Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jared Farrell’s eyes lifted slightly, his stern face devoid of any expression, his narrowed eyes gleaming dangerously.

Upon seeing this, Nathan Lehman immediately intervened, “Young master, please show some respect. Miss Reed is our master’s fiancee.”

In public, Nathan Lehman referred to Jared Farrell respectfully as ‘master’.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Nathaniel sneered, his disdainful gaze unabashedly sizing up Tina, “Fiancee? Has grandfather lost his mind, choosing such a background-less woman as a fiancee for you?”

This was something many in the Farrell family found baffling. With Logan’s apparent partiality towards Jared Farrell, why would he choose someone like Tina, who had no significant background?

This sparked other ambitions, as some thought that if they could secure a marriage alliance with someone of a strong background, with the support of such in-laws, they might compete with Jared Farrell for the headship of the family.

Nathaniel clearly harbored such thoughts, “She’s quite attractive, suitable for a fling, perhaps, but to bring home as a wife? Any sensible person born into our Farrell family would know that only daughters from esteemed families like the Ashbury Reeds are fit to marry into the Farrells.”

His gaze fell on Amber, who blushed coyly at him, and he ingratiatingly said, “Only someone like Amber is worthy of entering the doors of our Farrell family.”

“I wasn’t aware that our Farrell family had such rules!”

Before Nathaniel could continue using Tina to curry favor with Amber, Logan’s scornful chuckle erupted from Jared Farrell’s car.

“Nathaniel, did you come up with these rules yourself?!”

“Grandfather…” Nathaniel’s face paled, just as he saw Jared Farrell holding up his phone towards him, displaying Logan’s authoritative face.

He hadn’t expected Jared Farrell to call Logan.

“Did I permit you to go to Ensford?” Logan’s contemptuous gaze glanced at Amber. “Since you defied my wishes and went, you might as well not come back! A man who only knows how to live under a woman’s skirt doesn’t deserve to be in the Farrell family!”

“Grandfather!” Nathaniel was shocked. He couldn’t understand why Logan wasn’t supporting what seemed like a beneficial alliance with the Ashbury Reed family.

“Moreover, Tina is my personal choice, not some trivial plaything to be compared with!” Logan warned, “You better show her some respect!”

Amber, referred to as a “trivial plaything,” turned pale.

“Logan, what do you mean!” Emrys stepped up to defend Amber.

“You’re not even worthy to speak to me!” Logan didn’t even glance at Emrys.

Emrys’s expression darkened. Being a foster son of the Ashbury Reed family, he knew his place: Logan might greet him politely when in a good mood, but otherwise, he was unworthy of even approaching.

“Jared!” Logan then directed his ire at Jared Farrell, “Aren’t you even going to defend your own fiancee? You think you’re fit to marry Tina? Let me tell you, there are plenty of good men in the Farrell family. If you dare let Tina be wronged, I’ll replace you as her fiance!”

Jared Farrell grunted affirmatively, speaking calmly, “Nathan Lehman!”

He had no intention of letting Nathaniel off. He had called Logan because Tina often said, ‘If a problem can be solved by tattling, it’s no problem at all.’

So, he tattled!

Indeed!

A fine strategy!

“Yes!” Nathan Lehman had long disapproved of Nathaniel, who often provoked Jared Farrell. Given Logan’s mediation, he had restrained himself. But now, he could act without reservation.

Nathaniel was utterly confused. Earlier, he had egged Amber on to ram Jared Farrell’s car-a common tactic in Ashbury, usually settled by a few words from Logan.

But this time, Logan was furious.

“Nathan Lehman, you’re just Jared Farrell’s dog, dare to touch me and see!” Nathaniel still couldn’t believe Jared Farrell would go to extremes.

Nathan Lehman raised his hand, and suddenly five or six men appeared, seizing Nathaniel and dragging him into a nearby alley.

“Make sure to record it when you beat him,” Jared Farrell added leisurely, “I need to show grandfather.”

Thus, Nathaniel was dragged into the alley and severely beaten, with Nathan Lehman following Jared Farrell’s instructions to record the entire process.

“Jared Farrell! I’m your cousin! How could you do this for a mere woman…” Nathaniel groaned in pain.

Just as he started to curse at Tina again, Nathan Lehman reminded him, “Young master, this video is for the old master. If you keep insulting Miss Reed, the old master might not stop at just this beating.”

Nathaniel immediately shut his mouth, only muttering curses at Jared Farrell and Nathan Lehman, not daring to insult Tina further.

When Nathaniel was finally dragged out after the beating, Nathan Lehman kindly had him thrown onto Amber’s car.

Amber and Emrys were shocked and couldn’t recover. Amber feigned concern, “Nathaniel, are you alright?”

Nathaniel glanced at Amber, grunted, but was too pained to speak. He couldn’t believe Nathan Lehman had actually allowed the men to beat him mercilessly.

Yet, he thought of Amber, Logan seemed bewitched now, protecting that background-less Tina.

Once he won Amber over, Logan’s attitude would surely change. After all, Amber was the long-lost child of the Ashbury Reed family, dearly pitied by the Reed family for her years of suffering. They were all thinking of how to compensate her.

If he could marry Amber, the Reed family would surely help him oust Jared Farrell from his position as heir.

Amber outwardly showed concern for Nathaniel, but inwardly she was dismissive. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Jared Farrell.

She was now the most cherished daughter of the four great Ashbury families, the Reed family. Only someone like Jared Farrell was worthy of her, and only she could stand beside him. What was Nathaniel, and what was Tina in comparison?

Thinking this, she changed her expression to one very different from how she had treated Tina earlier, and spoke softly to Jared Farrell, “Mr. Farrell, I hit your car, so naturally, I should compensate you. Let’s exchange numbers to discuss the matter.”

Jared Farrell didn’t even bother to look at her. Nathan Lehman stepped forward to intercept her, “Sorry, but except for his wife, my master does not exchange numbers with other women-and dogs.”
