Chapter 308 The More Scheming Adeline in Zelphoria
"Jesse, go ask the waiter to add another dish of pork hock." Only Louis could command Jesse like that.
Everyone was afraid of Louis, and it wasn't just a rumor.
Even now, when Jesse saw Louis, he would get nervous and not dare to act out of line.
Adeline naturally acted like a junior. "Pork hock is too greasy, your blood pressure is high, get something else."
"Listen to Adeline, get something else." Louis had her sit next to him, his eyes full of appreciation and concern. "Your trip to Eastgate Towns was truly a remarkable achievement."
Adeline poured Louis a cup of hot tea. "It was just a coincidence, I was also looking into my own background."
"What coincidence? Jesse told me that before you left, you sent him a note." Louis pointed at Jesse. "He's lucky to have someone like you, who is so discreet and capable, to clear the way for him. Otherwise, how could he have understood Eldoria so quickly? He needed political achievements, and you provided them. He happened to be investigating Ravenwood County, and you got involved. Jesse, you should really thank Adeline. Where else could you find someone who helps you like this?"
Jesse immediately stood up, drank his wine, and had Adeline drink tea. "Not just for myself, but for the people of Eldoria, Adeline, thank you. If you ever need anything, just tell me."
With that, he downed his drink.
Louis had never had children for the sake of the country.
He had devoted most of his life to it, and in his later years, he met such a righteous junior.
It showed his mindset, patriotic and concerned for the people.
Louis always hoped that the people in the country could live well. He had come to Eldoria to recuperate because his health was poor.
The outside world speculated that he had been demoted.
How could someone like Louis be demoted? He was just too worried.
Now that his health had improved, Zelphoria couldn't do without him.
He himself couldn't let go; some people still hadn't achieved a comfortable life, and he had to work hard.
This sudden transfer order was actually part of Louis's plan.
The only thing he couldn't let go of was Adeline. "If you have any issues, don't always bear them alone. The things the Mitchell Family and the Martinez Family are doing, if you don't want to damage my image, you can ask Daniel for help. Don't keep everything to yourself."
"It's not a big deal." Adeline knew that someone like Louis was a blessing for the people, and she didn't want to trouble him with her issues. "Daniel is also under a lot of pressure. There are so many people in the community asking for his help; he's already overwhelmed."
Louis genuinely cared for Adeline. "You're just like me when I was young!"
"Mr. Anderson, saying Adeline is like you when you were young isn't exactly a compliment; she's a girl." Jesse, affected by the atmosphere, dared to joke. "The Mitchell Family is truly shameless. I haven't seen anyone like them even in Zelphoria."
Adeline took a bite of the lamb Louis had given her.
If she didn't eat, her plate would overflow with food.
"They're not important." Adeline put down her knife and fork. "There's one thing, Jesse, you need to pay attention to."
Jesse's face turned serious. "Go on."
"Among the leaders assigned today, someone from the Jones family warned me during the award ceremony." Adeline's thoughts were clear. "So far, there's no evidence linking them to the Ravenwood County incident, but since they've shown themselves, I think you should be cautious."
Jesse raised an eyebrow. "You think I need to be wary of the Jones family?"
"Despicable people always need to be guarded against." Adeline looked at him. "I'm worried the Jones family might plot against you."
Louis listened from the side. "Let Jesse worry about this; you're in more danger."
"Me?" Adeline blinked, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "I'm going to Zelphoria too. If they dare, let them try."
