Chapter 1683: Chapter 1686: Tara Hammond and That Man, There Might Be Sothing Going On
“All these years, I thought he had died long ago… I never imagined he’d been staying by Tara Hammond’s side all along.”
Evelyn Lucas knowing about this man proves that she must have t him before.
Tara Hammond and Evelyn Lucas have lived in B City for a long ti, and Evelyn was once the First Lady. Her influence in B City runs deeper than his, no wonder she was able to help him hide.
“I’ve sent Cooper I and Cooper II to investigate. They’re more familiar with B City than Sebastian Lucas VII. Ross Bright… we must find him.”
Aidan Lucas felt a violent storm rising within him, an uncontrollable madness shouting to break free.
If not for matters in A City keeping him bound, he would have rushed to B City himself to drag Ross Bright out.
It wasn’t just him. Aidan Lucas could sense that even the dormant presence within his own body was stirring restlessly at the ntion of that na.
“Hmm, don’t worry. As long as he’s still around Tara Hammond, he can be found. But… aside from this, I think we can investigate another lead.”
Lily, being a woman, was keen on certain details that n might overlook.
The tone Evelyn Lucas used when she ntioned Ross Bright tomorrow carried traces of dependency and trust.
As for Tara Hammond, beyond dependency and trust, Lily could also sense her panic and helplessness.
Even though she was at ho, why wouldn’t she dare to ntion the na “Ross Bright”?
Thinking about this, Lily spoke resolutely, “You can have soone investigate the relationship Tara Hammond had with Ross Bright over the years, or even before the kidnapping case. I suspect… there’s sothing unspeakable between her and this man.”
“…” Aidan Lucas’s dark eyes sank.
Though he disdained Tara Hammond, he still found Lily’s suspicion a bit absurd.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Lily, but rather that he couldn’t see any benefit for Tara Hammond to act this way.
“If I recall correctly, more than ten years ago, Ross Bright was rely a gang leader among the thugs. Theodore Lucas’s status, position, appearance—he surpasses Ross Bright by a hundredfold in every aspect. Besides, although Theodore has wronged our family in this lifeti, he’s been unwaveringly devoted to Tara Hammond. Unless Tara is utterly foolish, there’s no way she’d betray him for a re gang leader.”
“What you say makes sense.” Lily nodded, but then her tone shifted. “But won’s hearts are enigmatic. Theodore may love Tara Hammond, but Tara Hammond may not express the sa unwavering affection for Theodore.”
Love has never been equal.
“Moreover, before your kidnapping years ago, Tara Hammond’s position in the family must have been quite awkward. Your grandparents were alive then, and they disliked her. Furthermore, her hopes rested on Nolan Lucas, but he couldn’t secure entry into the Lucas family. Perhaps at that ti, she felt abandoned, perhaps she blad Theodore. Maybe, just then, she sought solace in another man…”
Lily spoke from the perspective of a woman.
The more she analyzed, the darker Mr. Lucas’s deep-set eyes grew.
Because her words reminded him of Emily Taylor—the countless grievances she once aired.
“Let’s go. We’re heading to Mother’s room.” Mr. Lucas pocketed the listening device and helped Lily up.
In his mind, scattered pieces of speculation started forming. Not just Tara Hammond and Ross Bright, but he even began questioning the roles of Nolan Lucas and Evelyn Lucas.

A mont later, Mr. Lucas and Lily arrived at Emily Taylor’s room.
Emily Taylor had just begun recovering, Sylvia Scott was sitting by her bedside, chatting with her.
Upon hearing Mr. Lucas’s question, Emily Taylor furrowed her brow. “Why are you suddenly asking about things that happened more than twenty years ago? Aidan, did sothing major happen?”
Aidan Lucas’s position as head of the family had been under scrutiny, leaving Emily Taylor feeling increasingly paranoid.
“Mother, don’t worry, it has nothing to do with . I simply have sothing I need to verify. Try to recall—around the ti I was born, what was Theodore and Tara Hammond’s relationship like?”
