Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Everyone was stunned.

How did she come back?

Wasn’t she arrested?

When Tina saw Lily, her eyebrows slightly raised, a fleeting glimmer passing through her eyes.

Lily stood at the doorway, her gaze sweeping over everyone before finally resting on Tina, who was seated in a corner. She stepped forward, looked at Tina, and asked through gritted teeth, “Was it you?”

She pondered for a moment; this matter had nothing to do with her, yet the Reed family had always had issues with Tina the most.

Tina leaned back lazily in her chair, her hands resting on the armrests, coldly watching Lily.

Seeing Tina’s demeanor, Lily grew even more infuriated. Her delicate face almost twisted, but she struggled to maintain her composure. “I know you’re unhappy about me becoming your sister, but it was the Reed family’s banquet yesterday. By doing this, you could bring disgrace upon the entire Reed family. Haven’t you thought about the Reed family at all?”

Her tone was as if she had already concluded that Tina was responsible.

Annabelle glanced at them both, frowning. “What’s going on here? Lily, how did you come back? And what did you mean by saying Tina did it? What is this all about?”

The capability of the X Bureau was clear to everyone present.

No one who entered could come out.

“Grandma, they’ve cleared it up; I didn’t do those things, but why was I arrested? There must be someone scheming behind this,” Lily hinted with meaning.

All eyes turned towards Tina.

The infant virus experiment was no small matter; if Lily were to bear such an accusation, it would ruin her life.

She believed that Tina had reported her to keep her away from Jared.

She didn’t believe that Tina had the power to influence the X Bureau.

It had to be a report!

Annabelle looked at Tina, her face stern. “Tina? Is this true?”

The rest of the Reed family also looked towards Tina, awaiting her response.

This was no small matter; one mishandling could destroy the Reed family.

Tina was a member of the Reed family; they didn’t believe she would do such a thing!

Only Jasper, his deep eyes fixed on Tina, seemed to be trying to see right through her.

Yet there she sat, undisturbed, even amidst the questioning gazes of her family, her expression unchanging.

“No,” Tina said coldly as she rose from her chair.

In fact, it was indeed her doing.

The answer she wanted was almost clear now; sending Lily to the X Bureau was merely to confirm something.

What surprised her, however, was that Lily came out.

The order to arrest Lily had been given by Jared himself, and it was his people who executed it.

And he had instructed that no one was to contact Lily.

Now, Lily had returned…

Tina looked up at Lily, a cold glint in her eyes.

Lily felt unnerved under her stare, her heart faltering for a moment.

Her throat was sore from shouting all night, and the thought of that dreadful little cabin made her shudder with fear.

What was worse, she had been taken away in front of so many people!

She had just returned to the Reed family, only to be nailed to the pillory of shame.

“How could it not be you? You are the only one who doesn’t want me back in the Reed family. Tina, I know you hate me, but you can’t let the whole Reed family be shamed. Can’t the past just be erased?” Lily spoke, always invoking the Reed family, which also stirred the emotions of the other members.

Jasper stepped forward, his voice steady, “Tina, if it was you, you owe your sister an apology.”

His tone carried a commanding edge mixed with inquiry. Tina’s eyes flickered, fixing on his face before she suddenly laughed, “Are you joking, Mr. Reed?”

Apologize?

Ha!

Juliet’s brows furrowed immediately upon hearing Jasper say this. Tina had already stated it wasn’t her doing, yet Jasper was insisting Tina apologize to Lily?

Wasn’t he the one who loved Natalie the most? Wasn’t he the one who doted on Tina the most? Why did everything change the moment Lily returned?

Juliet felt that Jasper had changed. He had changed so much that she no longer recognized him.

Seeing several elders agreeing with Jasper, Juliet hurriedly spoke up, “Jasper, Tina already said she had nothing to do with it. Did those people say it was her doing? You can’t just listen to Lily’s side of the story and make Tina apologize. It’s not fair to her. They’re both your daughters.”

Jasper looked at Juliet coldly, his gaze piercing.

Juliet was startled by his look-such a terrifying expression.

Jasper ignored her and turned to look at Tina, his expression unreadable.

Whether Tina was his daughter was still up for debate.

Despite the ten paternity tests confirming their relationship, he still had doubts. Even if Tina was indeed his biological daughter, her heart was cold, just like Natalie’s, impossible to warm.

He was well aware that Tina was involved in the matter, but whenever he faced those clear, penetrating eyes of hers, it was as if his throat was choked, leaving him unable to speak.

Look!Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She was even more formidable than Natalie!

Just with a gaze, a mysterious smile, she could unsettle one’s mind.

Under her airy words, he could not utter a single word.

Tina’s lips curled slightly, her demeanor casual, “Mr. Reed, should I still apologize?”

Jasper was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say.

Juliet did not hesitate to stand beside Tina, patting her shoulder in support, “No apologies, we did nothing wrong. Why should we apologize?”

“Right, I think it’s Lily’s problem. She must have done something to attract those people’s attention, and that’s why she was taken,” Griffin said, standing firmly by Tina, raising his hands in a gesture of trust.

Watching them all side with Tina.

Lily was very resentful.

Why!

After Griffin had been deceived by Tina, he still supported her. What kind of spell had Tina cast on them?

Annabelle stepped forward to mediate, “Enough, we’re all family. We should get along well from now on. Let’s forget about this matter and not hold any more grudges.”

After speaking, she pulled Lily closer, smiling as she spoke, “Lily, make yourself at home in the Reed family. If you need anything, just tell Grandma, and I’ll surely help you.”

“Thank you, Grandma.”

But Lily was clearly unwilling to let Tina off. She approached Tina and said, “Tina, it’s okay if you don’t want to apologize. Grandma said we’re all family, so I forgive you. Let’s get along well from now on.”

“Stay away from me.” Tina’s eyes brimmed with disgust.

Annabelle, however, was somewhat displeased, “Tina, Lily is going to be your sister from now on. How can you treat her like this?”
