Chapter 51 Sophia Felt Embarrassed, While Adeline was the Envy of Everyone

Hearing the parents subtly implying her corruption, Sophia's face immediately changed, and she quickly explained, "I... This dress is not from Valentino! It was a gift from a close friend, who said it cost just over a thousand, not that expensive."

Sophia's words were not false. This dress was a high-quality imitation that she bought for just over a thousand.

"Oh," The parent's voice dragged on for a while, "So it's a replica! That makes sense, then."

Saying that, the two parents glanced deeply at Adeline, "Ms. Burton, this dress looks really nice on you."

After expressing compliments, the two of them left together, leaving Sophia, who had just admitted to wearing a replica, with a burning sensation on her face.

Although it was a replica, she had carefully considered and reluctantly bought it for over a thousand.

Being publicly humiliated like this, how could she not feel angry?

Sophia's face turned dark, and she turned around, stomping back to her office in high heels.

Seeing this, Adeline also prepared to enter the teachers' office, but before she could take a step, she was surrounded by colleagues.

"Adeline, let me touch your dress. I've never touched a dress worth 150,000 before!"

"Yeah, let me have a look and broaden my horizons."

"Adeline, is your ring worth tens of millions? My goodness! How does it feel to wear a whole set of luxury apartments on your finger?"

Several female teachers spoke one after another, all reaching out to touch Adeline.

Adeline was tickled by everyone's touch and laughed as she explained.

"This dress was a gift from my husband, and it also might be a replica. As for this diamond ring, that parent must have been mistaken. My husband said it's not valuable and it couldn't possibly be worth millions."

The surrounding female teachers also didn't learn about that, and no one could give a definite answer.

At this moment, a married female teacher looked at Adeline's diamond ring and spoke up, "Ms. Burton, don't be modest. With a husband who can afford the multi-billion-dollar luxury apartment in Bay Hall and it's not impossible that he buys you this diamond ring worth over ten million."

The female teachers were shocked to hear about the multi-billion-dollar luxury apartment and exclaimed once again.

Adeline herself was also stunned, "That luxury apartment shouldn't be that expensive, right?"

She had privately estimated the market value to be around ten million.

But the difference between ten million and over a hundred million was significant!

Other female teachers also agreed, "Yes, that luxury apartment does look quite luxurious, but according to the rumored price per square meter, it should be possible to get it for seven or eight million."

The married female teacher chuckled lightly, "Do you know that my husband is the chief engineer of Bay Hall?"

Everyone nodded, almost forgetting about that.

"In the beginning, my husband and I also wanted to buy a property in Bay Hall. When my husband was working on the construction, he had his eye on the house owned by Ms. Burton's family. We thought that with the market price, we could afford the mortgage. Little did we know, when he asked his boss, he found out that the house had the best view in the entire development and was the most expensive. It was specifically reserved for the wealthy clients in Prodiff.

To secure a spot, not only did you have to compete internally and have strong relationships, but also you need to have a high status in Prodiff and be able to afford the internal price. The price of that house was not publicly disclosed, and the facilities inside were top-notch.

That day, after I went to Ms. Burton's house, I took pictures and showed them to my husband. He knows his stuff and was very certain that with the house and the interior decoration, it couldn't be worth less than a hundred million."

As the voice fell, the teachers found this information highly credible and exclaimed in envy once again.

"Adeline, I envy you so much. You have such an amazing husband."

"Adeline, your husband is really generous. Such an expensive house, and he just gives it to you!"

Seeing this scene, Hannah's sister was so jealous that she almost bit her teeth.

Why!

Why was Adeline's class always outperforming hers in Chinese, and why did she have such a rich husband?

She has a luxury apartment in Bay Hall and he even bought her such an expensive diamond ring!

Hannah's sister actually overheard her sister's conversation with Viola last night and knew about her petty thoughts, but she didn't reprimand her sister at the time.

Anyway, if her sister made a mistake, it had nothing to do with her.

Their relationship was just superficial, and both of them hoped that the other would not marry as well as herself and not live as well as herself in the future.

Her sister looked down on her measly salary, and she looked down on her sister's idleness.

They each found fault with each other.

At this moment, Hannah's sister's lips curled up, and she wanted to add fuel to the fire.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to her sister.

After sending the message, Hannah's sister glanced contemptuously in Adeline's direction.

She was waiting for Adeline to become a forsaken woman, crying and sobbing!

How many of these rich people could be sincere?

Soon, the bell for class rang, and the teachers surrounding Adeline dispersed.

Adeline returned to her desk, turned on the computer, and started her day's work.

During the lunch break, Melissa came to find her to have a meal and also to go shopping.

Just after finishing their meal, Logan's call came again.

In front of Melissa, Adeline answered the phone calmly.

Melissa leaned in closer, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation.

On the other end of the phone, Logan's gentle voice came through.

"Adeline, have you calmed down?"

Melissa was speechless.

What kind of brain-dead opening was this?

Adeline instinctively furrowed her brows. "Logan, I already explained everything to you clearly last night."

"Adeline, can you stop being mad at me? I know, the day I went on a business trip, you were very scared. You must have been anxious about the incident with Mr. Baker. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

But Adeline, I can't help it. That's how it is in the workplace. You're also a working staff, and you could understand that when the company asks you to go on a business trip, you have no choice.

And, my Adeline, haven't you always been very supportive of my archaeology work? I often tell my colleagues that we need a considerate and understanding wife like you in our profession..."

"Logan." Adeline interrupted Logan's incessant chatter. "You're still on your business trip now, so please focus on your work. When you return, if you need to have a face-to-face conversation, where I will explain and provide you with an explanation. Both my husband and I will be present to provide you with an explanation.

This matter can't be resolved over the phone for the time being. If I say it now, it will only affect your work. When you come back, we can talk about it."

"Adeline! Don't lie to me anymore. I know it's impossible for you to marry someone else! Don't provoke me anymore.

I've already said, there are only a few days left. Once I finish my work here, I can come back quickly. If you provoke me now, I won't be able to come back immediately."

Listening to these words, Adeline felt a bit uneasy.

Before she could say anything, Logan continued in a gentle tone.

"I talked to my mom on the phone last night, and she said you're no longer living in the old house. Adeline, tell me the truth, is there any misunderstanding between you and my mom? Did she upset you?"
