Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

In Mr. Stiller’s office, Tina had Mr. Stiller print another set of exam papers ranging from elementary to junior high school. Just as the printing was completed, the people from 22D arrived.

“Miss Reed, Mr. Stiller!”

Typically, Mr. Stiller’s name should have been called first due to his position, but how could they resist when Tina was such a relentless oddball? The students were terrified of her, and she was the first they greeted.

Although Mr. Stiller had prepared himself for Tina to be able to tame 22D, he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon. In just one class period, these spoiled youths from 22D were completely under control, even politely greeting him. This was an unprecedented event!

Tina grunted affirmatively and pointed at the stacks of exam papers, “Take these to the classroom.”

The students internally groaned upon seeing the papers.

Oh no!

They were keen to learn, but did it have to be this quickly? They feared that completing these papers might be the death of them. Yet, they dared not complain and conscientiously carried the papers out.

Meanwhile, Mr. Stiller received a phone call, his expression turning serious. “I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up, he said to Tina, “Miss Reed, I have some things to take care of and must leave. I’ll leave this side to you.”

“Okay.”

Afterward, Ensford High School witnessed an unusual sight. During recess, the students of 22D were dutifully carrying papers, stunning the entire school, even prompting some teachers to come out and watch.

“Am I seeing ghosts? 22D students… carrying papers?”

“Is this some new torturous method they’ve concocted?”

“Didn’t you hear 22D got a new Lead Teacher? Normally, 22D would be the noisiest at this time, but today they’re moving papers? Could the new Lead Teacher have actually tamed them?”

“How is that possible? That’s 22D! The teacher who could subdue them probably hasn’t been born yet!”

The crowd was baffled!

Some sharp-eyed individuals spotted Tina walking with Velma at the back of 22D.

“Who is that girl? A new transfer student? Why is she with 22D’s Velma? Did she transfer to 22D?”

“What a pity! She’s so pretty, and yet she went to the den of 22D.”

“Appearances can be deceiving. Does 22D have any good people? Maybe she’s not an easy one either!”

Elsewhere.

Mr. Stiller hurried to the school gate, where a black sedan had just pulled up.

Several people got out of the car.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Mr. Stiller immediately greeted them, “Mr. Daryl, what brings you here today?”

“Just in the area and thought to stop by.” Jared was not in a wheelchair today, his long legs taking him forward step by step.

Mr. Stiller chuckled, “Mr. Daryl, you’re always so busy. It’s not easy to get an audience with you!”

Mr. Daryl, the chairman of Trident Group, had subsidiaries spread across the world. Moreover, he was the largest shareholder of Ensford High School. However, this shareholder typically did not involve himself with the school’s affairs, leaving many issues to be handled by other directors.

It was rare for Mr. Daryl to make an appearance; people could queue up for streets and not get to see him. Yet, he had come to Ensford High School today.

Mr. Stiller was suddenly very nervous!

The issue with 22D had been raised by Mr. Daryl a while ago, instructing the school to solve it. The board of directors, however, felt that the school needed investment to develop and thus continued to ignore the situation.

Perhaps Mr. Daryl had been too busy since he had not followed up on the school’s affairs after that incident.

Unaware of his inner turmoil, Jared surveyed the school grounds as he walked.

“Everything looks good here.” The greenery was well-maintained and the environment was quiet, suitable for the children’s learning.

Mr. Stiller quickly offered a flattering smile, “We do it for the children to have a better learning environment.”

Jared said nothing more, and they continued walking around the school. Since it was recess, there were many students around.

Approaching the teaching building, they overheard a group of students discussing.

“22D is unusually quiet today. We better stay away from them. Exams are coming, and we don’t want to let them affect our studies.”

“Of course. Who would provoke 22D for no reason? They’re a bunch of demons. It would be strange if they didn’t take a layer of your skin. Probably their new Lead Teacher has already been tormented away.”

“Let’s havea moment of silence for the new teacher.”

Mr. Stiller felt sweat form on his forehead.

Jared’s eyebrows knitted together tightly, and he glanced sideways at Mr. Stiller, his voice cool, “What’s going on?”

“Well, it’s like this…”

Before Mr. Stiller could finish, Jared’s gaze suddenly caught a familiar figure; he paused, “Why is she here?”

Following his gaze, Hayden and Nathan, who were with him, were also taken aback, “Tina?”

What was she doing at Ensford High School?

Was she attending school?

She hadn’t really attended school before, had she? Could she keep up with the curriculum now?

Hearing Tina’s name, Mr. Stiller was taken aback, “Mr. Daryl, you know our new Lead Teacher, Miss Reed?”

“Lead Teacher?”

“Lead Teacher?”

Hayden and Nathan exclaimed in unison.

Jared’s reaction wasn’t as exaggerated, but a trace of astonishment passed through his eyes.

“Yes!” Mr. Stiller looked up and pointed at Tina, who was following the 22D students carrying the papers towards the classroom, “If you’re talking about that lady, then yes, she is our new Lead Teacher, Miss Reed!”

“Damn!” Hayden’s curiosity was piqued, “Tell me, what’s going on? How did Tina become some Lead Teacher? She hasn’t even been to school; why would you hire her?”

Mr. Stiller was taken aback.

She hadn’t attended school?

Were they talking about the same person?

How could Tina possibly not have attended school?

She had been fast-tracked from the age of ten, taking exams in Yabuli at fourteen, and was the youngest to achieve a perfect score record, which made waves in the educational world.

More importantly, she had earned two doctoral degrees in Medicine and Biochemistry from Kongham University in just two years. Tina’s achievements were legendary in the field of education.

How could Mr. Daryl and his companions say she had not attended school?

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Stiller explained, “The thing is, the board of directors never truly wanted to address the issue with 22D. I’m willing but powerless. There was an order from above this year: if no one from 22D gets into university, the school’s elite status will be revoked.”

“Handling 22D is too difficult; no teacher wants to take them on. I had to find another solution, so I hired Miss Reed. And you wouldn’t believe it, Miss Reed is quite amazing. She only needed one class period to get those students in line.”

Hayden’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Tina was that formidable?

“The problem with 22D has remained unresolved, why didn’t you report it to me?” Jared’s voice was icy.

Mr. Stiller shivered, “It’s not that I didn’t want to report it! I simply don’t have the authority!”

He had wanted to report, but getting an audience was impossible.

Jared remained silent, his deep and narrow gaze following Tina in the distance. Suddenly, his lips curved into a slight smile and he asked Mr. Stiller, “Do they still need teachers?”

“Yes, indeed! Apart from Miss Reed, no other teacher is willing to teach them. I’m currently trying to recruit someone.”

“Arrange it then. Starting tomorrow, I’ll teach them PE.”
