Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina gave him a cold glance but said nothing. Instead, Logan spoke up, “Tina, if you were so worried, you should have given Nathaniel a warning earlier. You didn’t say a word. Is there something you’re concerned about?”

Hugo was left speechless. Sensing the tension, Jennie quickly stepped forward and said, “We are outsiders after all. How can we meddle in the Farrell family’s affairs?”

“Tina has Jared and Mr. Farrell’s support. I believe she won’t be mistreated.”

“Really?” Logan gave them a meaningful look. “I’m tired. I’ll go rest now. You can stay a bit longer and finish your tea.”

Hugo hurriedly waved his hand, “No need, thank you for your hospitality, Logan. We won’t disturb you any longer.”

Since they were being dismissed, he knew better than to overstay their welcome.

Jared put his arm around Tina’s shoulder and said, “I’ll take you home.”

Tina looked up at him and smiled, “Alright.”

Even though Jared hadn’t spoken earlier, she could feel his anger. She knew he was holding back for Logan’s sake and refrained from confronting Nathaniel directly. But in the end, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

That kick had completely incapacitated Nathaniel.

Walking side by side ahead, Hugo and Jennie trailed behind awkwardly, their expressions somewhat uneasy.

Throughout the meal, they had revealed many flaws.

Tina had been testing them intentionally, while others watched their performance with interest.

“What should we do…” Jennie whispered to Hugo, signaling with her eyes.

Hugo didn’t respond but kept his gaze fixed on Tina a few meters away.

If he didn’t act soon…

As they reached the Farrell family’s courtyard, Jared was about to get the car to take Tina home when suddenly someone sprang out from the bushes and lunged at her.

A flash of a blade caught Jared’s eye as he quickly stepped forward.

“Tina! Watch out!”

The shout came not from Jared but from Hugo behind them.

As Jared shielded Tina, Hugo also rushed forward and tackled the assailant.

The stranger slashed Hugo’s arm deeply with the knife.

Blood gushed out, soaking his clothes.

“Oh my God!” A nearby servant screamed in terror while Jennie’s legs went weak. “Hugo!”

With a single glance from Jared, hidden guards from the Farrell family emerged and subdued the attacker within minutes.

Jared looked at Tina, who remained calm and unafraid, then approached the restrained man and asked in a low voice, “Who sent you?”

The stranger kept his mouth shut, refusing to speak.

Jared sneered coldly and nodded, “Don’t want to talk? I have a hundred ways to make you.”

With a slight gesture from Jared, his men understood immediately and began binding the man to take him away.

“I want answers,” Jared said with an icy glare that seemed to cut through the man’s skin. “Be careful not to kill him.”

Death would be too easy; sometimes living in agony was the greatest punishment.

Anyone who dared harm Tina should be prepared for this consequence; he wouldn’t let anyone with ill intentions toward her go unpunished.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes,” his men responded respectfully before taking the man away.

“Hugo! Hugo!” Jennie anxiously crouched beside Hugo, tears welling up in her eyes. “You’re bleeding so much!”

Despite losing a lot of blood and looking pale, Hugo said, “I’m fine. A little injury is nothing as long as Tina is safe.”

He turned to Tina with guilt in his eyes. “Tina, I’m sorry I couldn’t stand up for you when the Farrell family bullied you earlier. The Reed family is just too insignificant compared to them…”

Tina listened expressionlessly, feeling only annoyance inside.

Hugo wasn’t ambitious or particularly talented but was honest and straightforward. Whenever someone from the Reed family tried to bully her, he’d stand up for her without hesitation.

Back then, even when moving out of the Reed family meant losing his job, Hugo never complained. Such a person wouldn’t say something like ‘too insignificant.’

She glanced at Hugo’s wound; though it bled heavily and looked frightening, it wasn’t life-threatening.

Tina tore off a piece of her clothing and used it to bandage his wound temporarily to stop the bleeding.

“You should talk less since you’re injured.”

“Tina…” Hugo didn’t expect such coldness from her despite risking his life to protect her.

“Tina, your father really cares about you,” Jennie said tearfully. “We came to the capital for you. He wanted to start a perfume company so you’d have a fallback if the Farrell family ever mistreated you…”

Her words sounded noble as if everything they did was for Tina’s sake while she remained ungrateful.

Jared interrupted coldly, “Jennie thinks I can’t protect Tina?”

Jennie froze. “That’s not what we meant…”

She awkwardly brushed her hair aside. “After all, we’re Tina’s family too and only want what’s best for her.”

Hugo coughed deliberately several times in apparent weakness. “Jared… I’m powerless now… Please take good care of Tina… cough cough…”

Watching their act made Tina’s lips twitch slightly in disdain.

It was just a superficial wound that hadn’t damaged any bones or tendons yet Hugo acted like he had an incurable disease barely able to speak coherently.

Seeing through his charade instantly Jared ordered nearby servants: “Take Mr. Reed to hospital.”

Then he opened passenger door ready personally drive Tina home

“Tina…” Jennie reluctantly asked “Your father’s injured aren’t going hospital check on him?”

“I have things do,” replied indifferently before turning leave with Jared

Car drove out Farrell family gate

Tina rested chin hand gazing out window eyes slightly narrowed “Seems they’re getting impatient”

“Hmm” Jared’s deep-set eyes tightened “My people report GTO’s human experiments reaching critical stage urgently needing drugs”

“No wonder” Tina sneered

“First find Mr Reed Jennie” suggested Jared “Already investigating soon get news”

“Hmm” nodded Tina

She should soon have news too.
