Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Hugo had not been too sure about his suspicions, but seeing Elizabeth like this, his already chilled heart turned even colder.

“Mom, why pretend to be confused when you know the truth? Where did Amber get the money to hire these people to cause trouble? Can you honestly say you had no hand in this?”

“I don’t care about all that!” Elizabeth’s face twisted as she irrationally interrupted Hugo, “The point is that Tina instigated the Farrell family to do this, so she must solve it. She’s also a part of the Reed family!”

“Oh, Mom, what did you say when you first stopped me from acknowledging Tina? Now you admit she’s part of the Reed family?” Disappointment filled Hugo’s eyes as he looked at Elizabeth, “I won’t interfere with Tina’s decisions.”

In a daze, he remembered the hardships Rebecca and Tina had suffered in the Reed family and how they were eventually driven out.

His heart ached, and without giving Elizabeth a chance to argue further, he said coldly, “Mom, we’ve already severed ties. I came to see you today out of the bond of blood that remains between us. You gave birth to me, and even if our relationship is broken, you are still my mother. I cannot ignore your illness, but I’m not happy to be here, so I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, he turned and left without hesitation.

“This ungrateful child!” Elizabeth pounded the bed in anger, “Why didn’t I just strangle him at birth!”

“Mom, did you really send people to make trouble at Hugo’s house?” Pinewood asked.

In the past, Pinewood would have cheered on Elizabeth’s suppression of Hugo, but now, with the Reed family in such a dire state, his tone inevitably carried a hint of resentment.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Elizabeth remained silent.

“What do we do now?” Talon was the first to panic, his eyes red, “Tina refuses to see Mom, and the Farrell family doesn’t give us the time of day, let alone beg them for mercy! We finally got the formula from Hugo, we were about to return to our former glory, and now it’s all ruined!”

Elizabeth was about to speak when she heard footsteps outside the hospital room, and she let out a cold laugh, “You still know to come back…”

The door was pushed open, but she was stunned to see a middle-aged woman dressed in a white linen suit with a beautiful appearance.

Elizabeth was overjoyed, “Orchid! You’ve returned home!”

“Mom.” Orchid, carrying fruit, walked in and frowned at the water and thermos on the floor, “What happened? I just got back and heard there’s been trouble at home, and you’re hospitalized?”

Orchid was Elizabeth’s only daughter, who had moved to Australia with her husband ten years ago and seldom returned.

Elizabeth had always adored her only daughter, and now, seeing Orchid amidst her fury, her eyes immediately welled up with sour tears.

“It’s all because of that Tina and her father’s doing!”

“Tina is really back?”

Orchid was surprised, as she had been distressed every time she thought of Rebecca and Tina being expelled from the Reed family. She had come back this time after hearing about the situation, wanting to see her niece she had always cared for.

“Hugo should never have brought back that scourge!” Elizabeth said hatefully.

Orchid’s brow furrowed slightly and she carefully asked about the whole story.

Although Elizabeth and the Pinewood brothers exaggerated and were biased, Orchid still made her own judgment.

Her usually gentle voice grew stern, “The fault lies clearly with Amber. Since she did wrong, she should clarify and apologize. Where is she? You cherish her so much, how come she’s not here taking care of you while you’re sick?”

At Ensford High School.

After lunch, Tina and Jared went to Ensford High School.

Upon arrival, Tina was immediately surrounded by Amber’s supporters.

“Tina, have you no shame? Not only did you steal Amber’s wedding, but now you want to take credit for curing Miss Woodham!”

“Yeah, and you call yourself a teacher, using your status to steal your own sister’s credit. Do you have any professional ethics at all?”

“Exactly…”

The students of Class 22D, however, stood united on Tina’s side.

Albert had long regarded Tina as his idol and could not stand anyone bad-mouthing her. He immediately retorted angrily, “Nonsense, do you all not have a brain? Whatever Amber says is true? Do you also think her farts smell good?”

Velma also snorted coldly, “Exactly, all we’ve heard is one side of the story from Amber! The Fanning family has already issued a statement saying that Amber did not cure Miss Woodham and almost killed herinstead. If it hadn’t been for Miss Reed, she would be a murderer now!”

The Fanning family had indeed issued a statement at the first opportunity to clear Tina’s name.

But netizens, influenced by Amber’s post, did not believe the Fanning family’s statement, considering it a ploy to curry favor with Tina.

And clearly, this group of high school students shared the same belief.

Sure enough, someone immediately retorted, “Pah, aren’t the Fanning family’s words also one-sided? It’s obvious the Fanning family is eyeing Tina’s status and connections with the Farrell family, so they’re framing Amber to curry favor with the Farrells!”

“Exactly, Amber is Dr. Ward’s prized student, even if she couldn’t cure someone, she wouldn’t nearly kill them! The Fanning family’s statement is full of holes!”

“Some people said Miss Farrell was cured by Tina, but that might just be a lie, just Jared trying to gild his fiancee’s image.”

At that moment, Amber approached, looking at Tina and Jared, she suppressed the fierceness in her eyes, and then put on a pitiful expression, “Tina, I’ve always let you have your way in the past, but this time, I can’t anymore. You have to give me an explanation.”

Tina’s lips curled slightly, her hands in her pockets, and she looked at Amber with a mocking smile, “Are you still living in a dream?”

The Reed family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and this lady was asking her for an explanation?

Has she lost her mind?

Amber was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

Just then, a classmate pulled Amber aside and handed her a phone, “Amber, there’s trouble with the Reed family.”

Amber took the phone with confusion, and as she saw the news of the Reed family’s troubles and Elizabeth’s hospitalization, her eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at her, then shouted furiously, “Tina! It was clearly you who did wrong, I could forgive you if you just apologized, but instead…”

Amber glanced at Jared, “You rely on the Farrell family to suppress the Reed family, you think you can support the sky with one hand? How long do you think you can rely on the Farrell family?”

“Heh~” Tina laughed softly, why did everyone think that she was relying on the Farrell family?

Her lips curled into a mocking smile, “Is it bad to rely on the Farrell family? They back me up so I can do what I want. You wish you could rely on them, but you can’t. Tell me, are you annoyed?”

“Sure you are!” Velma suddenly slapped her thigh, playing along enthusiastically, “How can you not be annoyed!”
