Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Arthur trembled, nearly unable to stand, and could only muster the strength to respond, “Miss Reed, just say the word…”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Very well.” Tina’s delicate fingers tapped lightly on her chin. “Then, Mr. Farrell, you’ll be reassigned from the executive level to a security guard position at the company.”

“What did you say?!”

Arthur’s eyes widened in shock, unable to speak, while Hazel shrieked from the side, “Dad, Arthur is at least an executive in our company. Reassigning him as a security guard would be a slap in your face!”

Even if he was just a nominal executive without real power, he was still a known figure in the company.

“Dad, how can I become a security guard…” Arthur couldn’t accept this reality.

“Do as Tina says.” Logan Farrell watched his son crumble but remained indifferent. “You indeed need to learn a lesson.”

Arthur often caused trouble under the guise of being the eldest son of the Farrell family, which Logan had turned a blind eye to. But now that Arthur had crossed his line, Logan wouldn’t let their familial ties excuse him.

Nathan Lehman was still recovering, so Jared Farrell assigned another assistant to handle the matter.

In less than half an hour, Arthur went from being the influential eldest son of the Farrell family to a mere security guard at the company.

He was soon helped away by his son. Logan patted Tina’s hand with a sigh of relief. “You’ve been wronged; it’s my fault for not protecting you.”

“I’ve dealt with those who needed dealing with. Whether you want to stay with the Reed family or the Farrell family from now on, it’s up to you.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

Logan’s attitude was clear, and Tina understood that both he and Marie cherished her deeply.

“Grandpa, Tina and I have some matters to attend to,” Jared Farrell interjected at the right moment. “We’ll visit you another day.”

Logan looked at Tina with fondness and reluctantly waved Jared off. “Alright, but make sure you take good care of Tina.”

“If anything happens to her, I won’t forgive you!”

Jared Farrell sighed inwardly. Who was truly his grandchild here? It seemed Logan’s heart had shifted entirely towards Tina.

After leaving the hospital, they got into the car. The smile on Tina’s face faded.

“How is Nathan Lehman?”

Having been by Jared Farrell’s side for years, Nathan Lehman was no ordinary assistant.

“Don’t worry,” Jared reassured her. “He’s out of danger and recovering well.”

Though Tina’s brother wasn’t as skilled in medicine as she was, he had more than enough ability to save Nathan Lehman.

“That’s good.”

Tina nodded thoughtfully, her eyes darkening with resolve. “But I won’t let any of them off.”

An hour later, their car stopped in front of a suburban villa.

Tina walked straight into the basement as if it were her own home.

Jared seemed to know what she intended and followed without question.

The basement lights were on, and Cole Lyon awaited them there.

In the corner, a man was chained by his hands and feet, barely conscious and looking utterly defeated.

“Has he confessed?”

Cole shook his head. “He’s tough; despite torture, he hasn’t said a word.”

Hearing voices, the man struggled to lift his head. Upon seeing Tina and Jared, he grinned weakly. “Mr. Farrell, Miss Reed, long time no see.”

The man who had remained silent under Cole’s torture now spoke upon seeing Tina and Jared-a surprising turn of events.

“You know us?”

Tina and Jared raised their eyebrows simultaneously.

“The daughter of Ashbury Reed family and the seventh son of Farrell family,” the man coughed violently before spitting out blood. “Who wouldn’t know you?”

After Logan was attacked, Tina and Jared immediately launched an investigation.

They both suspected that whoever tried to kill Logan might have had another target in mind.

Had Logan not accidentally taken Jared’s car that day, it would likely be Jared lying in the hospital now.

“Who ordered you to do this?” Tina pressed without giving him a chance to breathe. “Who is your target?”

“Miss Reed is smart,” the man tilted his head with a sinister smile. “You must have some idea of what we want.”

Tina disliked beating around the bush. If not for Jared’s involvement, she wouldn’t have had the patience for this interrogation.

“I’m not interested in playing games,” she said coldly as she picked up a whip from the table. “Don’t test my patience.”

With that, she lashed out at his most vulnerable spot.

The whip had barbs coated with poison that caused excruciating pain and unbearable itching upon contact.

“Ah!”

The man’s screams were heart-wrenching.

If it were just the whip lashes, he wouldn’t fear or feel much pain. But with poison on it…

Even a tiny bit brought immense suffering.

“Cole,” Jared stepped forward to take the whip from Tina’s hand. “Let me handle this; don’t hurt yourself.”

Having been by her side for so long, Cole knew her well-she always preferred straightforward methods for interrogations.

For her to personally wield the whip today meant she was truly enraged.

Cole glanced at Jared and sighed inwardly-Tina had fallen in love!

He wondered how her eight brothers would react when they found out about this… And Hayden Cohen? He’d already been bought off by Jared!

Cole swung the whip harder each time until the man’s flesh was torn open before stopping. “Ready to talk now?”

Tina sat nearby with arms crossed, speaking leisurely. “I don’t mind spending all night here.”

The man lifted his head weakly; his vision blurred.

“Mr. Farrell,” he whispered hoarsely before uttering a name. “Our target is you…”

Indeed, their target wasn’t Logan but rather Jared himself.

Tina and Jared exchanged sharp glances before pressing further. “Who ordered you?”

A cold smile played on the man’s lips as he suddenly bit down on something hidden in his mouth.

“It’s poison!”

Tina realized too late as she grabbed his neck-but it was already over.

The man had bitten through a hidden pill and swallowed it whole.

“You’ll never know… who ordered… your death…”

He laughed maniacally before collapsing lifelessly.

Tina’s slender fingers tightened around his neck as an icy aura emanated from her body. “Want to die? It’s not that easy.”
