Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Martin Schafer didn't even get the chance to explain before the call was abruptly terminated. He stared at his phone, dumbfounded, then turned towards Tina, who was looking back at him with an indifferent expression. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

At that time, several of Martin Schafer's colleagues also received phone calls, their expressions changing instantaneously. One of them approached Tina and said, "I apologize, Miss Reed. It was our mistake for not verifying the information and misunderstanding you. The department has checked just now, and your graduation certificate is indeed authentic. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you!" Tina looked at them coldly, silent.

The staff members were panicking, worried that Tina would hold them accountable. They hurriedly explained, "Miss Reed, we are truly sorry. We did not know Martin had failed to check your information in the system. He has been fired, and we will compensate you for the trouble caused. Please forgive us this once."

These staff members genuinely didn't know their colleague had failed to verify Tina's graduation certificate information in the system. They had all been busy that day when Martin suddenly gathered them to investigate a case of a fake diploma. Martin, being of higher rank, naturally commanded their obedience.

Before leaving, they had specifically asked Martin if he had checked the system, and he had affirmed he did, but it turned out he hadn't.

At this moment, the staff members wished they could give Martin a beating. What grudge did they have to suffer like this because of him?

"Hmph!" Before Tina could speak, Professor Lininger stepped forward, scoffing, "If apologies were enough, what need would we have for the police? You've disrupted the university's schedule and falsely accused my student without evidence, causing her severe distress. We will not accept an apology; lawyers will be here shortly to handle this matter."

Professor Lininger glanced at Martin with an expressionless face, "Such a serious mistake at work, and you think firing is enough? I will have the lawyers investigate thoroughly to see if he has committed any other violations."

The staff members were in a difficult position but knew better than to say too much while Tina and her supporters were angry. After all, it was Martin who had caused the issue, and they needed to report back to their chief. So, they left with Martin in tow.

After they departed, Jared, who was sitting in the back row with the students, tapped his wheelchair and opened his thin lips slightly, "Nathan, arrange for someone to handle this."

"Understood," Nathan responded and took out his phone to make a call.

Tina sat back down, and the students and teachers behind her began to murmur again.

"What's going on? Why did those people leave?"

"I just overheard that Miss Reed's diploma is real."

Martin and Tina had been too far from them earlier, and their voices were not as loud, so not everyone had heard clearly.

While everyone was discussing, Mr. Stiller took the microphone and said, "As you all know, I've recently appointed a new Lead Teacher for 22D, Miss Reed. She has used her personal connections to invite Professor Lininger's team to teach in an effort to manage 22D well. However, many people have been dissatisfied, believing she got the position through connections."

Mr. Stiller paused before continuing, "Today, I will display Miss Reed's graduation certificate on the public screen for everyone to see for themselves whether she is fit to be a teacher."

As the education director displayed Tina's backup diploma on the public screen, the crowd was surprised to learn that she had not one, but two doctoral degrees, a fact known to few.

At the same time, Mr. Stiller's voice echoed again, "Miss Reed attended university at fourteen and earned two doctoral degrees by sixteen. Tell me, with such qualifications, does she need to use back doors?"

"Wow! Is Miss Reed really that amazing? A sixteen-year-old with doctorates? She's a genius!"

"22D has struck gold!"

Naturally, the students of 22D were the most shocked. They had initially been subdued by Tina because, indeed, she was not to be trifled with. They were afraid of her.

Later, when Tina invited Professor Lininger's team, they thought it was just because Tina had broad connections, but she hadn't taught them herself. They believed Mr. Stiller brought in Tina merely to awe them and let Professor Lininger's team teach properly.

But now, they realized Tina's educational background was so impressive! This was indeed a windfall for them.

With a genius teacher like Tina and Professor Lininger's team, they could see a glimmer of hope for their future.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Amber sat in the front row, clenching her fingers so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh without her feeling the pain. Her face was pale, her lips tightly pursed as she stared at the certificate displayed on the screen, momentarily convinced she was hallucinating.

Beside her, Elena was equally stunned. "How can this be? Tina is actually a doctoral student? Amber, hasn't she always been in the temple, never coming down the mountain? How did she take the exams?"

Amber's face remained calm, but she didn't answer. How could she have anticipated Tina's academic credentials were genuine? Ever since Tina returned, Amber's title as Miss Reed had reverted to Miss Amber. She had become the adopted daughter again. She had thought she could find some sense of superiority over Tina in academics, but Tina had slapped her in the face with her accomplishments.

Tina! Why should she?

How could a country girl become a university scholar at fourteen, ace her exams, and earn two doctoral degrees by sixteen? Why was Tina, also a daughter of the Reed family, now her teacher?

No! It must be that Tina had cheated! It had to be!

But without evidence, Amber couldn't expose Tina.

Watching the admiration in the eyes of the other students and teachers for Tina, Amber felt a sting of jealousy. She could not allow herself to be outdone by Tina. Absolutely not!

After the issues regarding Tina's academic credentials were addressed, Mr. Stiller resumed the meeting. The conference lasted over two hours. Due to the delay caused by the authorities, it was already twelve o'clock when it ended.

Tina and Jared returned to Pinkwater Alley, with Nathan driving as usual. Tina took out her phone to message Cole when Jared said, "That Martin who came today, he's the uncle of what's her name...?" Sorry! Names of people I'm not familiar with are quickly forgotten!

Amber: Are you serious?

Just as Tina was about to answer, Jared waved his hand dismissively, "Her name isn't important, Martin is her friend's uncle."

Hearing this, Tina pocketed her phone and looked at Jared seriously, "Her name is Amber, and her classmate is Elena, Mr. Farrell, that's a bit rude."

Jared glanced sideways, his lips curling into a smirk, "They don't deserve my politeness!"

Tina, "Well said-makes sense!"

"I'll make sure the Heisler family has some issues to deal with, to take some heat off you," Jared changed the subject.

"Thanks," Tina said, not refusing the offer. She had been planning to deal with the Heisler family herself.

Martin being Elena's uncle had come to light when he announced his name, and she had already instructed Cole to look into it. First, they had falsely accused her of theft, and now of forging documents! The Heisler family must think life is too good and are seeking to add some spice. She would fulfill their wish!

However, with Jared willing to take action on her behalf, it saved her some trouble.
