Chapter 314 Reluctance
"Don't worry." Adeline gently hugged her. "Take care of your back."
Jenna, usually so hot-tempered, now hugged Adeline back like a child. "If you need anything, just go to the Miller Family. Don't be polite with them. With Louis's connection, they would be more than happy to help you. Besides, you have done a favor for the Miller Family. Without you, Jesse wouldn't have achieved what he has today.Remember, you are a part of Sunnybrook Apartments. No matter what happens with your biological parents, we won't let you suffer any grievances. We are all here for you, still alive and kicking!"
"Jenna is right, the same goes for when you get to Zelphoria," one of the elderly weakly added. "We are not afraid."
Jenna shot him a glance. "Alright, you better keep quiet. Don't forget who caused trouble last time when Adeline got arrested!"
Adeline smiled. "Orville Kidd is innocent; some people are just too good at pretending."
"Innocent? He's retired and still had to say who he thought was good. In the past, that would be considered interfering with appointments!" Jenna was stern with everyone except Adeline. "You tell me, were you right?"
Orville immediately admitted, "I was wrong!"
He hurriedly explained to Adeline, "Jenna is looking out for me. That scoundrel dared to harm the public. If it weren't for your incident, he would still be flaunting my name. I shouldn't have spoken out of turn."
The elderly were referring to the time when Adeline was falsely accused during a live broadcast.
If Victor had continued in his position, it would have implicated Orville, tarnishing his lifelong reputation.
Just thinking about it made Orville's chest ache with anger.
The old friends in the community had stopped playing chess with him recently.
He knew why—he had brought in a "good student" who even dared to arrest Adeline.
Orville wanted to make amends. "Adeline, when you get to Zelphoria, if you don't want to go to the Miller Family, I've arranged someone for you. Just let them know if you need anything."
"Thank you, Orville." Adeline smiled lightly.
But she knew in her heart that anyone who could speak up in Zelphoria was not simple.
Jenna was satisfied. "Finally, you did something reliable."
Orville smiled, looking very honest.
Jenna turned to Adeline. "Don't neglect your studies. My students are all in Zelphoria. If you need anything, just let them know. You're the youngest, they should look after you."
"Okay." Adeline knew how much the elderly around her cared for her.
They wanted her to have confidence when she got to Zelphoria.
That was why they had arranged everything so thoroughly, even providing her with connections.
Feeling warm, Adeline bent down and hugged Jenna again.
Jenna couldn't hold back, her eyes reddening. "Go on, be bold. We are all here for you."
Most of the old leaders living in Sunnybrook Apartments didn't have children.
In a way, Adeline was their child.
Daniel was smart. From the moment he met Adeline, he knew she had unlimited potential.
Now it was all coming true. The most important thing was that the leaders in Sunnybrook Apartments were all remarkable individuals.
As the group's favorite, Adeline had countless remarkable people protecting her.
Daniel was genuinely envious!
Adeline hadn't even left yet.
But over in Zelphoria, the heads of all the responsible districts had already received the news, instructing them to take good care of the yet-to-be-met Adeline.
