Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 717: It Had Been a While Since Someone Dared Speak to Tina Like That

"Country bumpkin?"

Tina's eyebrows lifted slightly; it had been a long tsince she had heard such words.

She looked up to assess Kylie Lambert, who appeared no older than twenty. Exquisitely beautiful, it was no

wonder she had risen to fso quickly.

It wasn't just the influence of those behind her; her face surely played a part.

Tina's gaze returned to Hugo.

"What's going on? Didn't we agree that Juliet would be the only spokesperson for the perfume?"

She paused, noticing Hugo's evasive expression.

"You're in trouble, why didn't you tell me?"

"I will explain everything when we get back, Tina," Hugo replied with a troubled look.

"Miss Lambert, this is my daughter. Please mind your manners."

With that, he turned to face Kylie Lambert, his gaze clear.

Something was off.

Tina tugged at Jared's sleeve, signaling without words, and he immediately understood.

He gestured to Nathan to ccloser.

Kylie, noticing Jared's indifference towards her and his attention solely on Tina, filled with jealousy, said, "Jared,

look at them! If it weren't for your sake, | wouldn't have taken this ad. Now, their whole family is ganging up on

me." Her voice, dripping with petulance, made Tina particularly uncomfortable.

Tina's beautiful eyebrows twisted into a sneer.

"Is Miss Lambert a hen? Clucking nonstop, one would think you're performing an egg-laying act for the Reed

family."

Kylie's eyebrows shot up in anger, pointing at Tina.

"You, you country bumpkin! What right do you have to speak to me?!"

Her shrill voice ensured that Tina and Hugo, along with Jared, as hosts of the banquet, were already the center of

attention.

With Kylie's outburst, all eyes in the banquet hall were now on them.

People's expressions changed upon hearing her words.

A strange, assessing gaze fell upon Kylie.

"What's going on? How can someone still call Miss Reed a country bumpkin at this point?"

"With Miss Reed being such a renowned perfmaster and fashion designer, how can she not know?"

"If someone as accomplished as Miss Reed can be called a country bumpkin, then what are we?"

The surrounding murmurs did not escape anyone's ears, and Courtney commented with a light laugh, "Country

bumpkin, over and over. One would think Miss Lambert is skind of princess." "You, me!"

Kylie, unable to slap because of the setting, was visibly furious, her face red and green with anger and regret for

not having thoroughly researched Tina's background.

Who knew that this seemingly easy target in Ensford had so many accolades unknown to her!

Kylie's ears twitched, and she gritted her teeth, "Just you wait! | won't let you get away with this!"

Meanwhile, in a hospital room.

Angela finished wiping Natalie's body and carried the basin toward the bathroom.

The night outside was dense, making it impossible to see who might be below. Suddenly!

The bathroom light flickered twice.

Snap!

Darkness enveloped the space Angela was looking into. Her eyes narrowed fiercely, and she kicked open the

bathroom door.

A loud bang startled the nurses and patients moving freely outside the room.

"Who's there!"

With excellent night vision, Angela immediately spotted the additional figure by Natalie's bed and, without

hesitation, kicked out!

The man seemed prepared, nimbly flipping out of the window!

A long rope swayed in the air; only then did Angela realize that this person had used a grappling hook to climb to

the hospital room.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and without hesitation, she descended along the rope.

At that moment!

The door of the hospital room slowly opened a crack, letting a weak stream of light spill through.

One could vaguely see the room's interior. Once the man confirmed that, besides the unconscious Natalie, there

was no one else inside, he confidently pushed the door open. The moment the light fully entered, the window

glass reflected a dazzling glare.

But it lasted only a moment before the man closed the door again. As darkness enveloped the room once more,

he approached Natalie slowly, holding something in his hand. Just as the silver needle was about to touch

Natalie's exposed skin.

A ding sounded!

The room was suddenly flooded with light, and the man, unfazed, gritted his teeth, ready to plunge the needle

in. "Over my dead body!"

Angela reacted even faster, drawing a dagger from her waist and stabbing forward!

The sharp blade entered through the temple, penetrating the man's skull and pinning him to the wall! Elsewhere.

After the minor interruption, the banquet continued.

Juliet stayed close to Tina, her gaze wandering, "Strange, where did Kylie Lambert go? She didn't really leave, did

she?"

Tina tilted her head, "Why, did you expect her to stay?"

Even in jest, her tone was subdued.

Juliet, unsure, thought Tina was actually upset and hurriedly explained, "No, no. | wish she would leave faster.

But Tina, you don't know, Kylie Lambert is not as simple as you think." Remembering the fate of those who had

crossed this woman recently, Juliet shivered, "Her demeanor earlier, she definitely took a liking to Mr. Farrell.

Something must have happened, or she wouldn't let it go so easily." "If I'm not mistaken, that woman knows

martial arts," Jared said coldly, recalling the mark he had seen on Nathan's wrist, a suspicion forming in his mind.

Tina glanced at him, "Uncle, you're quite observant."

Jared smiled helplessly, his icy gaze thawing in an instant, "And you accuseof being jealous, when you're no

different."

He gently stroked Tina's soft hair, his eyes filled with a different kind of light.

Juliet watched silently, her already unsteady heart beating even faster.

The sound seemed too loud.

Would Tina notice?

Courtney, caught off guard by another display of affection, felt numb.

Her eyes looked everywhere but at the couple surrounded by a pink aura. In the shadows!

Kylie Lambert, like a snake watching its prey, stared at the affectionate scene.

Her hand clenched into a fist at her side.

Tina!

Just you wait, once she has Jared, you'll have your comeuppance!

"Kylie Lambert! Are you even listening to me?!"

The sudden roar in her earpiece snapped Kylie back to reality.

She touched her earring impatiently, "Alright, | got what you said! | was careless this time, but | know what I'm

doing next, it's not your place to lecture me!" Feeling the gaze on her.

Tina's lips curved into a slight smile.

Kylie Lambert.

She remembered!
