Chapter 1783: Chapter 1786: An Unexpected Decision
Winston spoke with a cold face, delivering a long string of words he had prepared earlier.
Lily, hiding in the next room watching the excitement, almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
The entire Reddington Group, who doesn’t know Winston as the cold-faced deity, resolving matters with a single word whenever possible, never using two if one would suffice.
This time, he spoke such a long piece in one breath, it completely broke his personal record.
With the Reddington Group stepping in, now aided by a crowd of ’righteous’ reporters making a fuss.
Mr. Cooper didn’t suffer much, giving bail at the police station before being sent home.
As for Tara Hammond, she was more unfortunate.
Before getting on the ambulance, some meddling reporter tore off the bandage on the right side of her face.
The camera exposed the butchered flesh and the knife scar across her eye.
In an instant, Tara was completely in the spotlight.
By the time Evelyn Lucas and Robbie Bright got the notification, Tara had already been sent to the hospital, fighting for her life on the operating table.
"How is she, how is my wife?"
Robbie Bright and Evelyn Lucas rushed to the hospital but couldn’t find Tara, compelled to shout at the medical staff at the nurse station.
This is a regular downtown hospital, bustling with people, footsteps barely apart.
Robbie Bright and Evelyn Lucas’s yelling immediately attracted attention.
The nurse disliked Robbie Bright’s attitude but still patiently asked, "What’s your wife’s name?"
Without thinking, Robbie Bright hurriedly replied, "Tara Hammond, my wife is Tara Hammond, where is she?"
"Wow, so this guy is really the lover of the ’most despicable number three in the universe’!"
"Absolutely shameless, with a married man and married woman all tangled in an affair."
"Tsk, this is shameful. Did you see? Online exposé says the girl next to him is his illegitimate child from an affair with someone else’s wife."
"Their illegitimate daughter is already this old, yet he still dared to deceive young girls into marriage?"
"Such a century’s scumbag is capable of anything, as per the internet, they are a perfect match - the man a scumbag, the woman a lowlife - wishing to rid society of their menace. Sadly, two good families suffered because of them, pity for the former Prime Minister and that young girl..."
Those words floated one by one into Robbie Bright and Evelyn Lucas’s ears.
Robbie Bright could bear it no more, raising his hand heavily on the nurse’s desk.
"Shut up! If anyone dares to say another word, be careful I send someone to tear your mouths apart!"
Being born in A-level black forces, Robbie Bright wearing a stern face, glaring angrily, was enough to suppress these ordinary people.
The crowd shrank back, angry but not daring to speak.
Just now, the nurse found Tara Hammond’s room number.
After Robbie Bright made out the room number, he led Evelyn Lucas and the group of subordinates hurriedly away.
Only when they had gone afar did others breathe a sigh of relief.
"What kind of people, truly garbage!"
"Right, only flaunting their power here, during the afternoon’s press conference, where were they showing off."
"Expose, expose, quickly post it online, put everything this lover said on the web."
...
Meanwhile, Robbie Bright and Evelyn Lucas finally found Tara Hammond’s ward.
Robbie Bright was about to enter when Evelyn Lucas suddenly grabbed him.
"Dad, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Evelyn Lucas clasped her hands together, seemingly struggling a bit.
"Dad, why did you marry that woman? I know you, such a little girl, at most, you’d just play for a while, it’s impossible to..."
Robbie Bright frowned, "Evelyn, dad never intended to keep that girl for long. Your mother hasn’t finalized the divorce certificate with Theodore Lucas, I just plan to stabilize that girl, and after the child is born, divorce."
Robbie Bright wasn’t lying, his initial thought indeed was like that, else he wouldn’t be so easily bound by Jeremy Cooper.
To him, a small girl like Jeremy Cooper posed no threat, ready to discard her at will.
Evelyn Lucas took a deep breath, finally steeling her resolve.
"Since it’s like that, dad, we should give up on mom. Her situation now... to both you and me, is a burden..."
