Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee
Chapter 29: The Height of Shamelessness

As Jared appeared, all eyes turned to him, especially those of Amber's close friends, who immediately beamed with joy.

They clasped their hands over their chests, eyes gleaming, "So handsome! My heart is beating so fast."

"What to do, what to do, my face is so red, his eyes seem to bewitch people, I feel like I've deeply fallen for him."

"I can't handle it, I'm about to get a nosebleed, how can someone be this good-looking, I really want to marry him."

In the past, Amber would have scoffed at such talk, calling them fools.

What use was good looks?

Nothing but a waste of space.

But now, all she could think about was how to keep up the lie.

She thought Jared had mistaken her for someone else, surely unaware that Tina was the one who had saved Sophia, and she let the mistake slide.

Little did she expect to be publicly exposed by Sophia under such circumstances.

As Amber pondered how to smooth over the lie, Nathan pushed Jared up to her.

Jared's stern face was expressionless, his deep and narrow eyes coldly fixed on her, radiating a bone-chilling frostiness.

Beside them, Hayden wore a scornful smile, "Miss Amber, aren't you going to explain? Accepting our gratitude, yet you're not the one who saved Sophia, tsk tsk, I never knew our Miss Ensford could be so... shameless!"

Amber flushed with embarrassment, biting her lip with a pitiful look, "Mr. Farrell, Mr. Cohen, could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Oh?" Hayden raised an eyebrow, disdainfully saying, "Do tell, where did we misunderstand?"

"I did save a little girl around five who was scalded. When Mr. Farrell came to thank me at home, I thought he was referring to that girl, not realizing this was all a misunderstanding," Amber explained, adopting a woefully aggrieved demeanor, "Mr. Farrell, you mistook the person."

Hayden's eyes widened, completely astounded by Amber's shameless performance!

Could someone really lie with such a straight face?

In the end, by simply claiming Jared was mistaken, she deflected all blame onto him!

Incredible!

Hayden, unable to contain himself, gave Amber a thumbs-up, seriously saying, "Indeed, you are our Miss Ensford, I am impressed!"

Amber's face turned even redder, yet she swiftly composed herself.

She denied everything, what could Jared do to her?

Jared looked up, his handsome eyes fixing on her face as his cool lips curled slightly, his voice detached, "Since you did not save my sister, please return the gift from the Farrell family."

Amber stiffened, a surge of irritation within her. The fifty million dollar check was of no concern, as long as Tina and Jared got engaged, the Reed family would naturally receive investments.

But those medicinal materials were intended for Dr. Ward, and if she had to return them, how would she convince Dr. Ward to take her as an apprentice?

It was all Sophia's fault, coming out at this time, ruining her plans.

Yet, with so many eyes on her, if she didn't return the materials, her reputation would be ruined.

Amber's eyes narrowed slightly, then she said, "I wasn't aware of these misunderstandings. A few days ago, my mentor needed those materials to treat a patient, so I sent them over..." Pausing deliberately, Amber expected Jared to smoothly offer the materials to Dr. Ward, for who doesn't fall ill in their life?

Though Tina cured Sophia, who knew if it was just a fluke?

A country girl like Tina, what did she know?

Eventually, they would have to seek help from her and Dr. Ward, wouldn't they?

Waiting for Jared's response, Amber felt awkward when he remained silent, so she continued reluctantly, "I apologize, Mr. Farrell, can you give me some time to gather the materials and return them to you?" Her words carried a hint of grievance.

But to the onlookers, it seemed Jared was bullying Amber.

They spoke up for her, "Mr. Farrell, it was your mistake, you can't blame Amber, can you? You gave the gift, Dr. Ward needed it, she passed it on, let it go."

"Exactly, the Farrell family is wealthy, it's just some medicinal herbs, given away is given away, after all, isn't there still a marriage contract with the Reed family? In the end, it's all within the family, you haven't lost anything." "Let Amber go, look how frightened you've made the poor girl, her tears are about to fall."

Jared listened to the crowd, his gaze low and his hand resting on the wheelchair, absentmindedly fiddling with it, his face unreadable.

Elizabeth hesitated fora moment, then approached, "Mr. Farrell, it's all a misunderstanding. You didn't explain yourself clearly, causing such an embarrassment. Today is a birthday party, let's not talk about this anymore. As for the medicinal materials Amber used, don't worry, my Reed family will compensate in full."

Since the moment Annie targeted Tina, Elizabeth had been watching the stir here.

She hadn't intervened, effectively endorsing Annie's actions.

She never liked Tina, who constantly opposed her, never taking her seriously, and now was a good opportunity to let everyone see what Tina was really like.

Besides, she also wanted Hugo to realize his current plight, what was he without the Reed family?

So, she had been observing the drama from the sidelines, but now, she couldn't stand by any longer.

Who would have thought that the savior of Jared's sister was Tina?

She couldn't believe Tina could do such a thing and took it as mere coincidence.

That girl, always so lucky.

Jared's smile deepened, his voice as calm as a still pond, "So, it's my fault, is it?"

Amber smiled, poised and gracious, "Mr. Farrell, there's no need to apologize, I don't blame you."

At that, Hayden's eyes nearly popped out.

What to do?

He felt an urge to hit Amber.

And Tina, also shocked by Amber's shamelessness.

She had saved Sophia without a thought for reward, but learning that Amber had taken credit for her deed and claimed her thank you, she felt utterly disgusted.

At that moment, Sophia tugged at her clothes, Tina looked down.

Sophia winked at her, grinning, "Miss Reed, don't worry, Jared will make things right for you."

Tina, "..."

She wasn't in a hurry, nor did she want revenge.

She just felt a little suffocated.

"Ha," Jared laughed, that smile captivating yet not reaching his eyes.

He lifted his gaze, the chill in his voice growing, "Nathan."

Nathan was eager, and at Jared's word, he stepped forward, pulling out his phone, and opened several videos, "This is the surveillance footage from the mall entrance on the day Miss Sophia had her accident. Both Miss Reed and Miss Amber were present. However, Miss Amber watched indifferently, it was Miss Reed who saved someone."

Just a while ago, Jared had him pull all the footage from that day.

"I..."

Amber tried to explain, but Nathan didn't give her the chance, he played more videos, "Here is Miss Amber's schedule for that day, at twelve o'clock she left here, met with friends at the mall, encountered our Miss Sophia having her emergency, then left the mall for the Pinkwater Alley to visit the Heisler family, not leaving until seven in the evening..."

Nathan turned to Amber, his voice firm, "Please, Miss Amber, did you save a scalded five-year-old child while with the Heisler family that day?"

Then, looking at Elena, "Miss Elena, does your family have a five-year-old child?"
