Of course, the origin of these sons was somewhat illegitimate.
As soon as Adam mentioned this, Elly immediately understood what he meant.
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 met someone else who would have posed a problem for Alva Hughes—someone he couldn't handle.
When that time came, even if Lady Turnbaugh and Douglas's maternal family had complaints, they couldn't really make any logical argument.
This time, 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?

In fact, deep down, Alva Hughes might even be grateful that Adam had taken this problem off his hands.
