Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Mack panicked the moment he heard the suggestion. “No! I’m not going!” His last escapade, broadcasted live as he performed a handstand defecation, had already landed him in the police station once. Another arrest would be his second disgrace. Moreover, after his last arrest, his father had brought home Lysander, his illegitimate brother. If Mack were to be arrested again, he feared his father might forsake him for Lysander. How could that illegitimate son be worthy?

The police wouldn’t just let him refuse arrest. Instantly, two officers grabbed Mack. Unexpectedly, Mack broke free with all his might and, with eyes blazing, charged at Tina, yelling, “You wench, it’s all your fault! If I can’t be happy, neither will you! We’ll go to hell together!” Just as he lunged, Jared Farrell, who had been shielding Tina, swiftly stepped aside. Tina kicked out, sending Mack sprawling to the floor.

As the police moved to restrain him, Mack spotted a fruit knife on a nearby table. He lunged for it and stabbed at Tina. Tina stood firm, not moving an inch.

Hayden Cohen panicked and moved to intervene, but Jared sharply commanded, “Stay back!” Before Hayden could react, Tina dodged swiftly and struck Mack with rapid, seemingly gentle but powerful punches. Hayden, standing close, could hear the sound of Mack’s bones cracking. Stunned, he began to understand the situation.

Tina kicked Mack to the ground, picked up a wet wipe from the table, and casually wiped her hands. Looking up at the law enforcement officers, she asked, “That was self-defense, right?” The officers, taken aback by the prowess of such a beautiful woman, nodded. “Yes, he pulled a knife on you. It counts as self-defense.”

With a slight smile, Tina said, “Then I’d appreciate it if you take him in for questioning. I’ll submit evidence that he drugged me.” After a pause, she added coldly, “I won’t settle this out of court.”

The officers were confused. “Drugged?” Their report had mentioned only an indecent act during a live broadcast, nothing about drugging.

Tina’s eyes flickered towards Jasper, her voice cold, “It seems you only received a tip-off… Please take Ms. Liliosa as well. I accuse her of drugging me on my dress with the intent to traffick me.”

Hearing this, the officers’ demeanor grew stern. Trafficking was a serious offense. They approached Liliosa, who was still in shock, and without further ado, took her away.

As Mack and Liliosa were escorted out of the hall, the guests started to realize the gravity of the situation. Their looks towards Tina changed-she was not just any Reed family daughter, but evidently more formidable than Amber.

Hawk, embarrassed, wished he could disappear. His wife and son, now accused of intending harm to a Reed family daughter, would surely make headlines. He was unsure how to explain this to the Emerson family elders.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

He looked at the young girl standing amidst the crowd, exuding a powerful presence that demanded attention with just one glance. Why the Jiu Xuan sect’s young master had become a Reed family daughter was beyond him, but he knew he needed to provide a satisfactory response, or the Emerson family would be in jeopardy.

The atmosphere, disrupted by Liliosa, turned awkward. Willow, dressed in a custom-made gown radiating nobility, announced, “Let’s forget the interruption with a piano piece from me,” assuming the role of hostess confidently.

At that moment, nobody was less inclined to smile than her. Her carefully planned event was ruined, and Tina had stolen the spotlight. With renowned pianist Sutcliffe and other piano lovers present, Willow’s offer to play was eagerly anticipated.

After the performance, Jasper approached Tina apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect Mack to do this. Don’t worry, dad won’t let him off easy this time.”

Tina looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, “Mr. Reed, being too clever is no fun. I’m not Amber. If you play with fire, you’re going to get burned.”

Jasper met her gaze, her eyes as cold and perceptive as ever, seeing right through him. She reminded him so much of Natalie Whittaker in her intelligence and her dismissive attitude towards everything.

“Dad promises, this won’t happen again,” Jasper said, looking away.

Tina scoffed, “How many times have you made that promise? Your promises-aren’t worth much.” With that, she ignored him.

Jasper, his expression stiff, quickly excused himself to greet other guests. Meanwhile, Jared Farrell took Tina’s hand, which was cool to the touch despite the August heat, and whispered, “The lesson you gave Mack was too mild.”

Tina glanced back at him, her eyes narrowing with a hint of a smile, “Too mild?”
