Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Velma Lehman snapped back to reality, walking dazedly toward the lecturer’s desk. It was only when she grasped the test papers in her hands that she truly came back to her senses. Velma Lehman-she was indeed the top student in the entire city!

With a joyful squeal, Velma leapt three feet into the air and embraced Tina, peppering her face with kisses.

“Tina! Thank you, thank you! You’ve changed my life! I’m so grateful to you!”

“Cough, cough!” Tina, somewhat speechless, protested, “Let go of me!”

“Uh!” Velma, remembering that Tina didn’t like being touched, chuckled awkwardly, “I’m just really happy.”

Tina pinched the bridge of her nose, gesturing for her to sit back down, then calmed the students, saying, “This is the last quiz. These results won’t decide your final exam scores, but if you maintain them, you can all go to college.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the students of Class 22D stood up once again, tears brimming in their eyes as they shouted in unison, “Miss Reed, thank you!”

Their words were simple, yet they carried so much weight. Class 22D had gone from being doubted, labeled, feared, and seen as outcasts, to now shattering others’ perceptions of them.

All this was Tina’s doing!

This teacher had brought them from a dark life into a new dawn! They could now see a bright future ahead. They could live proudly and do what they truly wanted to do. Their thanks to Tina was not just gratitude but also admiration.

Tina, moved by her students, felt a softening in her heart. Coming to Ensford High School to lead Class 22D was probably the best decision she had made after descending from the mountains. Having experienced darkness herself, she knew the value of light.

She couldn’t perform miracles, but enabling these students to see the light was enough.

Tina raised her hand, signaling everyone to sit down, “You don’t need to thank me. Today’s achievements are the result of your own efforts.”

The students of Class 22D fell silent, knowing that no amount of words could express their gratitude towards Miss Reed.

Tina glanced at her students and announced, “Tomorrow is Saturday, the whole class has a holiday.”

Surprised, the students responded, “Miss Reed, don’t we usually not have holidays on Saturdays? And with exams just over a week away, we’d rather keep studying and not take a break.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Tomorrow night, at the gym, a concert by Ember Saffron, just for you,” Tina said with a hint of a smile. “Those who don’t want to go can come to class as usual.”

Silence fell.

It was so quiet you could hear everyone’s breathing.

After a long pause, a scream broke the silence.

“Ah! Ember Saffron! Miss Reed has arranged a concert by Ember Saffron just for us!”

“My God, I’m so happy I could faint! Ember’s schedule is booked till next year, who would have thought I’d get to see his concert before exams!”

“Indeed, it’s so hard to get a chance to see Ember, and not only did Miss Reed get him here, but she also booked the whole venue just for us. Being Miss Reed’s student is just too good to be true! I’ll brag about this for a lifetime!”

Class 22D erupted into cheers, their voices filling the entire school, drawing the curious glances of students from other classes.

Unfortunately, no one knew what had happened.

In the midst of Class 22D’s cheers, Tina discreetly left.

In the teachers’ office.

As Tina entered, Jared Farrell was lounging on a sofa playing a game. She twitched her mouth, “Uncle, I seriously doubt you’re here just to pass the time.”

He had been around for a while and had hardly taught any physical education classes. He just stayed in the office waiting for her. With a monthly salary of $50, 000, she wondered if he felt guilty about it.

Jared put away his phone, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her head, “I really am!”

“Don’t you have other things to do?” Tina was somewhat exasperated.

She remembered how busy he used to be, always dealing with various matters. Lately, it seemed he had nothing to do.

Just chatting about love with her every day?

At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted them.

Tina opened the door to see Hayden Cohen and Nathan Lehman rushing over, “Mr. Farrell, there’s trouble at Ashbury, our base has been…”

Hayden paused, unsure of how much Tina knew about Jared’s affairs, “The base was attacked, and a lot of data waslost.”

Jared Farrell, “…”

He looked at Tina with a helpless expression, “Tina, should we check your mouth?”

Tina, “…”

She didn’t mean to!

Jared stood up, gently touched Tina’s head, “I need to go back to Ashbury. While I’m gone, you should head to Pinkwater Alley, you’ll be on your own, and I don’t feel comfortable with that.”

Tina could sense the urgency and didn’t say much, “Okay, you go ahead.”

Without further delay, Jared left with Hayden Cohen and Nathan Lehman. Just as he reached the door, Tina called out, “Uncle! Take this.”

She handed him a small ceramic bottle.

Jared, looking at the bottle in her hand, embraced her waist, lifted her slightly, and tenderly kissed her forehead, his tone filled with affection, “Thank you, Tina!”

This medicine, worth five million dollars a dose, had been given to him by his girl-a whole bottle of it. He still owed her for the last bottle he hadn’t repaid, and now he owed even more.

This medicine, he couldn’t refuse it. His team needed it.

Hayden Cohen, impatient on the side, couldn’t believe they still had time for affectionate exchanges given the situation. Just as he was about to urge Jared to hurry, Jared released Tina and turned to leave.

In Mendara.

In the CEO’s office.

James Heart, after finishing a day’s work, felt a bit bored. He remembered that his father-in-law was still in the office and thought it had been a while since they had chatted. So, he walked towards Hugo’s office.

At that moment in the project department, Hugo was watching a video of Tina playing the piano at the Reed family banquet the previous night. The video, released by someone unknown, had gained fifty million likes overnight, and Tina’s name had become a sensation in Ensford.

Watching the elegant and graceful Tina in the video, Hugo felt proud but soon his expression turned to worry.

Tina looked so much like Rebecca; every move she made was a reminder of her. She was becoming more and more dazzling, and while he should have been happy, he couldn’t be. The more attention Tina attracted, the more danger she faced. He wanted to protect her, but he felt powerless.

Tina had indirectly asked him if Rebecca had left anything else behind, something he knew she was curious about. But he couldn’t tell her; only when Tina was strong enough, could he reveal it.

James Heart walked in just as Hugo was absorbed in his phone. Trying to understand his father-in-law’s interests, he quietly approached, only to see the video of Tina playing the piano.

Before he could speak, Hugo noticed him and quickly stood up, “Chairman!”

“Father… cough,” James cleared his throat, “Mr. Reed, what are you watching?”

Seeing that James was calm, Hugo replied, “I’m watching a video of my daughter playing the piano. She left me when she was nine, and I had no idea she’d be so breathtaking on her return.”

As he spoke of Tina, Hugo became more animated, showing the video to James, “Look, isn’t my daughter beautiful? She plays the piano so well. Unfortunately, she’s engaged. I had hoped to keep her with me a bit longer…”

“What?!” James’s eyes widened in shock, “What did you just say?! Serena is engaged? To whom?”

Who was this audacious young man daring to court his Serena? Was he out of his mind?
