Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jared’s tone was flat, as flat as if he were mentioning the most ordinary thing.

Yet it tensed Amber’s heart once again.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Could it be that Jared actually had Dr. Ward’s phone number?

And he was going to call Dr. Ward?

Was he determined to ruin her reputation today?

No, she could never let this happen!

Absolutely not!

The image she had cultivated over the years could not be destroyed just like that.

Amber’s eyes lifted, her face carrying a hint of coolness, “The Farrell family is wealthy and powerful, Mr. Farrell can afford to be impolite and arrogant, but I cannot! I personally delivered the gift to Dr. Ward, so naturally, I should be the one to apologize and retrieve it. Please wait, Mr. Farrell, I will change my clothes now and go get it.”

Without giving Jared a chance to speak, she turned and went upstairs.

The one thing Amber was thankful for was that the birthday party was held at Moon Gate Estate; otherwise, it would have been very difficult to manage the situation.

Once upstairs, Amber closed the door tightly, hatred almost spilling from her eyes.

She clenched her teeth, her fists tightly balled.

Tina!

Jared!

You wait, I will not let you have an easy time!

After a while, Amber changed her clothes and threw two of the medicinal ingredients out of the window before heading downstairs.

When she came down, she didn’t even carry a bag.

It was to show everyone that she had indeed given away the medicine.

Amber approached Elizabeth and the second lady, Ivy, with great apology, “I’m sorry, grandmother, Ivy, it was all my fault for causing trouble for the Reed family.”

“What does it have to do with you? It’s all Tina’s fault for causing this mess. Without her, how could the Reed family be shamed today?” Elizabeth stepped forward, took her hand gently, and said, “Don’t blame yourself, I don’t blame you, and no one here does.”

Ivy sneered internally; of course, she blamed Amber!

This was her birthday party, and now it had turned into a fiasco, her face utterly lost.

Moreover, she never liked Amber!

The girl was too scheming, sometimes her desires were clearly written on her face.

But these words, naturally, she could not voice out loud.

With the economic power of the Reed family in Elizabeth’s hands, they all had to live under her favor.

Ivy squeezed out a smile, “Amber, I don’t mind, don’t take it to heart.”

“Thank you.” Amber bowed her head, still the picture of docility, but her loose hair obscured the sharp light in her eyes.

“Go to Dr. Ward quickly and retrieve the gift. It’s our fault, tell him I will definitely compensate him with a generous gift in the future,” Elizabeth said, aware that Amber was supposed to give Dr. Ward the medicinal ingredients Jared had sent.

She just didn’t know that Amber hadn’t delivered them yet.

Of course, even if she knew, she would make the same choice as Amber; they couldn’t let everyone discover the gift was still in their possession.

“Alright.”

Amber spoke and left in a hurry.

She bypassed everyone and went to the backyard to collect the medicinal ingredients and then left Moon Gate Estate.

After Amber left, the commotion also came to an end.

Jared did not pursue it further.

After all, this was Moon Gate Estate.

His future father-in-law was Hugo Reed; he had to give that much respect.

The banquet officially began, and everyone tacitly avoided mentioning the recent events, but their impression of Amber had worsened.

Elizabeth, however, behaved as if nothing had happened, still smiling and dealing with the guests.

Tina, Hugo, Jennie, and Zackary sat in a corner.

With Tina was Sophia, who insisted on staying with her, refusing to leave, so Tina had no choice but to sit in the corner with her.

It wasn’t that they chose to sit there themselves; it was arranged by Elizabeth.

In the Reed family, Hugo’s family did not have the right to sit at the main table, as had always been the case.

Hugo didn’t mind; he felt more at ease not mingling with those people.

Tina disliked the bustle, so the corner suited her well.

However, their table was isolated, as the other guests were busy making friends, and since Elizabeth did not value them, naturally, no one cared to engage with them.

They had just sat down when someone tapped Tina on the shoulder, “Miss Tina, I’m rooting for you, give it to that cheating wench!”

Tina turned her head, her eyebrows raised at the sight before her. Velma, in a purple long dress, looked striking, not as delicate as Amber, with well-defined features and an exceptional aura. If she hadn’t just spoken againstAmber, people would probably mistake her for a celestial being descended from the heavens.

But now, well…

Tina’s lips curled into a smirk, “Do you have a grudge against Amber?”

“No grudge! I just can’t stand her!” Velma flashed a smile at Tina, “I like someone like you, straightforward and genuine!”

Tina’s mouth twitched slightly. Was this supposed to be a compliment?

Seemed like it.

“Alright, I won’t say more. I’ve got to make a run for it. After causing such a scene earlier, my dad’s going to break my legs. I’m off to save my own skin.” After saying that, Velma lifted her dress and ran off.

Tina, with sharp eyes, noticed that Velma was wearing pants under her dress!

Halfway through her escape, Velma suddenly turned back, “Oh, by the way, my name is Velma, Velma Lehman. I’ll come to find you when I’m free.”

Without giving Tina a chance to respond, she was off again.

Like a whirlwind.

Tina touched her forehead, speechless.

Just after Velma left, Nathan wheeled Jared over, followed by an insouciant Hayden.

Tina first glanced at Jared and then at Hayden, her gaze playful when she looked at Hayden.

Hayden touched his nose, feeling a bit puzzled.

Why did he always feel that something was off with Miss Reed?

She always stared at him with that strange smile.

It made him wonder if Miss Reed had taken a liking to him.

But her expression didn’t quite seem like it.

“Mr. Reed, Miss Reed, may we join your table?” Jared asked with polite restraint.

Hugo was about to refuse but was swayed by Jared’s manners, “Sit down.”

After everyone was seated, no one spoke, and the atmosphere grew somewhat awkward.

Sophia, seemingly oblivious to the awkwardness, looked up at Tina with twinkling eyes, “Miss Reed, are you Jared’s fiancee? Does that mean you’ll be my sister-in-law?”

Before Tina could reply, Sophia pondered for a moment and then added, “I’ll call you Tina, okay?”

Just as Tina was about to respond, Hugo immediately interjected, “Miss Farrell, you can’t speak so carelessly. Tina will not marry your brother; their engagement has been canceled.”

Jared’s eyes shot up, surprised, looking at Tina, his gaze questioning: Why haven’t you told Hugo about our engagement?

Tina, “…”,

Could she mention that it wasn’t her choice to stay silent, but that she just hadn’t had the chance?

Just-speechless!

Jared, “…”,

So, her father was still fixated on breaking the engagement?

*Cough* *Cough*

Jared cleared his throat, lifting his glass, “Mr. Reed…”

Before he could finish, Sophia blinked her innocent big eyes and tilted her head to ask Hugo, “Uncle Reed, do you dislike my brother? Is it because he is ugly? Or because he has no money?”

Jared, “…”,

Just-speechless!

He suddenly understood why Tina hadn’t mentioned their engagement to Hugo.

There was simply no opportunity to get a word in!

Hugo, caught off guard by Sophia’s question, stammered, “It’s not that…”

“Then you do like my brother? But if you like him, why don’t you agree to let Miss Reed and him be together? My brother is rich, and… well, if he weren’t, I could give him money. No, I mean, I would give all my money to Miss Reed. I will make sure Miss Reed is well taken care of, you won’t have to worry.”

Hugo, “…”

*Cough*

Jared cleared his throat, speaking up, “Sophia.”

Sophia, catching his look, lowered her head and fell silent.

What to do now?

She was quite afraid of Jared.

Jared didn’t dwell on her inner turmoil and instead raised his glass to Hugo, “Mr. Reed, perhaps Miss Tina didn’t have the chance to inform you, but she has agreed to our engagement.”

“What?”

“What?”

Hugo and Jennie’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Jared.
