Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Garrett still couldn’t believe it. He glanced at Jasper and hurriedly said, “Big brother, won’t you say something? Wasn’t it you who had the paternity test done? You even showed it to us, and it conclusively established a parent-child relationship. Tina has suffered so much over the years, and now that Lily has returned, she’s been wronged again. If she’s wronged in this matter, she’ll feel no more affection for the Reed family.”

Jasper turned his head to look at Tina, who sat in a chair, appearing calm and composed throughout. It seemed that such shocking news was hardly worth mentioning to her! She was not just like Natalie; she surpassed Natalie!

After a moment of silence, Jasper spoke in a low voice, “Mom! Don’t spout nonsense, Tina is my daughter!” Although, in his heart, he knew the answer was that Tina was not his biological daughter. But the result stood as it was! Ten paternity tests all confirmed their parent-child relationship. And the result of the eleventh was still pending. This time, he had employed the Ice Flame organization, a network spanning the globe, to find out whether Tina truly was his daughter!

Tina met his gaze and smiled-a smile profound and inscrutable!

Meanwhile, Annabelle was frantic, “No! She is not! Even though I don’t know why the paternity test shows that Tina and you have a parent-child relationship, I know she is not your daughter! She doesn’t look like you at all! Look at Lily, her eyebrows, eyes, nose, they all look like you!”

In fact, she had secretly conducted many paternity tests! But likewise, the results still confirmed a parent-child relationship between Jasper and Tina. She didn’t understand why the results were such! Her intuition told her Tina was not Jasper’s biological daughter, and her intuition was never wrong!

This was why, when she learned that Liliosa intended to steal Jasper’s sperm for Willow, she secretly helped. Willow was not at all her idea of a suitable daughter-in-law. But at that time, it was the best plan. Only if Willow bore Jasper’s child, and she drugged Natalie and arranged for someone to sleep with her, could Natalie be driven away. Everything had been planned flawlessly.

However, unexpectedly, Jasper decided to get engaged to Natalie! In a fit of anger, Willow married Ethan. Her plan disrupted, she could only watch their engagement helplessly, waiting for a chance to completely drive Natalie away!

Shockingly, on the day of the wedding, Natalie ran away? The wedding did not proceed, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but she feared Natalie’s return. Thus, she actively joined Jasper in searching for Natalie, but to no avail, only to suddenly learn that Natalie had been pregnant when she left.

Her face darkened at that moment. Regardless of whether the child was Jasper’s, she could not allow her to return to the Reed family! She had calculated every possibility, guarded against every eventuality, but had neither anticipated nor imagined that Tina could be Natalie’s child!

Had she known it would come to this, she would never have clung to Tina, sending her back to Ashbury.

Jasper glanced at Lily, his eyes full of disdain, but his voice left no room for doubt, “Enough said, Tina is my daughter, and I do not wish to hear any more questioning of her identity!” With that, he looked at Lily again, his disdain even more pronounced.

What use was resemblance? In terms of intelligence, cunning, and tactics, none could compare to Tina! Even her schemes could be exposed on the spot, leading to the current situation!

Tina and Jared had accounts to settle, and this was only the first matter. Whether it would extend to Lily, they would have to wait and see. If not for her usefulness to him, he would deem even a glance at her as filthy.

Jasper glanced around solemnly at everyone before fixing his gaze on Annabelle. “Mom! From now on, you’re going to live in the temple and focus on your spiritual practices. Don’t worry about the household affairs anymore; the stewardship will be handled by your sister-in-law.”

Annabelle’s face fell. “What? You want to strip me of my stewardship?”

Jasper looked at her indifferently, his voice cold. “You’re old! It’s time for you to enjoy some peace.”

“No!” Annabelle roared, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! You’re doing this because of Natalie, aren’t you? But everything I did was for your good, Jasper. Someone of Natalie’s status is simply not suitable for you!”

Though she said this, she had to admit that the Natalie she had initially looked down upon turned out to be a formidable person during their subsequent search.

The network of influence she had built was something not even ten Reed families could match.

Yet Annabelle was still not content because Natalie had taken the place she had wanted for her future daughter-in-law.

Her preferred daughter-in-law was not Willow but Logan’s youngest daughter, Simone.

Of course, her wish for Jasper to marry Simone was not out of fondness for the woman but because she wanted Simone to suffer in the Reed family.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Only the suffering of this woman’s only daughter could appease her years of resentment!

Unfortunately, after that incident years ago, Logan had cut ties with Simone, who had left Ashbury and had not been heard from since. The Farrell family had since ceased to mention her.

Thus, her dislike for Natalie was not solely because of the woman’s status but because Natalie had interfered, preventing the marriage between Simone and Jasper that she had almost managed to arrange.

“I’ll have your belongings packed and have you escorted out immediately,” Jasper said with a furrowed brow and an unpleased expression.

She was utterly stubborn.

Couldn’t she see that he was trying to help her?

Did she really think she, or the Reed family, could compete with Tina?

Natalie was formidable, so Tina couldn’t possibly be a nobody.

She had uncovered the events of the past; naturally, she could uncover other things too. Even with his capabilities, some things simply couldn’t be concealed.

“Mr. Reed!” Jared said coolly, giving him a glance, his tone neither cold nor warm, “What’s the rush? The accounts haven’t been settled yet. It’s better to settle these accounts in the presence of the old lady. Her future isn’t for you to decide.”

As he finished speaking, he turned to look at Tina. “Right, Tina?”

Tina smiled slyly. “Uncle’s absolutely right!”

Having support felt pretty good!

She could now mess things up without worry!

And watch the expressions on certain faces change continuously.

Indeed, it was quite the spectacle!

Much better than the muscle-bound men Juliet had made her watch!

Jasper frowned, looking toward Tina, “Tina…”

Before he could continue, Tina spoke to Jared, “Uncle, let’s settle the accounts of the gambling stones and the banquet later. First, let’s address the matter of the ten lives Mrs. Reed is accused of.”

Her voice was slow and leisurely. Lily, standing opposite, found Tina’s nonchalant demeanor irritating.

She couldn’t help but say, “Tina, that’s enough! No matter what, Grandma is your elder. You’re being too harsh!”

Tina raised an eyebrow, turned to Jared with a mischievous look, and asked, “Uncle, Miss Ward seems eager to settle accounts. Should we hold off on Grandma Reed’s issue and settle hers first?”

Jared smiled, “No rush! Let’s take it one at a time. The criminal investigation team and the bureau are waiting outside. Once the accounts are settled, they’ll also have a place to go.”
