Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Class 22D erupted in cheers, while the students of Class 22A, especially the four boys who competed, felt utterly humiliated. Emrys stood with a look of frustration, his agitation spiked when he saw Amber running towards Jared Farrell, who sat leisurely on a resting chair. “Mr. Farrell, you must be tired after all that playing. Have some water. Tina really should have been the one to consider your needs, not just her own,” Amber said as she twisted open a bottle of mineral water.

Tina looked at Amber with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile. Jared Farrell, without even glancing up, casually kicked a basketball at Amber’s feet, causing her to trip and fall, drenching herself with the water.

“Amber!” Emrys rushed to her aid.

“Why do you always have to be like this to me?” Amber said, her eyes not hiding her resentment towards Mr. Farrell.

“That ball, keep it away from me. It’s filthy,” Jared Farrell spoke indifferently to Albert Sitwell, who promptly had the ball thrown into the trash, making a show of it in front of Amber to stress their disdain.

“Jared Farrell, you’re going too far!” Emrys stood up for Amber.

“You should apologize to Elena Heisler and Hendrik Stiller first!” Velma Lehman pointed at Emrys, accusing him. The last gym class had been marred by injuries caused by Emrys, further igniting the class’s anger against him.

“I didn’t lose! It was my teammates who were too weak!” Emrys protested, his face showing defiance.

The boys from Class 22A turned pale, but Emrys, undeterred, challenged Jared Farrell. “Let’s have another match. Just you and me. Whoever scores more wins!”

Jared Farrell gave Emrys a dismissive look, as if observing a mere jester. “You don’t dare?”

Emrys, his eyes bloodshot from days of frustration and repeated setbacks, nearly lost his composure. “Mr. Farrell, play him! Beat him thoroughly!” the students of Class 22D spurred on Jared.

Jared’s eyes barely lifted, his fingers casually adjusting his shirt. After a moment, his lips curled into a slight, cold smile. “Then-let’s play!”

“How do we decide who starts, toss a coin or shoot for it?” Emrys asked.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“No need, I’ll let you start,” Jared Farrell said, tossing the ball to Emrys. Embracing the Reed family’s ruthless ethos, Emrys accepted, though awkwardly.

But he was unaware that his nightmare was just beginning. As he dribbled trying to break through Jared’s defense, he didn’t even see how Jared stole the ball and, before he could react, hit him squarely in the face with it.

“Are you playing the man or the ball?” Emrys shouted, clutching his face in pain.

“Both!” Jared replied nonchalantly, clearly not considering Emrys a threat.

Refusing to back down, Emrys continued his attack, but with the same result-his efforts were futile, and the ball smacked into his nose.

After several exchanges, battered and bruised, Emrys was still determined to make Jared kneel before him. However, his defiance only resulted in Jared intensifying his attacks, eventually leading to Emrys’s capitulation.

“I give up! I give up!” Emrys cried out, his leg possibly broken under Jared’s relentless force.

Jared, his demeanor unchanged, demanded, “Kneel! Apologize!”

With no other option, Emrys knelt. “I’m sorry, Elena. Sorry, Tina. I shouldn’t have hit you with the ball.”

After the students of Class 22D recorded the apology, Emrys attempted to get up, only for Jared to knock him down again, rendering him unconscious.

Amber screamed for Emrys, but instead of confronting Jared, she turned to Tina. “Tina, you’ve gone too far. My father won’t let you get away with this!”

Tina scoffed, clearly unconcerned, and left with Jared and their classmates, leaving behind Emrys and a resentful Amber.

The incident caused an uproar among the parents, and the board had no choice but to expel Emrys. But expulsion was the least of his worries, as the injuries sustained in his final showdown with Jared left him bedridden, unable to move.

Despite thorough medical examinations, no physical injuries could be detected immediately. Only Tina knew why-Jared had used a secret technique taught by her mother that damaged the nerves and bones invisibly, a fact that would only become apparent and more severe if left untreated.
