Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Lily Ward had never experienced such cold treatment before. She used to be a rising star in the medical field, but compared to Tina, she felt like a chicken facing a phoenix, not even worthy of a single strand of Tina’s hair.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s not what I meant, I just…”

Lily Ward wanted to defend herself, but Tina didn’t give her the chance. “Miss Ward, didn’t you ask me for advice and insights?”

“Just now, I listened to your paper. Didn’t you realize that your new theory is wrong?”

Lily Ward’s eyes widened as she stared at Tina beside her. She wanted nothing more than to tear that mouth of hers apart. Her theory was wrong?! What a joke! Even if she were Laura, so what? Does that mean she can intentionally spread false information and discredit her paper? Her research findings were recognized by industry professionals and even received awards as soon as they were published.

“Miss Reed,” William Johnson respectfully inquired, “where exactly is the problem with Miss Ward’s paper?”

Tina casually replied, “The experimental data was affected by environmental factors. Temperature and humidity are both important reference factors. Miss Ward only focused on temperature during the experiment and neglected the fact that the recent weather has been hot and humid, causing deviations from the set data.”

She looked at Lily Ward, whose face was turning pale, and sneered, “If I’m not mistaken, Miss Ward’s variables were also flawed, right?”

Even someone who wasn’t an expert would know that conducting experiments under such conditions would inevitably result in inaccurate data. She pointed out several flaws that even the professors and researchers present hadn’t noticed, immediately causing everyone to express their admiration.

“No wonder you’re Laura. You immediately spotted the problem. I won’t be able to reach this level even if I study for another twenty years!”

“I’m glad I attended this research meeting today. Otherwise, I would regret it!”

William Johnson nodded repeatedly as he listened and then turned to Lily Ward, whose face was turning iron-gray. “Miss Ward, there will always be someone better than you. Miss Reed’s abilities far surpass yours. It’s ridiculous for you to doubt her knowledge.”

Lily Ward felt like she had lost all face. She wished she could dig a hole right there and disappear forever. She was a renowned medical doctor and a pride of the Ward family. But in front of Tina, her knowledge and reputation meant nothing. It was like a snowflake disappearing when it touched the sun.

“Miss Reed, may I have a moment of your time?”

“Miss Reed, could you please take a look at my paper? It won’t take much of your time!”

No one paid any attention to Lily Ward anymore. Instead, they surrounded Tina, eager to receive even a bit of guidance from her.

“Sorry, I’m currently busy.” Tina said and walked away.

As Lily Ward watched her leave, her gaze became increasingly malicious. Why did Tina effortlessly steal away the recognition that belonged to her? Even Jared Farrell’s attention remained focused on Tina. All the glory and admiration went to her while Lily Ward was completely ignored.

Lily Ward had never felt so defeated before. She clenched her teeth and burned with hatred. She wouldn’t lose to Tina! She would make Tina understand that there could only be one legend in the medical field, and only she, Lily Ward, was worthy of Jared Farrell’s attention. If Tina tried to stop her, she would kick away this stumbling block and destroy it completely!

The medical research meeting hadn’t ended yet when Tina left first and returned home to the Reed family.

“Tina!”

As soon as she arrived home, Juliet Reed caught her in the living room doing nothing and eagerly pulled her into the room.

“I was suffocating without you here! You have no idea how bored I am!”

Since their encounter late at night last time, Juliet Reed had become very familiar with Tina and treated her like a friend. Juliet Reed rarely stayed at home due to her busy work schedule, but during this break period, she frequently appeared.

Unfortunately, Luna kept a close eye on her and didn’t let her wander around freely. Juliet Reed spent all day at home feeling like she was going crazy.

Juliet Reed lay down on the soft bed and propped up her chin as she asked Tina sitting beside her, “Tina, how did you like the photos I gave you? If you liked them, I still have a bunch more!”

“Good things should be shared with everyone. Don’t worry; I can keep secrets.”

Tina sat in her room without feeling constrained and lazily replied, “They were alright.”

The nude photos were indeed good, but unfortunately, her uncle found them very suspicious and confiscated them all before burning them. He even offered his own services if she needed them.

“But I got a little tired of them.”

“Yeah.”

Juliet Reed rested her chin on her hands and smiled. “You’re already engaged; it’s better to see real people than look at those photos.”

“That’s true.”

Juliet Reed smiled mischievously as she said, “It’s great! When will I meet my other half…”

Juliet Reed suddenly seemed lost in thought while saying this. Although she was now a top actress in the entertainment industry with numerous awards under her belt, she had faced many difficulties when she first entered the industry.

She remembered hiding her identity as a member of the Reed family when she made guest appearances in various TV dramas. At one point, someone drugged her and took her to someone important’s bed.

She was unconscious at the time and couldn’t resist; she thought she would lose her innocence then and there.

But instead of touching her, that important person dealt with the person who drugged her severely.

When she woke up and wanted to thank him, there was no one in the room; she didn’t even see his face clearly.

Juliet Reed had kept this incident in mind all these years; even now, she couldn’t forget about that person.

If she could meet him again, she wouldn’t hesitate to tell him everything on her mind.

“Tina, do you believe in love at first sight?”

Juliet Reed immersed herself in memories and couldn’t help but ask.

Tina paused for a moment; not knowing what came to mind; hesitated for a few seconds before saying: “It depends on the person.”

She wasn’t sure why Jared Farrell’s face suddenly appeared in her mind. Since finding out that Jared Farrell was Wolf Uncle, their distance had been getting closer and closer.

She had never trusted someone so much before; she even told him about her mother’s situation.

This rare feeling left Tina feeling confused; occasional palpitations stirred up her emotions.

Juliet Reed smiled as she curled up on the bed again. “I believe in love at first sight. If we meet again, I will definitely win him over!”

After saying this with a sigh again, Juliet Reed suddenly sat up excitedly and turned to Tina saying: “By the way! There’s a racing game in the North District today. Why don’t we go watch it together?”

She couldn’t sit still for even a minute; if there was something exciting happening somewhere, Juliet Reed would be there first.

“I’m not going.” Tina refused.

Seeing that she wasn’t agreeing, Juliet Reed resorted to begging and used all means necessary.

“Just go! It won’t hurt if you listen to me this time; next time we’ll do what you want! Whatever you want next time, I’ll accompany you!”

Juliet Reed almost threw a tantrum right then and there.

Tina felt helpless but still agreed reluctantly: “Fine! Let’s go!”

Juliet Reed wasn’t too bad of a person; it would just be killing time anyway.
