As soon as Adam ntioned this, Elly imdiately understood what he ant.
Alva Hughes deliberately set up Douglas Turnbaugh, spoiling him into the lawless state he’s in today. Even if he hadn’t encountered Adam, he would have t soone else who would have posed a problem for Alva Hughes—soone he couldn’t handle.
When that ti ca, even if Lady Turnbaugh and Douglas’s maternal family had complaints, they couldn’t really make any logical argunt.
This ti, Douglas had been crippled by Adam, and even if Alva Hughes wanted to settle the score with Adam, did he have the ability to do so?
Even if he did, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and Alva Hughes was no fool; he would have been aware of the consequences of such actions.
In fact, deep down, Alva Hughes might even be grateful that Adam had taken this problem off his hands.
Although Douglas deserved to die, Elly also felt that Alva Hughes was worthless, being cruel enough to utterly destroy his own son for his illegitimate child.
It was said that when Alva Hughes was young, he was so poor he lived under a bridge. It was Lady Turnbaugh who took a liking to him and allowed him to marry into the Turnbaugh family. With sufficient financial support, Alva Hughes was able to get to where he is today.
Moreover, although he married into the family, the Turnbaughs treated Alva Hughes with respect, and their only son took on Alva’s surna.
Yet in the end, the Turnbaugh family raised such an ingrate.
Elly had little respect for Alva Hughes and couldn’t help but curl her lips in sarcasm:
“You n are really sothing, each of you has a bunch of illegitimate children on the side.”
Not to ntion the distant cases, just around her, her own father, Jas Campbell, Harry Hall’s father William Hall, and this construction magnate who rose to wealth through his wife but treated his own son so harshly—each of them favored their illegitimate children to the heavens.
Adam felt offended when his wife said this.
“Wife, you can’t tar everyone with the sa brush. I, your husband, have been faithful to you from the start…”
As he said this, he paused, a sly twinkle in his eye as he lowered his voice, “And I’ve been ‘celibate’ for you for many years.”
Although it was a declaration of loyalty, Elly inexplicably heard sothing indecent hidden in the words “celibate.”
Especially given Adam’s sly and suggestive look, Elly couldn’t help but feel her ears heat up.
But the next second, she felt she shouldn’t back down so easily. Despite her burning ears, she looked at Adam and scoffed, “Really? Should I check?”
The muscles at the corner of Adam’s mouth twitched fiercely. Looking at his wife, whose ears were red-hot yet she insisted on making indecent jokes like him, he found her adorable and wanted to…
“You really want to check?”
He raised an eyebrow at Elly, his gaze casually swept over her increasingly flushed ears. Although they were an old married couple, seeing his wife’s ears turn red while she made indecent jokes was extrely pleasing to the eye.
“Scared?”
Elly raised an eyebrow, but her heart was beating faster despite herself.
“Uh, yes, a bit shy.”
Though saying so, Elly watched as the man in front of her began to undress.
Given the warm climate, Adam wore only a black cotton T-shirt and light grey casual sweatpants, a loose-fitting outfit. With a slight tug of the drawstring, the waistband loosened and slipped down, revealing his smooth, solid abs.
Even though most of it was hidden under the white gauze, still stained with a faint hint of blood, it did not detract from the allure of those sensuous abs.
