Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Liliosa noticed something sharp in Willow’s expression. “What’s wrong? Do you know each other?”

“We’ve met once before, and there was a bit of a misunderstanding.” Willow quickly regained her composure and smiled graciously at Tina. “I was rude last time, Miss Reed. I hope you don’t mind.”

She briefly explained the incident at the concert to Liliosa. Knowing Tina was Jasper’s daughter, Willow decided it was better to apologize first rather than create further conflict.

“I don’t mind,” Tina replied with a playful smile. “After all, we’re not that close!”

Willow’s smile froze, struggling to maintain her expression. Liliosa scolded, “Tina, given our family ties, you should call her ‘Aunt.’ What kind of attitude is this?”

Tina showed a hint of impatience. This person was really annoying! “Jasper, aren’t you going to say something to your daughter?” Liliosa continued, “If you hadn’t left Willow’s concert early, making her too embarrassed to come back to our house, she wouldn’t have rushed to the next city and gotten into an accident that injured her hand and ended her tour early!”

Annabelle and Jasper felt a bit guilty about leaving Willow’s concert early, but Willow had been acting out of line that day. Given the long-standing relationship between the Reed family and theirs, they felt they should have given Willow some face. They hadn’t expected her to have an accident on the way to the next city.

“Ha!” Tina put her hands in her pockets and looked at Willow with a smirk. “Ms. Ward couldn’t afford a hotel?”

Willow’s expression stiffened. “What do you mean?”

Tina lazily tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “You didn’t stay at a hotel and got into an accident; how is that the Reed family’s fault?”

Annabelle and Jasper suddenly realized Tina had a point. Even if Willow didn’t want to stay at their house, no one forced her to rush to the next city that day. The accident couldn’t be blamed on them.

Willow’s face turned ugly, a flash of malice in her eyes. This Tina was even more difficult than Amber! The news about her accident was fake; she had used it as an excuse to end her tour early because the incident at Ensford had been widely publicized online. If Tina weren’t Jared Farrell’s fiancee, Willow might have hired people to slander Tina online. But with Jared protecting Tina and knowing he was Mr. Daryl from Lily Ward, she didn’t dare smear Tina’s name.

So she accepted her agent’s suggestion to end the tour early, avoiding potential audience fears due to the Ensford incident affecting the remaining concerts. If that happened, it would be hard for her to hold concerts in the future, and few peers would want to collaborate with her.

She also wanted to make the Reed family feel guilty but didn’t expect Tina to expose her so quickly.

“You!” Liliosa glared at Tina angrily.

“It’s my own fault; how can I blame Jasper?” Willow quickly stopped Liliosa, though she sneered internally. Patience! When she became the mistress of the Reed family, Tina would come begging for favors.

She pulled Liliosa down beside her and changed the topic. Lily Ward also took a seat with her mother.

Griffin and Mack eagerly wanted to talk to Lily Ward, but she looked straight at Jared Farrell with a smile. “Mr. Farrell, we meet again.”

Jared Farrell glanced at her briefly before looking away with disdain. “Who are you?”

“I’m Lily Ward from TIC Research Institute.”

Lily Ward tried not to let her face twist in frustration; she couldn’t believe Jared didn’t recognize her again.

“Oh,” Jared remembered, frowning deeper. “Sorry! I’m face-blind when it comes to women.”

Not really! Mainly because she was too ugly for his eyes!

He needed to look at Tina quickly!

When Tina looked up, she met Jared’s eyes filled with obvious disdain for Lily Ward. She smiled brightly despite herself.

Jasper was stunned by her smile; it was the first time he’d seen Tina smile since they met. She looked so much like Natalie Whittaker!

Jared held Tina’s slender hand seriously. “My Tina is still the most beautiful!”

Tina thought: Though I don’t like people ogling you in front of me, must you be so blunt?

Jared’s gaze seemed to say: I’m just being honest; no one is as beautiful as my Tina.

Tina: Fine!

Lily Ward struggled to maintain her composure, clenching her fists in anger.

After a while, she hid her displeasure and asked with a smile, “Mr. Farrell, about that research…”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She wanted to discuss the project Jared had assigned her but his phone rang-it was Marie.

Jared paused and glanced at Tina.

Tina: ??

After two seconds of confusion, she remembered something and asked, “Did you forget Marie and Sophia in Ensford?”

“Uh,” Jared coughed awkwardly. “It wasn’t on purpose!”

Tina: You really are something!

As soon as he answered the call, Marie’s furious voice came through. “You brat! You left me and your sister in Ensford and went back to Ashbury yourself! Do you even care about your mother? And you took Tina with you when she promised to help me make a dress!”

Sophia’s aggrieved voice followed, “Brother, do you and Tina not like me anymore? Why did you leave us behind?”
