Interpreter:

Ada is the only daughter of the Shelby siblings. She is also the only member of the Shelby family who does not want to be involved in the affairs of the Peaky Blinders. However, it eventually had a high position in the U.S. branch of the Shelby Company, dealing primarily with the company's legal activities.
When she discovers herself pregnant with Freddie Thorne, her secret communist lover and former friend of Thomas, she decides to turn to Polly with whom she is very close to get her help. She later gave birth to a boy named Karl, in tribute to Karl Marx.
