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 ce. 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 be engaged to her. Why are you so cal?? Do you really want her to get
her way and marry him?” Sylvia looked at her and asked, “Sherry, do you think Mnie 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 method to lure Mnie out.”

At Lake Victoria Vi.
Tara just returned here by car. Alter entering her cloakroom, she went to look at her jewelry. Whether it
was a diamond ne or a jeweled bracelet, each and every one of them was very expensive. All of
them had been gifted by Odell or bought using the allowance that he had given her. However, she had
already worn all of these pieces. It would be better to wear a new one during the engagement party. She
quickly dismissed the idea of picking out any jewelry for the engagement party from this selection.
Instead, she called the maids to draw a bath and give her a massage to help her rx and unwind.
She wasfortably soaking in the bathtub when her cell phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she shot a
nce at the maid. The maid immediately understood and left the room.
Tara answered the phone. On the other end, Mnie asked the usual question. “Tara, how has your
progress with Odell in the past few days been like?”
The corners of Tara’s mouth curled up and said, “Odell has agreed to marry me. We’re getting engaged
on the 28th of this month.”
“Really?!” Mnie raised her voice in excitement.
“Of course. The venue has already been set, and the ring has been chosen.” It was a six-carat diamond
ring. Mnie asked happily, “Where’s the venue?”
“Westchester Hotel.”
“So… May I go?” Mnie asked.
Tara frowned.
She did not want Mnie toe to Westchester City, and she especially did not want her to appear in
front of Odell’s eyes.
However, she liad been introduced to Odell as her aunt before. He had even mentioned her that day and
asked her to invite Mnie over.
Tara pondered for a few seconds before replying, “Sure, but you’ll have to leave the same day.”
She could not let her mother stay. It would be bad if Odell noticed something.
Mnie quickly responded, “Yes, I know.” She had never been to Westchester Hotel before in her entire
life. Furthermore, this time, she would be going to the engagement party between her daughter and the
master of the most powerful family in Westchester City. Her old friends would surely die of jealousy just
from looking at the pictures!
A few dayster, at the Carter residence.
The news that Odell would be getting engaged to Tara had spread all over.
Aunt Tonya was so angry that she lost her appetite to eat for two days. However, when she saw Isabel
and Liam’s tiny appearances, she forced herself to eat.
That morning
Isabel and Liam went to school. After Aunt Tonya had sent them to preschool, she came back to help
trim the garden. At that moment, Tara walked in through the door.
She wore a beautiful dress and looked as if she was full of spring energy. It was obviously different from
the weak and fragile look that she was used to showing when she came over. Sebastian’s eyes slickered
as he took the initiative to greet her. “Good morning, Ms. Avery.”
Tara hummed in reply and continued to walk inside.
