Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina watched Mrs. Kampwerth's retreating figure with a flicker of cold light in her eyes. She slipped her hand into her pocket, pulled out her cell phone, and was about to make a call when suddenly, an old pair of hands rested on her shoulders. Tina turned to see Professor Lininger shaking his head at her. She kept silent for a moment and then put her phone back. She almost lost her composure again.

She had more important things to do as she descended the hill. If she exposed herself, it would bring trouble to Hugo's family. Tina restrained her gaze and coldly said to the other parents, "I'll repeat myself; you can't decide whether I stay or leave. If you have any doubts about my qualifications, you can go to the relevant authorities." She looked up, her icy gaze sweeping over everyone, "Don't teach me how to conduct myself-you're not qualified!"

After speaking, Tina, with Professor Lininger and his entourage, headed to Room 22D. Once they left, Mr. Stiller sighed looking at the dozen or so parents before him, yet he patiently said, "Miss Reed's degree certificate's authenticity can be verified by the authorities. It took a great deal of effort to hire her, and I won't fire her."

"Moreover, since she arrived, she managed to discipline the students of 22D in just one lesson. Whether Miss Reed has a degree or not, the fact that she could handle 22D is something to be happy about. Don't you wish for your children to have a good learning environment?"

"Professor Lininger's team was invited by Miss Reed. Currently, the academic performance of 22D is poor. They will devise a study plan for them. Once 22D stabilizes, I will discuss with Miss Reed about having Professor Lininger advise other classes as well."

Hearing Mr. Stiller say this, the parents didn't say much more and dispersed. Of course, they wouldn't go to the authorities to confirm whether Tina was indeed a doctor. Like Mrs. Kampwerth, they didn't believe she could be one. However, with things having escalated to this point, they wouldn't stop Tina from staying at the school.

Most importantly, having Professor Lininger teach other classes was a good thing. Considering the current situation, Professor Lininger's team would stay in Ensford until the end of the exams, so they would not only teach other classes for one lesson. For their children, this was an opportunity.

Tina took Professor Lininger and his team to Room 22D. Upon reaching the classroom door, someone yelled, "Attention!" The whole class stood up and respectfully greeted, "Miss Reed!" The one who called out was Velma. After school the previous day, Albert pulled everyone into a group chat (usually everyone was divided into factions, with little harmony, and no group was formed), calling for the election of class officials to strictly enforce class rules. After some discussion, they decided to appoint Velma as the class president. It was natural for her to accept, as Tina was her close friend and now her Lead Teacher, and she could help her with more responsibilities. Professor Lininger, seeing the students so polite, thought he was seeing things, "What is this??" Tina smiled at Professor Lininger, "The kids are very sensible." Professor Lininger, "..." Don't forget, you are a child too!

Tina gestured for the students to sit down and then introduced, "This is Professor Lininger from the Physics Department of Kongham University, who will be in charge of your physics course." She pointed to Ron, "This is Mr. Ron, who will teach you chemistry." She introduced another teacher, "This is Mr. Berrycloth, who will be responsible for teaching English." Tina introduced the rest of the teachers in turn.

The students were overjoyed! These were teachers from Kongham University! Were these going to be their teachers from now on? With their guidance, even a pig could score over the graduation threshold of 150 points on the exams. So, they all immediately said in unison, "Professor Lininger, Mr. Ron, Mr. Berrycloth..."

Their voices were loud and full of vigor. Professor Lininger smiled with satisfaction, "Good, it seems I had misunderstood you before. Study time is precious, and I won't waste it. Starting now, we need to reassess and then develop a study plan for you."

Hearing that there would be another test, the students were not even slightly annoyed but even more excited. "Thank you, Professor Lininger!" they chorused.

Tina gave a few brief instructions and then left. From now on, the students of 22D would be boarding at the school, with Professor Lininger in charge of their studies and her responsible for their daily lives. She needed to arrange the next steps.

Asshe reached her office, Mr. Stiller arrived, accompanied by two people. Nathan and Jared! Jared was still in his wheelchair, with Nathan pushing him. Tina turned her head and saw Jared, pausing for a moment.

Mr. Stiller came in and cheerfully said to Tina, "Miss Reed, I've recruited a P. E. teacher for 22D. You'll need to work together from now on." He introduced Jared to Tina, "This is Mr. Farrell!"

Tina was puzzled, her mouth twitching as she looked at Mr. Stiller, struggling to get out a few words, "Are you kidding me?"

Mr. Stiller looked surprised, then seriously said, "No, I'm very serious about telling you this!" He touched his face, asking earnestly, "Does my expression look like I'm joking?"

Tina was at a loss for words. Just leave! I don't want to talk!

"Miss Reed, please take good care of me in the future," Jared extended his hand, smiling as he greeted Tina. His fingers were long, and the pads were pale.

Tina glanced at his outstretched hand, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Did the Farrell family go bankrupt?"

Jared's smile twitched, can't you wish me any good? As my fiancée, how does the Farrell family's bankruptcy benefit you?

He coughed lightly, maintaining a serious tone, "My grandfather says I'm engaged and need to support my wife and kids on my own. To make me self-reliant, he has cut off my cards. I'm broke now." Logan: I'm not, I didn't, stop spreading rumors! Listen to my explanation! This kid is setting me up!

Tina was speechless. You and your grandfather really know how to play.

"We don't need a P. E. teacher," Tina told Mr. Stiller, "With only three months left until the exams, 22D's schedule is too tight, and P. E. classes have been cancelled."

Mr. Stiller looked troubled as he glanced at Jared. He had no issues with Tina's arrangements. 22D was different from the other classes; they were way behind and needed to catch up as soon as possible.

"Tina, you know I'm disabled, no company will take me in. If you don't want me, I have no living expenses. Grandfather and Sophia are relying on me now, and I have to support them. We're quite poor," Jared said pitifully. Tina remained silent. Disabled? No company will take you in? Poor? Have you no shame?

Nathan behind Jared was speechless. Mr. Farrell, does your conscience not hurt when you say that?

Mr. Stiller, seeing Tina's cold face and silence, spoke up in an attempt to persuade her, "Miss Reed, the kids still need a balance of work and rest. What do you say to letting Mr. Farrell stay?"

Before Tina could respond, Mr. Stiller added, "I've already signed a contract with Mr. Farrell. If we don't keep him, I'll have to pay him double his salary. Oh, and he's being paid fifty thousand dollars a month."

Tina was shocked. Fifty thousand dollars a month for a P. E. teacher? Are you joking?
