Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 43: A Decision Made



Talon stared at Tina, speechless for a long time. Tina had been behind the door, and he hadn’t even noticed her! What exactly did she want to do? As if in answer to his question, Tina’s smile brightened, “For yesterday’s incident, I’m avenging the past. You can’t feel wronged, Uncle Talon!” Her expression was seemingly calm, not a trace of anger on her face. Yet, she seemed as fearsome as a demon.

“You!” Talon pointed at Tina, “You’re a disaster!” “Enough, Talon!” Hugo suddenly roared, “Rebecca is your sister, you did that to her, and now you dare to insult Tina? Do you really think I’m afraid to fall out with you?” He was full of regret. Especially regretful. Back then, knowing Elizabeth didn’t like Tina’s mother, he had buried himself in work, believing that if he worked harder, Elizabeth would change her view of Tina’s mother. He had completely neglected his family. If it weren’t for Tina bringing it up today, he wouldn’t have known what had happened back then.

“Leave my house immediately, and don’t ever come back,” Hugo pointed towards the door and said. He wanted to seek justice for Tina’s mother, but he had no evidence. Even if he went to the police, as long as Talon denied everything, the police couldn’t do anything to him. The only thing he could do was cut ties with Talon. And he swore that from now on, he would protect Tina and not let her be wronged again!

“You want me to leave? No way!” Talon spat viciously, “This little wretch drugged me, she admitted it all, and she must come with me to explain to Ivy today, otherwise, I’ll refuse to leave.” “What do you want Tina to explain?” Jennie couldn’t hold back when she heard this and shouted angrily, “Isn’t it true that you messed around with May? Tina did drug you, but that was only after you drugged her first, it was tit for tat!”

Jennie spoke righteously, “You had an affair with another woman, even fathered an illegitimate child, and you did wrong, yet you blame Tina? Where is your shame?” Jennie had been uncomfortable these past few years. Her family was ordinary, and after marrying Hugo, whether it was Elizabeth or his brothers, none of them respected her. Although she was not of noble status, she had her pride, but for Hugo’s sake, she had endured over the years. Now, hearing Talon, that beast, had once humiliated Tina’s mother, she couldn’t hold back. In that moment, she realized that enduring in silence would not earn their respect, but make things worse. It was better to confront them head-on. Who knew if Talon that beast would do such a thing to Tina in the future. They had a daughter, and it was essential to keep their distance from him.

“Shut up! You have no right to speak here!” Talon shouted angrily. “This is my house! I am Hugo’s lawful wife! I am Tina’s stepmother! I have every right to speak here!” Jennie countered sharply, “I ask you to leave my house immediately, or I will call the police right now.” Talon hadn’t expected the normally docile Jennie to become so aggressive, and he was momentarily taken aback. After a moment, he recovered and shouted, “Call the police! Fine, call them! She drugged me, and you think you have the right? I want to see if Tina can walk away from this unscathed after the police get involved.”

Tina simply curled her lips into a smile, “I drugged you? Do you have evidence?” “I…” Talon was caught off guard! He had no evidence! Tina leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and spoke calmly, “You have no evidence that I drugged you, but I have evidence that you drugged me. Want to see whose head is harder?” Had it been someone else, they wouldn’t have the chance to stand here and talk to her. Not to end up in jail would be her fault! But Talon was Hugo’s brother. Even though Hugo protected her in every way, she could still feel that Hugo didn’t want family matters to get too ugly. He protected her thoroughly, and for his sake, she didn’t press the Reed family too hard. Sometimes she even thought that having been with Hugo for only half a month, she had gone against her initial intention of coming down the mountain. Her arrival at the Reed family was never meant to be easy for them. What changed her? Probably the warmth Hugo offered her.

“You!” Talon was furious but could see that Tina was tough-hearted. If he continued to make a scene, this wretched girl would definitely call thepolice. Moreover, he had no evidence of Tina drugging him. On the contrary, the Reed family was in her grasp. Since the banquet, the Reed family’s scandals, as well as his own, had been flying around, and the Reed family could not afford more trouble.

Talon tried to stand up but was limp all over, without any strength, and he bit out, “You just wait, I won’t let this go.” After saying this, he glared at Hugo, “Aren’t you going to hurry up and give me the antidote?” Hugo was displeased with his attitude, but after all, this was his own brother, so he could only look at Tina with difficulty, “Tina…”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Tina didn’t make it harder for Talon and crouched down to put a pill into Talon’s mouth. After Talon took the antidote, he left in a huff. After he was gone, the house fell into silence. After a long while, Hugo looked at Tina and said, “Tina… was it really you who drugged Uncle Talon yesterday?” Even though Tina had admitted it, he still couldn’t believe it. He didn’t believe Tina would have such harmful medicine. In his eyes, Tina was a kind-hearted girl; she wouldn’t harm people like that. Even though it was Talon who had brought it upon himself.

Tina looked up at Hugo, her eyelids drooping, her voice faint, “Mr. Reed, he is your relative, not mine. If you mind, I can move out.” “No, that’s not what I meant,” Hugo hurriedly said, “I mean, you were wronged, you should have told me, I would have stood up for you, you shouldn’t have gotten yourself involved!”

He cared for Tina! He wasn’t blaming her. “What’s the use of telling you?” Jennie suddenly spoke, “Can you fight your mother or your brother? I think Tina did the right thing! Since we can’t stand up for her, she avenged herself and her mother, what’s wrong with that? Such scum deserves to be dealt with.”

Hearing this, Hugo seemed to have come to an understanding, “Right, he should reap what he sows, Tina, you did the right thing.” Tina saw that he wasn’t blaming her and smiled.

“Tina, when did you learn medicine? How come you never mentioned it?” Jennie thought of Tina’s medical skills and suddenly asked. “I was bored in the mountains, so I learned,” Tina paused, then added, “I started learning at ten.”

Jennie’s face lit up, “So, your medical skills are very good?” “Average,” Tina replied modestly. Jennie didn’t respond, but she made a decision in her heart.
