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.
“Yes, sir. There’s a prisoner named Joshua Hamba in Westchester Prison and he was arrested five
years ago for accidental manslaughter. It was reported that his girlfriend cheated on him and he caught
her in the act. He got so angry that he beat the man to death on the spot.”
“Who’s his girlfriend?”
Cliff inhaled deeply and said, “I’ve sent one of our men to Joshua’s mother to ask for the name and the
lady said the girlfriend’s name was Avery. Tara Avery.”
Odell pursed his lips tightly and coldly.
Cliff continued in a small voice, “Sir, Joshua’s mother kept his phone at home and our men checked it
and found the picture of him and his girlfriend. I saw it myself and it’s really Ms. Avery. Do you need
to… see it for yourself?”
“It’s fine.”
Odell then hung up the phone and tossed it aside.
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.
