Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jared barely lifted his eyelids, glancing at the journalist who had spoken those words. The journalist was young, with black-framed glasses and when his eyes met Jared’s, a shiver ran down his spine, and he couldn’t help but step back. But when he saw Amber weeping so pitifully, and Pinewood groaning on the ground, he was once again overwhelmed by a self-righteous “justice,” and said with a stiff neck, “What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? I think Mr. Pinewood should go for an injury assessment right now, and sue you for intentional harm!”

All the other reporters echoed in agreement, “That’s right, you’ll pay for what you did!”

“That Tina is really no good, the Reed family raised her, and she instigated her own fiance to bankrupt the Reed family! What an ungrateful wretch!”

“We will expose everything that happened today! Let everyone see what you really are!”

“I think they owe the Reeds Company a public apology, and should compensate them for all losses!”

Amber’s eyes flashed, seizing the opportunity, she cried and kowtowed to Tina, begging, “Tina, I beg you, please let Mr. Farrell spare the Reed family! Let me bear all the blame! Do you really want to see the Reed family destroyed before you can be satisfied?!”

She lay on the ground, her voice choked with sobs, pleading over and over as if she were the pitiest woman in the world.

But in her eyes, hidden from view, was a venomous resentment.

Kneeling and kowtowing to Tina was not her choice.

But no matter how unwilling or resentful she was, she had to agree to do this.

If the Reed family was gone, she would lose her backing, making her ambitions and desires difficult to fulfill.

After all, where in the world could she find another fool like Elizabeth, who would value an adopted daughter more than her own granddaughter?

She had to get through this.

So, even with a heart full of reluctance, she still kowtowed with all her might.

With each kowtow on the ground, she reminded herself, “Endure this, Amber, and the humiliation you suffer today must be repaid twofold on Tina!”

Tina had not said a word from beginning to end, her expression was a mix of a smile but not quite, as if she was watching an interesting comedy, even showing a bit of relish.

She had said, Elizabeth would not be so foolish to think that detaining Zackary would force her to spare the Reed family, it seemed she wanted to play a game of moral blackmail.

People often don’t look at what happened, they first sympathize with the underdog, who always has an inherent advantage in public opinion.

And now, just from how it looked, she and Jared, even the entire Farrell family, were oppressors, while the sick Elizabeth and the weeping Amber appeared to be the oppressed.

If someone filmed this scene and put it online, it would surely be another round of sympathy for the underdog, a witch hunt against the strong.

If it had been someone else under this public pressure, they might have given in.

Too bad, she was Tina Reed.

They miscalculated her; she was not someone to be morally blackmailed.

Especially not by those devoid of morality.

She remained silent, just wanting to see how far Amber could go if she did not agree.

Isn’t it fun?

Watching them hop around like clowns before her.

Lastly, to be crushed.

“Tina! Are you really that heartless?” Seeing that Tina remained unmoved, Amber grew desperate. She raised her head, her forehead, which had been smooth, was now red and bruised, tears streaked her cheeks, and her soft long hair was disheveled.

The onlooking journalists, moved by the scene, angrily spoke out.

“Miss Amber, don’t beg her anymore, can’t you see? Your sister just has a heart of stone!”

“Yeah, after all you’ve been through, she can still laugh!”

“No, no, it’s all my fault, not Tina’s!” While Amber harbored hatred for Tina in her heart, she feigned panic and shook her head desperately. Suddenly, she pulled out a knife and pressed it against her left wrist, “Sister, what do you want to let the Reed family go? Can I just die? Will it be over if I die?”

The journalists were shocked and hurriedly called out to stop her.

“Miss Amber, don’t be silly!”

“Even if you hurt yourself, this cruel woman won’t spare the Reed family!”

“Amber! Don’t!” Elizabeth also played her part, staring with wide eyes, attempting to rush down to stop Amber, yet very timely fainted.

“Mom!”

Talon immediately started crying and holding her, then glared at Tina, “Tina, do you really want to push us to death?”

What a huge accusation.

Tina genuinely laughed this time, “Continue!”

Amber was stunned. She didn’t expect that, even at this point, Tina would remain unmoved.

Was she not worried that her reputation would be ruined after this?

It was the information age, and today’s events could spread across the net within half a day. Tina might be cursed everywhere she walked.

And the Farrell family would be implicated too.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

If just for a bit of sibling strife, they allowed their in-laws to be ruined, such news would undoubtedly impact their family business. When Logan appointed Jared as the successor, other members of the Farrell family were clearly dissatisfied. If Jared oppressed the Reed family for Tina now and dragged the Farrell family down, affecting the family reputation, it would give others in the Farrell family a reason to attack him and could even hinder his succession.

Did Jared really not care at all?

Did he really love Tina that much?

She looked up at Tina, never imagining that one day she would be looking up at this sister she initially despised from such a corner.

Tina, radiant and composed, stood there, looking down on her.

Whereas she was disheveled, without a shred of dignity, kneeling to Tina like a beggar.

Why? Why had their situations seemed to switch so suddenly? She had fallen from the clouds into the mud, while Tina shone brighter. Where did it go wrong?

It was Jared!

Why could Tina be protected so unconditionally by someone like Jared?

Why didn’t she have such a Jared?

He should have been hers!
