Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Orson swallowed and hurriedly followed Jared. “Bro, what’s going on? Isn’t our home security tight? How could someone leave this at our doorstep? Should I tell Grandpa…”

Jared suddenly stopped, causing Orson to crash into his shoulder blade. The impact made his nose sting and tears immediately flowed. Orson rubbed his nose, “Bro, what was that for?”

“Weren’t you supposed to be at the youth training squad today?” Jared asked calmly.

“Oh shit!” Orson had almost forgotten, but Jared’s reminder had him quickly changing clothes and grabbing his bag to run off.

Finally, quiet enveloped Jared as he sat back down on his bed, looking at the beautiful weather outside. It seemed a waste not to go out. “Tina, let’s go out on a date!”

Tina had just woken up. Seeing the message on her phone, she chuckled and replied, “Suspended and you still want to go out?”

“Yeah, it’s a rare break.”

Stretching lazily, Tina sat up and was about to agree when another message arrived. It was a top-secret code.

Her fingers swiftly moved across the screen, unlocking it to reveal-indeed, it was from the eagle! It was the first time she had received a message while undercover at GTO.

“The boss is back, ordering an attack on the Emerson family!”

Tina narrowed her eyes. GTO had targeted the Emerson family? Or did they think the Emersons were holding Jasmine? The Emerson family had always been supported by the Mountain Veil Order, so it wasn’t surprising that GTO had noticed them. If they couldn’t even find this much, they didn’t deserve to survive all these years. But that was all they could find.

“Uncle, can’t go on a date after all.”

Jared sighed, “Alright, then let’s venture out.”

Tina smiled, notifying Cole to contact a few brothers nearby, then to meet at Kongham University.

Since GTO intended to use the Emerson family to find Jasmine, their first target would naturally be Lysander, the future heir of the Emerson family and a vital point for Hawk. Kidnapping Lysander would be the most effective and quickest method.

At Kongham University, Courtney received Tina’s message and found Lysander. “Lysander, the tutor announced the team assignments today, let’s team up,” said Courtney, wearing black-rimmed glasses and her hair neatly tied in a ponytail, jeans and a white shirt giving her a bit of Tina’s vibe.

Lysander paused, taking a moment to recognize Courtney, the most inconspicuous girl in class, the one who had been in Tina’s car before. Before he could speak, a few male classmates started teasing, “This is the first time I’ve heard… Courtney talk to someone, Lysander, you’re lucky.”

The male student meant to imply she was mute but thought better of it and changed what he said.

Courtney glanced at them indifferently, offering no explanation.

Lysander glared at the teasing classmates, and because of Tina, he didn’t refuse.

He had always wanted to ask Courtney about her connection to Tina, but every time class ended, Courtney disappeared as if she didn’t exist. Over time, he’d almost forgotten about her.

“Okay, I’ll team up with you. Let’s talk at the book bar,” Lysander said, picking up his backpack and walking alongside Courtney.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The two ignored the significant looks from the others behind them.

The book bar at Kongham University was an open-style library, more suitable for discussing issues than a regular library.

Lysander ordered two lattes. “Is this okay?”

“Sure.” Courtney took out her books. “Just tell me your ideas, I’ll listen to you and help you complete this group task.”

Courtney’s main task was to guard Lysander, a duty assigned by Tina. Lysander, smart as always, sat beside Courtney pretending to read but whispered, “Did Tina send you to find me?” Under her dark-framed glasses, Courtney’s eyes occasionally swept towards the window, alert like a leopard ready to pounce.

Without denying or confirming, Courtney merely lowered her gaze. That was enough for Lysander. Excited, he asked, “What does Tina want from me?” Since their last meeting, he had only received terse and infrequent replies to his messages to Tina, with most disappearing into the void. He wanted to reach out but hesitated, not knowing how to approach Tina and fearing he might intrude on her life.

Courtney glanced down at the books on the table and said, “She wants you to finish your studies!” Lysander, unable to contain his curiosity about Tina’s instructions, started, “I know Tina’s identity, if there’s a task for me, I…” Courtney clenched her fist and snapped, “Shut up!” Realizing he had spoken too much, Lysander quickly silenced himself, though his emotions stirred due to the mention of Tina.

After calming down under Courtney’s slight anger, they discussed their group project for the day. Suddenly, they sensed a shadow over the window. Both looked up, and Courtney’s pen was almost launched like an arrow. To their shock, Orson’s face was pressed against the glass, staring intently at Lysander. Lysander cursed under his breath, “Are you fucking sick?” Unheard through the glass, Orson walked in and casually sat next to him, asking, “Lysander, are you dating someone?”

“What are you doing here?” Lysander snapped back, initially startled by the intrusion. Courtney relaxed her guard and settled back into calmness. Orson, propping his chin with his hand, mentioned, “Next week our junior teams are competing at your Kongham University. I came to check it out.”

Knowing about the event from Edward, Lysander ignored Orson, who then suggested out of boredom, “Hey, let’s go out to eat. I’ll treat you, it’s better than doing nothing.”

“No thanks,” Lysander declined. But Orson persisted, “Come on! I’m offering food and you’re still fussing!” He pulled Lysander up by force. Orson was mainly curious about Tina’s coaching, too embarrassed to ask directly.

Unable to resist Orson’s insistence, Lysander and Courtney, knowing who Orson was and that they couldn’t just knock him out, reluctantly followed. Secretly, Courtney messaged Tina about their dining location. “Any tails?” Tina asked. “No, all quiet,” replied Courtney. Tina and Jared, initially on their way to Kongham University, turned their car towards the restaurant upon Courtney’s message.

Meanwhile, behind Orson’s car, a motorcycle silently tailed them, unnoticed even by Courtney inside the vehicle. As Orson parked at the restaurant and was about to unbuckle, the front window shattered with a loud pop. “Fuck!” Orson cursed, outraged, “This is the new car my brother just got me, who the fuck smashed my car!” As he tried to get out, Courtney forcefully held him down, “Drive!”

“How the fuck do I drive now?” Orson was stunned, surprised by Courtney’s strength.
