Chapter 1682: Chapter 1685: Played by a Woman for Over a Decade
The conversation was just two sentences, one from Evelyn Lucas and one from Tara Hammond.
Though brief, both Lily and Aidan Lucas picked up on sothing suspicious.
“Who is Ross Bright?” Lily asked.
She hadn’t heard that na before, but since Evelyn Lucas wanted him to target Aidan Lucas, this person must not be insignificant.
“Abbie, leave.” Aidan Lucas’s deep, chilling voice rang out.
Only then did Lily realize that the man’s face had sohow turned pale and frosty.
A vague, ominous feeling stirred inside her.
The cold, fierce aura emanating from Aidan Lucas alard even Abbie.
He was about to speak but was stopped by Lily.
“Abbie, you go first… Mommy has sothing to discuss with Daddy. Go downstairs and stay with Lulu.”
A child always listens to their mom.
Though Abbie had already sensed that Aidan Lucas’s deanor wasn’t quite right, he still obediently went downstairs.
As soon as Abbie left, Lily imdiately turned and embraced Aidan Lucas.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Is there sothing off with that na? If you’re not feeling okay, we can stop thinking about it.”
Monts ago, there had been a flash of crimson in Aidan Lucas’s eyes—sothing that terrified her.
That gaze, that cruel, icy ferocity—it was eerily like his other personality.
Lily wasn’t afraid of his second personality, but Aidan Lucas’s condition was clearly unusual.
He had told her before that ever since their mories had beco connected, the two personalities could switch under calr conditions if the other was willing.
But right now, Aidan Lucas’s gaze was icy cold, a storm of ominous hostility swirling steadily in his eyes.
His reaction worried Lily. Wrapping her arms around his waist, her soft body pressed tightly against him.
“It’s okay, it’s okay… Don’t think too much, it’s going to be okay…”
Lily was certain that this person called Ross Bright had to be soone problematic.
Aidan Lucas wasn’t soone who easily displayed his emotions.
Though he had a dual personality, his primary personality’s ability to control his emotions was far superior to that of ordinary people.
Except for herself, this was the first ti Lily had seen Aidan Lucas influenced so easily by an outsider.
The man’s body was completely tense, his back rigid, the muscles in his arms faintly rippling.
He pulled Lily into his embrace, burying his face in her soft hair, inhaling the sweet and warm fragrance that belonged only to this woman.
Inside Aidan Lucas, a beast was roaring.
The na “Ross Bright” wasn’t just a source of sorrow; it was also the deepest agony for the man dormant within his body.
For a long mont, as Lily thought Aidan Lucas was about to avoid the topic altogether,
the man holding her suddenly leaned against the crook of her shoulder and said in a voice as calm as it was profoundly low: “Ross Bright… He was the mastermind who got away when I was kidnapped.”
As a child, he was abducted, ruthlessly tornted.
Neither his primary personality nor the second, who silently observed it all, could ever forget the mories of that man’s abuse.
They had always believed that the kidnapping sche had been orchestrated by none other than the unscrupulous Theodore Lucas.
It was he who had uncharacteristically taken the initiative to invite him out to play.
It was he who, after Aidan Lucas had been rescued but was still hovering between life and death, proposed bringing Nolan Lucas back to the Lucas family and adding him to the family tree.
Everyone, including Mr. Lucas, Madam Lucas, and Emily Taylor, had thought that Theodore Lucas was the cruel mastermind.
But it wasn’t until today that Aidan Lucas realized that all of them had been toyed with by Tara Hammond.
“Tara Hammond—” He tightened his arms, gritting his teeth. “Ross Bright and you, I won’t spare either of you!”
*
Ross Bright was nothing more than a na dredged up again because of this recording.
In truth, ever since Mr. Lucas’s kidnapping and his eventual rise to head of the family, neither Mr. Lucas himself nor the Lucas family had ever stopped their search for Ross Bright.
