Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Grace screamed, jolting awake and gasping for air as she knelt on the ground.

“Mr. Farrell, Mr. Farrell…”

Max hurriedly helped his daughter up. “Grace, are you alright?”

Grace looked around at the group of people, clueless about what had happened. Her last memory was of lying in bed, wrapped in a blanket by Jared.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Quick to react, she burst into tears on Max’s shoulder. “Dad, Mr. Farrell and I, we have already… already…”

Her words left everyone with a clear understanding of the situation.

A completely naked, beautiful woman appeared before them-what man could resist?

Poor Connor, others plant the trees, yet he enjoys the shade!

A flash of anger crossed Max’s eyes as he pointed at Jared and shouted, “Jared, what do you have to say for yourself? You beast!”

Stephanie quickly interjected, “Mr. Hancock, it was the drug. My brother and Grace didn’t do it on purpose; it was all because of the drug’s influence. Think about Grace’s condition just now!”

Grace also held Max’s hand. “Dad, I vaguely remember what happened. Mr. Farrell rescued me from Connor’s hands. We were trying to leave, but… then I smelled this strange fragrance. Even though my mind was clear, our bodies were out of control…”

“This isn’t Mr. Farrell’s fault; it’s all Connor’s doing, really.”

By now, Grace was a sobbing mess, clutching the blanket around her. “Dad, I can’t face anyone anymore.”

Stephanie also cried as she looked at Jared. “Jared, it was Grace’s first time. You can’t just ignore her.”

Max was at a loss about whom to blame, only able to hold his daughter tenderly and look at Jared. “Mr. Farrell, now that it has come to this, if you don’t take responsibility, Grace really won’t have a way out.”

“Yeah, Jared, we can’t just walk away from this.”

This drama was so intense that even Ember Saffron and Juliet would have to applaud the mastery.

It was a performance worthy of the best actors.

Tina smirked, “Miss Hancock, have you heard of Max Entertainment? Named after your dad, that talent agency. If you’re interested in signing, I can have someone contact you.”

A promising talent in acting-cry on cue, engage deeply in the role, how could anyone not be intrigued?

A moneymaker isn’t a derogatory term if they bring in cash!

Jared: “Tina, how badly do you need money?”

Tina: “Extremely, utterly, and especially badly!”

Hayden: “You should ask me how much Serena loves money!”

Tina: “Extremely, utterly, and especially loves money!”

Grace wiped her tears. “Miss Reed, what do you mean by that?”

“Are you young and hard of hearing? Or should I inject you again?” Tina curled her lips, eyeing her with interest.

Grace’s eyes flashed with anger. “Tina! I know you’re upset because of what happened between Mr. Farrell and me, but I would never tarnish my reputation with lies. I remember what I remember, there’s no need to frame Mr. Farrell and ruin your relationship!”

Tina nodded, then turned to Stephanie. “Miss Lyon, are you sure everything Miss Hancock said is true?”

Stephanie appeared uneasy but had no choice but to stick to her story. “Yes, I believe Grace, and indeed, only my brother was present just now. Now that Grace is awake, she surely wouldn’t lie.”

Tina nodded again. “Is that so! Well, I have something interesting here, would you like to see?”

With that, Tina extended her hand, and Courtney handed her a tablet computer.

Courtney, always by Tina’s side, carried various tools for her; this tablet was a model not seen on the market, capable of folding down to the size of a phone.

It was so sudden that no one saw exactly where Courtney had pulled the tablet from!

Tina clicked a few times on the screen, and soon, a video began to play clearly. “…then you’ll take Connor away, and I will have already placed the hallucinogens in the room. Once things go well with Mr. Farrell, we can pin it on Connor. You just need to bring my dad and the others over, okay?”

“Okay, I’ll help you. If you can get rid of that useless Tina and successfully marry my brother, it’ll all be worth it, Grace. You must be careful!” The video completely captured the conspiracy between Grace and Stephanie, even thoughtfully filtering out the background noise of the wind on the deck to make every word they said more audible.

Grace and Stephanie never expected that their conversation would be recorded, and so clearly at that! Max could have confronted Jared with authority, but now, he felt too ashamed even to breathe. His own daughter, drugging someone to offer herself up? To speak of it would be to disgrace the Hancock family for generations!

In the crowd, Megan and Warren breathed a sigh of relief. From the moment Connor was implicated, they had been there, always hiding, fearing Max might cause trouble. Unexpectedly, the tables had turned, and now they could even bite back at Grace. After all, no one had seen whether Connor had actually drugged Grace; they could easily accuse Grace and Stephanie of tarnishing Connor’s reputation.

As for Jared and Tina, it seemed they wouldn’t get their revenge today; that would have to wait for another time. For now, they needed to protect Connor. Megan rolled up her sleeves and pushed through the crowd. “Oh, you two little wretches, daring to frame my son! I always wondered how he could just pass out. It turns out you were afraid of being exposed and knocked my son out. I’ll kill you!” she exclaimed as she grabbed Grace and Stephanie by the hair.

The two women were still dazed, and the sudden pain jolted them awake-it was already too late. Megan, strong as she was, knocked them both to the ground. Especially Grace, who was already in a compromising position, was now pinned down, naked, and slapped repeatedly. Max wanted to intervene but found himself unable to move. He looked towards Tina in horror. He knew this was all a trap set by Tina!

Tina also approached him, whispering so only the two of them could hear, “I told you, if Grace stops bothering me, I won’t go after her.” Resigned, Max closed his eyes. Like his boss, once Tina made a move, she left no chance for survival. He could only silently pray that Grace would be okay, otherwise…

Grace and Stephanie were still being pinned down by Megan, their faces swollen and red. Megan knew her limits; Stephanie was Oliver’s daughter, and she couldn’t harm her too seriously. But Grace was different. If she didn’t ruin Grace’s reputation tonight, she wouldn’t be able to control the Hancock family in the future. She had to ensure that no one would want to marry Grace after tonight.

“Miss, it was all the Hancock family’s fault today, could you perhaps consider my boss’s position…” Max tried to plead. But before he could finish, Tina interrupted him. “If not for my mother’s sake, do you think your daughter would still be alive?” Tina’s eyes were calm, but beneath that calm was a tumult of deadly undercurrents, threatening to engulf anyone who dared approach. No longer interested in watching Grace get beaten, Tina beckoned Max with a finger, “Come with me, I have something more important to ask you.”
