Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

At night, Moon Gate Estate.

The birthday banquet for Talon’s wife, Ivy, was held at Moon Gate Estate.

Though the Reed family was not as glorious as in the past, Elizabeth’s invitation still drew many celebrities to the party.

The banquet started at eight.

Tina and Hugo arrived at Moon Gate Estate at seven-thirty.

Numerous luxury cars were already parked outside the villa.

Inside the hall, Amber, clad in a haute couture gown, held a glass of red wine and greeted the guests. She stood tall and confident, her face beaming with a self-assured smile, as if she were the true daughter of the Reed family.

As soon as Tina and her group entered, Amber spotted them. Holding her wine glass, she approached with a polite and gentle greeting, “Dad, Mom, Tina, you’re here? Come in, most of the guests have arrived.”

She spoke with the tone of a hostess, “Make sure to eat plenty today.”

Hugo frowned, his expression souring.

Was she implying that they were poor and couldn’t afford fine food, suggesting they should take the opportunity to eat their fill today?

Jennie’s expression also darkened, but she didn’t say anything.

Amber, still smiling, turned to Tina, “By the way, Tina, Mr. Farrell will also be here tonight.”

Tina raised an eyebrow, “So?”

“Mr. Farrell really likes you. He originally wasn’t going to come, but he changed his mind when he knew you would be here,” Amber said, her face always wearing a proper and gentle smile, which to others seemed docile and sweet.

“Oh,” Tina responded nonchalantly, “Are you jealous?”

“What?” Amber was taken aback for a moment, not catching on immediately.

Tina’s lips curved into a mischievous smile, “If you like him, I can let you have him!”

Amber’s face stiffened, her expression nearly cracking, “Tina, you shouldn’t speak carelessly.”

Did she like Jared?

What a joke!

That loser!

How could he be worthy of her?

“If you don’t like him, you should watch your manners!” Tina said, her eyes lifting slightly, her tone even.

Amber choked, a hint of venom flashing through her eyes, quickly concealed.

Tina glanced at her and ignored her, preparing to follow Hugo and greet some acquaintances.

As she turned, a girl dressed like a punk came over. She looked at Tina with disdain, “Amber, who is she? Your friend? Why has she come to tonight’s birthday banquet dressed like that?”

This was Annie, the daughter of Pinewood.

She had always been arrogant and spent her days with a bunch of rich, idle youths.

Tina had been staying at her grandfather’s house during her time away, so Annie did not recognize Tina and just felt that her attire was far too shabby.

Tina glanced sideways and looked down at her own clothes: jeans, a white T-shirt, and sneakers. Was there a problem with her attire?

“Annie, don’t be rude, we are family,” Amber said in a low voice to the girl.

Annie looked at Tina with even more disdain, “So you’re Hugo’s long-lost daughter? Not very impressive. And you’re competing with Amber for a fiance, what were you thinking?”

Annie mostly stayed at her grandfather’s house and didn’t know much about the affairs of the Reed family.

But she admired Amber, seeing her as a celestial fairy, gentle and generous.

She had heard that the Farrell family’s son was to be engaged to Amber and was happy for her.

After all, it was the Farrell family!

So what if Jared was disabled?

The aura of the Farrell family was there. If Amber married into it, she would never have to worry about livelihood.

But who could have expected that Hugo would find Tina and the marriage arrangement with the Farrell family would fall upon Tina’s head? This ignited her fury.

Why should Tina come back and snatch Amber’s fiance?

She wouldn’t stand for it.

Upon hearing this, Amber’s face changed, and she quickly interjected, “Annie, stop! Mr. Farrell was originally Tina’s fiance, she didn’t snatch him.”

Annie just thought Amber was afraid of Tina and spoke righteously, “Amber, although you were adopted by Hugo, you are still a daughter of the Reed family, and even more excellent than her. You don’t need to be afraid of her. You should bravely pursue your happiness. Mr. Farrell was originally your fiance.”

At this, Hugo and Jennie’s expressions changed.

Tina watched Annie with interest.

Those nearby cast strange glances in their direction.

Amber’s face turned ugly.

Annie, this fool!

Did she really have to remind everyone in front of so many people that she was adopted?

And, who wantsto marry that invalid Jared!

Stupid!

Utterly foolish!

But she couldn’t show her annoyance and could only smile and explain, “You’re mistaken, I don’t have any thoughts about Mr. Farrell…”

Before she could finish, Annie cut her off, “Don’t make excuses for her. I know you’re just afraid to upset her, but I’m not! Amber, today I’ll stand up for you and get this marriage arrangement back for you.”

Amber was so angry she almost cracked her back teeth, “I…”

She was about to speak when Elena also chimed in, “Right, Amber, you’re so outstanding, why should you be afraid of a country bumpkin? She just got back and is already snatching your fiance, who knows what else she’ll take from you in the future. We all need to make her give back your fiance today.”

Previously, Elena had tried to frame Tina and was severely scolded by her parents when she got home.

Coming to the birthday party, her brother had repeatedly warned her to avoid provoking Tina if she encountered her.

She had kept away when she saw Tina arrive, but seeing Amber looking so aggrieved, she couldn’t help speaking up for her.

These people shared the same thought as Annie: Jared might be disabled, but he had a substantial family fortune and was adored by his grandfather. Marrying him would mean securing half of the Farrell family’s wealth a splendid marriage deal, yet it had been snatched by Tina?

Just because she was the first daughter of the Reed family?

Why should she?

“It’s not like that, Tina hasn’t…”

Amber, unable to bear it, tried to explain, but Tina suddenly smirked, a mocking smile on her lips, “Oh? You want to marry Jared? Why, just a moment ago when I asked, you said you didn’t like him?”

“I…”

Amber tried to speak, but Tina didn’t give her the chance to talk, “I said, if you want him, I’ll let him be yours…”

With that, Amber exclaimed urgently, “No! I don’t want to marry him!”

She was so hasty that her voice rose several notches.

Many people turned to look at them, and Amber felt indignant, her eyes welling up with tears, “Annie, Elena, stop talking. I have no intention of marrying Mr. Farrell, and Tina hasn’t snatched my fiance.”

This time her distress was genuine, not feigned. She truly felt aggrieved.

When had she ever been pushed to such a point that she couldn’t get a word in?

But Annie and Elena, thinking they were advocating for her, kept interrupting her, drawing everyone’s attention.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

If everyone took her side and ruined the marriage arrangement between Tina and Jared, it would infuriate her to death.

However, in Annie’s eyes, Amber’s aggrieved appearance was due to Tina’s bullying, which made her approach Tina furiously, “Don’t threaten Amber. What’s there for you to be arrogant about? Look at yourself, how do you compare to Amber?”

“She is Miss Ensford, an All-A student at Ensford High School, Dr. Ward’s apprentice, and she even saved Mr. Farrell’s sister a few days ago. Her kindness and beauty are known throughout Ensford. What right do you have to compete with her for a fiance?”
