Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The video recorded every detail of what happened that day at the Pace family estate, clear and complete, while River's live broadcast was watched by the entire nation. It was a dramatic reversal.

Online, furious netizens were venting their outrage, feeling utterly deceived and manipulated. They united in condemning River, calling her despicable. "Unbelievable! Reversal after reversal! River, why don't you just drop dead?"

"This proves General Praevion has great judgment. He saw through everything at a glance. Everyone else, stay out of other people's business!"

"Did you all see it? River didn't care at all about her brother. It was Alina who jumped in first to save him. Who even is this woman?"

"River obviously used her brother as bait. She doesn't care about his life or death-just her own survival."

"And don't forget, she's shameless! She wanted someone else's rare Twin Lotus, a priceless treasure, and even used her brother as an excuse!" "Alina is the best woman I've ever seen. The best! Alina, we love you!"

"Tomorrow is General Praevion's wedding. Wow, we have to celebrate this. He's found a gem!"

"River owes her life to Alina convincing General Praevion to save her, and she repaid kindness with betrayal. Truly despicable!"

River sat in front of her computer screen, watching the endless stream of hateful comments autoplay. Enraged, she slammed her fists on the desk, yelling, "Shut up! Shut up, all of you!"

Her arm was bleeding profusely, the flesh torn open, but she seemed oblivious to the pain. She kept smashing her fists against the computer, muttering through clenched teeth, "Tina, Alina, go to hell!"

The next morning, golden sunlight poured in, radiant and vibrant.

On Ashbury Island, a collection of the world's most luxurious sports cars parked in rows, encircling the island like a coiled dragon.

Guests arrived dressed in lavish attire, holding wedding invitations as they entered through the grand gates. By the entrance, a photo of Alina and Ruud's wedding portraits was displayed, showing them as a perfect couple destined for each other.

Above, eighty drones hovered in the sky, operated by skilled professionals to live-stream the wedding to a global audience.

Past the gates, thousands of blooming roses formed a dazzling display, accompanied by elegant white sculptures that exuded purity and grace.

Jared stepped in, wearing a black suit with a bow tie, his movements poised and dignified.

Tina accepted his invitation, her delicate brows arching slightly as she smiled warmly. "Please, come in."

Jared moved to her side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her. His voice was low and magnetic. "I'll wait here with you for Ian."noveldrama

Tina's red lips curved into a faint smile. She wore a black swan-inspired gown with a long train. The layered black tulle cascaded down in waves, while the strapless design accentuated her graceful curves. Her thick, jet-black hair was styled into a floral bun, with soft curls framing her face. She was both cold and stunning-a vision of ethereal beauty.

Jared couldn't take his eyes off her, captivated from the moment he saw her.

Not far away, Ian approached in a sharp blue suit, his steps confident and exuding a natural charisma. Beside him was Master Tam, similarly dressed for the occasion.

Behind them were several members of the Brookes family, including Angela, Isaac holding Scarlett's hand, and the two little ones, Kiki and Mimi.

The moment Kiki and Mimi spotted Tina, their eyes lit up, and they ran to her, throwing their arms around her legs.

Tina smiled gently, stroking the children's hair. As Ian came closer, Tina stepped forward and greeted him sweetly, "Ian." Jared followed, his tone warm. "Ian."

Ian's eyes crinkled into a smile, his gaze glowing with affection. "Good, good. When you were staying at home every day, I didn't feel it much. But now that you've been living with the Pace family, I really miss having you around." Tina laughed. "Then I won't stay at the Pace family anymore. After my mom's wedding, I'll move to the Brookes family estate."

Ian quickly waved his hands. "No way! As much as I'd love to have you back, if you return now, Warren will skin me alive!"

Tina chuckled. "It's not that bad!"

With that, she greeted a few uncles and Angela, then invited them inside.

The Brookes family followed Tina toward Alina's room. Their presence was commanding, impossible to ignore. Guests in the grand hall turned to look, marveling at their imposing aura.

Warren was also in the hall. Spotting Ian, he strode over with a broad grin. The two older men exchanged a knowing smile, while the Brookes family children greeted Warren with impeccable manners, reflecting their distinguished upbringing. In Alina's room, she sat elegantly in front of the mirror, her skin as flawless as white jade. She turned her head with a serene smile, her eyes sparkling with warmth. She looked as gentle and beautiful as a camellia blooming on a mountainside. The moment Ian saw her, his emotions surged, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.

The Brookes brothers burst into laughter. "Dad, you haven't even walked her down the aisle yet, and you're already crying! What are you going to do on stage?"

Ian shot them a sharp glare. Raising sons was nothing compared to having a daughter-his Alina, his thoughtful, gentle little treasure!

The tears that had been welling up in Ian's eyes instantly evaporated. He turned away from his mischievous sons, refusing to even speak to them. If it weren't for Alina's wedding, he'd have kicked each of them out by now! Alina couldn't help but laugh at the scene. Her brothers always knew how to lighten the mood, and the atmosphere became lively and cheerful.

Angela stepped forward, taking Alina's hands in hers. Her eyes were filled with emotion as she spoke earnestly, "Alina, today you're marrying General Praevion. Congratulations! But in my heart, you'll always be my Alina." Alina smiled brightly, nodding from the bottom of her heart.

Angela then presented her with a gift box-a beautifully crafted, vintage-style box adorned with traditional cloud patterns. Just the sight of it was breathtaking. Kiki and Mimi were immediately drawn to the exquisite box, their little eyes sparkling with delight.

But the two children, ever polite, clapped their hands in admiration instead of touching it. "Aunt Angela's gift is so beautiful!"

Angela smiled softly, the warmth reaching her eyes, and opened the box. Inside was a ceremonial wedding fan. The round fan was designed in a classic red hue, embroidered with gold and jade threads.

The outer rim was decorated with strings of white pearls, forming intricate five-petal flowers. Gold embellishments and ornate details added to its brilliance, while long tassels hung gracefully, swaying with a delicate sound in the breeze. Even from afar, the craftsmanship was evident-complex, intricate, and breathtakingly refined.
