Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

At this moment, Grace had somewhat lost her senses, the strong scent of the medicinal aromatherapy overwhelming her, triggering an endless tsunami with just a whiff. She kicked off the blanket wrapped around her, tugging at Max’s clothing in a haze, “It’s hot, so very hot.” Her stunning figure was unmistakably on display before everyone.

In the distance, Tina and Courtney stood together, observing from afar. “Tsk, she really has a great figure,” Tina remarked, then turned her gaze to Courtney’s more modest form, sighing, “Oh.” Courtney’s face flushed, “Miss Reed, please behave!”

“I didn’t say anything, why are you blushing?” Tina teased, playfully lifting Courtney’s chin. Courtney stepped back, quickly connecting with Jared on the headset, “Captain Wolf, where are you?”

Jared snipped the last yellow wire, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead, “Come over, we’ve found the new bomb.” Tina and Courtney’s expressions darkened, the earlier jesting vanishing instantly as they rushed through the crowd and burst into the guest room.

By then, Max had already knocked Grace unconscious and rewrapped her in the blanket. He had no idea what had happened! Stephanie was also perplexed, unsure of what was going on. How had Grace ended up thrown out, and what were Tina and that waiter-costumed person doing inside? Wasn’t Grace supposed to be drugged with Jared by now…?

Inside the guest room, Jared held the now ineffective new bomb in his hand. Tina approached, her expression somewhat relaxed. “We found the bomb that didn’t explode, saving us a lot of effort and money!” Developing new bombs and detectors had been like pouring money down the drain. Even with the support from the Brookes family, it wasn’t possible to spend nothing. But now, with this new bomb, there was no need to continue deconstructing its structure; inputting the program into the detector was sufficient.

“Uncle, you’re amazing!” Tina handed the new bomb to Courtney and then threw herself into Jared’s arms, planting several firm kisses on his face. “Oh, all that lovely pink money!” Jared, buoyed by borrowed light, finally cracked a smile. He ruffled Tina’s hair, chuckling, “This reward isn’t enough.”

Tina jumped onto Jared, her long legs crossing around his waist. She leaned in, her forehead against his, and smirked mischievously, “Is this reward enough?” Jared gripped Tina’s legs, his Adam’s apple bobbing. These past few days, the young woman had indeed been too bold. If this continued, he might not be able to hold back any longer.

Courtney wished she could find a crack to disappear into. Were these two really starting to flaunt their affection without caring about their surroundings? Couldn’t they consider her and the group of bewildered onlookers just outside the door?Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Courtney silently packed away the new bomb, cleared her throat, “Miss Reed, Mr. Farrell…” Jared, pretending not to hear, swallowed and said deeply, “Tina, it’s not the time yet.” Tina continued to gaze deeply into Jared’s eyes and asked, “I’m just asking you to carry me out like this, Uncle. How is it not the time yet?”

Jared grumbled, “… I’ve been teased again!”

Tina suppressed a smile, finding her Uncle Jared’s flush of embarrassment increasingly adorable.

Courtney interjected with a tired voice, “Enough already…”

“Miss Reed, Mr. Farrell, that’s enough,” Courtney spoke again, her voice hoarse as she reminded them once more.

It was then that Tina gracefully hopped off Jared and stood firmly by his side.

Only upon turning around did she realize just how many people were present.

Max was at the forefront, his expression far beyond mere shock-it was downright horror.

Tina, linking her arm through Jared’s, stared down Max with a fierce glint in her deep eyes, “Mr. Hancock, are you here to enjoy the show?”

Regaining his composure, Max frowned and stepped forward, surveying the chaos in the room, imagining the ordeal his daughter must have endured.

“Mr. Farrell, Miss Lyon mentioned you saved Grace, but what exactly happened between you two? Miss Lyon said my daughter hadn’t been undressed yet!”

Max questioned Jared, his tone devoid of any emotion but concern for his daughter.

He wasn’t concerned about Tina’s presence.

Jared, his gaze icy, faced an incensed Max, “If you want to know what happened, ask your daughter!”

“Jared, I respect you as a guest, but at the end of the day, I am your elder. My daughter was thrown out of the room naked and incoherent. How am I supposed to ask her?” Max argued, his voice tight with anger.

The spectators felt Jared had crossed a line, initially believing he had rescued Grace.

But Jared’s demeanor suggested otherwise; it seemed more like he was shaming her.

Tina yawned, her tone light, “Is Miss Hancock dead? Mr. Hancock, can’t you wait for her to wake up?”

Max’s face stiffened, his retort stifled by Tina’s carefree attitude.

Grace, supported by Stephanie, became the focus of everyone’s gaze. Stephanie hurriedly explained, “Connor drugged her, even if she wakes up, we won’t get anything out of her. Besides, she’s still unconscious. Jared, we should really get Grace to the hospital soon.”

Courtney chuckled, “Miss, her own father is right here, who are you talking to?”

Stephanie glared at Courtney fiercely, “Mr. Hancock still needs to attend to the guests. Since Grace ended up with my brother, the first person she’ll want to see when she wakes up is definitely him. Besides, you’re just a waitress, what right do you have to speak?”

Tina laughed along, “Aren’t you a waitress?”

Stumped, Stephanie faltered, puzzled by Tina’s implication.

Max intervened, “Mr. Farrell, no matter what, Grace was last with you. She’s fainted now, and you can’t leave. I must know what happened to her.”

“No need!” Jared signaled Courtney with a look.

Understanding his cue, Courtney flexed her wrist, revealing a silver needle.

She approached the unconscious Grace and swiftly placed a palm on her back.
