Complex Object + adverbs

Hello, Everyone. Could you help me with the Complex Object?

The task is to combine two sentences using the Complex Object.

I could hear it perfectly well. They were discussing me. => I could hear them discussing me.

Where can I put "perfectly well" in the sentence with the Complex Object (e.g., I could hear them perfectly well discussing me)? Or do I have to omit it?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, Annetik,

I'd put "perfectly well" in the middle of the verb phrase to avoid cutting off the accusative -ing structure:

- I could perfectly well hear them discussing me.
