Curtis and Steffen instinctively froze.
Adeline was in a daze, so she had not heard their conversation. She forced a smile, said hello, and
walked toward the dining table.
Seeing this, Curtis frowned and wheeled himself over to help her unpack the breakfast.
She violently trembled when his elbow touched her body and instantly distanced herself from him.

Curtis''s frown became more profound.
Adeline knew she had overreacted, so she quickly exined, "Sorry, I didn''t expect you to be
behind me."
Then, she lowered her head and silently ate breakfast.
She had dreamed about what happened a year ago and felt ufortable. She had a splitting
headache and wanted to vomit.
Seeing her pale face, Curtis gently asked, "Should I send for a doctor?"
"No, thanks. I''m full. I will go to work now."
Adeline anxiously got up, grabbed her bag, and quickly left the apartment.
As soon as the door closed, Curtis''s face became extremely gloomy.
Seeing this, Steffen dared not make a sound.
Judging from her reaction just now, they both vaguely sensed something.
Sophia asked Adeline to go to her office when thetter arrived at the school.
"Get ready! You will go to West District to participate in the excellent teacherpetition tomorrow."
Adeline subconsciously eximed, "West District? Can I refuse to go?"
Amber happened to enter Sophia''s office. And she was stunned to see Adeline overact.
Sophia frowned, "Why? Thepetition is held in West District every year. The preliminary contest
was held in East District, and you are the only teacher of our school who entered the next round. If
you refuse, who will go?"
Hearing this, Adeline quickly breathed. In a trance, she heard a male voice saying, "Don''t let me
see you in West District again."
The icy voice wound around her like a boa constrictor, sending shivers down her spine.
Sophia shouted, "Ms. Burton!"
Adeline returned to her senses and nodded, "Okay, I see. I''ll make preparations now."
Then, she left the office in a daze.
Sophia rolled her eyes and said to Hannah, "She is crazy."
Amber narrowed her eyes, feeling Adeline was afraid of going to West District. As soon as she left
the office, she told Hannah about it as a joke.
"Hannah, you are close to Vi. Do you know why her sister is so afraid of West District?"

Victoria was sitting in a private room of a coffeehouse, listening to the half-white-haired driver
Samuel''s report.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up!
"Jonathan? The only son of the Morris family?"
Samuel nodded, "Yes."
Victoria poured him a cup of coffee, ced it on the table, and said, "Samuel, sit down. You don''t
need to be so polite to me."
Samuel was her right-hand man, who she had brought from her natal family.
He was in his early fifties. Because he was calm and agile, she liked him very much.
Samuel sat down, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "Ma''am, why did you suddenly ask me to
investigate the boy?"
"My informer told me when Adeline went to the cinema with Curtis, a few high school students
scared her."
Suddenly, Victoriaughed, "I didn''t expect to find such a valuable person!"
Samuel narrowed his old eyes and asked, "Do you want to use Jonathan to deal with Adeline?
Didn''t you ask Alexander to do it in a few days?"
"I need double insurance."
Victoria gloomily sipped the coffee and said, "Jonathan is the only son of the Morris family, so they
regard him as a treasure. Compared with Alexander, he is a more valuable pawn."
Then, she smiled, "His sister Reba has chased after Curtis before, right?"
Samuel received a message from his subordinate, so he hurriedly reported to Victoria, saying,
"Adeline will go to West District to attend apetition."
Victoria banged the table with a long sound and said, "Good! Immediately inform Alexander!"
When Samuel was about to leave, she said, "Anonymously send Reba the photos of Curtis and
Adeline going to the cinema and tell her Adeline will be in West District tomorrow."
Then, she smiled in satisfaction, thinking there would be an excellent show to watch!
