Chapter 358
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?”
Adam 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.
Adam 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?”
