Chapter 1788: Chapter 1791 Tara Hammond Could Never Commit Suicide
Immediately, the TV station exposed the contents of the suicide note on the program.
‘I deeply regret the mistakes I have made, and I regret destroying other people’s families. I admit, I was the one clinging to Robbie; he tried to break up with me several times, but I used the threat of suicide to keep him from leaving.’
‘Then there’s my daughter, Evelyn. She countless times advised me not to go down the wrong path, urged me to turn back. It was I who became deluded and didn’t listen to her. Her birth was not her choice, and I gave her such a disgraceful identity. I made her an illegitimate daughter, unable to hold her head high, yet Evelyn never blamed me. She is optimistic, cheerful, and kind-hearted.’
‘I have let her down, and I have let down this world… I no longer have the courage to face the mistakes I’ve made. I can only atone with death…’
The image of the suicide note remained on television, as the host recited Tara Hammond’s last words in this world with a sorrowful and mournful tone.
Eastonians are always kind and forgetful.
At any time, they always respect the dead and are unwilling to harshly criticize.
Before today, there were countless online criticisms, curses, and even hostility towards Tara Hammond.
But today, when news of Tara Hammond’s death spread, along with that suicide note filled with atonement and motherly love being exposed.
All the online condemnations and criticisms against Tara Hammond turned into mourning words like ‘Respect the dead’ and ‘May the deceased rest in peace and be laid to rest.’
Turning off the television, Emily Taylor, who had been devoted to peace and meditating for a while, showed a rare expression of agitation for the first time in these two months.
“No, no way… Tara Hammond, a person so selfish and eager to seize everything, how could she be willing to commit suicide? I don’t believe it. I don’t believe she would do such a thing. Ethan, Lily, there must be something false about Tara Hammond’s death… I suspect she is faking her death!”
The person who knows someone best might indeed be their enemy.
Tara Hammond and Emily Taylor had been rivals for decades, and upon hearing the news of Tara Hammond’s death, Emily was the first to have doubts.
Only, she guessed half correctly, thinking Tara was faking her death.
Because in Emily Taylor’s mindset, she could never imagine that Tara Hammond’s death was orchestrated by her own flesh and blood.
Upon hearing Emily’s words, Lily and Aidan Lucas exchanged a glance.
They saw the same suspicion in each other’s eyes.
The suicide note made them both think of one person.
Rowena Gray, Tara Hammond…
In that instant, these two selfish and ruthless women, yet equally forgiving of their biological daughters, seemed to merge into one.
Unwilling to let Emily dwell on it, Aidan Lucas reassured her, “Mom, whether this matter is true or false, I will send someone to investigate. Don’t overthink it; we’ll know later.”
“Alright, then I’ll wait for the results. Alive, we need to see the person; dead, we need to see the body. Without seeing Tara Hammond’s corpse, I will never believe she really died just like that.”
Tara Hammond was the person Emily Taylor resented most deeply in this lifetime.
Even while devoted to peace and meditation, she remained the biggest demon in Emily Taylor’s heart.
Half a day later, Sebastian Lucas VII brought back the definite result.
Tara Hammond was indeed dead, having committed suicide by slitting her wrists. Her body is still lying in the hospital morgue.
“There are many reporters on the scene, and both Evelyn Lucas and Robbie Bright were there. Robbie Bright spoke a lot of words of self-blame to the camera, whilst Evelyn Lucas even fainted directly from crying…”
After hearing Sebastian’s report, Emily Taylor finally felt the stone that had been hanging in her heart fall to the ground.
She clutched her prayer beads and said, ‘Namaste.’
Then she stood up, her eyes looking somewhat dazed.
“Mom?” Lily was concerned for her.
“I’m fine… Let me have some time alone. I’m returning to my room, don’t call me for dinner.”
Emily said, and then left on her own.
The biggest and most hated enemy in her life was gone just like that.
This result was too sudden and difficult for her to accept.
She needed some time to digest it herself.
No sooner had Emily left than Sebastian immediately reported, “Mr. Lucas, there’s something I didn’t mention earlier while Madam was here. I encountered someone at the hospital entrance who wanted me to tell you all that Tara Hammond could not possibly have committed suicide.”
