Chapter 357
Adam saw the fear in Lumma’s eyes. But he had already started the topic, if he didn’t finish it, she would only think
more. “Lumma, it’s not that what I said
is cruel, but that this society is so cruel. It is also a cruel reality that Keeley has
to face.”
Lumma had never met her mother, and her father passed away early. In the
past twenty-four years, she had seen too much reality in this society. She understood many things better than
anyone else. But she was unwilling to accept it. She sometimes thought naively that with hard work, anything could
be accomplished.
Her clenched hands loosened and tightened, then tightened and then loosened. “So do you mean that as long as
George doesn’t let Keeley go, Keeley will never be able to escape George’s control except death?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdam pushed the silver-rimmed spectacle frame on the nose and said, “Yes.”
“Mr. Hills, thank you for telling the truth!” Lumma thanked him and picked up a spoon to drink soup, but she lost her
appetite and even felt nauseated.
“Mr. Hills, eat slowly. I ate a lot last night. So I won’t eat because I’m not hungry.” Lumma hurriedly got up, ran to
the guest room on the second floor, rushed into the bathroom, and hugged the toilet, vomiting until she was dizzy
and didn’t spit out anything.
She sat on the floor dejectedly, took out her mobile phone, and looked at Keeley’s phone number. Several times,
she wanted to call or send a message to Keeley, but she didn’t have the courage.
Lumma knew very well that what Adam said was right. Keeley could not escape from George. And it might be best
not to let her know that she was still under George’s control.
Did she really have to accept her fate like this?
Lumma didn’t know and was in a mess.

“Lumma, Keeley and George are married, they are the closest people. To
Keeley, you are just an outsider who has only met a few times. You are not
even good friends. Why do you torture yourself?”
Adam’s deep voice was still as pleasant as before, but it reached Lumma’s ears at this moment, like curses, which
made people frightened.
Lumma got up from the ground and slowly turned her head to look at Adam who was standing at the door of the
bathroom. His perfectly handsome face seemed to grow fangs at this moment.
Lumma opened her mouth to say something. But her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn’t
utter a single word.
“Lumma…” Adam stretched out his hand, wanting to help her. But before touching her sleeve, Lumma backed
away in fright, and she looked at him. warily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAdam had seen this kind of fearful look from others. But this was the first time he saw it in Lumma’s eyes. This
made him very panic. “Lumma, what do you want to do? You tell me. I’ll do it.”
“I hope that Keeley can get rid of George completely. I hope that Keeley can be truly free and happy.” Lumma
thought so in her heart, but couldn’t speak.
There was no such free thing. And she understood this truth at a very young age. “Mr. Hills, what do you want from
me?”
George was very powerful. If he helped Keeley completely get rid of George’s control, he would definitely spend a
lot of manpower, material, and financial resources. Adam was a capitalist. He had no relationship with Keeley and
her. If he was willing to help, he must want to get more benefits from Keeley and her.
Lumma couldn’t think of anything between her and Keeley that would interest
Adam!
Adam was very hurt by Lumma’s reaction. “Lumma, we’ve been working together for almost a year. Is that how
you think of me?”
