Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

On the surface, it seemed like they were criticizing Hugo’s family for their lack of status, but in reality, they were mocking Tina for not having a proper background and being an unknown child from nowhere. Jennie’s eyes turned red, and Hugo was also somewhat angry, but since this was the Farrell family’s hall, he couldn’t lose his temper and ruin the birthday banquet.

Tina frowned. Anyone who dared to touch someone from the Reed family was stepping on her last nerve. But since it was Logan’s birthday banquet, she decided to give Logan face and refrained from taking action against Walter.

She stepped forward and linked arms with Jennie. “Mom and Dad, as long as you still acknowledge me, I will always be your daughter. As for what others say, just ignore it.”

Tina’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Walter shouted angrily, “Tina, who are you calling a dog?”

“A dog responds,” Tina replied indifferently.

“Do you believe I’ll slap you?” Walter had never been so insulted and moved to strike Tina.

Jared intended to intervene before Tina could respond, but unexpectedly, Logan’s cane struck first.

“You little bastard! What nonsense are you spouting? You want to hit Tina? I’ll beat you to death!” Logan raised his cane and chased after Walter.

Vivienne cursed under her breath. She had thought he could do something useful, but it turned out this was his plan. He wanted to provoke Tina into action, but instead, he lost his temper first. Both Jared and Grandpa cherished her; there was no way they would let her be humiliated! Even if it meant ruining the birthday banquet, they wouldn’t let Tina be ridiculed! This useless fool was only making things worse!

Despite her thoughts, Vivienne walked up gracefully and supported Logan. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. Walter didn’t mean any harm; he just doesn’t know how to talk properly. Walter, hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Reed and Tina.”

Logan stood on the stage angrily and scolded Walter as well. “I’m telling you, Tina is my most beloved granddaughter-in-law. Her family is my family. Hurry up and apologize to them or I’ll break your legs today!”

Walter was unwilling; he never expected Logan would embarrass him in front of so many people. This wouldn’t do!

“Tina, even if you acknowledge this cheap mother of yours, you still don’t understand anything. Do you really think wearing high-end custom clothes makes you upper class? Don’t even get me started on jewelry; do you know anything about it?” Walter looked at Tina disdainfully.

Vivienne frowned. Useless fool! Is this never going to end?

“Walter, Tina is just from a different field than us; you can’t talk like that.” Vivienne pulled Walter aside and apologized to Tina. “I’m sorry, Tina. Maybe it’s best if you take your uncle and aunt away for now.”

Jared’s cold face showed a hint of frostiness as he looked at Vivienne with deep eyes before suddenly smiling. “Vivienne, did you just suggest that I ask my invited guests-my father-in-law and mother-in-law-to leave? Are you joking?”

He smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Vivienne’s expression changed; she realized Jared was truly angry and tried to explain. “That’s not what I meant. I just thought it wouldn’t look good if this continued, so I suggested it. I’m sorry…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jared interrupted coldly, “The ones who should leave are you all, not my in-laws. Don’t you agree, cousin?”

Jared’s anger surged around him like an invisible frost.

Especially when he called her ‘cousin,’ it made Vivienne feel a pang of panic!

She wanted to explain further, but Walter spoke first. “Tina is just a country bumpkin! Am I wrong? She can’t even afford decent jewelry; what does she know about it?”

Vivienne slapped Walter across the face. “Shut up!”

Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

How could he come up with such a stupid idea?

Did he really think that humiliating Tina among all these wealthy families would disgrace her?

She had been trying hard to salvage the situation, but he kept fanning the flames!

What an utterly useless fool!Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Walter looked at Vivienne in disbelief. “You dare hit me?”

However, before he could finish speaking, Jared grabbed him by the collar and threw him out of the hall.

“Crack!”

The sound of bones breaking echoed.

Jared’s deep eyes looked coldly at Walter outside the hall; his gaze was like a knife.

If today wasn’t Grandpa’s birthday banquet, he would definitely make Walter pay for offending Tina.

“Anyone who disrespects Tina or my in-laws in the future will have to answer to me!” Jared scanned the crowd coldly with a powerful presence that left everyone speechless.

Alexander wanted to get angry but saw Vivienne shaking her head at him and had no choice but to hold back.

They couldn’t sacrifice the entire second branch of the family for Walter.

Vivienne stepped forward to smooth things over. “Jared, Tina, I apologize on behalf of my brother. I’m sorry; it’s our fault.”

Tina said nothing but comforted Jennie instead.

Having someone stand up for her felt pretty good.

In the crowd, Ian nodded silently. “He’s quite protective of the little girl; he’s a man.”

Jack chuckled as well. “Yes, should we go over now?”

“Let’s wait a bit longer; that Farrell family’s little girl isn’t simple,” Ian said meaningfully while glancing at Vivienne.

Meanwhile, Vivienne showed her sincerity by saying, “Mrs. Reed, to express my apology, I would like to give you this set of jewelry.”

“This is Set No. 0 jewelry; it’s highly collectible,” Clara chimed in from the side since she was naturally upset about her son being thrown out.

Vivienne clenched her fists in anger; none of them had any sense!

Tina had been holding back because she didn’t want to ruin the birthday banquet but continued provocation meant she wouldn’t hold back anymore.

She looked coldly at the so-called Set No. 0 jewelry. “A flawed set-how dare you suggest my mom should collect it?”

Vivienne hadn’t expected Tina to say that and felt embarrassed for a moment.

This set of jewelry was one of her most cherished designs-her favorite and most satisfying work so far.

When it was launched, it received gasps of admiration from all the ladies present.

But in Tina’s mouth, it became a flawed set-how could she bear that?

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down despite feeling aggrieved on the surface she said: “Tina I understand today’s events have made you angry It’s normal for you to be upset with me or my family But this is our company’s latest product scheduled for next quarter’s promotion Saying such things in front of everyone-isn’t that inappropriate?”

Tina raised an eyebrow slightly with a hint of anger in her eyes “Is it your place to teach me how to speak?”

Vivienne clenched her fists tightly until her fingertips dug into her palms “Tina this is Grandpa’s birthday banquet What do you want in order for this matter to end If another apology from me will suffice then I can do that too”
