The next day, at the Carter residence.Tara arrived as usual.She was also carrying two delicate boxes.After entering the living room, she bumped into Sebastian and Aunt Tonya.She changed her expression and showed them a smile. "Sebastian and Aunt Tonya, good morning."Sebastian replied, "Hello, Ms. Avery."Aunt Tonya simply snorted coldly and turned her head to the side, pretending not to see her.Tara secretly cussed at the woman in her heart, but she walked up to Aunt Tonya with a smile on her face."Aunt Tonya, these are gifts that I picked out for Isabel and Liam. Could you please help me take it to their room?" She handed over the boxes to Aunt Tonya.Aunt Tonya's face instantly went cold. "Tara Avery, what kind of tone is that? Do you consider yourself the master here?"'How dare she directly order me to do something?'Does she think I'm too old and stupid to understand her meaning?'Tara immediately put on an innocent expression. "That's not what I meant, Aunt Ton
Odell looked at Aunt Tonya coldly.Aunt Tonya shrank back, but she still said indignantly, "She clearly meant something else. She just wants to take Syl's place as the mistress of this mansion!"He continued to look at her coldly. "Aunt Tonya, didn't Sylvia tell you that Tara is a very important person to me?"Aunt Tonya choked.Odell said, "I'll let you off for Sylvia's sake this time, but if it happens again, you won't have to stay here anymore."Aunt Tonya's eyes widened. She was so angry that she wanted to leave immediately.However, Isabel and Liam were still so young. If she left too, how would they fight back against Tara in the future?She forced herself to swallow her anger and said, "Understood."Only then did Odell's expression ease up a little.Then, he took Tara upstairs.Aunt Tonya stood where she was as she watched their intimate figures, wanting nothing more than to go up to them and tear them apart.Sebastian sighed beside her and said, "Don't look, Tonya."
Aunt Tonya instantly turned ashen with anger.Tara quickly took two steps back and said, "Don't be angry, Aunt Tonya. I'll leave right now."Aunt Tonya choked in place.When Tara saw her about to explode with anger, she could not help but laugh. Then, she turned around and walked out....That night, in Lush Heaven.After Sherry got the news, she hurriedly went to Sylvia's room and said, "Syl, the person who was sent to follow Tara said that she went to several bridal dress stores today. It seems that she wants to book a dress for an engagement.""Oh, okay."Sherry observed how Sylvia merely continued to carve the wooden block indifferently and could not help but say, "Odell is going to become engaged to her. Why are you so calm? Do you really want her to get her way and marry him?"Sylvia looked at her and asked, "Sherry, do you think Melanie will show up when they get engaged?"Sherry was stunned for a moment before she grinned in understanding. "Oh, so you want to use this
Passing by the garden, Tara noticed that Aunt Tonya was there.Aunt Tonya knew she was coming but since did not want to see her at all, she turned her back.Tara glanced at her coldly and headed straight for the living room.There were several young maids in the mansion. When they saw her coming, they gathered around to greet her."Good morning, Ms. Avery.""Ms. Avery, would you like some tea?""..."She turned around and sat on the sofa.A maid immediately poured her a glass of lemonade.Tara elegantly picked up the glass and took a sip, then said, "Call Violet.""Yes, Ms. Avery."A maid quickly went to Madam Carter's room and called Violet over.When Violet saw Tara acting like the mistress of the house, she lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Why did you call for me, Ms. Avery?"Tara looked at her arrogantly and asked, "How is Grandma's health these days?"Violet replied, "She's the same as before. All her indicators are normal.""Hm." Tara took a sip, paused
Aunt Tonya stood still and glared at Tara. "Unless I die, don't even think that you can make me leave."Tara snorted and looked at her contemptuously. "Then you'd better be more respectful to me in the future, or be prepared for your life to become uncomfortable."Aunt Tonya pursed her lips hard.Tara elegantly sat back on the sofa and ordered, "Come and pour me a cup of tea."Aunt Tonya endured her anger, swiftly stepped forward, and poured a cup of tea before placing it in front of Tara.Tara took a sip before suddenly throwing the teacup at Aunt Tonya's head.Thud!The teacup hit her head and fell to the ground, and the hot tea also flowed down her face.Tara screamed in anger, "How could you pour such hot tea for me? Are you trying to scald me?!"Aunt Tonya's eyes reddened in anger.The tea was indeed hot, but it was not to the point where it was undrinkable. Tara was doing it on purpose!However, when she thought of Isabel and Liam, she endured it.She poured another c
However, inside the Westchester Hotel, the atmosphere was the opposite of the weather outside.The lights were bright, and festive and romantic decorations were hanging everywhere.Expensive drinks had also been placed on the table.All the people in the hotel started to set up the venue early in the morning. Even the hotel manager himself was personally at the scene.Although it was just an engagement party, the main focus of the engagement was the master of the Carter family. Not a single mistake could be made.Soon, it was morning.The sky was still foggy and hazy.At that moment, various luxury cars drove to the hotel gates.Tara, being one of the main focus of the event, also arrived by car, accompanied by Melanie.They rode in a limited-edition platinum MPV.Before the car had even stopped, the hotel manager was waiting to greet them at the door with several waiters.They opened the car door respectfully.Melanie and Tara got out of the car.Melanie wore a red gown,
The middle-aged woman was dressed very luxuriously, but she had a face that looked mean and petty. She even resembled Tara in some places.However, she was Tara's aunt, so it was normal to have a few similarities.He greeted her politely. "Hello, Aunty."Melanie's eyes flickered as she answered, "Hello, hello."Odell did not say anything else and walked straight toward the stage.Tara quickly took his arm.The crowd also followed them and surged inside the venue.Melanie instantly let out a sigh of relief.Only God knew how nervous she had been when Odell had stared at her. She had thought that her heart was about to jump out!Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder.She shrieked in alarm and turned around to see an unfamiliar woman.The woman was decently dressed and it was clear that she was a guest at the engagement party. She smiled in a flattering way and said, "You're Ms. Avery's aunt, right? I'm from the Fowler family. My family has some business dealings with th
A staff member brought over a pair of engagement rings.The box containing the rings was opened, allowing the camera to pan over to the six-carat diamond-ring and display it on the large screen at the back. It immediately caused a huge stir.Not only was the diamond huge, the exquisite design made it clear at a glance that it had been designed by world-class masters.The women who were in attendance could not help but sigh in envy.Tara maintained her elegant posture as she listened to their envious voices.The host also smiled and said, "Master Carter, Ms. Avery, would you like to say anything to each other before exchanging rings?"Odell frowned.He had a meeting to attend this afternoon and just wanted to get the engagement process out of the way quickly.Tara saw the look in his eyes and immediately took the microphone, saying in a gentle voice, "Odell, I know you don't like sweet talk, but I would still like to say a few words to you."The atmosphere at the scene suddenly
