Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Angela furrowed her brow, her fists clenched tightly. "Cunning as a rabbit, utterly despicable!" she muttered under her breath. What angered her even more was Rachel's secret collusion with the Five Poisons. "Traitor!" she thought. Meanwhile, Eagle Flies stealthily sent a message to Tina. Knowing she was no match for Angela, she could only silently summon Tina for help. But before her joy could be expressed, Angela grabbed her by the shoulder.

"Little one, why won't you listen?" Angela said with a smile, though her smile was more painful than knives stabbing into Eagle Flies. Trying to resist, Eagle Flies realized she was powerless. Angela effortlessly took her phone and tied her up in a chair, even drawing a little peach heart on her forehead. As she tapped on the phone, Angela spoke, "I can't meet Tina now. Two hours after I leave, she will come to rescue you." Having said that, Angela left the phone beside Eagle Flies and departed. Eagle Flies could only watch helplessly; the message was sent, but it would only reach Tina two hours later. "Such misfortune!"

Rachel had just reached the gate when she heard laughter coming from inside. She pursed her lips, knowing Grandpa Brookes was angry with her over today's incident. Yet, the next moment, she heard Tina's voice! "How is she still here?" In the Brookes' yard, Tina was joyously looking at a strawberry cake in front of her, bearing not only the names Kiki and Mimi but also her own. Scarlett, somewhat embarrassed, said to Tina, "I haven't perfected my frosting skills, you'll just have to bear with it." Jack, with his arm around Scarlett, added with a smile, "Aunt Scarlett knew you liked strawberry cake. You never told us your birthday, so we thought we'd celebrate it with Kiki and Mimi's!"

Tina had kept silent about her birthday, uncertain if her mother was still alive and not wanting to share it with others. Now that she knew her mother was alive, she had not yet had the chance to tell everyone. Though today was not her birthday, it felt heartwarmingly right. "I was just thinking about gorging myself on strawberry cake on my next birthday, and here it is today. No wonder every time I saw Scarlett, she was either studying how to make strawberry cakes or actually making them. I thought it was just a passing interest."

The cake, though far from perfect, with uneven strawberries and smeared cream, was in Tina's eyes the most delicious and perfect strawberry cake ever. "Thank you," she managed, unable to articulate her profound gratitude. Brandon playfully smeared some cream on Tina's nose. "Happy birthday, crybaby!" cheered Kiki and Mimi. Tina, wiping away tears, smiled as she stooped to blow out the candles with Kiki and Mimi. Grandpa Brookes watched with a tender, peaceful smile, a rarity for him to show such tranquility and contentment.

Rachel, standing at the gate, observed this scene of a loving family with a burning hatred in her eyes, especially towards Tina. She fantasized about tearing Tina's face off, trampling and burning it, much like she had once unhesitatingly thrown a rock at Alina, pushing Tina into an abyss of despair. "She should have never come back," Rachel thought bitterly, her mother already dead, what was the granddaughter doing here? "They should all die!"

Tina felt a strong gaze from behind and turned around to see Rachel. "Ah, it's Rachel. The last person who looked at me with such hatred was what's-her-name, Lily, I think. Forget it, can't remember." As everyone followed Tina's gaze towards Rachel, their expressions varied, but none seemed pleased to see her at this moment. Grandpa Brookes stepped forward, "Rachel, go to the study and wait for me. I need to talk to you." Rachel snapped out of her reverie and nodded silently. As Tina received Eagle Flies' distress message, she tucked away her phone. "No need, Uncle, we have something else to do," she said, as Brandon teasingly inquired about their plans, hinting at a romantic date. Before he could finish, Grandpa Brookes, unable to restrain himself, chased Brandon with his cane, shouting about respect for elders.

As Tina and Jared left, Scarlett, leaning on Jack, handed Jared a packet of gold cards for various local attractions. "Have fun on your date!" she called out cheerily. Tina chuckled, "I'll come see you again soon." After Tina's departure, Grandpa Brookes, having scolded Brandon enough, finally entered the study to deal with other matters.
