Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Down below, a woman slowly stood up, dressed in a white strapless gown, her head slightly bowed as she walked step by step toward the stage. The lights in the venue were not fully on yet, with only the brightest beam shining on the stage, making it difficult for the audience to see clearly who was ascending. Seeing the white strapless gown, everyone assumed it was Grace. The Lyons and Max breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Grace had decided to add a twist on her own. It wasn’t until the figure reached the stage and the lights enveloped her like a thin veil that they could see her face. It was Tina!

This unexpected change nearly made Grandma Lyon roll off her wheelchair. What was going on? Hadn’t they made sure Tina was kept out at the door? How did she get in? On stage, Jared pulled out a necklace he had bought that afternoon and placed it around Tina’s neck. As soon as the necklace settled, Tina’s gown burst into color like fireworks, and in the blink of an eye, the pure white transformed into the green of mountain bamboo. The green dress made Tina look more dignified and striking, adding a touch of resilience to her usual delicate appearance, yet she retained the tenderness unique to her interactions with Jared.

The audience was also surprised to find that the venue’s large screens were now displaying photographs of Jared and Tina together, many of which Scarlett had taken and shared. Some of the angles in these photos were surprising, but with their flawless faces, these were no issue at all. Jared, holding a microphone in one hand and cradling Tina’s face in the other with a tenderness he himself might not have realized, said, “Tina, will you marry me?” Tina looked back at him, the man she had chosen for life, her lips slowly curving into a smile as she replied, “I will.” It seemed even more joyful than the last engagement party. They really had Grandma Lyon to thank for her generous support.

Grandma Lyon, on stage, was livid, pushing Warren and Oliver, “What are you waiting for? Go find Grace, where has she gone?” As soon as she spoke, Max was too embarrassed to interject. To be precise, he didn’t have the time to. Tina on stage looked too much like his boss… Meanwhile, in the makeup room, Grace and Stephanie were nearly breaking their hands pounding on the door, their voices hoarse from shouting, but the door wouldn’t budge. “Is anyone there? We can’t open the door, help!” Five minutes earlier, they had tried to leave for the stage but found the makeup room door jammed. They tried to call for help, but there was no cell signal.

Outside, Nathan had thrown the key in the trash, along with all the secrets! When Warren and Oliver arrived, they hurriedly asked the staff to look for the key. However, it turned out the hotel didn’t have a spare. They had no choice but to break the door down. On stage, the lights were now fully on, Tina and Jared standing hand in hand in front of everyone. “Thank you all for attending mine and Tina’s engagement party,” Jared said into the microphone, his voice calm and composed as usual.

Grandma Lyon, with a dark look, said, “Jared, you forced my hand!” She took out a remote control, turned on the large screen on the stage, and, grabbing a spare microphone, announced to everyone, “Our Lyon family will never accept such a daughter-in-law!”

As the screen lit up, a collective gasp rippled through the audience.

The images displayed were simply unbearable!

Many in the crowd showed their disdain.

“At least she is a distinguished lady; how could she do such a thing?”

“It’s a disgrace to her family! It wouldn’t just be the Lyons; even our family would not accept her.”

“It’s too chaotic, how can she sit and play this game with so many men?”

Grandma Lyon watched Jared and Tina with a smug look.

They wanted to publicly embarrass both the Lyon and Hancock families, but it remained to be seen if they were capable.

However, Jared and Tina turned around and looked meaningfully at the video playing on the screen.

“Miss Hancock seems to be really enjoying herself,” Tina whispered, her voice clearly heard through the microphone.

Grandma Lyon was momentarily stunned, then turned to look.

This was not the scandalous photo she had prepared; it was a video of Grace playing a game of passing notes with her mouth in a bar, kissing numerous men!

Max’s face turned iron blue as he glared at Grandma Lyon. “You Lyons are really full of surprises!”

At that moment, Grace ran out of the dressing room, tripped over her dress in her haste, and fell on the stage.

She got up, looked at the screen showing her playing games with her admirers, and nearly fainted.

Wasn’t this a private video from her phone?

How did it end up here?

Grace had always been seen as a noble socialite, well-mannered and beautiful, never having had a boyfriend.

Even Stephanie had no idea how wildly Grace had been playing.

Jared looked sideways at Grace, “Miss Hancock, your boyfriends are all waiting for you below the stage.”

And indeed, the men below were those from the video!

“Grace, you said you only liked me. Who are these men in the video? Who are they?”

“You were talking on the phone with me last night, accepted my gift, and said you’d give me a chance. Who are they? What’s this video all about?”

“Baby, you said you were sick and went to bed early last night. What’s really going on? Aren’t you my girlfriend?”

Grace’s numerous boyfriends demanded answers, incredulous.

The boys below, without exception, came from well-established families in Clearwater, all around Grace’s age.

They had mostly met her at various business evenings.

After confirming their relationships with Grace, at her insistence, they kept it a secret, not to let their families find out.

Initially, when their parents mentioned attending the Hancock family’s engagement party, they didn’t believe it, each confirming with Grace.

She had told them it was not an engagement but merely a formality arranged by her family.

Now, it seemed that was not the case!

As Grace was pressed for answers, the boys’ parents also realized they had been deceived.

And all by the same woman!Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Some parents had already approached Max for explanations, those who dared not offend simply took their sons away.

But these young men, full of vigor, were not so easily compromised.

After several arguments, a fight broke out.
