Chapter 505
Other than Edmund’s lackey, Tara was seeing three other men? Which made it four men at the same time?
Odell asked, “When is this?”
Edmund pondered for a minute and said, “Around five years ago.”
Five years ago? Odell’s expression fell. Edmund narrowed his eyes and continued, “I can’t just sit back and watch my lackey being cheated on by some woman, so I told him, but he didn’t believe me. I convinced him to catch her in the act and I guess he got so angry when he caught Tara sleeping with another man, so he beat the man to death.
“He’s still behind bars now and Tara left with all his money. Not even a penny was left for him, or his mother at home. My other lackeys and I wanted to teach her a lesson but she got lucky and found you, so the entire thing was forced to a halt.”
The night breeze blew and whirred.
The man in the car showed the grimmest expression to veil his true emotions. Edmund saw the look on his face. “Master Carter, this might be a long time ago but if you want to, you should be able to dig something out. My lackey’s name is Joshua Hamba and he’s locked up in Westchester Prison. You can ask your men to have a check.”
Edmund then left.
The black sports car remained parked on the spot for quite some time.
Sometime later, the man’s phone buzzed.
Odell put the phone next to his ears and asked, “Did you get it?”
Cliff reported what he found out.
He leaned on the seat and shut his eyes with the grimmest look on his face.
Five years ago, he just regained control over his company and Sylvia got pregnant. He was happy. Although he still thought of Tara back then and hated the things Sylvia did to marry him, he did not want his feet on two boats. He thought that once the company had settled down, he would make up to Tara. However, a few nights after he made up his mind, he slept with Tara. On the second day, Tara cried and complained to him it was her first time. She even said he did not need to bear the responsibility and as long as she could be with him, she would do anything.
He had nothing but guilt and it got more difficult to push her away. Sometime after that night, Tara got pregnant.
He gave her the house at Lake Victoria and told her to rest there.
A few days later, Sylvia pushed her down the stairs. She had a miscarriage and could never be pregnant again.
Sylvia never admitted that she pushed Tara down the stairs and even claimed that Tara fell down on her own just to frame her. Not only did Tara accept the cruel fate, but she also defended Sylvia and pitied her as a fellow pregnant mother. She said Sylvia was his legitimate wife, so she had to endure it no matter what.
