Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 717: It Had Been a While Since Someone Dared Speak to Tina Like That

"Country bumpkin?"

Tina's eyebrows lifted slightly; it had been a long time since she had heard such words.

She looked up to assess Kylie Lambert, who appeared no older than twenty. Exquisitely beautiful, it was no wonder she had risen to fame so quickly.

It wasn't just the influence of those behind her; her face surely played a part.

Tina's gaze returned to Hugo.

"What's going on? Didn't we agree that Juliet would be the only spokesperson for the perfume?"

She paused, noticing Hugo's evasive expression.

"You're in trouble, why didn't you tell me?"

"I will explain everything when we get back, Tina," Hugo replied with a troubled look.

"Miss Lambert, this is my daughter. Please mind your manners."

With that, he turned to face Kylie Lambert, his gaze clear.

Something was off.

Tina tugged at Jared's sleeve, signaling without words, and he immediately understood.

He gestured to Nathan to come closer.

Kylie, noticing Jared's indifference towards her and his attention solely on Tina, filled with jealousy, said, "Jared, look at them! If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have taken this ad. Now, their whole family is ganging up on me." Her voice, dripping with petulance, made Tina particularly uncomfortable.

Tina's beautiful eyebrows twisted into a sneer.

"Is Miss Lambert a hen? Clucking nonstop, one would think you're performing an egg-laying act for the Reed family."

Kylie's eyebrows shot up in anger, pointing at Tina.

"You, you country bumpkin! What right do you have to speak to me?!"
