Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The crowd fell silent, all eyes on Amber Reed’s suddenly pale face. Even her cronies were stunned, unsure if they should continue following her script.

“Mr. Farrell, what do you mean by that?” Jasper Reed frowned. Although he didn’t particularly like Amber, she was still his daughter, and he couldn’t allow anyone to tarnish her reputation.

“Mr. Reed, you don’t know?” Jared Farrell, with one arm around Tina and the other in his pocket, looked at him mockingly. “Your daughter was found to be pregnant at the city hospital more than half a month ago.”

Amber’s face turned even paler, and her right hand instinctively moved to her abdomen. She had spent a lot of money to keep her hospital visit a secret and couldn’t understand how Jared Farrell knew.

She had initially wanted to terminate the pregnancy as soon as she found out, but with exams just over a week away, she feared that post-surgery recovery would affect her future chances of conceiving. So, she decided to wait until after the exams.

After the exams, the Reed family, unable to secure Spectre’s services, invited someone from one of the four major families in the capital, the Ward family, to treat Emrys.

The Ward family was renowned for their medical expertise. Among the younger generation, two people stood out: Ethan Ward and his daughter Lily Ward. Lily was a medical prodigy who focused on modern medicine, unlike her family who specialized in traditional medicine. Despite this, her exceptional talent and numerous high-impact publications and awards earned her a reputation in the medical field.

Initially, the Ward family was unhappy with Lily’s departure from traditional medicine. However, her research team developed several patents that brought significant benefits to the family, silencing their objections. Even younger family members were allowed to follow her into modern medicine.

The Reed family had invited Lily Ward to treat Emrys. Audrey Woodwind, who had some personal ties with Lily, was sent by the Reed family to accompany her to Ensford.

Since arriving in Ensford, Audrey had been keeping a close watch on Amber, preventing her from terminating the pregnancy. Amber had suspected that Lily’s medical skills were so advanced that she might have noticed something and informed Audrey. She had been living in constant fear that the Reed family would discover her secret, but she never expected Jared Farrell to expose it so ruthlessly in public.

“Amber?” Jasper wanted to get to the bottom of this but decided it was better to handle it privately. “Come home with me,” he said.

Unexpectedly, one of Amber’s cronies blurted out, “Amber, could the baby be Mr. Farrell’s? Otherwise, why would your bracelet fall from his pocket?”

The crony then foolishly addressed Jared Farrell, “Mr. Farrell, you can’t just walk away after getting Amber pregnant!”

Jared shot a cold glance at the crony, who immediately fell silent under his icy stare. However, the surrounding crowd began whispering among themselves, with many seemingly convinced by the crony’s words.

“Do you think I’m that easy to fool?” Jared sneered at Amber. “I don’t mind waiting until you’re seven weeks pregnant for a DNA test. We can also publicly announce it and help find the real father for your child!”

Amber’s eyes widened in terror as she looked at Jared like he was a demon. There was no way she could go through with a DNA test or let him investigate the child’s father. The baby was undoubtedly conceived on that day in Southridge. If it were discovered that the father was a mentally ill person, all her past sufferings would be exposed, ruining her reputation and future.

“Dad!” Amber clutched Jasper’s hand tightly. “I’m not feeling well; let’s go home.”

Jasper glanced at Jared Farrell. He suspected that Jared knew something about the baby’s father but decided not to let him say anything more in public for the sake of the family’s reputation. “Let’s go home and discuss this,” he said to Amber.

Amber felt a chill in her heart. She knew that once they got home, the Reed family would question her thoroughly about the baby’s origin. She needed to come up with a plausible story quickly. She cast a resentful glance at Jared Farrell before discreetly sending a few text messages.

Jared watched coldly as Jasper led Amber away when Tina suddenly spoke up from his embrace. “You seem very concerned about her. You even know how many weeks she’s pregnant.”

For some reason, Tina’s calm tone carried an undercurrent of menace that Jared couldn’t ignore.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nathan Lehman,” he immediately called Nathan Lehman on his phone. “Make sure Amber Reed’s scandal doesn’t get covered up!”

“Understood, Mr. Farrell,” Nathan replied.

After hanging up, Jared looked at Tina and noticed that the menacing aura had disappeared. He couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly-his Tina could be quite jealous!

To facilitate Amber’s schooling in Ensford, Jasper had repurchased the old house Elizabeth had sold to pay off debts. Annabelle and others had returned to the capital but came back to celebrate Amber’s graduation at her request.

Amber and Jasper hadn’t even reached home when Audrey Woodwind jumped up from the sofa where she was scrolling through her phone. “Grandma, Mom, come look! Amber is on Ensford’s headlines again!”

Garrett and Damian were startled by her outburst. “What headline is Amber on now?”

Annabelle and Esther were arranging flowers together when they heard this and frowned. Esther told Audrey to calm down. “What’s so shocking about this headline?”

“Look! Amber is pregnant!” Audrey handed over her phone indignantly. “She’s only eighteen and just graduated high school! She’s brought shame to our family!”

“How could this be?” Esther looked skeptically at Audrey’s phone video. “Amber always seemed so well-behaved; it must be fake news.”

Annabelle put on her reading glasses and looked at Audrey’s phone without saying a word. Garrett and Damian also pulled out their phones to check Ensford’s news on Weibo.

The news video showed Amber deliberately dropping her bracelet at Jared Farrell’s feet. Then it showed her crony fabricating a story about an illicit relationship between Amber and Jared, only for Jared to publicly expose Amber’s unwed pregnancy.
