Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Juliet felt uneasy; she didn’t want the Reed family to stir up any more news.

It wasn’t about her own career, she just didn’t want to see the originally harmonious Reed family become fragmented.

Tina lowered her eyes, then said after a moment, “There’s something.”

Juliet’s heart clenched immediately, “Tina, it’s not my dad, is it…”

Her nervousness made her stutter.

No!

It couldn’t be!

Her father had always been kind and gentle, never the type to harm anyone.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

She thought this, but Juliet was still very nervous, her palms sweaty from the tension.

“Let’s wait for him to come back,” Tina said as she sat down, pulling out her phone to call Garrett and summon him back.

At that moment, Muff, supported by Luna, came out of the room.

Juliet went up to help Muff down, her heart pounding.

She didn’t know what would happen next.

All she knew was that whatever was about to occur would once again upend the Reed family.

“Tina, what do you want to say?” Muff looked at Tina, his aged eyes hiding a trace of guilt.

Tina smiled, “Let’s wait for everyone to arrive.”

Muff said no more, just clenching his cane, his hand breaking out in cold sweat.

Soon, Garrett and Damian returned, and Audrey along with her brother Arthur and Esther entered.

Everyone in the Reed family was present, all of them quietly watching Tina and Jared.

Arthur kept looking towards Hayden, eager to know what was going on.

Hayden shrugged; he didn’t know what news Serena had to announce, he was just the driver!

Muff sighed deeply, “Tina, the family is all here, just say what you want to say.”

Tina looked around, finally fixing her gaze on Jared, her clear eyes carrying a hint of feigned confusion, “Uncle, am I bad at counting? It seems like not everyone is here?”

Jared, amused by Tina’s expression, pinched her face, “Indeed, not everyone is here.”

Audrey frowned, “Tina, what exactly do you want? We’re all very busy, we don’t have time to watch you spread rumors!”

Previously, her relationship with Tina wasn’t too close, but not as bad as with Amber.

At least since Tina came back, she hadn’t troubled Audrey, and they got along peacefully.

But since the incident with their grandmother was leaked by Tina, Audrey had been annoyed with her.

Tina always placed herself above others, seemingly looking down on them, which Audrey didn’t appreciate.

Tina lifted her gaze, focusing on Muff.

Suddenly, she pointed towards the wardrobe behind Muff, “Why do I feel like there’s someone else there?”

Muff straightened his back immediately, shocking a cold sweat out of him despite his age.

He suppressed the fear in his heart and said calmly, “That’s just a liquor cabinet, how could someone be there?”

Audrey also thought Tina was being absurd, “Can you stop playing tricks? Can’t you just talk normally?”

Arthur quickly held his sister back, fearing that one more word might provoke Tina.

“Don’t get angry, Audrey means can a liquor cabinet hide a person?” Arthur explained with a nervous laugh.

Tina ignored them and glanced at Hayden.

Hayden immediately understood, stepped forward, and dismantled the liquor cabinet swiftly.

Muff tried to get up to stop him, but at this moment, Jared spoke lightly, “36 Fifth Avenue, 5 Benjamin Road, 17 Seventh Avenue, 193 Rainbow Street, Mr. Garrett, are you aware of these properties?”

Startled by Jared’s sudden mention, Garrett was taken aback. He was even more clueless about the properties he mentioned. Garrett looked towards Damian, who also shook his head. Pausing briefly, he said, “Almost all of the Reed family are in Whispering Pines, and even if we do own homes, they are all nearby. We are not aware of the properties you mentioned.” Jared chuckled, “Of course, you wouldn’t know, but Muff is very much aware.”

While this conversation was ongoing, Hayden had already dismantled the fixed wine cabinet, exclaiming, “Serena, there’s a hole here!” The Reeds were startled-behind the wine cabinet was a wall; how could there possibly be a hole? Everyone crowded around, except for Muff, who remained as steady as a mountain.

Hayden, sitting on the dismantled planks, called out, “Serena, what should we do next?” Tina curved her lips slightly, gazing steadily at Muff. Then, with a slight smirk, she said to Hayden, “You have something interesting in your pocket.” Hayden was confused. Interesting? What could it be? Unaware, he reached into his pocket and indeed found something-it was the latest model of a tear gas grenade! “Typical Serena, always so well-prepared,” he thought. Weighing it in his hand, he threw it directly into the hole.

Muff was too late to stop him. In the next instant, a person emerged from the hole, tears streaming down his face from the irritation. The sight shocked everyone. “Big brother!” Esther cried out in astonishment, “What are you doing here?” Jasper had been missing for over half a month, and despite Esther’s efforts in searching for him outside, there had been no news. Unexpectedly, he was right here at home!

Garrett was equally surprised, “Big brother, why are you hiding here? What is this place?” Damian hurriedly handed Jasper a tissue to wipe his tears; the smoke that had billowed from the hole made him tear up as well. “Jasper, what is going on?” Damian looked up to him. He had always admired Jasper, and his mysterious disappearance had worried him for a long time. To think he had been at home all along!

Jasper wiped away his tears, his eyes still red. He looked at Tina and said gravely, “You found me after all.” Damian was stunned; he had never heard such a cold tone from Jasper before. He incredulously stepped back.

Garrett pulled his son to his side and stood silently to one side. Griffin and Juliet looked towards Tina, unsure of what had transpired. Muff, sitting at the head of the table, sighed deeply and slowly stood up, “Tina, Jared, I am responsible for all this, not Jasper.” Tina quietly watched Muff, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes. Esther was perplexed; she sat next to Tina, taking her hand, “Tina, auntie doesn’t know what happened, but we are a family. It must be a misunderstanding. Let’s listen to your grandfather’s explanation, shall we?” Though she said this, Esther knew in her heart that this matter likely would not end well. But apart from Muff, no one else knew what had happened. Why was their family head hiding in a secret chamber in the house that no one knew about? Why was Muff apologizing to Tina? What was the reason for all this?
