NovelEnglishChapter 573
At midnight, the New Year arrived with a bang
At Lake Victoria Villa, where Tara lived, the house was in total darkness except for a lamp in the living
room.
The dim light revealed the messy interior
Other than the necessary furniture, all the branded and luxurious items were gone.
Tara wore her newly bought coat and was drinking on the couch.
Then, a series of footsteps came from outside the door.
Tara turned around and saw a tall figure and a handsome, but cold, face.
She felt like she saw the man before but the frosty eyes made her shy away.
Tara nervously looked away and cautiously asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here?” Thomas

course, she wanted her old life back. After cutting ties with Odell, all she wished for was to return to her
extravagant and lavish life.
Although she was still able to fill her stomach and wear new clothes, almost all the expensive furniture
and items were sold off to fuel her lavish addiction. If she could not come up with a way to regain what
she lost, she would eventually end up as everyone else, living a normal life.
A glance at the man told her that he was not just any John Doe. The cold presence that he emanated
was bone-chilling Some thoughts later, she asked in a small voice, “Can you help me to regain my old
life back?” “I can, as long as you wish for it.” Thomas looked at her coldly.
“I want it! I want it!” Tara anxiously cried. She then asked, “What do you want me to do? What do I need
to do to regain my old life back? I’ll do anything!”
Thomas peered down at her anxiety. A few seconds of silence later, he said, “I can help you to get back
to Odell’s side, as long as you work with me.”
Tara’s eyes were of hope but she recalled the resolve and the frostiness Odell showed when he cut ties
with her, and it made her eyes shrink in fear. She said in a small voice, “But Odell has cut all ties with
me. Can you really bring me back to his side?”
Thomas sized her up from top to bottom. She was neither ugly nor outstanding, just a material woman
who would give up her body in a heartbeat to gain wealth. She was probably the cheapest and lowest
woman there was.
If without any special reasons, his brother would not be fixated on her for so long “First, you need to tell
me how you met Odell back then and why he’s so infatuated with you.”
Tara’s eyes shifted. She continued in a small voice, “Why do you want to know?”
“To help you, of course.” A few seconds of hesitation later, she asked again, “Why are you helping
me?” Thomas stood there with a frosty look. His noble demeanor emanated a distant and cold feeling

your things to keep your lavish and extravagant life.” Tara’s eyes shrunk in fear. She could not let it
continue as she refused to live normally. She wanted to wear branded clothes and eat expensive food!
She could not be outshone by her friends! Soon, she made up her mind and said, “I met Odell many
years ago on a rainy night. I was still young and Odell was just a teenager. Because of his
stepmother’s schemes, he almost got beaten to death…”
Tara choked on her words. She took a deep breath and continued, “I saved him and accompanied him
in an alleyway, but I left on the second morning. After that, I met him again after many years.” “Why
after many years?” Tara gasped for air and explained, “Because during that night, I don’t know his
name and he doesn’t know who I am. We didn’t even see each other’s faces clearly.” “How did you
recognize him after that?” Tara lowered her head and said, “After I saved him, he gave me a sapphire
ring. Some years later, I went to the wealthy district together with Sylvia. She’s one of my old friends.
He coincidentally saw the ring I wore during an event, so we recognized each other.”
