Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

“It’s just an investment. As long as Amber doesn’t have to marry Jared, there are plenty of ways to pull in investments.”

Elizabeth’s eyes lifted slightly, filled with calculation.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She pressed Tina to marry Jared not only for the Farrell family’s investment.

It was even more to protect Amber.

Amber was her carefully cultivated protegee, into whom she had poured considerable manpower and financial resources, to turn her into the focus of all Ensford.

In the future, the benefits Amber would bring to the Reed family would be substantial, and she would not let Amber marry Jared no matter what.

Although Logan Farrell doted on his grandson Jared, he was disabled, and with three uncles and numerous cousins above him, how much could a disabled person inherit when the family fortune was divided?

So even with a marriage alliance, the immediate benefits the Farrell family could bring to the Reed family were minimal, while Amber was a stable investment.

Fearing any disruption to the marriage contract with the Farrell family, she forced Tina to get engaged to Jared.

Theft, for a prestigious family, was a disgrace; naturally, the Farrell family would no longer want her.

Thus, the marriage would logically be canceled, and it would save Elizabeth the trouble of having to deal with Tina’s return.

This was also why she approved of Amber’s plan.

After pondering for a moment, Elizabeth said to Amber, “Go to the media, leak this story.”

Amber was stunned, “But this will have a big impact on the Reed family too.”

Miss Reed is a thief, what will outsiders say about the Reed family?

This was a lose-lose move.

“It doesn’t matter, her mother had an affair and ran away with her, the Reed family is the victim.” Elizabeth sat on an expensive custom chair, her aged eyes cold and indifferent.

Amber paused, then smiled, “I understand, Grandma.”

EFPD Crime Unit.

Tina leaned back in the interrogation chair, legs crossed. The table in front of her was piled with cell phones that law enforcement couldn’t fit anymore.

In the quiet interrogation room, the phone rang incessantly.

The two law enforcement officers who brought her in were sweating profusely, extremely nervous.

Seeing her not answering the phone, one of them kindly suggested, “Miss Tina Reed, the phone has been ringing for so long, maybe-you should answer it?”

Tina’s eyes lifted slightly, her lips curved in a half-smile, “Sorry, I’m a law-abiding citizen, remembering your words, to hand over my phone, to cooperate with the investigation.”

The law enforcement officer, “…”

He felt like crying.

By normal procedures, indeed, he had done nothing wrong.

Someone reported Tina for theft, a property worth five million dollars, they brought the suspect in for interrogation, and confiscated the phones, all within normal procedures, not making things difficult for Tina.

But who knew, just after they brought Tina in, their captain’s office phone rang.

Since Andrew wasn’t there, they answered.

The result-scared them half to death!

A series of calls, all from government heads, all inquiring about a woman named Tina Reed being arrested.

After he truthfully reported, he was scolded terribly, told to release her immediately.

But as he was about to let Tina go, she wouldn’t leave.

She seemed glued to the chair, immovable by several people.

Helpless, he had to call back the higher-ups to report Tina Reed’s situation.

They told him to give the phone to Tina, but she simply wouldn’t take the call.

The law enforcement officer, embarrassed, smiled, “Well-we’ve already cleared things up, you haven’t stolen Mrs. Heisler’s bracelet, you can go now, we’re all quite busy, and your stay here isn’t good.”

“I think it’s quite nice here, quiet.” Tina leaned on the chair, indifferent, “I did steal Mrs. Heisler’s bracelet, why don’t you check again? Maybe you missed some evidence?”

The law enforcement officer, “…”

Who insists on staying in an interrogation room?

The key issue was, with her not leaving, they couldn’t explain themselves.

Hospital.

After Jared finished eating with Sophia, his assistant Nathan hurried in.

He glanced at Mrs. Brown and Sophia, then whispered to Jared, “Miss Reed has been arrested.”

Jared’s deep eyes narrowed, “What happened?”

“Half an hour ago, the media reported that Miss Reed was taken away by the EFPD Crime Unit for stealing a bracelet worth five million dollars…” Nathan went through the investigation details with Jared.

Jared’s expression turned grim, a chill emanating from him, and he wheeled out, “Let’s go have a look.”

Pinkwater Alley.

Amber sipped the water Elena had turned upside down, her gaze darkening, “Elena, did my sister really steal your mother’s bracelet?”

“My mother’s bracelet wasn’t lost at all, I did it on purpose,” Elena said with a smile.

“Ah?” Amber looked incredulous, “You… Why would you do that?”

“It was for you,” Elena explained, “I’ve noticed you’ve been down lately, is it because of that Miss Reed who came back from the countryside?”

Amber pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

“I figured she must be bullying you, so I wanted to teach her a lesson this time.”

Amber, with tears in her eyes, took Elena’s hand, “Elena, I’m touched that you would do this for me, but please ask your brother to let her go, after all, she is Miss Reed, and the Reed family has been good to me.”

“You are just too kind,” Elena said irritably, “People like Tina need to be taught a lesson, to not think that just because she’s Miss Reed, she can walk all over you.”

After a pause, Elena continued, “But don’t worry, there was no evidence to begin with. In a couple of days, I’ll talk to my brother, the bracelet will be ‘found’, and she’ll be released.”

Amber felt a wave of disappointment.

She had hoped Tina would stay in jail forever.

But this would do, at least this incident would likely derail the engagement between the Farrell and Reed families.

In the study dealing with affairs, Andrew’s phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and immediately answered respectfully, “Chief Kampwerth.”

“Are you out of your mind!”

The call was met with an angry shout as soon as it was picked up.

Andrew was stunned, not understanding, “What’s the matter, Chief Kampwerth, why are you so angry?”

“Do you even have to ask me why? Is this how you handle cases? Without evidence, you just arrest that woman? What do you have in your head, shit?”

“Get over here and sort this out immediately, or you can get lost!” The voice on the other end cursed angrily before hanging up.
