Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

James Heart glared with such intensity it seemed he might devour someone. His family’s beloved Serena, a woman who could make flowers bloom with her smile, had been whisked away by a brazen man! And he had been none the wiser. Hugo couldn’t quite grasp why the news of his daughter’s engagement had thrown James Heart into such a rage. Who was this Serena? Did Tina know her?

Seeing Hugo speechless, James Heart, desperate for answers, grabbed his arm and squeezed tightly. “Who is Serena engaged to?” he demanded. Hugo winced from the pain, but given James Heart’s position as the chairman, he reluctantly replied, “Jared Farrell!”

“Jared Farrell? What kind of name is that? Whose brat is he?” James Heart’s eyes seemed to spit fire. Hugo was silent. Didn’t the chairman know that Jared Farrell was Logan’s most cherished grandson? Apparently not. Frustrated by Hugo’s silence, James Heart waved his hand dismissively, “Never mind, I’ll find out myself!”

Storming back to his office, James Heart summoned his assistant. “Look up Jared Farrell for me. I want every detail you can find-where he’s from, his background, everything,” he ordered coldly. The assistant blinked in surprise. “Are you referring to Jared Farrell, the former fiance of Tina Reed from the Reed family of Ensford?”

The once prosperous Reed family of Ensford had long since fallen into bankruptcy. “You know Tina?” James Heart asked, startled. “Of course, everyone in the Ensford elite circle knows about Tina and Jared Farrell,” the assistant remarked, puzzled by his boss’s sudden interest. Was it possible they had crossed the chairman?

James Heart’s expression darkened. It seemed everyone knew about Tina and Jared Farrell except him. He tapped his fingers on his expensive desk, eyes narrowing, “Tell me everything you know about them.”

“Tina is Hugo Reed’s daughter. Jared Farrell is the seventh son of the Ashbury Farrell family. He used to be disabled, but somehow recovered. He was supposed to be engaged to Miss Ensford, Amber Reed. But after Hugo found Miss Tina Reed, Jared’s fiancee became her. It’s said that Tina, having been raised in the countryside, was not well-regarded by Mrs. Reed, leading to some incidents. There used to be videos online, but they disappeared. The real break with the Reed family happened when…”

The assistant hesitated, sensing his boss’s growing coldness, and stepped back before continuing, “Miss Woodham was disfigured in a car accident. Mrs. Woodham had Miss Amber Reed treat her, but Amber nearly killed her. It was Tina who cured her, yet Amber claimed the credit, infuriating Jared Farrell. The Farrell family retaliated, and the Reed family went bankrupt.”

“Not sure if it was directly the Farrells’ doing, but that’s the talk,” the assistant added. “Later, Amber accused Hugo of rape and other crimes until Tina produced evidence that disproved all accusations. It was quite the scandal, covered by major media. Didn’t you know?”

James Heart clenched his teeth, fury evident on his face. “That Amber!” he hissed. His days were too filled with work to follow such gossip. And now, Serena, always discreet, had become a sensation in Ensford. His eyes flickered with malice, “What happened to that Amber?”

“She was recently acknowledged by the Ashbury Reed family as Jasper Reed’s long-lost daughter!” the assistant revealed. James scoffed, “Lucky her.” Leaning back, he tapped his phone and sent out a message to a long-silent group chat. “Serena’s been tricked by some jerk! She’s getting engaged!”

The group exploded with responses. Friends vowed various dramatic retaliations, each more severe than the last. “Ensford!” James finally posted. “All hands on deck! Coordinates: Ensford!”

On the highway to Ashbury, Hayden Cohen stared at his phone in disbelief. It took him a moment to react, and when he did, he stood up so fast his head spun. “What the hell?” Jared Farrell, glanced over, “What’s gotten into you?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Damn! My Serena’s in Ensford!” Hayden exclaimed, his excitement palpable, “I had no idea she was there, and now some jerk’s tricked her into getting engaged!” His eyes blazed with fury. “Once I’m done here, I’m heading to Ensford to deal with that jerk!”

Nathan Lehman, driving, glanced in the rearview mirror, “Isn’t it good that Serena is getting married?”

“You don’t get it!” Hayden snapped back, “Serena is our goddess! A goddess must not be tainted!” He ground his teeth, already imagining ways to torment the unsuspecting fiance. Jared Farrell just looked on, his ear inexplicably warming at the absurdity unfolding around him.
