Chapter 1715: Chapter 1718: Tara Hammond Never Was Pregnant, Her Belly Was Fake (1)
Snake tattoo…
Theodore Lucas knew soone who happened to have a snake tattoo on their arm.
Robbie Bright, the Underworld King of B City, had been acquainted with Theodore Lucas ever since he rose to prominence.
The two of them interacted frequently, and Robbie Bright had even visited the Lucas family several tis, eting Tara Hammond, Nolan Lucas, and Evelyn Lucas.
Robbie Bright and Theodore Lucas hit it off remarkably well; Robbie used his influence to help Theodore reach the top, while Theodore leveraged his standing in the political sector to clear obstacles for Robbie.
But as for Robbie Bright and Tara Hammond, their relationship was at best a few casual als shared in passing.
Tara Hammond had barely even spoken to Robbie Bright—how could she possibly entrust soone like Robbie Bright with the critical matter of controlling Liam Holbrook?
“Tara, is what Old Liam said true?” Theodore Lucas turned to look at Tara Hammond, his expression of firm trust monts ago now replaced by suspicion.
“Of course not. You know that when the old lady passed away five years ago, I wasn’t even in A City,” Tara Hammond said loudly, intending to clear herself of any association.
But the next line was spoken deliberately for Theodore Lucas to hear: “And about that person with the snake tattoo—you know… I don’t have any ties to people with snake tattoos. I think Old Liam was deliberately planted by soone to fra , to sow discord between us… Theodore, this is soone afraid of losing the head of the family position who’s trying everything to stop you from returning to the Lucas family! You need to stay clearheaded!”
Tara Hammond’s words sparked a realization in Theodore Lucas.
Indeed, Tara Hammond had no connection with Robbie Bright, but his relationship with Robbie Bright was no secret in B City.
If soone were deliberately investigating this to alienate him from Tara Hammond and then scapegoating Robbie Bright, it would an cutting off both his trusted allies at once.
Theodore Lucas suddenly raised his head and looked toward Aidan Lucas, who was standing in the middle of the corridor.
His dark eyes narrowed and clouded over, a deep well of hatred flashing within.
“Aidan Lucas… You’ve sunk so low!” Theodore Lucas snarled, making no effort to conceal his disgust toward Aidan. “Had I known it would co to this, I should’ve had you killed when you were still in that slut’s belly!”
Without Aidan Lucas, none of the troubles that followed would have happened.
If Emily Taylor couldn’t bear an heir, Mr. Lucas would have had no choice but to bring Nolan Lucas back into the family.
The thought deepened Theodore Lucas’s resentnt toward Aidan Lucas.
Looking at Liam Holbrook, he couldn’t see him as anything other than Aidan Lucas’s lackey; he didn’t believe a single word Liam had said.
“Ha…” Mr. Lucas curled his lips, letting out a cold laugh.
As he looked at Theodore Lucas, his gaze was icy, bordering on apathetic. “Do you think I ever wanted to be your son? Theodore Lucas, from start to finish, I’ve despised you. You’re unworthy—not as a son, not as a husband, and definitely not as a father.”
“You… you wretched scum, what did you just say?” Theodore Lucas roared in fury, raising his cane threateningly.
If not for Aidan Lucas’s chilling, commanding aura, Theodore would’ve rushed over to beat this ungrateful child within an inch of his life.
“I was only stating facts. A man as pathetic as you? You’re the first of your kind I’ve ever encountered. Falling for a mistress’s crocodile tears and feigned innocence—you have no qualifications to manage the Lucas family.”
“Ha… Ha-ha-ha…” Theodore Lucas, still enraged a mont ago, suddenly pointed at Aidan Lucas and burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, I get it, I get it… You’re jealous, jealous!”
“You’re jealous that I am set to inherit the head of the family position, and you hate that I’ve taken your place… Ha-ha-ha, Aidan Lucas… So, even you have your turn of misfortune. Ha-ha-ha…”
Theodore Lucas laughed wildly, believing that his laughter itself could provoke Aidan Lucas.
Unexpectedly, Aidan Lucas wasn’t fazed in the slightest.
His gaze toward Theodore Lucas brimd with contempt, as though he were looking at a fool beyond redemption.
