Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Garrett and Luna were taken aback. Juliet Reed was their second daughter. She had entered the entertainment industry before she was an adult and won Best Actress last year, becoming a highly popular and talented actress. Because of her busy filming schedule, she couldn’t return even after hearing about Jasper finding his biological daughter.

“Call Juliet,” Annabelle said to Garrett and Luna, holding back her anger.

Luna glanced at her husband, unsure of Annabelle’s intentions but complied anyway. She dialed Juliet Reed’s video call, thinking Juliet was abroad filming and might not answer due to the time difference. Unexpectedly, Juliet answered immediately. “Mom, missing me?”

“Your grandmother misses you,” Luna smiled, handing the phone to Annabelle.

“Juliet,” Annabelle took the phone.

Tina saw Juliet Reed in the video call, getting her makeup touched up with one eye half-closed as the makeup artist fixed her eyelashes. “Grandma.”

“Do you remember a bracelet your grandmother had?” Annabelle’s tone softened.

“Yes, the one Liliosa always wanted?” Juliet replied vaguely while applying lipstick.

Liliosa’s face twitched upon hearing this.

“Do you want it? Grandma can give it to you,” Annabelle asked with a faint smile.

Garrett and Luna frowned simultaneously, hoping Juliet wouldn’t say she wanted it. They preferred not to upset Annabelle over a bracelet.

“No, why would I want it? I’m too young for jade; it’s so old-fashioned!” Juliet said disdainfully.

Tina, wearing the old-fashioned jade bracelet, felt speechless. Thanks! She was inexplicably insulted.

“Then I’ll give it to your cousin Tina,” Annabelle smiled, knowing her eldest granddaughter wasn’t superficial.

Juliet didn’t care, “Go ahead.”

She then noticed the girl sitting next to Annabelle and moved closer to the screen to get a better look at Tina. “Wow, this cousin is so pretty, much better than the last one. I liked her at first sight. The last one made me want to slap her!”

The Reed family members felt awkward hearing this.

“Juliet, mind your image; it’s not good for others to hear such things,” her assistant reminded her quickly.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Seriously, can’t I say anything?” Juliet pouted in dissatisfaction.

Everyone laughed at this; Garrett and Luna exchanged helpless looks. Their daughter could be quite unrestrained sometimes.

At that moment, someone called for Juliet on set. She brought her face close to the camera. “Little cousin, I’ll bring you a gift when I return! What do you like? There are many handsome blond guys here; do you like them? I can pack a few for you!”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Luna quickly ended the call and smiled apologetically at Tina, relieved Jared Farrell wasn’t around. “Don’t listen to your sister; she’s always joking.”

Tina’s eyes lit up! Handsome guys? That sounded good! Could she pack more?

Jared Farrell: Don’t you dare!

Tina raised an eyebrow: If you can flirt around, why can’t I find handsome guys?

Jared Farrell: …

“Audrey, do you want this bracelet?” Annabelle turned to Audrey Woodwind sitting next to Esther.

Such a rare bracelet naturally tempted Audrey Woodwind. She had heard from Esther that it was part of Annabelle’s dowry and originally a pair but one was lost. It could be a family heirloom; otherwise, Liliosa wouldn’t have coveted it for so long. But even if Audrey wanted it badly, she couldn’t say so in this situation. She suppressed her jealousy towards Tina and smiled, “This bracelet suits my cousin best.”

Annabelle nodded in satisfaction and looked at Liliosa. “They have no objections to me giving this bracelet to Tina. Do you have anything else to say?”

Liliosa glared at the bracelet on Tina’s wrist and angrily threw down her chopsticks, losing her appetite.

“I’m still alive, and you dare throw your chopsticks in front of me!” Annabelle’s face darkened. “With such behavior, how dare you criticize Tina for being rude!”

Liliosa’s face twisted in anger but she didn’t dare retort Annabelle; she could only glare hatefully at Tina.

“Ms. Reed,” Lily Ward suddenly spoke up to calm Liliosa down.

“So you like jade? A friend of mine is opening a small jade shop in Oakhaven this afternoon; he said there would be many good items there. How about I accompany you there?”

“Oh right, I almost forgot about that,” Willow laughed along.

“It’s a small shop opened by one of Lily’s patients’ companies as thanks for curing their illness. They invited Lily over and said any item she liked would be hers. Lily asked me before and I always wanted to take Liliosa there.”

“Lily’s medical skills are indeed excellent,” Griffin praised. “I heard Emrys’ injury was deemed incurable by many doctors but Lily managed to ensure he could walk normally again.”

“Exactly,” Liliosa finally smiled and said to Annabelle, “Mom, Lily often helps with your health too; you’ve always treated her like half a granddaughter.”

She glanced around at the younger Reed family members before finally resting her gaze on Tina. “In our family, none of these kids are as talented as Lily.”

Tina continued eating without much expression while Lily Ward and her mother exchanged proud glances directed at her.

Tina found it amusing. Competing with her? She wasn’t interested.

Annabelle initially nodded with a smile but closed her mouth after Liliosa’s last comment soured her mood.

Seeing Annabelle’s expression turn cold again, Willow silently cursed Liliosa for ruining things further.

No one likes their own children being belittled while others are praised.

“I think Damian is excellent too; he’s a business genius admired by everyone,” Willow quickly tried to salvage the situation.

Annabelle’s expression softened slightly.

Everyone had their own talents; Lily Ward excelled in medicine but couldn’t compare with Damian in business or Juliet Reed in acting. Only someone as thoughtless as Liliosa would praise others while stepping on their own family members.
