Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Elsa nodded. “Yes, I just checked their identities. They are agents, probably because they want to steal the biochemical weapon secrets. Heath and I are the heads of the laboratory.”

Tina lightly pressed her red lips together and looked back at Elsa with some guilt. “Why are you telling me such an important thing?”

Elsa glanced at Heath, who sighed silently. “Tell her, she has to know sooner or later.”

Elsa agreed. “Tina, we’ve been observing you for a while and know that you are a medical genius.”

“The reason we’ve been staying at home is that our organization gave us a task. They want you to join our lab to help the country complete the latest biochemical weapon.”

Tina looked at them with interest. “Biochemical weapon?”

“Yes, although it’s a time of peace, their organization is eyeing us, researching various viruses to disrupt world peace. We must be prepared. We’ve been working on this biochemical weapon project for many years but have made little progress.”

“Why do you think my joining will make a difference?” Tina raised an eyebrow and looked meaningfully at Elsa.

Elsa took a document from her bag-it was the perfume formula Tina had given to Hugo!

“I took your perfume formula to the lab for research. The head of the lab said that the data in it matched our biochemical weapon experiment very well. Because of your formula, we made a small breakthrough, so I sincerely invite you to join us and contribute to the country’s biochemical weapon efforts.”

Tina flicked her earlobe and said coldly, “I’m not interested.”

Elsa was taken aback by Tina’s straightforward refusal, not even bothering to be polite.

“I know today’s events made you worry about your safety, but rest assured, if you join us, we will ensure your safety in every way possible.”

Tina sneered. “If it weren’t for us today, would you two still be alive to tell me this?”

Elsa almost bit her tongue and looked at Tina with some difficulty. “Sorry, I was careless today.”

Heath also said, “We’ve recently shaken off many people trying to follow us. We didn’t notice anyone tracking us these past few days and thought those agents wouldn’t act again. Sorry.”

“Speaking of which, I find it strange that despite all the commotion we caused, none of the Farrell family’s bodyguards appeared until Mr. Farrell called someone over. Isn’t this place close to the hall? Could they not hear the explosion?” Elsa frowned, her face half-lit in the dim light as she pondered.

Heath also frowned deeply. “Tina, I suggest you avoid contact with the Farrell family for now. I’m worried…”

“You should worry about how to explain this to my parents,” Tina turned away, unwilling to deal with their “righteous” explanations.

Mentioning her parents brought a flash of guilt to Elsa’s face. “Tina, Heath and I aren’t actually a couple; we had to pretend for the mission. That’s why we haven’t married. But can you keep this secret? I don’t want Mom to worry.”

“Okay,” Tina nodded.

When they arrived at Hugo’s house, Tina and Elsa got out of the car together.

“Tina,” Jared emerged from the shadows.

Elsa understood they had something to discuss and politely greeted Jared before helping Heath into the house.

Jared and Tina got back into the car and removed a listening device from the back seat.

With a snap, Tina crushed it.

Inside the house, Elsa painfully removed a hidden earpiece from her ear and threw it on the table. “We need to try harder; otherwise, she won’t agree.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Heath nodded. “Yes.”

In the car, Tina disdainfully threw out the listening device. “Uncle, I let them win this round because of you; next time I won’t.”

Jared rubbed Tina’s cheek; her smooth skin felt like sugared milk under his fingertips. “Okay, next time we’ll do it your way.”

At that moment, Hayden called. Jared activated the Bluetooth system. “Speak.”

On the other end of the line, Hayden’s furious voice came through. “These bastards are tough; I’m requesting permission for enhanced interrogation!”

Jared replied calmly, “Treat prisoners well.”

Hayden seemed to punch something in frustration. “Damn it! They tried biting their tongues off! Did I agree? Captain, that’s not enhanced interrogation.”

“Fine, good job. Keep pressing them,” Jared said.

“Got it,” Hayden hung up.

Jared’s eyes grew cold as he spoke again. “These people might not know the truth; we need to find him.”

Tina nodded. “Don’t worry; I know what I’m doing.”

At the Farrell family home.

Jared opened the door to find Vivienne sitting beside Logan with red eyes.

Seeing Jared enter, Vivienne turned away and wiped her tears.

She only reacted after knowing Jared and Tina were safe.

Outwardly they remained good siblings within the family.

But Jared’s attitude towards her today had shocked her.

“Jared, come here,” Logan called out.

Jared unbuttoned his suit jacket and tossed it on the sofa. “Grandpa, what’s up?”

“Vivienne has something to say,” Logan replied.

Vivienne turned around reluctantly. “Jared, I know we were wrong today; Walter shouldn’t have insulted Tina’s parents in front of everyone. But do I deserve death for that? Just because of one word from Brookes family, you won’t let me go back to work? Isn’t that too much?”

Despite her failed plan, she had to continue acting as Jared’s loving cousin.

Jared picked up a teacup from the table and sipped some tea. “Securing cooperation with Brookes family will bring at least $300 million in annual profits for our company. Between profit and you, I choose profit.”

“I’m still part of Farrell family! I’ve generated more than $300 million for this company over the years! Are you going to disregard our family ties just because I offended Tina today?”

Jared looked up slightly; his deep gaze fell on Vivienne’s angry face. “Yes, if you offend her again, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in Ashbury.”

Vivienne stared coldly at Jared for a few seconds before speaking again. “You…”

“Vivienne,” Logan interrupted slowly as he took out a bank card from his pocket. “If it weren’t for your vanity today, things wouldn’t have ended up like this.” He handed her the card. “Take this; do whatever you want with it-Grandpa will invest in you.”
