Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 375: Arrest

Apart from Tina, Jared, and Logan, everyone in the Reed family was stunned into silence by Annabelle's words.

They never imagined that the usually gentle and kind Annabelle would have such a dark heart. Was she really

capable of killing out of jealousy? And killing ten people at that.

Muff was trembling with rage, shouting, "You! You wicked woman! Sydney always considered you a good friend,

and this is how you treat her?"

"Who wants to be her friend?" Annabelle's face twisted as she spoke. "I only befriended her to watch her fall

from grace. Unfortunately..." She glanced at Logan and sneered, "Logan loved her too much. No matter how |

schemed, he always believed in her. Even when | drugged her, Logan never suspected her of cheating!"

She turned back to Muff. "See? That's something you'll never match. Now you know why she chose Logan over

you. If it were you, you'd never believe her after seeing those things." "That's nonsense!" Muff growled. "Sydney

is perfect in my eyes. No matter what she does, | believe in her."

"Ha!" Annabelle felt a pang in her heart. "I've spent most of my life working hard for this family, but your heart

was never with me. Even now, you're praising Sydney. But what good does it do?" She laughed wickedly. "She's

dead! | burned her to death! Not only did she die, but her friends died because of her too! Ha ha!"

Suddenly, she started laughing maniacally. "You cto settle scores withtoday? What for? The evidence

you've provided can't prove | killed them. Even if you know it was me, you can't do anything about it. Muff, you

hateso what? You still have to faceevery day!"

"You!" Muff was furious and raised his hand to hit Annabelle, but she grabbed his hand tightly before he could

strike. "You still want to hit me? Do you think I'm defenseless? Lettell you, Muff, if it weren't for my love for

you, you'd be dead ten times over for what you've done to me!"

With that, she flung Muff to the ground harshly.

Damian was close by and quickly helped the old man up.

Muff stood up, looking at Annabelle in shock. "You know martial arts?"

Ridiculous! He prided himself on being smart but never noticed she knew martial arts. She had disguised herself

well all these years!

Annabelle leaned on her cane and glanced at him coldly. "Without sskills, wouldn't | have been trampled to

death in this Reed family? Since you despiseso much, from now on, stay put in the Reed family and watch

my face until you die!"

"You!" Muff wanted to speak, but Annabelle ignored him and turned to Logan. "Logan, the Reed family does not

welcyou. Take your grandson and get out of here! Never set foot in my house again! As for Jared and Tina's

marriage..." Annabelle looked at Tina with a cold smile. "Your paternity test shows you're Jasper's child, but |

don't believe it. You better not giveany reason to doubt you; otherwise, the Reed family won't tolerate you.

However... since you're now a Reed family child, follow our rules. | don't recognize your marriage with Jared!"

"Don't take my words as a joke; I'm not as foolish as Elizabeth. If you don't believe me, try it." Annabelle tossed

her cane aside and adjusted her hair calmly. "I've been pretending for so many years; I'm tired of it. It feels great

not to pretend anymore."

"Ha!" Jared and Tina laughed simultaneously, looking at Annabelle like she was a fool.

Even now, she remained calm as if everything was under control-this alone made her much stronger than

Elizabeth. However...

Jared put his hands in his pockets and lifted his brows slightly as he spoke slowly, "Tina, did you record

everything?" Tina smirked. "Yes!"

She took out her phone and played the recording of Annabelle confessing to her crimes with satisfaction.

"Perfect! We have all the evidence we need."

Annabelle was momentarily stunned before erupting in anger. "You tricked me?"

She had been careless! Really careless!

Muff's provocation had made her lose her mind; she forgot about the possibility of being recorded.

She had been confident that even if Jared and Tina produced evidence against her, they couldn't convict her

based on photos and call records alone-she had plenty of explanations ready. After all these years, overturning

the case wouldn't be easy.

She hadn't expected them to trap her like this.

Jared's lips curled into a charming smile. "Why would | spend so much tand effort investigating when I could

get the evidence so easily? This recording is enough to convict you; your dreams are shattered." The case from

back then was hard to solve after so many years.

He had been young then, and Annabelle had indeed been good at disguising herself-she appeared as a gentle

elder in his memory.

With limited technology back then and Annabelle covering her tracks well, no one suspected her involvement; he

hadn't either.

The investigation into Annabelle began when she arranged for Lily to tutor Zackary-he and Tina had started

suspecting something was off about Annabelle.

They dug deeper despite modern technology making it difficult to find evidence from so long ago.

He and Tina managed to recover an old call record from that time.

As for the photos-they were edited by him; the private chef had long since passed away.

Her household staff had changed multiple times over the years; many were no longer alive.

Besides the call record, there was no solid evidence linking Annabelle to his grandmother's death.

So Tina suggested forcing Annabelle into confessing herself.

Tina was smart!

The plan worked perfectly!

Jared gave Nathan Lehman a look; Nathan removed an invisible earpiece from behind his ear and ordered,

"Arrest her!"

Soon after, a team of law enforcement officers stormed in.

Their leader approached Annabelle directly. "You're suspected of murder; please cwith us for questioning."

Annabelle's face changed instantly. "No! I'm not going!"

Before the officers could react further, she struck back fiercely in an attempt to escape.
