Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Velma’s eyes nearly popped out of her head in shock!

Holy cow!

Could money really solve the problem with them?

Why didn’t she think of using this method before?

Three hundred thousand!

She had that much!

But this Miss Reed was truly impressive; she could have run away but instead, she turned back to help her out of trouble.

Velma was so moved!

Tears of gratitude were about to stream down her face.

Amidst her astonishment, she heard Tina pointing at her and saying, “Okay! Three hundred thousand, she’ll pay you!”

Velma, “…”

So much for being touched!

“Her?” Chopard looked at Velma with disdain, “Does she have that much money?”

He didn’t believe it!

And no wonder he didn’t!

Who would, given Velma’s usual unkempt getup, dressed in drab clothes, with red hair one day, yellow the next?

Like now, the clothes she was wearing were not even as valuable as those worn by the girl next to her.

Although Tina didn’t seem wealthy either, at least she had the confidence to speak of two hundred thousand dollars straight out.

Unlike Velma!

If she had money, she would have used it to settle things long ago, why go through all this trouble?

Velma in her plain attire, “…”

She, the esteemed daughter of the Lehman family, was being looked down upon!

Damn it!

With this in mind, Velma stood tall and said with her head held high, “Look down on who? Give me the account number, three hundred thousand, I’ll transfer it right away!”

Chopard skeptically gave her the account number.

Velma handled her phone deftly and transferred three hundred thousand quickly.

Within a minute, a message arrived on Chopard’s phone.

He counted the numbers in the message, still in disbelief, “Tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands… Holy smokes! It really is three hundred thousand!”

Velma had so much money!

He should have asked for five hundred thousand!

What an oversight!

But he was a man of his word, having said three hundred thousand, he wouldn’t go back on it.

Chopard happily pocketed his phone, smiling obsequiously, “Ah, Tina, all that before was a misunderstanding. From today onwards, any grudges between us are wiped clean. If you sisters ever need anything around here, just let me know, and I will help with all my might.”

“Sounds good!” Having resolved a grudge, Velma was also all smiles, “Just make sure your people don’t bully me from now on.”

She had only known money could buy nice clothes, cosmetics, food, and entertainment.

Who knew it had this use too!

Lesson learned.

“That goes without saying!”

Chopard paused, then leaned in and whispered to Velma, “Of course, if there’s anything you can’t handle, you can tell me, and we can negotiate a price.”

Velma, “… I have something else to do, I should go now.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Velma walked with Tina and her three friends to the corner of the street and then let the three friends go first.

When only she and Tina were left, she said, “Thanks for just now.”

“No need to be polite.” Tina’s eyes curved in a smile, “You helped me too.”

Velma knew she was referring to the matter with the Reed family, “That wasn’t really helping you, I just can’t stand Amber.”

It was only their second meeting, but she felt a connection with Tina.

Previously, while at the Reed family’s place, she heard people say Tina was bad-tempered and always had a cold face.

But now, seeing her smile, which was very warm and heartening, she realized it wasn’t true.

Tina chuckled softly, not responding.

“Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Velma, Velma Lehman. I don’t have many friends. If you don’t mind, can we be friends from now on?” Velma extended her hand.

She had lots of friends, too many to count.

But they weren’t real friends.

They were after her money, always freeloading, waiting for her to pick up the tab. However, she had money and didn’t mind those things.

After a brief interaction with Tina today, she felt Tina was different, and she wanted to be friends with Tina.

Tina reached out and shook her hand, “I’m Tina, Tina Reed! Let’s hang out when you’re free.”

Hmm.

She didn’t have friends either.

Having more friends was a good thing.

“I’m twenty, how old are you?” Velma asked.

“Nineteen.”

“I’m older, so I’ll call you Tina, and you call me Velma?”

Tina??

A twitch appeared at the corner of Tina’s mouth, “Ifthat makes you happy.”

As they chatted casually, they arrived at the Lehman family home. Velma had wanted to invite Tina for dinner, but she declined. She then offered to take Tina home, which was also declined. In the end, all Velma could do was bid Tina farewell, “Then I’m heading home. Send me a message when you get back to check in. I have school on Monday, but let’s hang out on the weekend.”

“Sure,” Tina agreed.

They had exchanged phone numbers just a moment ago.

After Velma entered her house, Tina also returned to Pinkwater Alley. As soon as she walked in, Hugo immediately inspected her from head to toe and then asked seriously, “Jared didn’t mistreat you, did he?”

Tina felt somewhat helpless, “No, he’s a decent person!”

Hugo sighed with relief, glad that she hadn’t been mistreated, but he still earnestly advised, “Tina, even though you’ve agreed to be engaged to Jared, you must protect yourself. Before you marry, don’t do anything that shouldn’t be done, okay?”

Tina, “…”

What had she done?

Seeing her silent, Hugo continued, “Jared seems polite and well-mannered for now, but no one knows what he’s really thinking. Be careful, if he dares to take advantage of you, then, then…”

Hugo thought for a moment, then rushed into the bedroom and came back with a spray bottle, “This is from Jennie’s dressing table. Keep it in your bag. If Jared tries anything, spray him, spray him dead!”

Tina looked up at the sky, thinking-Jared was quite pitiful!

“I’ll buy you a few more pepper sprays tomorrow. Make sure to have one in your bag,” Hugo said, taking care of things on his own.

“Okay, I got it,” Tina accepted Hugo’s kind intentions with a smile.

“I’m telling you…”

Hugo wanted to give more instructions, but Jennie suddenly interrupted, “Enough, Tina is grown up, she knows how to protect herself. She’s had a long day, let her rest now.”

Seeing this, Hugo didn’t say any more.

After bidding them good night, Tina returned to her room, sent messages to Jared and Velma to check in, and then went to sleep.

The next day.

Because she had gone to bed late the night before, Tina was still asleep at eight o’clock. A banging on the door woke her up.

She had just opened her eyes when she heard a roar from outside, “Tina, you little brat, come out here, do you know you’ve ruined me!”

Tina’s brows furrowed, and a hostile aura enveloped her.

When she came out of her room, Hugo had already opened the door.

The visitor was Talon!

As soon as he saw Tina, he bellowed in rage, “You little wretch, I knew you were a curse, nothing good happens when you’re around, and that’s not all, you even dared to drug me. Now the media is all over it, I’ve lost my people, Ivy is going to divorce me!”

“I’m warning you! Go to Ivy right now and tell her that you set me up, otherwise we’re not done!”
