Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Willow had no objections this time. Although she longed to marry Jasper, her daughter’s well-being was her priority. The Reed family’s acceptance of Lily meant Willow could let go of the marriage; her daughter would be taken care of regardless. Especially now that Lily was recognized by the Reeds, Tina was out of the picture. Jared would belong to her daughter alone.

“Jasper!” Juliet was furious upon hearing the decision. Stomping her feet, she exclaimed, “How could you agree to let Lily return? What about Tina? Lily should even be Tina’s older sister. Have you considered her feelings?” In terms of seniority, Juliet should have been their elder sister. However, she was rarely home and seldom involved in the Reed family’s business affairs, so few recognized her as the eldest daughter. When Tina returned, everyone naturally assumed she was the Reed’s firstborn daughter. But now, Tina, previously second in line, was demoted to third, which was infuriating.

Audrey also expressed her discontent, “Exactly, a bastard child, why should she be allowed back into the Reed family?” Audrey had a mixed impression of Lily, who was a medical prodigy known for her aloof and proud demeanor. However, Tina’s actions since her return had not been commendable. Audrey’s opinion of Lily had soured upon hearing Willow’s shocking revelation. Just like her disdain for Liliosa, she disliked Lily. Audrey never claimed to be kind-hearted, but she hadn’t wronged anyone. Liliosa had previously thrown the Reed family into chaos, and now with an illegitimate Lily, especially one brought into the family through dubious means, it made Audrey feel nauseous. She had always viewed love as her most cherished aspiration, and the actions of Willow and her daughter tarnished that beauty.

“Enough!” Jasper suddenly shouted, silencing everyone. “This matter is settled. No further discussion!” Juliet wanted to argue for Tina but was intimidated by Jasper’s stern glance, leaving her trembling and silent.

Tina, having received the paternity test results, remained seated, calm as ever. Her face showed no displeasure, a faint smile playing on her lips. Juliet couldn’t understand how Tina remained so composed with a threat knocking at her door.

Jasper noticed Tina’s composure and approached her gently, “Tina, I owe an apology to you and your mother, but… Emrys wants to marry Lily, and she wishes to marry him. I want to fulfill his wish.” After a pause, Jasper added, “But rest assured, my wealth will remain yours. Lily won’t take anything from it.”

Willow and Lily’s expressions soured. As expected! A heartless man indeed! Regardless of their actions, Jasper would never truly care for them. But that didn’t matter; time would tell whether Tina could claim the Reed family’s fortune or marry Jared successfully. They would wait and see.

Tina looked up, standing slowly and said indifferently, “Mr. Reed, this is your family matter. As long as you’re happy, there’s no need to inform me.”

“Mr. Reed, have you finished dealing with your family affairs?” Tina asked, ignoring Jasper’s hesitant attempt to speak.

Jasper was silent for a moment before sighing, “It’s settled.”

“Good, now it’s time for me to handle my brother’s affairs,” Tina declared, walking towards Lily.

Panicked, Lily tried to crawl away, supporting herself with her hands, “What are you doing? I am your sister!”

Tina stood over her, looking down imposingly, “They might recognize you, but I do not!”

“You are out of line!” Lily retorted, looking up at Tina, who stood imposingly like a statue, making it hard for her to breathe.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Willow quickly stepped in front of Lily, facing Tina, “Tina, don’t be too harsh! Lily was wrong to hit your brother, she apologizes, but you are now family. I hope you can settle this grudge.”

“Apology? I don’t accept it!” With that, Tina swiftly lifted Lily, and with a crunch, Lily’s arm was broken. Lily screamed in agony, but before she could make another sound, Tina swiftly crippled her arms and legs.

Then, like discarding trash, Tina threw Lily to the ground. Her actions were so fast that the onlookers couldn’t see how she did it. Standing with her hands in her pockets, she looked around imperiously, her demeanor cold.

Tina surveyed the Reed family, then slowly said, “From now on, whoever dares to harm my brother, I’ll chop them up and feed them to dogs!” Despite her beautiful face and pleasant voice, her presence exerted immense pressure.

The Reed family members were left speechless.

After finishing her statement, Tina turned to Jasper, “Mr. Reed, your daughter is incapacitated. If you want to settle accounts, come find me.” With that, Tina turned and went upstairs.

After she left, it took about five minutes before anyone in the Reed family could speak.

Jasper was the first to regain composure. He glanced at Lily with disdain but instructed the servants, “Take her to the hospital, do your best to treat her.” She was still his daughter; he couldn’t completely abandon her.

At midnight, just as Tina finished her work and shut down her computer, there was a knock at the door. She opened it to find Emrys standing outside.

“Tina,” Emrys greeted her softly.

“Hello,” Tina responded, stepping aside to let him in.

As Emrys walked in, he seemed as able-bodied as anyone else. Tina gestured towards the sofa, “Have a seat.”

After a moment of silence, Emrys said, “Lily has been taken to the hospital.”

“Alright, I know,” Tina replied, pouring two glasses of water and handing one to Emrys.

Emrys took a sip and then looked up at Tina, hesitating before saying, “I don’t understand, if you were going to cripple Lily, why let her return to the Reed family?”
