Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 397: It Was Courtney



TCL Research Institute. Lily opened the door, naturally put on a white lab coat, donned gloves, and began preparing experimental tools. Researchers arrived one after another, looking surprised to see Lily. She remained unfazed, selecting necessary tools and addressing the puzzled researchers, “I am still the head of the institute and have not received any dismissal notice. Is there a problem with my presence here?”

The researchers snapped out of their daze. “No, Miss Ward, we didn’t mean that.”

“Then get back to work,” Lily said impatiently. “Deliver these items to my workspace later. No one is to disturb me while I’m working.”

She handed a list to her assistant, John. John glanced at it, surprised. These items were unrelated to previous experiments.

“Any objections?” Lily raised an eyebrow.

John shook his head quickly. “No, but Director, these items have never been used before and could cause adverse reactions if mishandled.”

Lily chuckled coldly. “Following the rules hasn’t completed Mr. Daryl’s tasks. If we don’t try something new, how long do you think your value will last? Or do you think your skills surpass mine?”

John closed his mouth and went to prepare immediately. Lily took the tools into her private lab. As the director, she had her own space where others rarely questioned her progress. This was convenient for the tasks Jasper assigned her.

Lily closed the door and placed the tools on the table, leaning against it as cold sweat covered her body. Conducting virus research under so many watchful eyes was immensely stressful. If she hadn’t established her authority as director so firmly before, it wouldn’t have been this easy to deceive them.

She took out the materials Jasper had given her-each word confidential and toxic. Completing this task was her only way to regain freedom and escape Jasper’s control. It was also the only way to catch Jared’s attention again.

Her eyes narrowed with determination. Tina, once this virus is developed, your end will come!

Meanwhile, Jasper removed his headphones with satisfaction. He had been closely monitoring Lily but wasn’t too worried. She was already a target for many; even Jared didn’t care if she accessed the lab or not. Lily’s high self-regard made her believe in her medical skills above all else. Only someone like Spectre or Wraith could make her bow down.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Thus, she would use her skills to prove herself by developing a top-tier virus.

Jasper smiled and went to a GTO hideout to find Eagle Flies.

“Mr. Kim,” Jane Campbell greeted respectfully at the door, bandages still on her head. It was her first time seeing Mr. Kim in person, though she wasn’t sure if it was really him.

Jasper acknowledged with a nod and sat down, his eyes behind the mask exuding authority and scrutiny but remaining silent.

Jane Campbell understood he was waiting for her to speak first. “Mr. Kim, I apologize for Hugo and Jennie being rescued; I couldn’t stop it.”

Jasper rested his head on one hand, continuing to stare at Jane Campbell.

She took a breath and continued, “The situation was sudden; I had no choice but to abandon them to protect myself. However-I obtained the serum.”

Jasper finally reacted with surprise. “You got the serum!”

“Yes.” Jane Campbell handed over the serum she had taken from Jennie’s bracelet after modifying it for concealment.

Jasper hurriedly took it to a nearby lab room-it was genuine!

Relieved, he returned and instructed Jane Campbell, “Stay out of sight for now and recover from your injuries. I’ll contact you through our usual methods for any tasks.”

He had chosen this meeting with Eagle Flies to see if she had betrayed the organization like Callum Maguire and others might have done. If he detected any signs of betrayal, he would have ended her then and there.

Fortunately, she proved herself smart enough.

Jane Campbell watched Mr. Kim leave before informing her brother Ray about meeting him.

The message quickly reached Jared.

Upon receiving it, Jared knew that Jane Campbell’s Mr. Kim was Jasper.

After that day, he instructed not to contact Jane Campbell directly but instead find opportunities for her to approach Mr. Kim cautiously.

Mr. Kim was too careful to appear openly often; capturing Jasper wasn’t feasible yet.

The serum now in his possession could be used to connect with the real Mr. Kim and gain Jane Campbell’s trust within GTO-leading them to GTO’s true leader!

Tina also received news from Jayden: “Spotted Jasper.”

Tina quickly replied on her phone: “Hold off.”

It wasn’t time to act against Jasper yet; they needed confirmation that Jane Campbell received her next order before proceeding.

Tina put away her phone and looked around at their surroundings from inside the car before frowning at Jared: “Why did she place someone dying here?”

They were at an abandoned building where Jane Campbell had mentioned a poisoned child near death was being kept-a place even beggars avoided.

Jared carefully led Tina through debris-filled corridors according to Jane Campbell’s map until they reached the top floor of the building-a small room equipped with medical devices!

On a bed in the center lay a child covered in tubes-Courtney!

Tina and Jared were shocked! Hadn’t Hayden arranged for Courtney to attend Kongham University?

Tina immediately checked Courtney’s condition-she was unconscious with severe symptoms of poisoning affecting vital organs.

After some emergency treatment sealing key acupuncture points and detoxifying toxins within Courtney’s body-they transferred her into Jared’s private hospital under close observation.

“Due to extensive damage from deep poisoning affecting lungs significantly she needs further monitoring.”

As Tina exited operating room while Courtney moved into intensive care unit.
