Chapter 22: Mr. Farrell, Be Careful Not to Hurt Yourself At Moon Gate Estate, Elizabeth, Talon, Pinewood, and Amber sat with grave expressions in the hall. Their gazes were fixed on the smartphone in Amber's hand. Chief Kampwerth of the Ensford police department had personally clarified for Tina-she had not committed theft, and Elena, who was suspected of framing and defamation, had been taken away for investigation. Andrew Heisler and three law enforcement officers were also suspended for dereliction of duty. Amber, initially overjoyed, had thought she would no longer live under the shadow of Miss Reed's title. Yet, within a few hours, Tina had been released. Chief Kampwerth had even personally cleared her name. "Grandma, it must have been the Farrell family who sorted it out for Tina, right?" Amber put away her phone, masking the malice in her eyes with a docile facade, "I never expected the Farrell family to care so much about Tina." Her tone was sour, and her heart felt even worse. She certainly didn't believe that Jared had the ability to rescue Tina. He was a cripple, a nobody. In the Farrell family, no one but Jared's grandfather Logan could have managed this. But she couldn't understand why, even after the theft was exposed, Logan still wanted to save her. Did he care about Tina that much? Indeed! Who could value a good-for-nothing like Jared? Even if someone did, their family background wouldn't be impressive. The Reed family was a decent option. Naturally, Logan wouldn't want Jared to miss out. However, with Tina's history of theft, her image in Logan's mind must have suffered. Even if she married into the family, her days would not be easy.
With this thought, Amber's mood improved slightly. "Now that Tina has been released and the Farrell family hasn't requested to cancel the engagement, the engagement ceremony should proceed as previously planned," Elizabeth said, not expecting Tina to be released either. She had already contacted the media, ready to sell a tragic story. Yet before she could start, Tina was released. All her plans were disrupted, and she was highly annoyed.

Elizabeth fell silent for a moment, then looked up at Talon, "Talon, isn't your wife's birthday tomorrow?" "Yes," Talon replied, "but she doesn't want to celebrate this year." "Celebrate! And it should be grand!" Elizabeth stood up. "Send Hugo an invitation. Ask them to cto your wife's birthday party." The next day, at the hospital. Tina was supposed to apply ointment to Sophia yesterday, but the interference from Amber and Elena delayed her, and she didn't go. Today, she arrived early. Generally, Sophia's family wasn't around in the morning. Just as she reached the hospital entrance, she bumped into Jared and Hayden.
"Miss Reed?" Hayden was surprised to see her, "You're here so early? Are you not feeling well?" It was just past eight o'clock, and the outpatient doctors had just started their shifts.
Tina looked up, her lips parting slightly, "What did you call me?" "Miss Reed, right? Is there a problem?" Hayden was confused. The girl seemed unhappy.
Tina stared at him for a long tbefore she finally said, "No problem, well done!" Utterly disrespectful! Arrogant! Good! She took note! Hayden was perplexed. Was Miss Reed not quite right in the head? Jared sat in his wheelchair, his gaze drifting over them for a moment, his narrow eyes carrying a hint of coldness. His fiancée and his brother were treating him as if he were invisible? "Are you feeling unwell? Should I get a doctor to see you?" Jared's voice was pleasant, the coldness in his eyes already hidden.
"No need! I'm not here to see a doctor!" Tina left that remark and was about to enter the hospital when Jared suddenly called out, "Miss Reed!" Tina stopped and turned to look at him, "What is it?" "The engagement, have you considered it?" Tina's eyes narrowed, and after a moment, she looked up at Jared, her voice soft, "Agreed! The engagement ceremony will be moved to half a month from now."

In ten days, it would be Master Tam's death anniversary. No celebrations would take place before then. The reason she agreed to engage with Jared was to find out how he cinto possession of the pendant. Had he snatched it from her mother or stolen it? She didn't believe his story about an old acquaintance giving it to him. Jared's lips curled into a slight smile, his austere face lighting up with a faint grin, "Alright, as you wish." Tina glanced at him and suddenly, her lips curled into a smile, as she leaned closer to Jared, her voice laced with mischief, "Mr. Farrell, be careful. Getting too close tomight poison you!" With those words, she turned and left with a flourish. Jared watched Tina's retreating figure, the smile deepening on his lips. Poison? Indeed. She was capable enough to take down renowned international assassins with ease; she truly was 'poisonous.' But she reminded him of someone! Even their appearances bore similarities. If not for the fact that she was Miss Reed, he would have thought Tina was that woman's child.

"Mr. Farrell, we've found out sthings, but there's still no clue about the child," Nathan said with a grave face, "The information about the child is too scarce, and after so many years, her appearance has changed, making it difficult to find her." He paused before adding, "The place where they lived, we've asked the neighbors around, but no one knows where the child is now. They used fake names there, and we can't find any useful information." They reached the car, and Hayden and Nathan helped Jared into the vehicle. Outside, Jared was always 'disabled' and naturally couldn't get into the car by himself.
Jared sat in the backseat, Nathan drove, and Hayden sat in the passenger seat. As the car started, Hayden turned to Jared, "Mr. Farrell, do you think the child is already dead?" "They were chased down back then, her mother died, and she was just a nine-year-old girl. Where could she have escaped to? She was probably caught by those people long ago."
Hayden continued, "I think you might as well stop looking. The priority is to treat Sophia's illness. Besides, there's ap order from above to find the e whereabouts of that drug. If GTO finds it first, it would be unimaginable."
Jared leaned back in his seat, his eyes closed, as if deep in thought. After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes slightly, his voice raspy, "Perhaps, I have already found her." Hayden and Nathan were shocked, looking at him incredulously, "Found her? Who is it?" Jared lowered his gaze to the pendant in his hand, "Not sure yet."
He put the pendant back into his pocket, opened the window, and peered out with narrowed eyes, his "the bed eyes, his voice indifferent "The last known Ideation of the drug was in Ensford.
Dispatch Team Umbra, and investigate all outsiders who have appeared in Ensford in the past twenty years."
