Chapter 483
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

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 became quiet, and everyone silently looked at Odell and Tara
who were on the stage.
Giving him a look of great affection, Tara continued. “Thank you for your care and love for me. Thank
you for not leaving me all these years. I’m willing to chase after you forever and
accompany you for the rest of my life I’ll be a good fiance to you.”
At the end, her eyes reddened as her voice choked up. Odell’s eyes deepened. The scene from the
night of his first encounter with her slashed through his mind. This woman was the light that illuminated
his dark life. She was the person he had promised to take care of for the rest of his life. He reached out
and took her into his arms, pressing a kiss on her forehead. He said softly, “I also want to thank you for
staying by my side.”
The corners of Tara’s mouth instantly listed in happiness.
A burst of applause erupted from the guests sitting below the stage, along with the envious voices of
the women. Everyone, except for Sylvia, who was sitting in the corner.
Through her sunglasses, her eyes looked at the intimate figures of the man and woman on the stage.
She looked at the diamond ring displayed on the large screen behind them and could not help the
corners of her lips from curling up in a cold smile. It was just an engagement ceremony, yet the venue
had been decorated as if it were a wedding.
The luxuriousness of the engagement ring was also not of the ordinary kind. Sylvia thought of the two
marriages she had with him. They had not even had a wedding ceremony, let alone wedding rings. The
contrast was really too much of a mockery.

start?” Sylvia tapped on the phone screen and replied, “Yeah, let’s start.”
On the stage, Odell and Tara quickly separated.
The host smiled and said, “The feelings that Master Carter and Ms. Avery have for each other are truly
touching. Now, for the moment we’ve all been waiting for, let us ask the couple to exchange their rings
with each other!” A romantic piano piece began to play. Tara gazed softly at Odell. The man’s strong
figure and handsome face was right in front of her eyes. Although his expression was a little cold, his
body was shrouded with a noble and elegant aura that many men were unable to reach, he was still the
best in both status and appearance. He was the perfect man that countless women dreamed of.
At that moment, he was in front of her eyes, about to become her fiance.
She was about to become the most noble woman in Westchester City. Other women could do nothing
but envy her!
Soon, Odell raised his hand and picked the diamond ring up from the box. Tara lifted her left hand. He
held her palm with one hand and the ring with the other, intending on sliding the ring onto her middle
finger. However, just as the ring was about to touch her fingertip, a ‘click’ suddenly sounded. All the
lights went out, and the entire venue was instantly plunged into darkness.
