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
Before anyone could react, the sound of the piano changed into something else.It was the sound of the wind, and the gushing of a river.Whistling and splashing sounds intermingled with one another, sounding very bizarre.Not only that, a cold wind suddenly blew in from somewhere as well. The gusts howled, so strong that it could blow the hats off people's heads.Some women immediately screamed in fear.A man shouted, "What is this? Are we encountering a ghost?""..."The crowd in the guest seats became agitated.On the stage, Tara was so frightened that she hid behind Odell, clutching his clothes in a death grip.That was because the sound of the wind and water sounded especially like the night she had pushed Sylvia into Cloudy Heart Lake!Was Sylvia's ghost coming for her?No, there was no such thing as ghosts in this world. Someone had to be playing a trick!However, who would dare to go against Odell here in Westchester City?Was it really a ghost?'The more that Tara
Odell's expression changed as he yelled, "Get out of the way!"The bodyguards did not move.He clenched his fists."You guys can move away now," Sylvia said.The bodyguards parted to stand on both sides.Odell immediately went up to her and stared intently at her with his dark eyes.Sylvia smiled coldly. "Are you very disappointed to see me alive, Odell?"Ignoring her words, he immediately pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.He used so much strength that it was as if he was trying to absorb her into his body.Sylvia frowned and lifted her foot to stomp hard on his toes.However, he did not let go of her, as if he did not feel the pain.She said, "Let me go.""Tell me that this isn't a dream," he said hoarsely.Sylvia raised her foot and stomped on him again.He did not let go even though she continued to kick him.After some time had passed, he finally let her go, just as she tired of kicking him. However, he continued to clutch her hand tightly.Sylvia res
