Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 10: The Real Miss Reed



At Moon Gate Estate, Elizabeth faced the head of the Farrell family and dared not even take a deep breath. “May I ask what brings Mr. Farrell here so suddenly?” she inquired, her gaze shifting to Jared, who sat in a wheelchair, with a sneer of contempt in her heart.

What good is the Farrell family’s prestige?

Jared is disabled, and the family’s future won’t fall into his hands.

“Mrs. Reed, regarding the marriage agreement between our two families, I hope you will reconsider,” Logan sat upright, exuding an authoritative aura.

Elizabeth was surprised that the Farrell family valued the marriage agreement so highly that Mr. Farrell himself had made a personal visit. She was somewhat at a loss. “It’s not that I disagree, it’s that my granddaughter does not consent…”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Elizabeth now despised Tina to her core.

That wretch! Acting on her own, she has made Elizabeth appear so passive before Mr. Farrell.

“The two children haven’t met before, naturally they may lack affection. But given time, that will change. Rest assured, my grandson is very caring and will not mistreat Miss Amber.”

Before Elizabeth could respond, Logan produced a check. “To show our sincerity, this hundred million dollars is our investment. On the day the children get engaged, we will contribute another hundred million.”

Elizabeth’s eyes widened in shock. A total of two hundred million dollars?

The Farrell family truly was wealthy beyond measure!

She was so stunned that she found herself at a loss for words.

Seeing her hesitation, Logan continued, “A few days ago, Amber saved my granddaughter. She is a benefactor to the Farrell family, which surely means our families are fated to be united, don’t you think?”

Elizabeth paused. “You must be mistaken. I haven’t heard anything from Amber about saving your granddaughter.”

“She saved a five-year-old girl at the entrance of the mall the other day-that was my granddaughter, Sophia.”

Originally, Jared had asked Nathan to send a thank-you gift, but something came up and it was never delivered.

Just returning from outside, Amber stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.

The entrance of the mall?

Did Tina really save that little girl?

Amber composed herself and entered.

“Grandma!”

Amber greeted Elizabeth and then turned to see Jared, her expression faltering.

So handsome!

When did Ensford produce such a dashing man?

She quickly averted her gaze and turned to ask Elizabeth, “Who are they?”

Elizabeth introduced them, “This is Mr. Farrell from the Farrell family, and this is his grandson, Jared.”

She didn’t know Hayden and Nathan, so she did not introduce them.

Jared?

Amber’s expression changed, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes upon looking at Jared.

So, he’s the disabled one!

Hah, what use is a good appearance?

A useless person is still useless.

Thinking of Mr. Farrell’s earlier words, Amber sneered inwardly. The ugly little girl from the mall entrance was Jared’s sister?

Truly, birds of a feather flock together!

One ugly, one disabled!

While Amber thought this, her face remained impassive. “Mr. Farrell, Mr. Jared Farrell, hello.”

“Very well,” Mr. Farrell said with a smile. “Amber, I must thank you for saving Sophia that day. If there’s anything you desire, just ask.”

He had been astute in the business world for many years and had not missed the disdain in Amber’s eyes. If it had been someone else, he might have rebuked them.

But this was Amber Reed.

Even if he felt displeased, he could not show it.

Hearing of a reward, Amber was tempted.

The Farrell family was the most prestigious in the capital; anything they offered would be of great value.

However, she quickly suppressed this thought. She did not want any entanglement with Jared. She smiled and said, “I only did what anyone would have done.”

After a pause, Amber added, “By the way, Mr. Farrell, I think there may be a misunderstanding. I’m not the Miss Reed you speak of.”

Upon hearing this, Logan, Jared, Hayden, and Nathan were all taken aback.

After a moment, Hayden looked at her sharply. “You’re not Miss Reed?”

“That’s right. I was adopted. Just a few days ago, my father found his real daughter,” Amber said with a light smile.

Hayden stared at Amber for a few seconds before his expression darkened. “You’re not using this as an excuse to avoid the marriage agreement, are you?”

The fact that Amber was an adopted daughter was true; they knew this from their investigation.

But they had never heard of Hugo having another daughter.

Logan’s expression grew increasingly grim. He wasn’t insistent on Jared marrying Amber; he had promised Rebecca in the past and did not want to be a man who went back on hisword. Therefore, he kept trying to facilitate this marriage agreement.

The Reed family using such an excuse seemed quite excessive to him.

Elizabeth noticed Logan’s displeasure and hurriedly explained, “It’s true, I have another granddaughter. She and her mother left years ago and we lost track of them. It’s only recently that we found her again, and she was the one who called Mr. Farrell to cancel the engagement.”

Jared’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, his long fingers tapping on his leg rhythmically.

The voice of the person who had called him indeed did not sound much like Amber’s.

“If that’s the case, could we meet her to talk?” Mr. Farrell’s expression eased considerably.

“She’s been called and should be on her way here,” Elizabeth said cautiously.

When Tina arrived at the doorway, Hugo and Jennie were already waiting.

She greeted them, “Mr. Reed.”

“Hmm,” Hugo nodded and then explained, “Mrs. Keyton suddenly called me, saying your grandmother had a heart attack and we needed to come back immediately, as she is my mother after all…”

Tina’s lips curled into a smirk. A heart attack?

So serious, yet not in the hospital, waiting for her son to come and treat her?

Could her son heal her illness?

Only someone as naive as Hugo would believe that.

“Understood. Since we’re here, we might as well visit,” she said, curious to see what trick Elizabeth was trying to play.

They followed the housekeeper inside.

Upon entering the living room, they saw Mr. Farrell and the others.

Tina’s gaze met Jared’s, and both were momentarily taken aback.

Is it him?

Is it her?
