Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 157: The Golden Girl of the Ashbury Reed Family



Amber’s face darkened with anger.

“They treat me like a dog?” she thought indignantly.

She glared coldly at Nathan Lehman. “What are you to stop me!” she snapped.

She tried to pull open the car door next to Jared Farrell to reach for his hand. Previously, she would never have dared to do such a thing to Jared Farrell, but now, as the daughter of the Ashbury Reed family, she felt a newfound confidence. She believed that even Jared Farrell would have to give face to the Ashbury Reed family.

With this thought, her courage surged.

But just as her hand touched the car door, it swung open from inside, and she was abruptly kicked away by Jared Farrell.

Amber fell to the ground, feeling as though every bone in her body was shattered. Tears filled her eyes as she looked up at Jared Farrell with a mix of pain and betrayal. “Mr. Farrell…”

“Amber!” Emrys was furious, his eyes nearly bursting as he charged at Jared Farrell, ready to strike. “Jared Farrell, how dare you hurt her! I’ll kill you!”

But before he could even touch Jared Farrell, the men who had been dealing with Nathaniel blocked him, pinning him to the ground.

“Jared Farrell! Fight me one-on-one if you dare!” Emrys’s face was pressed against the ground, deformed with anger, as he continued to shout defiantly.

Jared Farrell didn’t even spare him a glance. He calmly adjusted the cuffs of his suit and said indifferently to Nathan Lehman, “The car is dirty, get me another one.”

Nathan nodded, “Yes.”

He quickly took out his phone and called for another car.

Soon, a new car arrived.

Jared Farrell took Tina’s hand and got into the car, giving Nathan a fleeting look, his tone flat, “If you can’t handle things properly, don’t you ever show up in front of me again!”

Nathan shuddered, “Yes.”

He immediately called for a tow truck, which came and towed away Amber’s sports car, with Nathaniel still barely inside.

“What are you doing?” Amber, shocked and in pain, struggled to her feet and tried to stop them. “That’s my car!”

“I am still in the car!” Nathaniel screamed in terror, trying to jump out.

The tow truck driver ignored them and dragged the car away to a scrapyard.

“Mr. Farrell!” Amber suddenly realized this was all Jared Farrell’s doing and switched to a pitiful tone she had often used before, “You’re being too harsh-”

Tina hadn’t seen Amber acting so weak and vulnerable for a long time and watched her with a sense of distant curiosity.

Jared Farrell, however, didn’t even bother to glance at her.

Nathan Lehman drove directly into the school, the exhaust fumes engulfing Emrys, who was still pinned to the ground, cursing angrily.

In the school parking lot, Nathan reported to Jared Farrell about recent developments.

“A month ago, Elizabeth came to the Ashbury Reed family, claiming that Amber was Jasper Reed’s daughter, lost outside the family. Once the Reed family heard the news, they immediately sent someone to bring Amber to Ashbury.”

“Jasper? I thought he was never married. How come he has a daughter?” Jared Farrell frowned.

“Jasper Reed had a girlfriend he loved deeply over a decade ago,” Nathan replied. “They were planning to get married when she suddenly disappeared. Jasper has been looking for her all these years without success until they found Amber, the child she bore him.”

“Are you sure she’s his biological daughter?” Jared Farrell leaned back in the leather seat, tapping his fingers slowly against the car window.

“A paternity test was done,” Nathan confirmed. “With Amber’s skills, there’s no way she could tamper with the test results under the watchful eyes of the Ashbury Reed family.”

Tina sat silently beside them, listening.

The Ashbury Reed family?

Interesting. No wonder Amber was so confident today, having become the golden girl of one of the Ashbury’s four great families, the Reeds.

“Spread the word about all the things Amber did in Ensford to Ashbury,” Jared Farrell commanded in a deep voice. “Let every noble household in Ashbury know, and don’t bother saving face for the Reed family.”

Nathan complied immediately.

Thinking Amber would be too ashamed to come to school after such a public humiliation, they were surprised when she, undeterred and without even visiting a hospital, followed Jared Farrell’s men into the school.

By the time Tina and Jared Farrell reached the faculty office, news of Amber’s return had spread throughout the school.

And Amber’s return to school was anything but low-key. In less than half a day, everyone knew she had transformed into the golden girl of the Ashbury Reed family, with Emrys actinglike her personal bodyguard throughout.

Regarding this Emrys, Tina had heard a few things from Nathan. Apparently, Emrys was once a street child, saved by Jasper Reed’s missing girlfriend, and later adopted by the Ashbury Reed family.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Thus, Emrys was deeply grateful to Amber’s mother and swore to protect Amber forever, shadowing her like a guardian angel.

No matter how outrageous Amber’s actions were, Emrys not only turned a blind eye but sometimes even assisted her.

Tina wasn’t overly concerned, as long as Amber and Emrys didn’t bother her, she preferred to ignore them.

However, during a break in the afternoon, Tina and Jared Farrell inadvertently passed by Amber’s class and noticed a crowd gathered around. In the center, Elena Heisler stood crying, a red handprint visible on her left cheek.

Amber was in Emrys’s arms, sobbing dramatically, weakly accusing Elena Heisler, “Elena, I’ve let go of the past, now that I’m back, why do you still target me?”

She seemed even more pitiable than Elena Heisler, who had just been slapped.

Tina stepped forward, approaching Elena, and asked, “Who did this?”

Elena Heisler remained silent, her eyes angry yet fearful as she glanced at Emrys.

Tina looked up at Emrys.

Seeing Jared Farrell behind Tina, Emrys remembered his recent humiliation and the resentment of having kicked Amber. Although he suspected Jared’s men might still be nearby, he restrained himself from acting out, his expression icy as he spoke to Tina, “She just pushed Amber down. I was merely teaching her a lesson.”

He didn’t feel he had done anything wrong. “If you teachers can’t manage your students, then it’s up to us family members to protect our children.”

“I didn’t!” Elena Heisler protested, covering her swollen cheek with her hand, tears in her eyes. “Amber fell on her own and blamed it on me!”

“You dare to lie! Amber’s arm was broken!” Emrys said coldly. “Besides, why would she falsely accuse you?”

“Amber has a history of framing others,” Tina said, her gaze meaningful as she looked towards Amber in Emrys’s arms.
