Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina had reviewed the contract from start to finish, each clause alone enough to shock the entire business world. According to the contract, the Brookes family would unconditionally provide all components and funding needed for the development of a new type of bomb, while Tina only needed to provide the location and handle security, insurance, and other cost-free items. However, the final clause stated that the patent for the new bomb could not bear Tina’s name. This requirement suited Tina just fine. The bomb was originally Paula White’s idea, which Tina had acquired by a fortuitous coincidence, and she just happened to have the means to complete the project. Tina promptly signed her name on the contract. This marked her second official collaboration with the government.

“Grandpa Brookes, I agree to all the terms here,” Tina handed the contract to Ian. Ian smiled, “Girl, don’t you want to ask anything more?” “I just need to trust Grandpa Brookes, that’s enough for me.” Tina had such confidence; she absolutely trusted the people she believed in. Ian felt a wave of relief and nodded continuously, “Good, this old man definitely won’t let you suffer, rest assured.”

Tina glanced at Jared, who also took out a contract. “Ian, Mr. Brookes, please take a look at this contract,” Jared handed over the contract with both hands. This was also a gift from Jared and Tina to the Brookes family. Ian’s expression paused, and Jack was somewhat incredulous, “Tina, are you sure?” It wasn’t that they were overly surprised; they just hadn’t expected Tina to be willing to bring this matter forward. The contract was also a win-win agreement, and similarly, the Brookes family wouldn’t need to invest much effort and time to maintain it. The content concerned the YQ Laboratory!

The YQ Laboratory was an extremely private matter for Tina, involving research directly related to Natalie. Jack had previously uncovered some information, though not in great detail. He only knew that Natalie had connections with Bureau X. But for him and the Brookes family, it was a different department, a different direction. Unexpectedly, Tina was even willing to reveal this.

“I’m sure,” Tina wanted the Brookes family to also participate and provide the greatest guarantee for the YQ Laboratory. Natalie was the previous captain of Bureau X’s special squad but had failed a mission due to certain reasons, leading to the shutdown of the YQ Laboratory. Tina didn’t believe it had happened without the involvement of Bureau X’s internal leadership. Now that the YQ Laboratory was restarting, it would eventually reach the ears of Bureau X’s internal leadership.

Jared was now facing threats from both front and back, and his direct superior had been trying to suppress him. If the higher-ups strongly demanded that the YQ Laboratory be brought back under Bureau X’s control, Jared wouldn’t last long. Before Jared could get a promotion, they needed external support to suppress all the uncertainties. The Brookes family was the best choice.

Although Tina and Jared were unclear about the full extent of the Brookes family’s influence, it was enough to protect the YQ Laboratory. Ian nodded repeatedly, Tina’s willingness to sign this contract also proved her sufficient trust in him and the Brookes family. He was deeply moved. He nodded at Jack, who also did not hesitate to sign his name. “Tina, here’s to a pleasant collaboration,” Jack handed the contract back to Tina.

Seeing that all official matters had been concluded, Scarlett finally found her chance to speak, “Tina, it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Don’t you want to give me a gift?” Just as Tina was about to bring out the gift she had brought, Scarlett smiled, “I’ve already chosen the gift, go change into the couple outfits, and let me take some pictures!” As the biggest fan of Jared and Tina, she needed to maintain their image. This was firsthand material, and she had to post it quickly.

The fan group could hardly wait any longer.

Tina was startled, “What couple outfits?”

“Just this set, you two hurry and change!” Scarlett stuffed the outfits into Tina’s hands and pushed the two into the adjoining private room.

Tina and Jared changed into the outfits somewhat bewilderedly and when they came back out, James was already ready with the fill light, waiting for the two models to enter the scene.

Scarlett’s camera was eager, “Stand properly, I won’t shoot your faces, don’t worry.”

Tina and Jared couldn’t help but laugh and cry; how had they never noticed Scarlett had this hobby before?

Thus, under Scarlett’s repeated directions, they took numerous couple photos, their faces either not shown or blurred if visible.

James, holding the fill light, watched as Tina repeatedly got close to Jared right in front of him.

His teeth trembled with rage!

What was this all about?

How was he supposed to explain this to his brothers?

To say that he not only watched Jared kiss Tina right in front of him but also had to repeatedly watch them hug and embrace, while he had to hold the fill light?

Hayden: Heh, what’s this? They even kissed in front of me, more than once.

Brothers: You might as well die as an apology!

After the meal, Tina had finished taking photos of the past years.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

After saying goodbye to Ian and others, James was responsible for taking Tina and Jared back.

On the way, James was still seething.

Tina didn’t pay him any mind but instead asked, “The Campbell family, are they also a hidden family?”

Hearing the words “hidden family,” James returned to normal.

“No, we’re just the ordinary richest family in Clearwater, just like that lovestruck old rascal next to you.”

Tina glanced at Jared.

That wasn’t a lovestruck face, but rather one irresistibly handsome.

The irresistibly handsome, lovestruck old rascal raised his phone, aiming it at the rearview mirror.

It showed the photos Scarlett had just taken.

They looked almost like wedding pictures.

“Mr. Heart, do they look good? I’ve had Mrs. Brookes send them to you, make sure to save them,” Jared said nonchalantly.

James ground his teeth hard, vowing to one day devour Jared whole!

Tina patted the car seat, prompting James to return to the matter at hand, “Serena, why do you ask this?”

“Isn’t the hidden family not well-related to various other families? How come you could have a marriage alliance?”

Hayden had previously mentioned that major families would not have any contact with the hidden family, even using this as a reason to reject Paula White.

So, she had always been curious as to how the Campbell family could have a marriage alliance with the Brookes family.

James nonchalantly chuckled, “My little aunt and uncle have been childhood sweethearts, according to my dad, they’ve been so close since they were little, they’re practically inseparable. Besides, the Brookes family is already prominent, so what if they were a hidden family? As long as my uncle treats my aunt well, that’s all that matters.”

Tina nodded, it seemed that in the presence of the supremely powerful Campbell family, the hidden family wouldn’t cause anyone to feel intimidated.

The truly fearful and apprehensive are those families that are less powerful yet overly proud.

But why would the Cohen family dislike Paula White, being from a hidden family?

It seemed the path for Paula White wasn’t fraught with many obstacles.

The biggest obstacle was probably Hayden’s own reluctance.

“Tina, take a nap, I’ll wake you when we arrive,” Jared draped his jacket over Tina, pulling her close to let her rest securely against him.

Tina was indeed a bit tired, taking photos was more exhausting than she had anticipated.

James, who had just managed to suppress his anger, felt it flare up again because of Jared’s gesture, almost spitting blood in fury.

But Serena closed her eyes to rest, and he couldn’t scream; he had to drive steadily to ensure Serena’s comfort.

James: Jared, just you wait!

Jared: Holding my own wife, truly comfortable.
