Chapter 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 stopped in front of her

and looked at her. “Do you want to regain your old life?” Tara’s eyes gleamed. Of 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.

Aglance 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.

“| want it! | want it!” Tara anxiously cried. She then asked, “What do you want me to do? What do | 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 that could easily push people away. He calmly said, “You

can say no to my offer and continue selling 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. | 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 | left

on the second morning. After that, | met him again after many years.” “Why after many years?” Tara gasped for air and

explained, “Because during that night, | don’t know his name and he doesn’t know who | 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 | saved him, he gave me a

sapphire ring. Some years later, | went to the wealthy district together with Sylvia. She’s one of my old friends. He coincidentally

saw the ring | wore during an event, so we recognized each other.”
