Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The parents were all stunned by Ron’s words.

“Is Tina really a doctoral student? And a student of Professor Lininger? My goodness! That’s incredible.”

Previously, Mr. Stiller had said that Tina held two doctorate degrees, which they had doubted.

Tina was brought in by him, and who knew whether his words were true or false.

But the members of Professor Lininger’s team had personally confirmed it, proving it was true.

A sixteen-year-old doctoral student.

You wouldn’t find one in a hundred thousand.

It was an honor for Ensford High School to have such a highly qualified teacher.

“My daughter has been missing the Seed-A admission mark by over thirty points on her recent exams. If Miss Reed could tutor my daughter, she should have no problem getting into Seed-A universities.”

“My daughter too; she’s okay with humanities, but her science subjects are lacking. With doctoral student Miss Reed’s guidance, she should be able to bridge the gap.”

After their shock, the parents began to discuss among themselves.

However, this time, they were all consciously more respectful towards Tina.

Just as everyone was thinking about how to ask Tina to substitute teach for other classes, an untimely voice rang out, “Have you lost your minds, believing whatever they say? If Tina really has two doctorates at sixteen, why hasn’t the media reported it?”

The speaker was Mrs. Kampwerth.

Everyone was taken aback.

Indeed!

Why hadn’t the media reported it?

“I can’t believe Mr. Stiller would go this far for Tina, even bribing Professor Lininger,” Mrs. Kampwerth said, looking at Professor Lininger with scorn. “You are a highly respected professor, yet you stoop so low with Mr. Stiller, raising a country bumpkin who knows nothing to such heights. I have no respect for you. Go teach 22D if you wish; my child does not need someone like you as a teacher!”

Pausing, Mrs. Kampwerth added another line, “That Tina is just a bit prettier. You’re over sixty, old enough to be her grandfather. Could it be that you also have filthy thoughts about her?”

“Despicable!” Professor Lininger roared, “You are utterly abhorrent, slandering someone’s reputation without proof. People like you need to be educated by the law. If I don’t make you face legal action, I might as well not have lived these sixty years.”

Fuming, Professor Lininger turned to Ron and commanded, “Contact a lawyer for me right now. I want the Kampwerth family to receive a legal notice within an hour. Tell the lawyer, I will not accept any settlement!”

“Ha! Sue me, go ahead. Do you think I’m afraid of you? Shameless old man… ugh?!”

Mrs. Kampwerth’s words were cut short as Tina grabbed her by the throat, her delicate and cold face covered with a layer of frost, a chill emanating from her entire being. Her slender fingers tightened, her voice cold and piercing, “Did you think that because I did not retort to your insults, I am easy to bully?”

“You! Let go of me!” Mrs. Kampwerth’s face turned beet red as she desperately tried to pry Tina’s hands off.

But no matter how hard she tried, she could not loosen Tina’s grip.

“Tina! You dare to hit me? Let me tell you, if you dare to lay a hand on me, the Kampwerth family will not let you off!”

Tina leaned in close to her ear, her eyes narrowing colder still, “I won’t hit you! But I can make you die!”

“You dare! This is a society ruled by law!” Mrs. Kampwerth glared back at Tina, panic stricken inside.

In Tina’s eyes was a sheer coldness. When she had just talked about making her die, there was not a flicker of emotion.

In that moment, Mrs. Kampwerth felt that Tina really could make her die.

“Tina! Stop it right now!” Professor Lininger immediately shouted anxiously, “Don’t be reckless, this isn’t Serenity Ridge.”

Mr. Stiller and the other parents who had been dumbfounded when Tina grabbed Mrs. Kampwerth’s neck were snapped back to reality by Professor Lininger’s words. Mr. Stiller rushed to pull Tina away, “Miss Reed, what Mrs. Kampwerth said was unpleasant, but we can sue her. Don’t get yourself in trouble.”

Mr. Stiller was furious with Mrs. Kampwerth.

After Professor Lininger had confirmed Tina’s identity, the other parents had believed. Only Mrs. Kampwerth continued to nitpick.

She had even insulted Professor Lininger so rudely.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He hadn’t spent much time with Tina, but during the days he stayed in Serenity Ridge, he could tell that Tina held great respect forher mentor. Professor Lininger was Tina’s university supervisor, and now someone was slandering him this way. Anyone would be intolerant, let alone Tina.

The other parents also tried to calm her down, “Miss Reed, please be calm, don’t hurt anyone, Mrs. Kampwerth didn’t mean it.”

Although they somewhat agreed with Mrs. Kampwerth’s words, at that moment no one dared to speak out.

Because Tina was too frightening!

Her gaze was as stern as the King of Hell looking at a minor demon.

They knew country folks were somewhat rough, but they hadn’t expected Tina to be rougher, ready to strangle Mrs. Kampwerth right there in the school. It looked like she was about to kill her.

The parents were scared too, and said, “Miss Reed, today’s incident was our fault, we came to bother you without understanding the situation, please let Mrs. Kampwerth go, we won’t pursue this matter any further, and you can keep teaching class 22D.”

Tina’s icy gaze swept over everyone indifferently, and she withdrew her look with a cold demeanor.

She stared at Mrs. Kampwerth’s face and said coldly, “Apologize to Professor Lininger!”

“You expect me to apologize just because you say so? Why should I?” Mrs. Kampwerth, now emboldened by others speaking for her, no longer regarded Tina highly, her arrogance flaring up again.

“Professor Lininger is my mentor. You don’t have to apologize, unless you want to die.” Tina leaned in close to Mrs. Kampwerth’s ear and said coldly, “Don’t doubt me, I can make you die, and no one will know I did it.”

Mrs. Kampwerth inexplicably shuddered!

Facing Tina’s cold and grim eyes, she involuntarily shrank back, pondering for a moment before gritting her teeth, “Fine, I apologize!”

Once she left the school, she would make Tina regret this!

“Professor Lininger, I apologize. I spoke without thinking earlier,” Mrs. Kampwerth said with a respectful tone.

“I do not accept your apology!” Professor Lininger said angrily, “Please go back and prepare for the lawsuit.”

He had heard the words Tina had said to Mrs. Kampwerth, and he knew Tina could do it.

He was touched in his heart; this obstinate girl, always so cold on the surface, but very kind-hearted inside.

He refused Mrs. Kampwerth’s apology, partly to vent for Tina and partly to keep Tina from acting against Mrs. Kampwerth.

Some things, once started, cannot be undone.

Tina had a bright future ahead, and there was no need to get tangled up with Mrs. Kampwerth.

Tina let go of Mrs. Kampwerth.

Mrs. Kampwerth took several deep breaths, glared at Tina, and said through clenched teeth, “We’ll see about that.”
