Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

At the entrance to Moon Gate Estate.

No sooner had Nathan pushed Jared through the gate than they overheard Annie’s words. Nathan’s deep-set eyes narrowed, his stern face wrapped in a layer of coldness.

Hayden and Nathan’s brows furrowed tightly together.

What did this Amber mean?

She secretly treated Jared’s sister, claiming she did not want others to know, yet she herself spread the news far and wide?

What exactly was she trying to do?

“Miss Reed!”

Sophia, upon seeing Tina, was excited to run over, but Jared pulled her back, “Wait a moment.”

He wasn’t sure if the Miss Reed Sophia mentioned was Tina; he just wanted to see what Amber was up to.

Inside the hall.

Everyone was full of praise for Amber after listening to Annie’s words.

Such a daughter could only belong to someone else’s family.

When they looked at Tina again, their eyes showed disgust, and they began to discuss amongst themselves, “You know, Hugo really is something. Although Amber is his adopted daughter, she’s far more outstanding than his own. No matter who marries Jared Farrell, they are his daughters, and he should be happy about it. Yet he ruined his adopted daughter’s marriage prospects for his own daughter.”

“Are his eyes blind? If it were me, I would treat such an adopted daughter a thousand times better. Properly nurtured, she could be the glory of the family. That Tina, just look at her clothes and demeanor, she’s not fit for public appearance. And raised in the countryside, illiterate, what benefits can she bring to the Reed family?”

“In my opinion, the decline of the Reed family isn’t without reason. They discard pearls and adorn themselves with fish eyes instead.”

Amber’s face turned pale upon hearing the crowd’s discussion.

She knew it!

These people would definitely stand up for her!

But she didn’t want them to stand up for her now!

Such fools!

She was about to explode with anger!

While Hugo, shivering with rage, roared, “What do you all know? It was Amber herself who refused to marry Mr. Farrell. What does Tina have to do with it?”

“Hugo, there’s no point in explaining anymore. If you hadn’t done wrong, why would your mother have driven you out? You can’t even find a job now, right? In my opinion, you should listen to your mother, marry Amber to Jared, and come back to enjoy the good life,” one of the guests sneered.

“You!” Hugo was upset but speechless for the moment.

Just then, a lady of high standing approached excitedly and asked Amber, “Amber, did you really cure Jared’s sister? I heard she was disfigured due to an accident when she was young, her face marred by many ugly scars, and the recent rumors say she has regained her beauty, was it you who helped her?”

This was Beatrice, the daughter of the local Fanning family, forty-five years old, married into the capital’s Woodham family.

Her daughter Shonna had been disfigured in a car accident a few years ago, and despite seeking many doctors for treatment, none had been successful.

Her daughter Shonna, because of her disfigurement, had become withdrawn, unwilling to interact with others, and Beatrice was quite worried.

A few months ago, she brought Shonna to Ensford, hoping the change of environment would do her some good.

She attended the birthday banquet today because her mother had some acquaintance with Elizabeth and, since her mother was ill, she came in her mother’s stead. But she never expected to hear that Amber could treat disfigurement, and she was immediately ecstatic.

Before Amber could reply, Elena answered with pride, “Of course, Amber’s medical skills will surely astonish you. Mr. Farrell’s sister’s condition was so severe, yet Amber healed her in just a few days.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Amber wanted to stop Elena, but considering Beatrice’s status, she let it pass.

Her husband’s family, the Woodham family, had an extraordinary position in the capital, and she had been wanting to establish a connection with Beatrice. It would give her more opportunities when she went to the capital later.

Beatrice’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

Amber nodded, “Yes, but Elena is exaggerating. Miss Farrell had burns, which although old, could still be treated.”

At the entrance, Jared, Hayden, and Nathan all frowned upon hearing this.

Hayden could not help but say, “What nonsense is Amber spouting?”

Jared squinted his eyes and looked towards Sophia, raising his hand to point at Amber not far away, asking, “Was it her who cured you?”

Sophia blinked her big eyes, looking confusedly at Jared, “No, it was the Miss Reed next to you, Jared, haven’t you met Miss Reed before? How can you not recognize her?”

Jared, “…”

Hayden, “…”

Nathan, “…”

This was a mess!

Mistaken identity!

That foolish Amber, how dare she claim Tina’s credit!

“Darn it!” Hayden was suddenly furious, “I’ve never seen someone so shameless, she even dares to bully Mr. Farrell’s fiancee? Where does she get the nerve?”

He said this and was about to go up and teach Amber a lesson when Jared called out, “Come back!”

Hayden stopped in his tracks, staring at Jared, “She’s bullying your fiancee right over your head, and you can bear this?”

Jared glanced at him indifferently, his long fingers resting on the side of the wheelchair, speaking slowly, “Strike the snake at its vital point.”

“Eh?” Hayden was confused, “What do you mean?”

Nathan explained seriously, “Mr. Cohen, what Mr. Farrell means is, let’s wait and see. It’s more satisfying to call her out in public.”

Then he gave Hayden a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

Hayden, “…”

I can understand!

I’m not an idiot!

You are!

On the other side.

Beatrice excitedly took Amber’s hand, speaking eagerly, “Miss Reed, I would like you to see my daughter. If she is cured, I will certainly offer you a generous reward.”

Amber felt smug inside, but she maintained a gracious and gentle demeanor, smiling, “You’re too kind. Treating and saving people is a doctor’s duty, but I’m not sure if I can cure your daughter’s condition, as everyone’s case is different.”

“I understand, I understand,” Beatrice said, “Any sliver of hope is worth trying.”

After a pause, she added, “May I trouble you to see my daughter after the banquet is over? I’m sorry, I’m just too anxious.”

Amber, understanding, said with a smile, “I understand. After the banquet, I’ll come with you to see her.”

“No need, you go ahead, I’ll go fetch her now.” Without giving Amber a chance to respond, Beatrice hurried off.

After she left, the crowd again burst into exclamations of admiration, praising Amber for her beauty and kindness, modesty, and not being pretentious, leaving Tina far behind.

Annie, hearing everyone’s words, looked at Tina with satisfaction, “See? Amber’s excellence is recognized by everyone, what can you use to compete with her? I tell you, even if you are Hugo’s biological daughter, it won’t work. With me around, you can forget about snatching her fiance!”

Tina’s lips curled slightly, just about to speak, when suddenly, a small figure ran over and hugged her leg, “Miss Reed!”

Tina was startled and looked at the child in confusion, “Sophia?”

Sophia nodded, “Miss Reed, I’ve missed you.”

Then, Sophia turned to look at Amber, pouting, and said with indignation, “Why did you lie and say you helped me? It was her who treated me, not you!”

Amber furrowed her brows. She had not seen Sophia since her recovery and did not recognize her. Hearing such an accusation, she struggled to maintain her composure but still kept her smile, “Little one, you shouldn’t speak nonsense. When have I ever pretended to be Tina?”

From a distance came a cool, indifferent voice, “Is that so? Then please, Miss Amber, explain why my sister insists it was Miss Tina who cured her?”
