Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Logan stepped forward and stood opposite Muff, glaring fiercely. “What’s the problem? My grandson is visiting his fiancee. Do you have an objection? They are engaged, which is both reasonable and legal.” Logan thought, infuriated by the constant trouble caused by the old man, who had even expelled his grandson from the Reed family. Now that he was here, would he allow this old fool to interfere?

Muff scoffed, “How old is Tina? Kids playing house doesn’t count.”

“Mr. Farrell, my marriage to Tina was arranged by her mother and my grandfather,” Jared Farrell stated, his thick brows furrowed and his face expressionless, his voice cold.

Muff had been causing various difficulties recently and now he even wanted to deny his marriage to Tina? Reed family members really thought they held a high position in Tina’s heart? Or did they think he was being polite out of fear?

Muff choked on his words and glared at Jared Farrell, then fell silent.

Jasper then gestured to Logan Farrell to follow him. “Mr. Farrell, please come to the hall for some tea and refreshments. Tomorrow, our families can meet properly to discuss matters. Would that be alright?”

Jasper spoke earnestly, like a father trying to make amends. Logan snorted but said nothing.

Jared Farrell glanced at him with a deep and indifferent smirk.

Jasper led them to the main hall to sit down, then he and Muff got busy attending to guests.

In the corridor outside the lounge, Mack hid in a corner, watching a video on his phone. The video showed Tina in the lounge, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, looking down at her phone with a custom-designed dress from an internationally renowned designer hanging in front of her. The dress, a delicate pink with layers of chiffon resembling blossoming flowers and adorned with tiny diamonds, and a simple strapless top cinched at the waist with a matching belt embellished with at least a three-carat diamond, was the epitome of luxury.

Compared to the second-hand starry dress Amber wore at a banquet, the Reed family’s regard for Tina was clearly much higher. Yet, Tina seemed utterly disinterested in the dress, having dismissed her makeup artist and hairstylist and waiting in the lounge with a bare face, unwilling to dress up.

“This bitch, why hasn’t she changed into the dress yet!” Mack muttered impatiently. His mother Liliosa had installed a hidden camera in the lounge and had tampered with the luxurious dress. She had bought a colorless, odorless drug from the black market that induced uncontrollable arousal upon skin contact. Once Tina wore the dress, she would lose control, desiring only to vent her lust.

He had arranged for a man to stage a scene with Tina, which would then be broadcast live by a host known for exposing the salacious lives of the wealthy, whom Liliosa had contacted at Ward Hospital.

Tina had embarrassed him by broadcasting him live doing something humiliating, and now he intended to pay her back with this grand gesture, exposing her in a scandalous display to disgrace her.

He had thought about how to dismiss Tina’s makeup artists and stylists, but Tina had sent them away herself, remaining alone in the lounge. However, he was frustrated that she showed no interest in even trying on the dress.

On the surveillance screen, Tina remained motionless in one position.

“Is she even a woman?” Mack cursed impatiently. “Such a luxurious and beautiful dress, even I am tempted as a man, and she doesn’t want to wear it?”

“Oh? Why don’t you try it on then?” A cold voice sounded behind Mack.

He stiffened, only to see the phone screen flicker; the Tina who had been sitting on the sofa looking at her phone was gone, the lounge empty…

In the banquet hall, Audrey Woodwind was not as involved as she had been at Amber’s banquet. Given Tina’s high standing with the Reed family, her mother Esther and grandmother Annabelle were mingling with the guests, leaving her with nothing to do.

She was enjoying herself, chatting with a group of ladies about recent amusing events in Ashbury.

“Audrey, this new cousin of yours is much more favored than the last,” one lady teased. “I was at the Ensford banquet too, and in terms of scale, setup, and the Reed family’s attitude, it surpassed what Amber experienced. Are you jealous of Tina being so favored?”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Audrey Woodwind smiled nonchalantly at the sarcastic remark. Due to a past misunderstanding, the Reed family felt more remorse towards Tina, who indeed received more attention than Amber.

At least Tina didn’t constantly play the victim or scheme against her for favor, even if Tina’s indifference to the Reed family’s benefits was evident in her behavior.

“Wow, her dress is so beautiful,” another lady commented, showing a picture on her phone from the designer’s Instagram page featuring the dress designed for Tina. “The Reed family really went all out, hiring such a renowned designer and rushing what normally takes a month to complete in just a few days.”

Audrey Woodwind glanced at the picture of the luxurious dress, feeling a slight envy. Among the younger generation, only Tina received such treatment. When the dress arrived that morning, she couldn’t help but try it on secretly, only to be seen by Tina.

She had blushed, embarrassed, but Tina seemed indifferent and even offered to swap dresses with her. Whether sincere or not, Audrey couldn’t possibly accept such an offer.

“Hey, isn’t that Jared Farrell?” the lady admiring the dress suddenly nudged Audrey Woodwind, pointing towards the buffet area. “He was good-looking even when he was wheelchair-bound. Now that he’s up and about, he’s absolutely dashing!”
