Chapter 1713: Chapter 1716: She is the One Who Killed the Old Lady!
“Uncle, the DNA tests have confird everything. What else is unclear?”
Theodore Lucas’s expression darkened. He couldn’t shake the feeling that Maxwell Lucas was deliberately making things difficult for the two children.
He knew Maxwell Lucas didn’t like Evelyn Lucas much, but disliking her was one thing—how could he question her identity?
Maxwell Lucas said nothing, his face cold as he clapped his hands.
“Clap, clap, clap—”
After three crisp sounds, two people entered through the side door.
One of them was soone everyone recognized: his face was cold and expressionless. It was Sebastian Lucas VII, who had been missing from A City for quite so ti.
The other person walking beside him was hunched over, his hair gray and unkempt, appearing extrely old.
His beard and hair were tangled, making it hard to discern his features.
“This… who is this?” Theodore Lucas voiced the question that everyone had in their hearts.
Sebastian Lucas VII shoved the man to kneel before the altar, his tone icy as he said, “This is Liam Holbrook.”
“Liam Holbrook—?!”
Theodore Lucas’s left leg gave way. If not for his cane, he would have fallen to the ground.
Beside him, Tara Hammond felt as though her soul had already turned cold. The once gentle and serene expression on her face was now entirely drained of blood.
“Liam Holbrook? Wasn’t he the old lady’s driver?”
“Didn’t he die in the bombing? How could he be here?”
Liam Holbrook had once been Madam Lucas’s driver, so the other mbers of the Lucas family were familiar with his na.
They, like the rest of the world ignorant of the truth, had always assud Liam Holbrook had long been dead.
Maxwell Lucas cast a sidelong glance at Theodore Lucas, a flicker of malice flashing in his fathomless eyes.
Just looking at Theodore Lucas’s expression made it evident he had always been aware of Tara Hammond’s actions toward Little Katie.
“Liam Holbrook, speak—” Sebastian Lucas VII, receiving an indication from Maxwell Lucas, kicked Liam Holbrook hard in the leg.
Liam Holbrook collapsed to the ground in terror, wailing as he confessed, “I’ll say it, I’ll say it! The bombings—the bombings weren’t accidents. I tampered with them. I’m the one who killed the old lady…”
“Uncle Liam, our Lucas family has always treated you well. My grandmother regarded you highly too. Why did you harm her?” Mr. Lucas stood up, his voice sharp as he interrogated.
Tara Hammond desperately tried to signal Liam Holbrook with her eyes, but Liam Holbrook was already irredeemable by now.
From the mont Sebastian Lucas VII found him, he knew his fate was sealed.
What he had committed was a cri of imnse proportions. All these years, every quiet night, his conscience had relentlessly tornted him.
Liam Holbrook knelt on the ground and knocked his forehead three tis before Aidan Lucas, crying, “Mr. Lucas… it was . I failed you, failed the Lucas family, and failed the old lady… I was bewitched and listened to this woman…”
Liam Holbrook reached out, pointing directly at Tara Hammond.
Tara Hammond’s face instantly twisted in horror, “You… You’re lying! I don’t even know you!”
“You can stop pretending. Back then, even though you sent soone else to et , I kept an eye on that person and followed him. I saw him rendezvous with you. You kidnapped my son and grandson, then tempted with promises of escaping overseas and a large sum of money after it was done. I admit… I’m a coward. I’m greedy. I’m selfish, and so I succumbed to your threats and took your money!”
Saying this, Liam Holbrook turned to Theodore Lucas.
“Young Master, I used to drive for you too. You should know what kind of person I am!”
Liam Holbrook finished speaking and bowed heavily toward Theodore Lucas, his forehead slamming to the ground until bright blood stread down.
A pool of crimson ford on the floor, a sight so grueso it shocked anyone who saw it.
Yet even such a horrifying scene could not match the magnitude of the revelations that had just surfaced.
The dignified old Madam Lucas had been murdered by the mistress her own child kept outside.
If this were true, then Tara Hammond was undoubtedly the mortal enemy of the entire Lucas family.
