Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 370: Every Account Settled Precisely

Lily glanced at Tina and whispered, "Mom, stop talking!" She looked utterly aggrieved. Naturally beautiful, her

distressed expression made her even more pitiable. Willow had only this beloved daughter, and seeing her in

such distress was unbearable. Her voice rose, "Why shouldn't | speak? | insist on speaking!"

After saying this, she approached Tina, visibly furious, "Tina, you've disliked Lily from the start. No matter what

she does, it's wrong. But today, she acted to save you! Your attitude is completely unacceptable!"

Tina slightly raised her eyebrows, her expression neither cold nor warm, "So? Should | kneel and bow my head to

her?"

Willow was taken aback, "When did | ever ask you to bow to her? Don't twist my words. At the very least, you

should say thank you."

Annabelle, who had been silent, spoke up with a frown, "Tina, your attitude really is inappropriate. No matter

what, Lily is your sister. Whatever grievances you had should be in the past; today she saved you because you

are half-sisters, sharing the sfather. You don't need to be overly grateful, but saying thank you is the least

you can do."

As she spoke, her gaze hardened, "Didn't your mother teach you any manners?"

Suddenly, Tina's eyes darkened. Standing under the sunlight in her luxurious custom gown, she appeared regal,

her presence so commanding it was momentarily blinding.

Her cool gaze shifted to Annabelle, her voice aloof, "My mother is dead. Otherwise, why don't you go to the

underworld and ask her how she taught me?"

Annabelle's face soured instantly, "What kind of response is that? As your grandmother and someone who wants

the best for you, can't | even speak to you? | remember your mother as a very gentle and gracious woman, well-

liked by the Reed family for her polite and considerate ways. How can you be so rude? You really should learn

from your mother how to conduct yourself."

"Ha!" Tina laughed, a radiant yet toxic smile that could intoxicate anyone at a glance.

She looked up at Annabelle, her voice icy, "When Liliosa managed to stealthily take Mr. Reed's sperm, Grandma

Reed, you played no small part! A venomous person, living a life of deceit, and you're teachinghow to

behave?" Annabelle's face turned pale, then flushed with anger, "What nonsense are you spouting? Is this how a

younger person should speak to an elder?"

"lI wasn't aware there was anything wrong with Tina's attitude," Jared interjected, hands in his pockets, his

expression indifferent as he glanced at Annabelle, "Perhaps, you'd like to explain?"

Ha! The Reed family!

Tand again, they had tormented his Tina in front of him. If it wasn't for Tina preferring to handle her own

affairs, did they really think he would tolerate them for so long?

He had planned to wait until he had cleared up a certain matter before dealing with the Reed family.

Since the Reed family seemed intent on making life difficult, he would simply hasten their downfall.

After all, he didn't want anyone thinking he was just a figurehead fiancé.

"Need | say more?" Annabelle was truly angered now, her words reckless, "Ever since she returned to the Reed

family, she has treated us with nothing but disdain. No matter what we do, in her eyes, it's always wrong, and

she never shows us any kindness."

She turned a banquet into a farce, and during a gambling on stones outing, she allowed Mack to defecate live on

camera. Mack ended up in the police station multiple times because of her antics."

"Her foster parents cover, and we treated them well. Did that earn us any gratitude from her?"

"Now, her biological sister has returned, and out of consideration for her feelings, we restrained ourselves from

treating Lily too well. Yet today, despite past grievances, Lily injured her hand trying to save her, and this is the

attitude she shows?" "What? As elders, are we not even allowed to speak?"

Annabelle looked sternly at Tina. "I told you to learn how to be a person from your mother. Was | wrong? Tina,

you just don't measure up to her, you lack her thoroughness!"

Jared laughed mockingly, a sly charm in his demeanor.

He glanced at Nathan Lehman. "It seems the Reed family has many unsettled scores today. Nathan, bring over a

couple of chairs. Tina and | will sit and settle these accounts one by one." "Yes!" Nathan glanced coldly at

Annabelle and went to fetch the chairs.

Soon, he brought two chairs. Jared, holding Tina's hand, sat down regally, exuding a kingly aura that diminished

the Reed family and the Willow mother and daughter.

Jared crossed his legs, his long fingers tapping slowly on his knee.

His deep eyes swept over the Reed family, then fixed on Annabelle before asking Tina, "Tina, there are so many

accounts to settle, where shall we start?"

Tina's lips curled slightly. "I'm not good at math, uncle, you decide."

“Alright.”

Jared's gaze returned to Annabelle. "Let's start with how you saved Mrs. Reed at Serenity Ridge."

Previously, he would have addressed the Reeds respectfully.

Now, no more. They did not deserve it.

Upon hearing this, Annabelle's brow twitched, sensing trouble.

Before Jared could speak, she blurted out, "What do you mean by this? The Reed family has raised Tina for so

long, and now you want to settle accounts with us? Can these accounts even be settled clearly?"

"Mrs. Reed, don't worry, I'm very good at math. | won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad

when | was sixteen. You can check it-the accounts will be clear!" Jared spoke calmly, his feathery tone chilling.

Annabelle stiffened, about to speak, but Jared beat her to it. "If | remember correctly, whether it's Mr. Jasper, you,

Mrs. Reed, or the entire Reed family, everyone said my master was your favorite woman, the best match for Mr.

Jasper." He paused, then added, "I forgot to tell you, Natalie is my master."

"What?" The Reed family was shocked!

They had not anticipated this connection between Natalie and Jared!

Jared ignored their reactions and continued calmly, "Answer me, yes or no."

"es."

The first to respond was Jasper.

In his heart, Natalie was irreplaceable.

Jared glanced at him, then turned to Annabelle with a smirk, "Then, Mrs. Reed, please explain why you went to

Serenity Ridge to ask Master Tam about the whereabouts of Natalie's child and why you brought an assassin with

you?" The Reed family was shocked!

Assassin?

What was going on?

They all knew about this incident. At the time, Annabelle said she needed to find the child and went to Serenity

Ridge alone.

She had refused even the bodyguards offered by the family.

But now, she had taken an assassin with her-why?
