Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Upon hearing this, Ethan was extremely excited. Professor Lininger was the most prestigious professor at Kongham University and a kind person who had personally funded many impoverished students. Living in such an environment, his loved ones and son would surely be admirable too.

He quickly asked Tina, “Master, can you take me to find them?” He wanted to go himself but feared that showing up unannounced might scare them. Knowing that Professor Lininger had been Tina’s mentor at Kongham University, he thought it would be easier to reconnect through her.

“Go back and rest first. I’ll find you after I handle things here,” Tina replied.

Ethan glanced at Willow and Lily, his face darkening instantly. “Alright.” Did they think a mere injury would settle things with Tina? They underestimated her!

After Ethan left, the Reed family returned to silence. The younger members exchanged glances, too afraid to speak. Annabelle was so angry she clutched her chest, struggling to breathe. Jasper’s face was cold, exuding an aura that seemed ready to devour anyone.

The atmosphere remained tense. Willow saw that no one in the Reed family spoke, so she said, “I originally planned to keep this a secret forever, but now that Tina has exposed it, we need a resolution.”

Willow looked directly at Jasper. “Jasper, you don’t have to marry me, but you must acknowledge Lily! My mistakes have nothing to do with her! She shouldn’t pay for them!”

“After today, everyone in the capital will know Lily is your daughter. This will greatly affect her reputation. If you don’t acknowledge her, her life will be ruined! I know you’re heartless, but for the sake of the child, handle this properly.”

Lily lay on the ground, completely stunned! She never expected things to escalate this far! But for her, this was good news! Reputation? Honor? None of that mattered! What mattered was whether she could match Mr. Daryl’s status! Only as Miss Reed could she be a suitable match for the Farrell family!

“Ridiculous!” Juliet shouted angrily. “Why should the Reed family pay for your mistakes? Jasper has always cared about Aunt Natalie; everyone knows that. If he acknowledges this daughter, he’ll be shamed!”

Juliet never liked Willow and her daughter and wished they were far away. Now they wanted the Reed family to accept them? It was infuriating! Besides, she liked Tina very much. She already disliked Amber Reed when Jasper mistakenly acknowledged her; she disliked Lily even more now. Only Tina deserved her protection!

“Juliet! Stop talking nonsense!” Garrett suddenly spoke up. This matter wasn’t for them to interfere with; it depended on Jasper’s decision.

Juliet wanted to say more but fell silent upon seeing Jasper’s livid face.

“I won’t acknowledge Lily as my daughter!” Jasper coldly looked at Willow and Lily, his tone icy and heartless.

Although Willow had anticipated this outcome, it still hurt deeply. Jasper remained as cold-blooded as ever. Even though she bore him a daughter, an outstanding one at that, he still refused to acknowledge her!

Lily looked up in shock at Jasper. She couldn’t believe he wouldn’t recognize her.

“Why won’t you acknowledge me?” Lily demanded, looking into Jasper’s eyes. “I’m your daughter; you should recognize me regardless of what happened between you and my mom! I did nothing wrong! Why involve me in your adult issues?”

As Lily spoke, she grew more emotional and shouted hoarsely, “Soon everyone will know I’m not a Ward family daughter. How will people see me if you don’t recognize me?”

Jasper listened expressionlessly to her accusations without reacting.

“Dad!” Emrys appeared at Whispering Pines then, sitting in a wheelchair pushed by Damian.

Jasper frowned upon seeing him. “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to rest?”

Emrys smiled bitterly. “I’m already like this; resting won’t help. I heard something happened at home and asked Damian to bring me back.” His legs could only walk a few steps despite Lily’s treatment; most of the time, he lay in bed.

Emrys glanced at Tina and then at Lily before speaking after a moment of silence. “Dad! This situation is bizarre but has nothing to do with Lily; you can’t let her suffer public criticism.”

Jasper frowned again. “This is none of your concern.”

Because of Natalie’s relationship with Emrys, Jasper pampered him despite being disappointed by Emrys’ previous offenses against Tina that led to his current state.

Seeing Emrys involved made Jasper’s face darken further.

Emrys lowered his gaze slightly. “I know I’m just an adopted son and shouldn’t interfere in this matter, but I like Lily! I want to marry her!”

“What!!” Jasper was shocked!

Annabelle and the other Reed family members were also stunned.

Even Willow and Lily took a while to react.

Only Tina raised an eyebrow slightly, watching them indifferently.

Emrys didn’t say much more; he struggled out of his wheelchair and knelt on the ground earnestly. “Dad, for my mom’s sake, please allow me this request. I can give up being a Reed family adopted son; I just want to marry Lily!”

The ‘mom’ he mentioned was Natalie-his savior-whom he called ‘mom’ after being adopted by Jasper.

Lily stared at Emrys disdainfully for a long time before snapping out of it-a crippled adopted son dared dream of marrying her? Ridiculous!

But she knew Emrys held significant weight in Jasper’s heart despite being adopted; if Jasper agreed to Emrys’ request, she’d smoothly return to the Reed family.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Once she became Miss Reed again, breaking off an engagement would be easy.

With that thought in mind, she looked up at Jasper and said, “I also like Emrys!”

“What???” Juliet exclaimed!

Lily liking Emrys? What a joke! This woman who always aimed high suddenly wanted to marry Emrys?

“You all!” Jasper clutched his chest in anger as he looked at Emrys and Lily but couldn’t utter a word.

After a long standoff, Jasper sighed heavily. “Fine! Children’s debts are repaid by parents; tomorrow I’ll announce Lily’s identity publicly-but Willow-you’ll never marry into the Reed family!”
