Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

At Whispering Pines, everyone was waiting for news from the Farrell family, completely unaware that Tina had offered a billion dollars to call off the engagement. No one questioned how a girl who grew up in the mountains could have so much money.

When Cole brought back the news that Jared had agreed to call off the engagement, the entire family was shocked. No one expected Jared to agree to the marriage cancellation. They had always protected Tina like a treasure, and now they had easily agreed.

The Reed family was completely dumbfounded. Juliet was the first to react, angrily cursing, “Scumbag!” She had always thought Jared was good because of how he treated Tina, and it made her believe in love. But now, he agreed to call off the engagement? All scumbags should die!

Lily was also stunned. Although she hoped for Jared and Tina’s engagement, she never thought it would happen so smoothly. Did this mean she could marry Jared? Oh my God! She was so happy she almost fainted.

Jasper was momentarily stunned by the news, then a thoughtful look crossed his eyes. Annabelle, however, smiled and said, “Good! This is great! Jared is as sensible as Tina!”

Tina glanced at her indifferently, “Congratulations on getting what you wanted.” With that, she turned and walked upstairs. Cole hurriedly followed her.

Once inside her room with the door closed, Cole quickly spoke up, “Serena…” But before he could finish, Tina raised her hand, and Cole immediately fell silent, his eyes questioning: What’s wrong?Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Tina picked up her phone and scanned the room. Suddenly, a red dot appeared on her phone screen. She sneered and quickly operated on her phone. Two minutes later, she put her phone away.

Cole had been with Tina for years and immediately understood what was happening. He frowned and said, “They installed a bug in your room?” Damn! Jasper pretended to be affectionate but secretly monitored his daughter!

“Yes,” Tina replied expressionlessly. It wasn’t surprising that Jasper bugged her room; it was expected. She didn’t remove the bug; Jasper would still receive information-just what she wanted him to hear.

Cole knew that since Tina could speak freely now, the bug posed no threat to them. He asked, “Serena, why did you agree to call off the engagement with Mr. Farrell? And why keep Lily here causing trouble?”

Tina’s eyes were cold and deep. “The more chaotic things get, the better.”

Cole fell silent. He knew most of what Serena was doing but not everything. He didn’t understand why she was investigating Jasper or why she placed Lily in the Reed family when she could have easily disposed of her.

“How’s the investigation on the infants going?” Tina asked.

“According to our findings, the missing infants were likely sent to Ashbury,” Cole said seriously. “Ashbury probably has a GTO lab; I suspect they’re conducting virus experiments there.”

Tina’s face turned icy. A GTO lab in Ashbury was within her expectations. Mr. Kim had been lurking there for years; it was impossible he didn’t have a lab. The GTO organization was always cautious with multiple bases; its members only knew each other during missions.

They needed to find this lab and rescue those infants.

After a moment of silence, Tina asked, “What has Fatty been up to lately?”

Cole looked embarrassed. “He’s been frequenting nightclubs! Every day he calls ten beauties-one feeding him wine, another feeding him fruit-four massaging his legs and shoulders while four others sing and dance for him.”

Tina rubbed her temples in exasperation. “Tell him to get out there and catch Wraith!”

Cole shuddered in fear. “I’ll notify him immediately!” He had many questions for Tina but didn’t dare ask now. “Serena, I’ll… leave now?”

“Get out!”

“Got it!” Cole hurried out.

Just as he reached Whispering Pines’ entrance, he saw Dexter leading his nine brothers with fierce determination.

He slapped his forehead in realization-this was bad!

Dexter strode over with a cold face and asked, “How is Serena?”

Cole hesitated for a moment before replying, “She’s fine-eating and drinking as usual.”

“That’s bad!” James exclaimed. “If Serena isn’t reacting to such a big event, she’s on the verge of exploding.”

Hayden clenched his teeth in anger. “Those bastards from the Reed family dared treat Serena like this? I’ll tear them apart!”

He had been away on a mission recently; who would’ve thought that in such a short time, the Reed family would bully Serena? They even wanted her to call off the engagement? Dream on!

Dexter usually managed his brothers but this time he was also furious. “If Serena is being bullied like this, it’s our fault for not supporting her!”

They didn’t like Jared with Serena because they believed she deserved better. But forcing Serena to call off the engagement was another matter entirely.

“Right!” Gavin agreed. “We’ve been inactive for too long; some people have forgotten who we are.”

Damian added, “Let’s show them that no one can bully Serena while Serenity Ridge protects her.”

Wesley chimed in, “My men are itching for action; let’s use Reed family as practice.”

“Practice?” Liam scoffed. “Let’s tie them all up and rob Reed family clean.”

“What nonsense?” Philip played with his knife nonchalantly. “I’ve got bombs ready; stay clear unless you want collateral damage.”

Hayden exclaimed in awe at his brothers’ audacity-blowing up Reed family hadn’t crossed his mind! Indeed experience trumped youth!

Listening to their conversation made Cole break into cold sweat again-he awkwardly coughed before saying nervously: “Um…Jared agreed on calling off their engagement!”

“What!” The nine shouted simultaneously making Cole’s ears ring painfully.

“Yes,” Cole confirmed seriously: “Serena offered one billion dollars; Jared took it-and called it off!”

Their faces darkened instantly-their expressions blacker than coal mines’ coals themselves: “Dare abandon our Serena? Seeking death!”

James roared furiously: “Forget Reed family-we’ll deal with Jared first!”

With that said-they turned around jumped into cars-and sped away!

Cole stood frozen muttering helplessly: “Hey! That wasn’t what I meant! I just stated facts-not asking you guys settle scores with Jared!”
