Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

This morning, when the news that Amber Reed was pregnant and wanted Jared Farrell to take responsibility reached the capital, he rushed to Muff Reed’s sanatorium and scolded Muff Reed to vent his anger. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, he was slapped in the face by his own eldest grandson! His eldest grandson had impregnated someone else’s granddaughter and caused such a scandal!

Muff Reed, who had been holding back his anger from Logan for a while, seized this opportunity to storm into the Farrell family and gave Logan a thorough scolding, venting all his pent-up frustrations at once. Logan, who had been used to being arrogant in front of Muff Reed, suddenly found himself in the position of a grandson, having to apologize to the old man. This made him so furious that he couldn’t even eat dinner and called Jared Farrell to complain.

Jared Farrell talked on the phone while carefully picking rose petals out of Tina’s hair. “Grandfather, why don’t you ask Muff Reed why his granddaughter tried to pin the pregnancy on me if she was carrying my cousin’s child? Was she trying to sow discord within our Farrell family?”

“You’re right!” Logan snapped out of it. “This was all her doing. If it’s Nathaniel’s child, just say so. Our family won’t shirk responsibility. Why drag you into it? No, I need to go back and scold them!” He hung up hastily, clearly too angry to think straight. Normally, he would ask about Tina, but today he forgot.

“So, Amber Reed is going to be your sister-in-law?” Tina raised an eyebrow.

At the door, Hugo and Jennie exchanged glances and frowned. If Amber Reed married Jared Farrell’s cousin, Tina would have to deal with Amber Reed regularly after marrying into the Farrell family. They detested Amber Reed and naturally didn’t want Tina to interact with her daily.

Jared Farrell gathered up the scattered carnations and placed a Juliet rose in a vase on Tina’s bedside table. “The Farrell family’s door is not so easy to enter.” If it weren’t for wanting to protect Tina from Amber Reed’s disgust, he would let Nathaniel Farrell handle his own mess.

In the hospital.

Lily Ward had come specifically to treat Emrys’ injuries and didn’t need to see other patients. However, her fame attracted many doctors seeking her advice on various medical issues. Even professors from Ensford Medical University came just to exchange medical insights with her.

So Audrey Woodwind could only sit by and watch as Lily Ward conversed with a group of doctors using terms she couldn’t understand. Bored, she checked her phone and raised an eyebrow.

The Farrell family moved quickly; news about the marriage alliance was already out. Now everyone knew that the child Amber Reed was carrying belonged to Nathaniel Farrell.

Although Nathaniel wasn’t as impressive as Jared Farrell and somewhat foolish, he was handsome and came from a good background-considered an ideal match by ordinary people. The comment section that previously insulted Amber Reed now overflowed with envy and jealousy.

Audrey Woodwind’s eyes flashed coldly as she contacted some online influencers. Within ten minutes, different voices emerged online. Many comments questioned why Amber Reed initially tried to pin the pregnancy on Jared Farrell if it was Nathaniel’s child. “She slept with Nathaniel Farrell but wanted Jared Farrell to take responsibility? This young woman is truly something else!”

Satisfied, Audrey Woodwind put away her phone. Seeing Lily Ward still busy, she decided to leave. She had done enough for now.

Lily Ward merely nodded at her departure before continuing her discussion with Ensford Medical University’s professors.

Passing by Emrys’ room, Audrey hesitated but decided against greeting him. Even if she mocked him with Amber Reed’s scandalous behavior, Emrys would still side with Amber Reed and might even retaliate against her later.

How pitiful-he became disabled for Amber Reed, yet she rarely visited him.

As she pondered this, a sensuous woman walked past her on the phone. “Mr. Farrell? Why call me suddenly?”

“What? Three people?”

“But I saw the news-you’re getting married! Aren’t you afraid your wife will get jealous?”

Audrey stopped in her tracks and watched the woman’s seductive figure walk away before smiling slightly and following her.

At Reed Residence.

When Audrey returned home, it was already late. A servant asked if she had eaten dinner; she shook her head. “Not yet.”

“I’ll have the kitchen prepare something,” the servant said.

“Wait,” Audrey stopped her. “Bring it to my room.”

Since everyone else had probably eaten already, dining alone in the dining room seemed pointless.

The servant nodded and went to the kitchen.

Humming a tune and swinging her bag, Audrey headed upstairs toward her room. Passing Annabelle’s room, she heard Garrett speaking inside: “Mom, why do we need a third paternity test when both previous ones confirmed she’s our sister?”

Audrey raised an eyebrow and quietly listened outside.

Inside the room, Annabelle exchanged glances with Jasper Reed before Jasper responded: “The longer this goes on, the more I feel Amber isn’t my daughter.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“But this third test result is identical to the previous ones,” Garrett said, holding a paternity test report. “Amber is your daughter.”

Leaning back in an expensive wooden chair with an air of authority, Jasper insisted: “My intuition doesn’t lie!”

“Big brother,” Garrett sighed disapprovingly. “I know Amber has caused trouble since returning to our family, but you can’t let that make you think she’s not your daughter.”

“It’s not just that,” Jasper frowned. “If she were truly my daughter, no matter how troublesome she is, I would take responsibility for her upbringing. My suspicion isn’t baseless; it’s based on evidence.”

He continued: “When I privately asked about her childhood with Natalie, she mentioned falling ill at six years old without money for treatment-Natalie could only cry helplessly while begging for help until Amber miraculously recovered.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Garrett asked.

Esther interjected: “Natalie was highly skilled in medicine; she’d never be helpless watching her child suffer without doing anything.”

“Moreover,” Jasper added, “with Natalie’s abilities, securing funds for treatment wouldn’t have been difficult.”

Garrett was stunned-Amber’s story indicated ignorance about Natalie’s capabilities; hence fabricating lies based on typical maternal behavior.

“Investigate thoroughly,” Annabelle said tiredly rubbing her temples before smirking coldly: “If Elizabeth managed such deception against us successfully-she likely knows where your real daughter is.”

Outside quietly listening-Audrey’s eyes gleamed mischievously while smiling faintly before leaving unnoticed-anticipating exciting developments ahead eagerly awaiting seeing Amber fall from grace completely.
