the person using the Poisonous Insects was very afraid of her background being exposed.
Adeline suddenly curled her lips.
If that was the case, it would be easy to investigate.
The most important thing was her gem pot.
Adeline lowered her eyes, pressed her phone, and sent a message.
At this moment, Oliver was still chewing on his pen.
Aaron was so agitated that he made him and Angelo copy Adeline's test papers.
They couldn't go out until they scored like that!
Oliver was in despair when the long-silent bell rang!
"Boss!"
He immediately sat up straight, his fingers flying over the keyboard.
[Boss, you finally replied. Do you know how much I missed you? If you didn't message me soon, I would have thought you abandoned me! Boss, I recently met someone who sounded just like you. It scared me so much that I now respect her a lot!]
Seeing that he was still as talkative as ever, Adeline didn't let him continue and sent a voice message.
"Help me find someone. It's a gem collector in Eldoria, whose name is Kurt Lowe."
This voice message left Oliver momentarily stunned.
He listened to it again; it seemed like the Boss didn't use a voice changer.
The voice sounded a bit familiar. Was it an illusion?
At that moment, Adeline sent another message: [You heard right, I am Adeline.]
