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.

"But Hugo and Tina refuse to agree; how can we proceed with the engagement?" Pinewood frowned. "Yeah, they've now rented a house in Pinkwater Ally. They're not worried about living arrangements, so they're even less likely to agree," Talon added.

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 come to 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.
