Chapter 144
At Elysian House, in an opulent private room, Tara was sitting beside Odell, elegantly eating in small
bites when her phone suddenly vibrated.
She looked at it and then said to him excitedly, “Odell, my friend in the Art Association told me that I won
the bronze medal in this year’s art competition!”
The art competition that she had participated in was world-class, and the participating artists were all
famous painters from all over the country. She would have brought honor to her country by ranking in the
top ten, but she actually managed to clinch third place!
Although it was largely thanks to Odell’s help, she still could not help but be happy
She knew that with this award, her status in the art circle would go up a notch.
Odell nodded. “Not bad.”
Tara said, “Odell, the award ceremony has been brought forward to tomorrow afternoon. I heard that
Aquila and Jackson will be the ones handing out the awards. Also, it seems that the most mysterious

If Odell went with her, the two people who won the gold and silver awards would be no more eye-
catching than her.
Odell was silent. He was not interested in this kind of activity, but he remembered that his grandmother at
home liked Sunflower’s works,
Because of Sylvia’s appearance today, he was not in the mood to browse the paintings and had only
selected one of Sunflower’s works. If he could meet Sunflower in person, he could ask for an autograph
for his grandmother.
After a moment, he said, “Okay.”
Tara’s eyes instantly lit up. Then, she said, “I want to choose a dress tonight. Will you accompany me?”
Odell frowned
The two little runts at home were even more arrogant after not seeing Sylvia for a few days. Yesterday,
they even encouraged Madam Carter to kick him out of the house. He had to go back early to watch over
them.
“I’m not free tonight. Go by yourself.” Tara let out a disappointed ‘oh’ before saying, “Alright, I’ll go with
my friend.”
Odell picked up his phone again and casually transferred 450,000 to her.
Tara’s eyes lit up when she saw the notification, but she instantly wrinkled her brows and said, “Odell,
you don’t have to keep giving money. I don’t want to spend your money all the
time.”
“You’re my woman. It’s only natural for you to spend my money.”
After he spoke, he picked up the cutlery and continued to eat. Tara immediately smiled and said,
touched, “Thank you, Odell. You’re so good to me.” Odell’s eyes softened as he looked at her. “Dig in.”
“Mm.”
After dinner, he drove her back to Lake Victoria Villa and left. Tara did not rush out to buy a dress.
Instead, she opened a bottle of expensive red wine for herself and sat on the sofa to sip on it.

As she drank, she reminisced on her life over the years.
‘When I met Sylvia in my childhood hometown, she was the precious granddaughter of my grandparents
and the eldest lady of the influential Rosses. She was beautiful, smart, and clever. No matter where she
went, she was always the focus of the crowd.
‘I could only play second fiddle to her! I had to pretend to be close to her. Otherwise, I would never get to
know the rich folks through her.
‘Fortunately, Sylvia was a fool and thought that I was really close to her. She actually told me everything
about herself without any precautions.
“Then, I met Odell Carter, who was a perfect man that only seemed to appear in TV dramas He was
handsome, powerful, and the young master of the Carters, the most influential family in Westchester City.
‘Most importantly, he set his eyes on me! ‘Although I could only bear with it during the years he was
married to Sylvia, nothing is impossible for a willing heart. I finally waited until Odell took over Carter
Corporation. ‘He also divorced Sylvia because of me. Although Sylvia was lucky enough to give birth to
two children for him, Odell still only approves of me.
‘Since then, my career has been on the rise. I became famous in the art world. The upper echelon in
Westchester City who used to look down on me before now have to look up to me.’
