Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 427: Cousin, Be Careful on the Road



Jared glanced at Clara, his slender fingers adjusting a slightly wrinkled cuff, his thin lips curled in a half-smile that wasn’t quite a smile. Seeing him silent, Clara grew anxious, “You could at least say something. Your grandfather is in this state, and you’re still so calm? He really spoiled you for nothing.”

Jared’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke unhurriedly, “Tina’s bracelet is fine.”

Clara retorted angrily, “Just because you say it’s fine, it’s fine? Miss Ward, please check this for us. Isn’t this fake? I’ve always felt that girl could never get her hands on something from Spectre!”

Lily looked at Jared, who showed no reaction, and gently said, “Mr. Farrell, I’d feel better taking a look myself, don’t you think?”

“Miss Ward, don’t mind him. Go check it, and if it’s fake, throw it out immediately!” Alexander was somewhat anxious, seeing a rare opportunity. If they could use this chance to bring down Jared, it would be their turn to rise!

The bracelet was quickly brought over. Lily held it in her hands, looked at it a few times, then sniffed it, her expression growing increasingly grim.

Clara urgently asked, “What’s wrong? Miss Ward, please speak.”

Lily sighed deeply, “There’s not much wrong with this bracelet itself, but…”

“Out with it, you’re killing me here,” Clara urged.

Vivienne pulled Clara back, “Mom, don’t rush her. Let Lily speak. Lily, what’s the matter?”

Lips pursed, Lily said, “At first glance, it seems like Spectre’s work, but upon closer inspection, it’s all wrong. Moreover, the medicinal herbs within are just remnants, not only useless but harmful. They could worsen old ailments and various diseases in the elderly.”

Clara exclaimed, “I knew it! That little wretch Tina is up to no good! To harm the old man with such defective goods is outrageous, it’s practically murder!”

“Exactly, she must pay with her life, that little wretch. I’m going to take her to the police station right now so she’ll never see the light of day!” Alexander shouted indignantly, ready to storm off, his fierce demeanor suggesting Tina had wronged him personally.

Vivienne held him back, “Dad, maybe Tina was deceived too. Don’t be hasty.”

Alexander wouldn’t listen and insisted on confronting Tina.

Suddenly!

Jared grabbed him, lifting him off his feet, and in the next second, Alexander was thrown down from the second floor.

“Ah!! Alexander,” Clara screamed, rushing down to find Alexander. After checking him and finding no serious injuries, she glared furiously at Jared, “Your grandfather is still between life and death, and here you are, trying to kill us to usurp power, is that it?”

Jared’s icy gaze swept over them, sending a chill through Clara and Alexander.

After a moment, he took the bracelet from Lily’s hands. “The bracelet is problematic?” he asked, his eyes filled with a chilling depth.

Lily hadn’t expected Jared to throw Alexander down just because of that derogatory remark. Moreover, it was Tina’s fault, how could he irrationally favor someone? Especially someone who harmed his own grandfather.

Reluctantly, Lily said, “Mr. Farrell, the bracelet caused the illness. I think you must bring Tina in to clarify things.”

Jared narrowed his eyes slightly, a meaningful smile curling at the edges of his thin lips, “Then-let’s make it clear.”

As he finished speaking, the door to the Farrell family’s house suddenly opened. Tina walked in, carrying a box of strawberry cake, ignoring Alexander’s wails on the floor, and headed straight upstairs.

“Uncle, today I’ll treat you to strawberry cake.” Tina seemed in high spirits, her eyes twinkling with joy.

She handed the cake over to Jared, her gaze sweeping subtly towards Vivienne.

Seeing the surprise on Vivienne’s face, her smile deepened.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Vivienne was stunned.

Why was she here?

Wasn’t she…

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Vivienne hurried downstairs. “Jared, I’ll leave the house matters to you; I need to take my dad to the hospital.”

Leaning against the railing, Tina said to Vivienne, “Cousin, be careful on the road. I heard there was an accident at the intersection on Fifth Avenue-a van collided with a Bentley; it was quite a scene.”

Vivienne paused, “What did you say?”

“I said-be careful.” Tina’s gaze was deep as she looked at Vivienne, her smile bright and striking.

Vivienne, looking into Tina’s enchanting eyes, felt an inexplicable panic.

She averted her gaze, unable to meet Tina’s eyes, “I-I have to go.”

With that, she ignored Alexander’s pain and quickly dragged him out the door.

Once outside, Vivienne handed Alexander over to Clara and sped off in her car.

On the road, she dialed a number.

But after several attempts, no one answered the phone.

She slammed her hand on the steering wheel, cursing, “Answer the phone!”

The car phone repeatedly returned a busy signal, and Vivienne cursed again, “Idiot!”

She activated the GPS and the navigation system.

The screen showed a red dot near Fifth Avenue.

She followed the navigation’s directions.

If there really was an accident, it wouldn’t just be a matter of compensation-it could be fatal!

Vivienne thought for a moment and dialed another number.

“There’s been an incident, the goods were discovered on Fifth Avenue!”

A mechanical voice responded sharply, “Didn’t I tell you to find time to move them? How could this happen?”

“It’s too complicated to explain in a few words, hurry over, I can’t reach the driver!” Vivienne said urgently.

“Understood.”

The call ended, and Vivienne gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes filled with urgency.

Please, let there be no trouble!

Farrell family.

Lily stood in front of Logan’s room, blocking the way. “Tina, I will never allow you to approach Mr. Farrell; there’s something wrong with your bracelet.”

Tina seemed to hear a joke, “You? Not letting me approach Mr. Farrell?”

Lily fell silent, recognizing the mockery in Tina’s eyes.

She was being told she wasn’t qualified.

But…

She clenched the door frame tightly, “It’s not okay, Jared, Tina is trouble, she really shouldn’t get near grandfather, in case she…”

Lily suddenly found herself unable to speak.

Her eyes widened in fear as she stared at Tina.

Tina took the bracelet from Jared’s hand, her delicate fingertips brushing the symbols on it, and whispered into Lily’s ear, “You know about Spectre, haven’t you heard that her gifts are not given lightly? Once given, they must be personally delivered!”
