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!
