Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Hawk knew his fate was sealed. Having betrayed the Mountain Veil Order and harmed so many brothers, he had no way out. Now, his only option was to reveal everything he knew about the GTO to save his own life.

“Young master, my latest assignment was to shift our focus to Clearwater, to find someone named Abigail and await further instructions. That’s all I’ve been told, young master. Can you spare my life?”

Tina squinted her eyes-so Abigail had fled to Clearwater.

Clearwater, the stronghold of the Brookes family.

Hawk continued to plead with Tina to spare his life, tears leaking from the corners of his eyes.

Tina ignored the old man’s insincere tears and pressed on, “How will you locate Abigail once you’re in Clearwater?”

“I don’t know the specifics, but our base there is at a virus research facility. They haven’t told me more.”

At this, Hawk seemed to find a way to salvage his situation. He hurriedly said, “Young master, I am willing to redeem myself. I will personally go to Clearwater, locate the virus research facility, and bring that woman Abigail to you. I swear I will complete the mission.”

Hawk spoke in haste, his voice interrupted by bouts of coughing.

After several coughs, blood spurted from his mouth, and his heart felt as if it were being pricked by a million needles, the pain suffocating him.

Tina stood up, dusted herself off, and spoke nonchalantly, “I poisoned Joshua with something that causes excruciating pain, but your poison is a hundred times stronger. You will spend every moment in agony.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Hawk collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.

No one understood better than him the severity of the young master’s poisons.

His pleas were hopeless.

Just as he thought this was the worst of his punishment, Tina slowly said, “Did you think this punishment was sufficient?”

Hawk shuddered.

Could there be an even harsher punishment awaiting him?

Tina, with hands in her pockets and looking down at him, said, “I’ve always said since the day you joined the Mountain Veil Order, death is not the best outcome. For a traitor-wishing for death is but a luxury.”

With that, Tina opened the hospital room door. Jayden walked in. “Young master!”

Tina picked up a document from the table, pressed Hawk’s thumb onto it for a fingerprint, then turned and walked out of the room. As she left, she said, “Throw him into the dog pen!”

Hawk, terrified, knelt and repeatedly kowtowed, begging for mercy. “Young master, I was wrong, I won’t dare again. Please, just kill me, don’t throw me into the dog pen.”

Even Jayden was shocked by Tina’s decision.

Tina had a private dog pen, infamous for housing ferocious dogs, specifically used to punish traitors. For many years, no one had been thrown into it.

Everyone knew of its existence and knew what kind of person Tina was; no one dared to cross her.

Tina had once hoped she would never need to use the dog pen. Yet, the day had come.

Considering what Hawk had done, it was clear why she was so furious.

At this thought, Jayden felt a twinge of sympathy for Hawk.

If it had been just the betrayal of the Mountain Veil Order, perhaps Tina would have simply poisoned him. But Hawk had not only betrayed them; he had joined GTO, the organization that had killed her mother-an organization Tina was determined to destroy at all costs.

GTO had done many things, and Tina had dealt with many of them, but none had suffered a fate worse than Hawk’s.

Because those weren’t the main culprits behind her mother’s death, because they weren’t the leaders of GTO, because she had never felt any affection for them, so as long as they didn’t provoke the young master, she might have ended their lives swiftly.

But Hawk, the young master trusted him.

And to every member of the Mountain Veil Order, the young master had an emotional connection.

Being betrayed by someone he trusted, he too would have wanted to throw that traitor to the dogs.

As Tina reached the doorway, she heard Hawk’s words, paused, and laughed-a laugh as toxic as a poisonous flower, “I am a law-abiding citizen; why would I commit murder? Don’t worry, you won’t die. Every day someone will tend to your wounds, day after day, year after year, unless I die, perhaps then you will be freed.”

Hawk’s last sliver of hope shattered with Tina’s words. He collapsed to the ground, mouth agape, unable to utter another word.

Tina exited the hospital room, finding Lysander waiting outside.

He had heard everything said inside the room, clear as day.

So, it turned out Hawk was the one who had betrayed Tina.

And he, too, could never forgive.

This biological father had been like no father at all, and now, he was truly gone.

Tina handed over a document to Lysander, “From today, you are the head of the Emerson family. Everything belonging to the Emerson family is now yours.”

It was Hawk’s will.

The will stated that upon Hawk’s death, everything would go to Lysander alone.

Lysander knew whether Hawk was truly dead no longer mattered.

What mattered was this will.

But whether he could fully control the Emerson family still depended on him.

“Tina, I will not disappoint you, I promise. There will never again be a traitor in the Emerson family!”

Lysander swore to Tina, each word filled with the unique resolve of youth.

Tina patted Lysander’s shoulder once more, still confident in him.

“Right, I’ll have Cole and Jayden assist you in secret.”

With a smile, Tina left.

Lysander opened his mouth to say something but then saw Jared approaching, taking Tina’s hand, and walking away together.

Lysander bit his lower lip unwillingly.

He gazed deeply at Tina’s retreating figure, an image already etched in his heart, impossible to erase.

Yet, he was powerless to express his feelings to Tina now.

He would have to wait until the day he became strong enough.

Tina and Jared exited the hospital where Courtney and Nathan were waiting in the car.

As Nathan handed Tina a document inside the car, “Ma’am, I’ve found the source of the bomb that attacked the Emerson family, please take a look.”

Tina noticed Nathan’s pale complexion and felt a certainty in her heart.

Upon opening the document, indeed, the bomb came from Christopher Parr.

The bomb that had destroyed the Emerson family stronghold was ‘Morning Glory’, the same used to rescue Jared from the mine.

After Jared’s incident, ‘Morning Glory’ had passed its test and was ready for official use, though not yet mass-produced.

After all, precise calculations were needed to maximize the bomb’s effectiveness.

Paula White had submitted some standard algorithms to the government, and the X Bureau headquarters had received these algorithms and stockpiled the bombs.

This time, they had all been deployed at the Mountain Veil Order’s stronghold.

No wonder the explosion was so extensive; aside from the stronghold, not even the leaves on the trees nearby had fallen.

Tina had known all along that Hawk didn’t have the means for such a large-scale operation; someone must have helped him secretly.

She just hadn’t expected Christopher Parr to be so blatantly exposed.
