Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

In the corridor, a group of people walked toward the room. Elizabeth led the way, with Amber and Ivy flanking her on either side. A considerable number of guests followed behind her. Hugo and Jennie, stuck at the back of the crowd, held Zackary by the hand, their faces filled with concern.

Up ahead, as Amber matched Elizabeth’s pace, she said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, “Grandmother, don’t be angry, perhaps I heard wrong. Tina couldn’t possibly do such a thing.”

Elizabeth turned and glared at her, “At this point, you’re still covering for her? Amber, you’re my most outstanding granddaughter, but ever since Tina came back, you’ve been helping her at every turn. Today is Ivy’s birthday party, and that wretched girl dares to engage in sordid acts in our house, completely disgracing me.”

Despite her words, not a trace of anger could be seen on the old lady’s face; instead, there was more excitement. Yes, excitement! After today, Tina would have to marry Jared! Her Amber wouldn’t have to marry a cripple, and the Farrell family would have to provide them with a hefty dowry. Just thinking about it made her feel invigorated.

“It might be a misunderstanding!” Amber, concealing the gleam in her eyes, said, “Tina went to change her clothes, and Mr. Farrell must have had something to discuss with her.”

“What misunderstanding?” Elizabeth fumed, “You’re just too kind! Mr. Farrell initially proposed an engagement with you, but as soon as Tina returned, he took a liking to her. It’s clear they were involved with each other, making you the fool.”

Elizabeth’s gaze swept over the guests beside her, raising her voice a notch, “Have you forgotten what everyone was saying about you just now? They said you were deluding yourself, that Jared is clearly Tina’s fiance, but you claimed he was yours.”

Amber lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears, her voice tinged with hurt, “Grandmother, I don’t mind these things.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I mind,” Elizabeth said sternly, “Although Tina is my granddaughter, I’ve always supported what’s right, not just family. She’s arrogant and rude, just arrived home and already inciting your father and mother to talk back to me, moving out of Moon Gate, and now, she’s caused a scandal at our party. Today, I must teach her a good lesson.”

Hugo and Jennie at the back were flushed with urgency. They wanted to explain, but it seemed like Elizabeth, alternating remarks with Amber, didn’t give them a chance to speak.

As they reached the nanny’s room, Elizabeth commanded, “Open the door for me.”

She couldn’t wait to see the scene inside. And she wasn’t the only one; the others were equally eager. This was a limited edition spectacle! Mr. Farrell and Miss Reed engaged in a secret affair before their engagement! It would definitely be tomorrow’s headline news! They hurried to get their phones ready to capture the scene inside the room.

As they prepared their phones to take pictures, the door opened. Inside, an obscene scene unfolded. Everyone’s eyes bulged.

Where were Miss Reed and Mr. Farrell? This was clearly her son, Talon Reed, entangled with the Reed family’s nanny! At that moment, the two were intertwined naked, in a highly complicated position, creating an explosive scene.

“Talon!”

A roar shattered the silence. Ivy rushed forward, pulling Talon away and slapping him hard across the face, “You bastard! I bore your children, and you dare to cheat on me, especially at my birthday party? I’ll kill you!”

She was like a madwoman, grabbing Talon’s hair and hitting him repeatedly on the head.

Talon felt his head spinning, but his body was in even worse discomfort, as if millions of ants were biting him. All he could think about was his need for a woman.

He grabbed Ivy, tearing at her clothes with one hand and squeezing her soft body with the other, “Baby, you smell so good, I want to eat you, I’ll make you feel good, very good.”

With a groan, he said, “Hmm… even though it feels the same as touching that yellow-faced wife of mine, I don’t mind.”

Ivy, overwhelmed with shame and fury, especially after hearing his words, completely lost her reason. She pushed Talon away, her entire face red with anger, “Talon! You’ve gone too far! Way too far!”

After a moment of shock, the guests regained their senses and began to take photos with their phones. Although this news wasn’t as sensational as the earlier speculation about Mr. Farrell and Miss Reed, it was still headline-worthy.

At this moment, Talon had no idea what was happening; he only knew he felt terrible. Seeing Ivy push him away, he lunged at the nanny again, “Baby, hurry up, I can’t take it, I need it now…” Without another word, he pulled the nanny into a live performance. It was unclear whether the nanny was doing it on purpose, but in such a crowd, anyone would have felt ashamed, yet she did not resist and even seemed to actively participate, occasionally letting out sounds that were not fit for polite company.

Ivy felt a rush of blood to her head and fainted on the spot!

“Madam, madam, wake up!” The nanny responsible for their family cried out upon seeing this.

Elizabeth and Amber, who until now had been stunned, finally came back to their senses. Elizabeth was trembling with rage. She scanned the crowd, realizing they were all looking at her with strange eyes, and at that moment, she wished the ground would swallow her up. But even if there had been a hole to crawl into, she couldn’t have used it. This mess was hers to clean up!

Elizabeth clenched her fists and then calmly instructed Ivy’s nanny, “Quick, call an ambulance, take Ivy to the hospital.” The nanny nodded and hurried to make the call.

Elizabeth then turned her gaze back to Talon and the nanny, still entangled on the bed, and bellowed furiously, “Scoundrel! Stop it right now!” The scene was far too inappropriate for children; those who were underage had already been sent out by their parents, leaving only adults present. But to have such a disgraceful scene witnessed was scalding to Elizabeth’s pride.

The two on the bed, however, seemed oblivious to the orders and continued their explicit performance, becoming even more excited.

Elizabeth was so angry she nearly passed out herself.

Amber frowned at Talon and then whispered to Elizabeth, “Grandmother, something isn’t right here.” She had just turned eighteen and should have left upon witnessing the scene. But she couldn’t leave! She was part of the Reed family. Now that Talon had disgraced himself, the Reed family’s reputation was at stake, and so was hers.

Therefore, she had to stay and handle the situation, to salvage the Reed family’s reputation.

Reminded by Amber, Elizabeth turned her attention back to Talon and also noticed something amiss. She turned to Amber and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

Amber leaned close to Elizabeth and whispered so only the two of them could hear, “It seems like they’ve been drugged. I made the drug myself; it was supposed to be for Tina.”

“What?” Elizabeth was instantly shocked.
