<h4>Chapter 693: 693. Hit someone when you say you will hit them_1</h4><subtxt> "You cheap bitch, I’ll beat you to death..."


    However, before he could finish, Elly Campbell kicked him squarely in the abdomen.


    Dous Turnbaugh was clearly weakened by his dissolute lifestyle, his body frail and his stance unstable. He appeared skinny, and with Elly’s kick, he fell straight onto the sand.


    Face down, he got a mouthful of sand, a pitiful yetical sight that made some peopleugh out loud.


    It was the first time Dous had been humiliated by a woman to such an extent; he was so furious he forgot all about his image.


    After being helped up by his inte celebrity girlfriend, he red at Elly with a fierce intensity, like a wild beast ready to devour her.


    Elly gave him a once over, the mockery in her eyes growing thicker.


    "Your body is so weak; you should go back and strengthen it."


    Having said that, she walked back with Helen Melendy, who was equally infuriated by her side.


    What bad luck. If they had known they would run into a bunch of idiots, they wouldn’t havee at all.


    Elly had no intention of paying any more attention to Dous, but he obviously wasn’t about to let her walk away just like that.


    So what if she was Adam Jones’ wife? He would deal with her all the same.


    "Damn bitch..."


    Dous was about to charge at her, but was suddenly stopped by Sophia Green, who had been shocked by Elly’s actions.


    "Dous, don’t be like this, let’s talk this out peacefully," she said.


    Alva Turnbaugh had a good rtionship with Cam Green. As a result, Dous and Sophia Green, who were both childhood friends, had grown up ying together. For his neighbor and sister-like figure, Sophia, Dous was gentle.


    She held him back, and although he didn’t roughly shake her off, the vicious look on his face didn’t diminish.


    Seeing Sophia give him a look, Dous then approached Elly, his expression filled with difficulty.


    "Mrs. Jones, you’ve insulted me time and again, and I’ve borne it all. Dous was merely trying to mediate, how can you just hit people like that? Isn’t that a bit too much?"


    Sophia’s voice seemed intentionally raised to Elly’s ears, lip quivering, a picture of someone bullied to their limits. Elly was all too familiar with this act.


    She had seen Sophie Baker y it countless times before.


    Initially, Elly thought Sophia had a wide range of acting skills, but it turned out her specialty was the ’damsel in distress’ routine.


    Listening to her make it sound like Dous’ inappropriate advances were well-intentioned gestures, andpletely omitting the vulgar words he had said to her, it was clear that this performance was for someone else to hear, wasn’t it?


    With that thought, Elly nced around, and sure enough, she saw the owner of the ind approaching them with a displeased expression.


    And the volume of Sophia’s speech had been just loud enough for her ’ind owner’ to hear.


    For some reason, Elly thought Sophia looked like a clown at that moment, thinking herself clever but not realizing everyone else saw her as a fool.


    As Adam approached them, Sophia looked at Elly with a face full of hurt and continued:


    "I’ve heard from Dous that the Turnbaugh and Jones families have always been long-term business partners. If you hit people at the drop of a hat, won’t it affect the cooperation between Turnbaugh and Jones families? Isn’t that making trouble for President Jones?"


    She spoke with earnest advice, but her words were filled with insinuations meant to stir up trouble with Elly for damaging the Jones’ business dealings.


    Watching the excitement that Sophia couldn’t hide because of Adam’s approach, Elly raised an eyebrow in a rxed andposed manner.</subtxt>
