Chapter 304 Warning Adeline
She had a microphone pinned to her collar, and her words could be heard throughout the entire hall.
Everyone present was deeply moved, especially the parents who had lost their children.
Adeline wasn't good at handling such kindness, so she just patted Cadence's shoulder lightly and said softly, "Good luck! If you need anything in the future, give me a call."
Only the parents searching for their children could truly understand what this breakthrough meant to them.
Standing in the center, though Adeline was just a young girl, and her face was not revealed, when the two stood side by side, people felt an intangible sense of hope.
For the children who were still missing, they believed that one day, everyone would come home!
The trial for the human traffickers this time was also very severe.
In the midst of the storm, no one dared to cover up anymore.
The heavy sentences for the people of Ravenwood County were truly satisfying.
Finally, it was the award ceremony. As the leaders who came to offer condolences, Pax and two others took the stage one after another.
This moment was sure to be recorded.
Adeline hadn't taken it seriously at first.
When the flashlights went off, the person presenting the award whispered in her ear as he passed by, "You're quite capable, young lady, but remember to know your limits. Don't be too aggressive; rigidity can lead to breaking."
The man in the suit straightened up after saying this.
He looked polite and scholarly, with glasses on his face, appearing like a good leader, smiling at her. "The trophy is a bit heavy, hold it steady."
His amiable demeanor showed no trace of threat under the camera.
But Adeline raised an eyebrow. How could she not detect the threat in his words?
It seems there were still some loose ends in the Ravenwood County situation.
Adeline took the trophy and smiled slowly, her lips curling with amusement. "What's your name?"
Pax obviously didn't expect her to ask him back. Given his status, not even the various leaders of Eldoria would dare to breathe in his presence.
It seemed the rumors were true; she was indeed stubborn!
"How can you ask the leader's name?" Douglas tried to brush it off.
The Miller Family and the Jones Family were at odds.
Adeline was clearly under Jesse's protection.
Douglas hadn't yet decided whom to support.
Preventing a direct conflict between the two families was his top priority.
Adeline nonchalantly said, "I need to know who is presenting me the award."
"I'm from the Jones family," Pax said. "Douglas, look at you, how can you be so dismissive to our hero? She's right; she should recognize my face."
Although Pax was smiling, there was no warmth in his eyes.
Having been warned like this, Adeline couldn't possibly indulge him any further.
"Have you ever heard a saying?" Adeline looked at the trophy in her hand. "Don't advise young people; today's youth don't listen to advice."
Suddenly, Pax's hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched tightly.
If it weren't for the cameras, he wouldn't have allowed Adeline to challenge him like this!
But he was cunning and didn't show it. Instead, he laughed heartily at Adeline's words. "What a saying, today's youth don't listen to advice. Young lady, you should maintain this stubbornness in the future."
"Young people are full of ambition." Douglas tried to ease the tension. "She'll understand when she hits a wall."
Adeline couldn't be bothered to deal with the two of them any longer.
Pax also stepped off the stage.
Since Adeline didn't know what was good for her, the Jones Family wouldn't hesitate to eliminate her completely!
