Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jared glanced at Tina with a flicker of almost imperceptible light passing through his profound eyes.

He then smiled with a slight curl of his lips, the young girl needed no protection from him.

After Tina hung up the phone, Jennie’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Tina, who were you calling?”

How did she hear Tina say that she wanted the Reed family bankrupt within an hour?

No matter how down and out the Reed family was, it wasn’t something that could be bankrupted just because she said so.

Was Tina speaking nonsense out of anger, or was Jennie hallucinating?

“Mrs. Reed, I’m a bit hungry. Is there anything to eat?” Tina didn’t explain and just sat down on the sofa with a calm face. When facing Jennie, the fierceness in her eyes disappeared completely, replaced by a hidden touch of tenderness.

“I thought you weren’t coming back for lunch, so I didn’t save any food for you.” Jennie’s attention was diverted, “I’ll go make you a bowl of noodles. Does Jared want some too?”

“No trouble.” Jared nodded and sat down beside Tina, reaching out to quietly hold her hand.

Tina tried to withdraw her hand but he gripped it firmly, not letting go.

He had also sent a text to Nathan, instructing him to cooperate at all costs in the comprehensive suppression of the Reed family.

He knew that with Tina’s hidden power, she could crush the Reed family without lifting a finger, and there was no need for him to make a move.

But his fiancee had been wronged, and it was naturally his place to stand up for her.

Although Jennie was sent off to the kitchen, she still felt a deep sorrow for Tina, angry at her own helplessness.

Little did she know that while she was cooking the noodles, chaos erupted at Moon Gate Estate.

Elizabeth certainly knew about the post where Amber had berated Tina for stealing her thunder. She not only knew about it, but also reveled in it, even having a hand in the troubles stirred up at Pinkwater Alley.

In her eyes, Hugo was her son and Tina her granddaughter. No matter how much she disliked them or mistreated them, they were not to defy her, let alone threaten to break away from the Reed family.

If not for the perfume formula left by Rebecca, she wouldn’t have held back her anger for so long.

As she was smugly calculating her next moves, a call from Pinewood suddenly came, “Mom, our perfume factory has been reported for having dangerous goods, and was just sealed by the authorities!”

“What?!” Elizabeth stood up abruptly, shocked, looking at Pinewood, “What’s going on?”

After getting the perfume formula from Hugo, she had sold her jewelry to raise five million dollars, ready to revive the Reed family with it, just like in the old days.

How could the Reed family’s perfume factory be sealed at such a critical time?

If it was not unsealed immediately, every day’s delay meant a day less of production, and when the time came to deliver to the wholesale clients who had already paid deposits, they would not be able to deliver the required quantity. That would mean breach of contract and a hefty penalty.

The life and death of the Ye family rested on this perfume. Elizabeth forced herself to stay calm and told Pinewood, “Don’t panic, I’ll call the higher-ups to see if there’s been some misunderstanding.”

Her mouth said “don’t panic,” but her hands trembled fiercely as she dialed.

Before she could even make the call, another call came in from Talon, “Mom, all the banks… they had agreed to extend our loan repayment, but suddenly they’ve reneged! They’re pressuring us to repay the loans immediately or they’ll let the courts seize the company!”

“How could this be?” Elizabeth nearly blacked out. Their company was deeply in debt, and they had always negotiated with the banks to repay the interest first, extending the loans for gradual repayment.

The banks had always been easy to talk to before, so why the sudden change of heart?

Before she could figure it out, Pinewood’s second call came, his voice filled with anger and defeat, “Mom! The suppliers we had agreements with are now suddenly demanding that we immediately pay off all the overdue payments, or they will sue us…”

“How can this be, we have worked together for so long…” Elizabeth had only spoken half a sentence when she felt a surge of blood rush to her chest, a sweet taste in her throat, and then she could no longer hold on and fainted.

Pinkwater Alley.

Tina was sitting at the dining table with Jared, eating the noodles Jennie had cooked, and looking at the stream of breaking news alerts on her phone from Ensford: “the Reeds Company reported for tax evasion!”

“the Reeds Company sued over allergy cases!”

“the Reeds Company sued for overworking employees to death!”

In just half an hour, negative news about the Reeds Company covered the skies.

Tina put away her phone with an expressionless face, her delicate features betraying no emotion. The bankruptcy of the Reed family was inevitable!

The mistakes made by Amber alone were making the Reed family pay the price.

As long as Amber and the Reed family could bear the consequences.

Jared glanced at her and lifted his slender fingers, gently touching her head with a tender light in his eyes.

He said nothing, yet his gesture seemed to say, don’t be angry.

Jennie was also holding her phone, watching the news while occasionally glancing at Tina.

Even if she didn’t want to see, friends who knew about her relationship with the Reed family kept sending messages asking about the Reed family’s situation.

She remembered Tina saying that she would make the entire Reed family bankrupt within an hour, and she thought Tina was speaking nonsense.

How could so many things happen to the Reed family just while she was cooking noodles for the young couple?

It hadn’t even been half an hour, had it?

How could Tina have such great power?

While Jennie was looking at Tina with doubt, she caught a glimpse of the deep, undissolvable tenderness in Jared’s eyes across from Tina.

She suddenly felt that she had thought too much, and it must have been Jared acting out of anger on Tina’s behalf, having the Farrell family take action.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

It couldn’t possibly be Tina.

It must be so.

Unaware of Jennie’s thoughts, Tina, recalling something, said, “Mrs. Reed, you don’t have to worry about Mr. Reed and Zackary. I’ve already sent someone to protect them, ensuring they won’t be harmed in the slightest.”

“Okay.” Jennie heard Tina’s words and automatically filtered them to mean that Jared had already sent someone to protect Tina’s family members.

With the danger averted, Jennie was much more at ease at this moment. She looked at Tina and Jared with a face full of satisfaction, saying earnestly, “Tina, Jared is deeply affectionate and loyal to you. You must never let him down.”

Tina, “???”

How did the topic suddenly jump to her relationship with Jared?

“Mrs. Reed is right.” Jared’s cool lips lifted into a faint arc, and then he reached out to hold Tina’s hand, smiling with a profound meaning, “Tina, my deep affection and absolute loyalty for you-you can’t let me down.”

Tina, “…”

Did he just have no shame now?
