Chapter 1684
Harold’s head bobbed with evident satisfaction, relief washing over his weathered face. “That brings such peace to my heart. Knowing you’ve found happiness means both Norma and I can feel reassured.”
When Belinda spoke of Lucas, the joy and affection that radiated from her expression were genuine. Harold knew their bond was truly strong. s ? ?s find?novel.net
After talking for a while longer, they made their way back toward the house.
In Tamara’s room.
“Tasha, please make yourself comfortable,” Tamara said, her hand gesturing toward the plush sofa in a welcoming manner.
After settling into the cushions, Tasha leaned forward with curiosity. “Mrs. Wright, what’s going on? Is there something you want to say to me?”
Tamara’s gaze locked onto Tasha, her composure steady. “Tasha, you know about Elwood’s botched hypnosis session, don’t you? Afterward, his psychologist revealed something troubling—his assistant deliberately sabotaged the entire procedure. This betrayal happened because someone slipped her five hundred thousand dollars to ensure the session failed.”
Tamara let silence stretch between them…
Tamara let the silence linger between them, her gaze never wavering from Tasha’s face. “Would you care to shed some light on this situation?”
The directness of Tamara’s words caught Tasha completely off guard. The implication was clear—Tamara suspected her to be the culprit.
Tasha felt her heart race in panic. She swallowed hard and managed to say, “Mrs. Wright, I don’t understand what you are talking about. Are you actually suggesting that I orchestrated this sabotage?”
“Yes,” Tamara declared with brutal honesty.
Only a few people knew about Elwood’s hypnosis. And only Tasha had a motive, as she didn’t want Elwood to regain his memories of Carola. Furthermore, beyond Tamara herself, Nalani, and Dr. Brooks, no one else understood that the hypnosis aimed to bury Elwood’s memories rather than resurrect them.

Both Elwood and Zaria had believed the treatment would help Elwood reclaim lost fragments of his past. Elwood clearly couldn’t have sabotaged the session. As for Zaria, she remained completely ignorant of Carola’s romantic history with Elwood, which eliminated any motive for interference.
After crossing out every unlikely suspect, only one person emerged with both opportunity and motivation—Tasha.
Tamara spoke again. “While concrete evidence continues to elude my grasp, I don’t think I need to dig into this. What do you think, Tasha?”
Her gaze maintained its unwavering focus on Tasha’s face.
Tasha sat frozen, her mind churning through a labyrinth of conflicting thoughts.
She wrestled with the weight of whether she should reveal the truth to Tamara. The silence stretched between them for a long time until Tasha finally spoke.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Wright. I was indeed the one who did that. I bribed Elwood’s psychologist’s assistant to ruin the hypnosis session.”
