Chapter 1770: Chapter 1773: Bitch, how dare you compete with me, Tara Hammond, for my husband!
Jeremy Cooper, although a mistress, is a well-known figure in the Chinese Department at B University.
She is famous not only because she is the departmental beauty but also because her writing is excellent, having published several collections outside school.
Today is the centennial anniversary celebration of B University.
For this event, B University invited famous alumni who graduated from B University in the past decades, and even Mr. Frank Chamberlain was invited to participate.
Originally, as the Speaker, Mr. Lucas would not attend.
But five days ago, he suddenly changed his mind.
On the morning of the anniversary, Tara Hammond personally prepared freshly ironed clothes for Robbie Bright.
She then personally helped him with his tie and personally saw him off in the car.
"Mom, be careful at home by yourself, leave everything to the servant if anything happens. I’m heading out too, or else Frank won’t be able to wait."
Evelyn Lucas said goodbye to Tara Hammond at the door, then got into the luxury car sent by Frank Chamberlain to pick her up.
Tara Hammond watched her husband and daughter leave, lightly touching her bandaged right cheek, then bowed her head and walked back into the villa.
Ordinarily, she would have accompanied Robbie Bright to the event.
But today...
Thinking about her husband’s frequent absent-mindedness these days, Tara Hammond’s unease became increasingly apparent.
No, she couldn’t continue pretending nothing happened.
Tara Hammond decided to have her staff investigate the woman outside with Robbie Bright later.
Just as she was thinking this, the cell phone in her hand suddenly vibrated a few times.
Tara Hammond picked up the phone, took one look, and her left eye showed an expression of rage.
"Bitch, how dare she fight me, Tara Hammond, for my husband!"
Tara Hammond lowered her face and immediately summoned her subordinates, mobilizing over twenty people to rush toward B University.

At this moment in B University, the celebration was at its peak.
As a guest of honor, Aidan Lucas brought Lily, finding the most comfortable corner to leisurely prepare to enjoy the drama about to unfold.
"Everyone either goes up to speak or to present awards. You’re the guest, not showing up at all, isn’t it a bit inappropriate?"
Lily watched Frank Chamberlain go up and give his speech and saw several other important figures present awards.
But Aidan Lucas, after arriving, kept her secluded in the corner.
He seemed to have no intention of going on stage.
"Of course not." Mr. Lucas, unconcerned, kept Lily in his embrace, with no hint of wanting to get up.
"Mrs. Lucas came to support them even though she’s heavily pregnant; who dares to have an issue?"
The man’s voice carried a hint of jealousy, seeming slightly displeased.
Lily knew that someone was unhappy.
She took the initiative to hug Aidan Lucas’ neck, rubbing against his shoulder, "Mr. Lucas, don’t be upset, okay? I know you didn’t want me to come, but I really wanted to see the good show you mentioned. I promise I’ll stay obediently by your side and won’t go anywhere."
Lily hugged Aidan Lucas, taking the initiative to kiss him and cuddle him.
After sweet-talking him thoroughly, it finally softened the man’s slightly displeased expression.
"If you behave, you can stay. Otherwise..." A moment later, Mr. Lucas spoke coldly.
"Oh, I knew my husband is the best husband in the world!" Mrs. Lucas didn’t need to rehearse to say these flattering words.
Following behind them, Sebastian Lucas VII and Benjamin Lucas IX felt like they were being force-fed affection.
Mr. Lucas rubbed the woman’s head, enjoying the compliments and gestures of affection.
He wouldn’t tell Lily that even if she didn’t pout or plead, he would still have brought her here.
In fact, five days ago, he had already sent Sebastian Lucas VII and Benjamin Lucas IX to investigate the venue.
Because he knew back then.
Lily definitely wanted to witness Tara Hammond’s embarrassment firsthand.
"Okay, stop flattering me. Robbie Bright is going up to present an award, look..."
Mr. Lucas lifted his chin, pointing toward the award stage.
Lily followed his gaze and saw Robbie Bright taking the trophy from Event Hostess A.
Standing in front of him was the most beautiful and glamorous departmental beauty of B University’s Chinese Department—Jeremy Cooper.
