Chapter 693: 693. Hit someone when you say you will hit them_1
However, before he could finish, Elly Campbell kicked him squarely in the abdomen.
Douglas 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 yet comical sight that made some people laugh out loud.
It was the first time Douglas 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 internet celebrity girlfriend, he glared 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 have come at all.
Elly had no intention of paying any more attention to Douglas, 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..."
Douglas was about to charge at her, but was suddenly stopped by Sophia Green, who had been shocked by Elly’s actions.
"Douglas, don’t be like this, let’s talk this out peacefully," she said.
Alva Turnbaugh had a good relationship with Cam Green. As a result, Douglas and Sophia Green, who were both childhood friends, had grown up playing together. For his neighbor and sister-like figure, Sophia, Douglas 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, Douglas then approached Elly, his expression filled with difficulty.
"Mrs. Jones, you’ve insulted me time and again, and I’ve borne it all. Douglas 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 play 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 Douglas’ inappropriate advances were well-intentioned gestures, and completely 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 glanced around, and sure enough, she saw the owner of the island approaching them with a displeased expression.
And the volume of Sophia’s speech had been just loud enough for her ’island 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 Douglas 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 relaxed and composed manner.
