Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Before Sophia could get close to Tina, Jared grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her up. He greeted Orchid, “Aunt Orchid, so I would let you have some time between you two. I’ll take Sophia and Zackary to play first.”

With that said, he carried Sophia away without allowing any objections.

“Ah! Jared, let me go! I want to talk to Miss Reed!” Sophia kicked her little legs and struggled desperately in mid-air.

Recently, her mother not only refused to let her find Miss Reed, but also kept saying bad things about Tina in front of her, even instigating her to sabotage Tina and her brother’s relationship.

Each time, she could only let it go in one ear and out the other, silently chanting in her heart, “Not listening, not listening, I’m not listening.”

She even considered secretly complaining to her grandfather; otherwise, her mother was really too annoying. Her ears were almost hurting.

Today, she had finally managed to slip out with her brother’s help to find Tina, but her brother was doing the same thing!

She was really about to be angered to death by her brother!

“Behave.” Jared lightly patted her little bottom and signaled to Nathan with a glance. Nathan then carried away the dumbfounded Zackary.

Jared knew Tina had something to discuss with Orchid privately, so he considerately helped her take care of the children.

Of course, when it came to taking care of the children, only Nathan was actually running back and forth being the babysitter.

Jared just stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching the two children to prevent them from running around.

Zackary was quite well-behaved and didn’t make a fuss.

Although he had already played through the entire amusement park, when Sophia was here, he still happily accompanied her around the park until the pout on her face turned into a smile. After all, he liked this little sister.

Tina and Orchid found an unoccupied bench and sat down side by side.

The fireworks continued in the distance, casting dazzling light on Orchid’s face, but it revealed a hint of awkwardness and embarrassment. She hesitated for a long time without speaking. Instead, it was Tina who spoke first, “Aunt Orchid, I have something I want to ask you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Did my mother leave anything with you?” After asking, Tina added an explanation, “When my mother left back then, I was still too young. I had almost no memories of her by my side, so I’ve been wanting to find her belongings over the years to keep as a remembrance.”

Actually, she didn’t have much hope in Orchid. Since her mother had said before her death that the items were at Moon Gate Estate, and she couldn’t get any information from Hugo, naturally she had to ask Orchid.

“No, she didn’t.” As expected, Orchid shook her head. She was very fond of Rebecca.

Back then, when she got into trouble and was almost sexually assulted, it was Rebecca who saved her. She had always been grateful.

Mentioning the past, she couldn’t help but smile, “At that time, your mother was just like me, a fragile and weak woman, yet she dared to venture alone into danger and rush into that bar to save me.”

When she heard “fragile and weak,” Tina’s eyes flickered.

She continued listening to Orchid, “I was drugged at the time. I can’t remember the details, but I remember your mother somehow mustered the strength to carry me on her back and kept running…”

At this point, she let out a long sigh, “Tina, I know the Reed family wronged you and your mother. If you and your mother hadn’t been driven out by your grandmother back then, perhaps your mother wouldn’t have left so early.

“Regarding this matter, Amber was indeed wrong first. Your grandmother has already made her post a clarification on social media about what happened to the Fanning family and apologize to you. Can you let Jared spare the Reed family?”

She finally brought it up.

“Aunt Orchid, they all must pay the price for what they did.” Tina’s tone was very calm.

Of course, she could let Jared spare the Reed family, but she herself wouldn’t spare the Reed family.

She never needed to rely on Jared.

Unfortunately, the Reed family didn’t understand, but they didn’t need to understand. They just needed to shatter into pieces according to her wishes.

“Yes, I know, but the Reed family has already paid the price for Amber’s actions after going through this. Can you let them off this time for my sake?” Orchid said.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Tina raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Orchid, pursed her lips, and after a long while, she took out her phone and opened Amber’s apology video. “Take a look at this first.”

Orchid took the phone in confusion, and the next second, she frowned, “What is Amber trying to do?”

In the video, while apologizing and clarifying, Amber displayed a hesitant and reluctant expression, and her expression instantly turned bad.

After leaving the hospital, she directly contacted Tina and then went to Royal Oaks to pick up Zackary, so she didn’t know that the video Amber posted was actually like this.

“She hired more than a dozen people to create a disturbance at my home and Royal Oaks, making it seem like I incited public outrage.” Tina spoke very calmly, as if talking about something unimportant to her.

“What?!” Orchid was shocked. When Elizabeth told her, she didn’t mention this matter.

“Her slandering me is one thing.” Tina raised her eyes and looked directly at Orchid, “Usually, only Mrs. Reed is at home, and Zackary is still so young. If something were to happen to them, the Reed family would face more than just bankruptcy.”

Tina glanced sideways at Orchid, “Don’t think I’m being ruthless. Although this matter was Amber’s doing, Elizabeth was also involved. Amber is just an adopted daughter of the Reed family. If she makes a mistake, it’s reasonable for the Reed family to pay for it.”

Orchid opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

She saw the coldness in Tina’s eyes and suddenly realized that the young girl in front of her had long grown up. She was no longer the little girl she held in her arms back then, nor could she be easily swayed by some blood relation nonsense.

“I didn’t know about these things.” Deep guilt surfaced in Orchid’s heart, “I’ve let you down.”

She wasn’t a fool. Although Elizabeth doted on her, she knew very well what kind of person her mother was.

How could she not think that Amber had so much money to hire people to create trouble without Elizabeth’s support?

She couldn’t blame Tina for being so ruthless towards the Reed family.

The Reed family deserved it!

“Miss Reed!”

Sophia, who had finished playing, pounced directly into Tina’s arms and even rubbed her little head, “I missed you so much. Jared wouldn’t even let me say a word to you!”

“Sophia.” Jared glanced at her, “Who bought you the game tickets? Who bought you the ice cream? Yet you turn around and badmouth me, hmm?”

“It was Nathan!” Sophia answered righteously.

Jared was instantly at a loss for words, “He used my money!”

Nathan almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

In the past, he had never seen Jared bicker with his own sister. Ever since Tina appeared, Jared had changed a lot.

It seemed… like the gradual melting of ice.

“This child is really adorable.” Orchid reached out and ruffled Sophia’s hair.

“Of course, Miss Reed personally took care of me and my illness, so of course I’m adorable.” Sophia grinned, revealing her little baby teeth.

Orchid’s heart softened, and suddenly, she missed her son in Australia.
