Chapter 1714: Chapter 1717: Theodore Lucas Ultimately Chose Tara Hammond
“I… Theodore, I didn’t…” Tara Hammond grabbed Theodore Lucas’s wrist, her eyes blurred with tears.
Of course, she did, she was the one who did it.
And Theodore Lucas had known for a long ti.
But now, in front of so many Lucas family mbers, even if Tara Hammond’s heart was pounding with fear, she had to stubbornly deny it.
Theodore Lucas received Tara Hammond’s panicked look for help and imdiately softened.
When he found out about this matter, he had already slapped Tara Hammond, which was, in his view, a lesson given to her.
Moreover, Theodore Lucas knew that the reason Tara Hammond caused the old lady’s death wasn’t for herself, but for him.
She feared that as long as the old lady lived for one more day, he would have no chance to return to the Lucas family.
Theodore Lucas couldn’t agree with Tara Hammond’s actions, but he wouldn’t hate her for it either.
Because he knew that everything this woman did was for him.
She was doing it for him, even at the cost of blood on her hands.
“Old Liam…” Theodore Lucas looked at Liam Holbrook, who was kneeling in a pool of blood, refusing to lift his head.
Liam Holbrook had once worked as his driver, and of course, Theodore knew that besides the stain of the bombings, Liam Holbrook had always been an honest man.
But now…
“These are all just your words. Without evidence, I can’t believe you. The one involved is my mother, and precisely because it’s my mother, I need to be cautious and objective. When my mother had the incident and even before that, Tara Hammond was always in B City. You say you saw her, where did this happen? How can you be sure that the person you saw was Tara Hammond? After five years, having only seen her once, how can you be certain you didn’t mistake her identity?”
“I…” Liam Holbrook suddenly lifted his head, feeling dizzy at once.
He held his forehead, looking at Theodore Lucas with disbelief.
Liam Holbrook had not expected Theodore Lucas to still defend that woman at such a mont.
Of course, he hadn’t mistaken; five years ago, outside the coffee shop at Skylong Square in A City, he saw this woman eting with a man who had a snake tattoo on his hand.
And that man was the one who had kidnapped his son and grandson, demanding money for their release.
Just as Liam Holbrook was about to explain, Theodore Lucas cut him off, “Enough, Old Liam, you don’t need to argue.”
“I actually investigated this matter back then, but because I hadn’t returned to the Lucas family, I had to keep silent.”
Theodore Lucas’s words were still blaming Aidan Lucas.
If it weren’t for Aidan Lucas refusing to let him return ho, this matter wouldn’t have dragged on to today.
After speaking, Theodore Lucas took out his cell phone, directly showing the saved pictures to Maxwell Lucas.
“Uncle, look… this is Liam Holbrook’s bank account. Before the incident, there were three transfers of two hundred thousand each from my mother’s account to his. I had long suspected this person. His son had a gambling addiction, owing high-interest loans, and thus he borrowed money from my mother to pay his debts.”
“But even after borrowing three tis, he was still heavily in debt. I speculate that Liam Holbrook must have been refused money by my mother, which led to a desire for revenge. As for his son and grandson, they were taken by the loan sharks.”
As early as five years ago, after discovering that Tara Hammond secretly hard the old lady, Theodore Lucas had made this preparation.
These financial accounts were not forged, of course.
Liam Holbrook had indeed borrowed money from the old lady at that ti, and his son was indeed addicted to gambling; otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted Tara Hammond’s money because his son and grandson were kidnapped, leaving him in huge debt.
It’s just that…
“No, it’s not like that… It was all a setup! The person who kidnapped my son and grandson, he has a snake tattoo, he knows Tara Hammond, they are in cahoots!”
“You… you’re lying!” Tara Hammond’s face changed; she hadn’t expected Liam Holbrook to shout out ‘snake tattoo’.
And on Theodore Lucas’s face, which held a firm expression, there appeared a barely perceptible crack upon hearing the words ‘snake tattoo’.
