Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Meanwhile, Amber hurried back to Moon Gate Estate, barely keeping her balance as she blurted out, “Grandma, Dad and the others have rented a house, and it’s in Pinkwater Ally of all places.”

“What!”

Elizabeth, along with Pinewood and Talon, stood up abruptly, looking at Amber in disbelief.

After a while, Elizabeth was the first to regain her composure, her expression almost uncontrollable, “Are you sure? Pinkwater Ally is not open for renting to outsiders.”

Amber’s delicate face was etched with seriousness, “I asked the security guard, it’s definitely rented, and the rent is particularly low, only five hundred dollars a month.”

Elizabeth didn’t speak, her brows furrowed tightly, and after a long while, she finally said, “Go check who the landlord of that house is. No matter what method you use, you must drive them out. We only have two days left; we can’t afford any mistakes.”

Pinewood responded with a nod, “I’ll do it right now.”

Amber smoothed her brow, and after a moment, she slowly spoke, “Grandma, I have a plan, but…”

“What plan? Let’s hear it,” Elizabeth asked eagerly.

Amber leaned in and whispered a few words into Elizabeth’s ear, who then smiled, “Good, this is a good plan. Let’s do it this way.”

“But, this would be bad for Tina,” Amber hesitated.

“What does it matter to her? A wild girl not recognized by me. As long as this marriage deal falls through, what does she have to do with the Reed family?” A cold glint flashed in Elizabeth’s eyes.

“Then I’ll follow Grandma’s lead,” Amber lowered her head, the coldness in her eyes unseen by anyone.

The next day.

Tina got up early for a run.

This was something she had persisted in every day for ten years.

As Tina arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, she ran into Amber and her two friends, who invited Amber to visit their home.

Upon seeing Tina, Amber immediately approached and said, “Tina? What are you doing here?”

Tina glanced at her indifferently, “Is there a problem?”

Was this person acting again?

Didn’t she already know they lived here?

“No, no problem.” Amber acted as if she was afraid of Tina, whispering softly, “Didn’t you live in a motel? How did you come here?”

“Oh, I live here,” Tina said, her interest piqued as she played along.

Since Amber wanted to act out a scene, she would accompany her in the performance.

“What?” Amber didn’t expect Tina to play along so readily, and for a moment, she was taken aback, but she quickly recovered and said, “You mean, you live here? Tina, do you know what place this is?”

Tina’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Pinkwater Ally?”

“Then you should know Pinkwater Ally doesn’t allow outsiders in?” Amber laughed softly, “Tina, I know you were just brought to the city and everything here is new to you, but this community isn’t a place for you. You should leave quickly. If someone loses something, things could get complicated.”

Tina’s lips curled up with a hint of mischief, “Where do you want me to go?”

“Aren’t you staying in a motel with Dad and the others? Naturally, you should go back to the motel,” Amber said as if it were obvious.

Before Tina could reply, one of Amber’s friends immediately asked, “Amber, who is she?”

The one speaking was Elena Heisler.

The Heisler family was not as prominent as the Reed family in Ensford.

But they were distinguished, and her two brothers were in politics.

Amber looked down on Elena but couldn’t afford to disregard the Heisler family.

“She’s my sister,” Amber introduced.

“So she’s the country girl who lived in the countryside,” Elena covered her mouth and laughed, “Tsk tsk, she really looks like a country person. Look at what she’s wearing; everything on her probably adds up to just a few tens of dollars, right? Amber, standing next to her, you’re like heaven and earth.”

Amber’s eyes drooped slightly as she said in a low voice, “Elena, don’t say that. After all, she is my sister, and I am just an adopted daughter of the Reed family.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“So what?” Elena immediately retorted, “Even if you’re adopted, Elizabeth likes you. Who made you outstanding? What if she’s Miss Reed? Isn’t she still kicked out of the Reed family?”

The other girl chimed in, “Right, everyone in Ensford knows you. How can you be compared to this country bumpkin?”

Tina put her hands in her pockets and looked at them sideways, a faint smile playing on her lips.

These people sought to affirm their own presence here?

“But how did they, having been kicked out of the Reed family, get into the neighborhood?” Elena questioned.

Amber sighed, coming to Tina’s defense, “Perhaps she just wanted to have a look around!”

After speaking, she addressed Tina with a weighty tone, “Tina, once you’re done here, hurry back, okay? This place isn’t for just anyone to enter. If something from someone’s house goes missing, it’ll be hard to explain.”

Tina stood with her hands in her pockets, looking amused at her.

Amber, under her gaze, felt an inexplicable panic.

Her eyes seemed to see right through her. Could it be that she had seen through Amber’s intentions?

No!

Impossible!

Tina had been raised in the mountains and was said to have never left the temple there in over ten years. How could such an ignorant person see through her?

“Sneaked in?” Elena suddenly raised her voice, “That’s unacceptable! I must make a call right away to see if anything’s missing from my house.”

Upon saying this, she took out her phone and made a call.

After Elena finished the call, she exclaimed in shock, “My mother’s bracelet is missing! It was custom-made for her recently, worth five million dollars. It must have been her! Security! There’s a thief!”

“Elena, don’t be like this, it must be a misunderstanding. My sister isn’t that kind of person. If you alarm the security and she’s taken to the police station, she won’t be able to face anyone again,” Amber said outwardly concerned, but her eyes were brimming with mirth.

Tina glanced at her indifferently, a cold glint crossing her calm eyes.

So they were waiting here for her?

“Amber, you shouldn’t be too kind!” Elena shook off her hand and shouted angrily, “Your sister is a thief, and she didn’t steal just a few hundred or thousand dollars’ worth, but millions! She could go to jail for this.”

Amber opened her mouth to speak but then fell silent.

They were standing not far from the main entrance, and the two security guards rushed over when they heard the commotion.

“Miss Heisler, what happened?” the guards inquired.

They recognized Elena.

In fact, they knew all the homeowners here.

Elena said angrily, “What kind of security are you providing? Letting just anyone in?”

Pointing at Tina, she accused, “Her, she stole my mother’s bracelet.”

The security turned to look at Tina, pausing for a moment, “Miss Reed?”

Tina had been behind Elena and her friends, so the security hadn’t seen her.

Now that they saw Tina, the voices of the two security guards trembled inexplicably.
