Chapter 1588: Chapter 1591: The Secret of Tara Hammond Recorded by the Listening Device

Theodore Lucas was called out of the study room by his subordinate halfway through.

As soon as he left, Tara Hammond immediately grasped Nolan Lucas and instructed sternly: "Nolan, you must not lay a finger on Milly Gray!"

"That woman is all chest and no brains, with nothing to offer but her figure. Tania Scott is carrying your son, and you must ensure the safety of this child no matter what, understand!?"

Tara didn’t care about Tania Scott; what she cared about was the son in Tania’s womb.

With the birth of this child, the only aspect where Nolan Lucas was inferior to Aidan Lucas could be compensated for.

"Mom knows you don’t care for Tania Scott, but after all, she is Larry Scott’s daughter. In terms of status, though not as good as the Reddington family, Larry Scott is still a person of actual power. Let’s secure Tania Scott first, wait for the child to be born, and if a better candidate appears in the future, then we can consider doing away with her."

Tara’s tone was indifferent, as if the act of killing someone was a trifling matter for her.

Hearing the words "Reddington family," Nolan Lucas, for some reason, pictured the stunning face of Mrs. Reddington before his eyes.

He quickly suppressed the odd thoughts in his mind.

Nolan Lucas seriously said, "Mom, rest assured, I have kept all your words in mind."

"It’s for the best if you truly remember them."

Tara curved her lips, with a shallow smile in her eyes but a chilling gaze, "Just like the listening device incident. Milly Gray obviously did a poor job. Dad got angry with her, so why did you plead on her behalf?"

"Nolan... such actions are very disappointing to mom."

She had heard everything outside the study room.

"Mom, I...I wasn’t really pleading for her. I just thought that what she said was right too. Sometimes it’s better to leave things as they are. That listening device has been hidden inside the robot and never found, I think..."

"Foolish!" Tara Hammond interrupted with a cold laugh, "Have you forgotten the reason I secretly told you that we must retrieve the listening device? There’s a part of a recording of a conversation between me and Evelyn Lucas on that device!"

After listening to Tara’s words, Nolan Lucas suddenly remembered the instructions she had given to him.

That’s right.

A few days ago, Tara sought him out, and when she told him to find a way to retrieve the Transformers model, she mentioned it.

Inside the chip of the listening device hidden in that Transformers model, there was not only a recording related to Aidan Lucas’s illness but also a recording of a conversation between Tara Hammond and Evelyn Lucas.

...

The listening device was prepared by Simon Taylor at Evelyn Lucas’s request.

Once Simon Taylor had it ready, he brought the Transformers model to Evelyn Lucas for examination.

Just at that moment, Tara Hammond knocked on the door and entered the study room.

Not daring to eavesdrop on their private conversation, Simon withdrew.

However, he forgot to take the Transformers model with him.

And the listening device, already set to record, was placed in the chest of the robot.

Consequently, a snippet of the conversation between Evelyn Lucas and her mother was recorded into the device.

Later, when they began monitoring the Lucas family’s situation, they inadvertently heard that conversation from the pre-recorded audio files.

"When Evelyn and I discovered it, the listening device was already placed inside the Lucas family home... the recordings we held were certainly deleted, but the ones in the Lucas family’s device were still there."

Worried about the content of that recording, Tara Hammond was quite anxious.

The reason she asked Nolan Lucas to retrieve the chip from the listening device, claiming it was to destroy evidence, was actually all because of that recording.

The words she spoke in the recording were cryptic and she wasn’t afraid of the Lucas family hearing them.

But Tara Hammond was a cautious person by nature; she always feared that Theodore Lucas might end up hearing that recording.

While others might not discern anything amiss from those words, Theodore might become suspicious if he heard them.
