Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

In the evening, Sonia entered Grandma Lyon’s room.

“Mom, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?” Sonia sat beside Grandma Lyon, adopting the demeanor of a devoted daughter.

Grandma Lyon truly cherished this daughter, having protected her dearly since childhood.

Now, in her current state, Sonia was the only person she truly trusted.

“Sonia, given my condition, it’s hard to say what they are thinking. We, mother and daughter, must not let them control us. Your brothers are useless, only thinking about money.”

Sonia nestled close to Grandma Lyon, chuckling softly, “Mom, don’t worry. Our Lyon family will never be controlled by them. No one else will take what’s ours.”

Grandma Lyon nodded, “I knew I could count on you, Sonia. Rest assured, I’ve remembered your concerns all these years and have already prepared everything for you. This time Jared’s visit is for you to meet the Farrell family. You understand, right?”

Hearing this, Sonia felt relieved.

As long as she could see Asher again, she was willing to do anything.

“Mmm, I know you always look out for me the best,” Sonia said, leaning on Grandma Lyon’s shoulder and glancing at her amputated hand, she averted her gaze with distaste.

Grandma Lyon’s hand, already skeletal, looked somewhat terrifying with the raw stump exposed.

“Mom, what do you plan to do about the Spectre matter?” Sonia asked.

Grandma Lyon scoffed, “They are just afraid of losing money, right? I have plenty of it, though it might be difficult to access eight hundred billion all at once, but it’s not impossible.”

Sonia looked at Grandma Lyon skeptically.

She has plenty of money?

What a joke.

As the CFO of Lyon Group, didn’t she know exactly how much money the Lyon family had?

Eight hundred billion was out of the question, even managing eight billion required careful consideration.

Where did her mother get the confidence to claim she was very wealthy?

Seeing Sonia’s doubt, Grandma Lyon chuckled, “Have you forgotten? We still have an ace up our sleeve.”

“An ace?” Sonia frowned.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Grandma Lyon picked up the remote and turned on the news channel, which was broadcasting the arrest of Max.

The news did not reveal the specific reason, only that Max had been arrested and taken into custody, and it showed Grace surrounded by reporters.

Sonia instantly understood.

Grandma Lyon intended to take over the Hancock family and turn it into her own vault.

Indeed, with the Hancock family’s resources, eight hundred billion was well within reach.

“Mom, how did you know Max would turn to us?” Sonia asked.

Grandma Lyon appeared confident, “The Hancock family is now a hot potato, who would dare deal with them? Plus, with Grace’s tarnished reputation, a faded beauty, who would want her?”

“But if you just give her a call, and she comes to us on her own, transferring all of Hancock family’s business to us, then naturally, the money will follow.”

This time, Grandma Lyon was seizing an opportunity from a crisis.

With Max in trouble, and as the only daughter of the Hancock family, Grace would certainly seek help everywhere to save her father.

But no one is a fool; they all knew the gravity of Max’s offenses, and they wouldn’t help.

If only the Lyon family stepped in, whether Grace liked it or not, she would agree.

Thus, the Hancock family’s business would also fall into their hands, and the mysterious business network of the Lyon family would unfold.

“Alright, I’ll make the call now,” Sonia laughed.

If they could snatch all of Hancock family’s business, it would be worth far more than eight hundred billion.

This matter must absolutely be kept from Warren and Oliver; otherwise, they would undoubtedly want a piece of the action. Sonia had to control everything herself, which would give her the leverage to negotiate a partnership with the Farrell family. It would also bring her closer to Asher. Becoming Mrs. Asher Farrell was only a matter of time. “Marie, your good days are almost over.” At this moment, Grace had not yet recovered from the shock of Max being arrested when she started receiving countless debt collection calls. Maintaining such a large company and numerous projects meant that bank loans were inevitable. Now that he was arrested, the banks would surely start calling in the debts immediately.

Terrified, Grace tossed all the phones aside, at a loss for what to do next. The brothers who once surrounded her had vanished without a trace. Now, she was completely alone.

Just then, the doorbell of the Hancock family rang, and the servant, upon opening the door, found Sonia there. Grace eyed Sonia warily, “What are you doing here?” Sonia smiled, “Grace, I came to see how you are. I’ve been close with your father, and I’ve watched you grow up. With such a crisis in your family, of course, I can’t just stand by.”

This was the most comforting thing Grace had heard, and tears immediately welled up. “Aunt Sonia,” Grace ran over and embraced Sonia, beginning to cry. She and Stephanie were close friends and both affectionately called Sonia ‘Aunt.’

Sonia smiled faintly, her comfort seeming perfunctory as she sat down with Grace. “Grace, with things as they are, I can only think of one way to help you, but it requires your agreement.”

“Aunt Sonia, just say it. I’ll listen to you,” Grace, overwhelmed by the business affairs, now felt relieved to have someone willing to help. Sonia, smiling, pulled out a contract, “It’s not too difficult. You are now the sole heir to the Hancock Group. After your father’s incident, you are the chairperson. Just sign the Hancock family’s contract over to Lyon Group, and it will solve some of the bank’s debt issues. Once the company is stabilized, we can think of ways to get your father out.”

Grace was confused, “Aunt Hancock, I don’t understand much about the company…”

“I know you don’t understand, just sign. Don’t worry, the Hancock Group will still be the Hancock Group, just under Lyon Group as a subsidiary. It will definitely not disadvantage you, this is to alleviate the bank’s debts, right?” Sonia persuaded gently, all her words seemingly in Grace’s best interest. She even mentioned how marrying Jared would make them family, how the Hancock and Lyon families would eventually unite, and the future support from the Farrell family.

After her words, Grace felt as though she had already married Jared. She immediately agreed and signed her name on the contract. Meanwhile, the account of the Flame Ice organization received a staggering eight hundred billion dollars. Tina, looking at the zeros after the eight, excitedly slapped Jared on the shoulder, “Uncle, you’re treating to Wagyu hotpot tonight!” Jared closed his tablet, glancing at Tina’s phone. “Eight hundred billion, and just for a Wagyu hotpot?”

“Wives being too thrifty, what to do?” Tina guarded her phone cautiously, full of wariness, “Yes, just one meal, are you eating or not!”

“Eating!” Jared replied without hesitation. It was rare for Tina to treat; not to accept would be a waste of her kindness. Meanwhile, Sonia had everything arranged, waiting for everyone. Oliver pondered and asked, “Sonia, are you sure Spectre agreed to treat mom for free?” Sonia responded, “I gave him my shares; of course, he agreed to the free treatment.”
