Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Sonia gathered the document from the table and glanced at her mother, who was no longer coherent. Aside from Grandma Lyon, she was the only person aware of the document’s importance. With it, not only could they dismiss the Hancock family’s offerings, but even the Farrell family was no challenge. All they needed was to get the family head’s ring, decode the inscription, and they would have a continuous flow of money. Leah and Megan, those fools, really thought they got a bargain? They believed the Hancock family had stooped to collaborate with the Lyon family just for this document!

Sonia secretly returned to her room to secure the document. Meanwhile, officials from the bank and the tax bureau stormed into the Lyon family’s residence, demanding, “Who is in charge of the Lyon Group?” Warren and Oliver stood up, “Both of us are, what’s the issue?” “You’re suspected of tax evasion and stealing government assets. Take them away!” This sudden calamity baffled everyone in the Lyon family. They had just seized control of all the Lyon family’s assets and had not yet had the chance to distribute the loot. How had it turned into stealing government property?

Warren and Oliver were handcuffed, still clueless about their actual offenses. Megan stopped the officials, “Is there some mistake? We just took over the Lyon Group.” “We are here for the legal representative of the Lyon Group, no mistake. Let go, or if you keep obstructing us, you’ll be taken away too!” the officials impatiently shoved Megan aside. Leah quickly dragged Sonia out from her room, “You got it wrong; she is the legal representative of the Lyon Group!”

Sonia had overheard everything from upstairs and knew the Lyon Group had definitely fallen into a trap. She brushed Leah off, “I don’t own any shares anymore; you took everything. What does this have to do with me?” At that moment, Max walked in, witnessing the chaos in the Lyon family, a mocking smile forming on his lips. Even the dim-witted Leah and Megan realized that today’s predicament was a setup by Max.

They were dying of regret. If they hadn’t been so greedy, perhaps Sonia and that old crone would be the ones facing charges. “Mr. Hancock, this is all a misunderstanding. It was all Sonia, she deceived Grace into signing that contract. It has nothing to do with us. Please, have them take Sonia away,” Megan and Leah pleaded desperately.

Max ignored them, pushing the two aside, “One of you tried to use my daughter to blackmail me, and the other wanted her daughter to get close to our family. Did you really think we wouldn’t notice your schemes? Instead of begging me, you might want to think about how to get your husbands out of prison.” Oliver and Warren were taken away, their fortunes plummeting overnight. The grandchildren were too preoccupied to care for anything else, rushing to gather information or protect their own little treasures from their father’s downfall.

What was once a chaotic Lyon family was now eerily quiet. Max sat in the main seat, looking at Sonia, who despite her bruises, still retained her beauty. The blue and purple marks on her face almost made her appear pitiable. “Mr. Hancock, I’m so relieved you’re okay. I’ve been worried, wanting to bring Grace home, but as you can see, I’m really not in a position to help,” Sonia choked up, moving closer to Max.

Max did not refuse. When Sonia was younger, she had been a renowned socialite in Clearwater, only to have her prospects delayed by a desire to marry Asher, and later, by a marriage to a man who died young, leading to her current predicament. But even as a woman no longer in her youth, she retained her allure. Max lifted Sonia’s chin, his fingertips gently massaging her face, “Sonia, I remember when I first moved to Clearwater, I asked you out, but you were too preoccupied to notice me.”

Upon hearing this, Sonia pressed herself against him immediately, “Mr. Hancock, at that time, I was being harassed by my ex-husband and had no idea you sought me out. Had I known, I would have never refused.”

Sonia was well aware that all of Lyon family’s businesses must now be in Max’s hands. If she wanted to rise again, she needed to first ingratiate herself with Max, then find Tina to get the family ring, and then she could go directly to Ashbury!

Max squinted his eyes, his grip suddenly tightening as he forcefully pushed Sonia away. In an instant, he grabbed her throat, his voice ferocious, “Sonia, the eight hundred billion dollars you transferred from the Hancock Group-do you think you should return it as well?”

Sonia, caught off guard by Max’s sudden hostility, desperately resisted, “I-I didn’t know…”

“Say that again!”

“I will, I will!” Sonia repeatedly slapped the back of Max’s hand, struggling for breath. Finally, Max loosened his grip, pulling at Sonia’s collar, “I’ve heard your family has a secret document that needs translating, right?”

Caught off guard again, Sonia could only feign ignorance, “Mr. Hancock, cough, indeed there is such a thing, but it’s not with me, it’s with our family head.”

“Family head?” Max frowned, not aware of the hidden families’ past, nor of the so-called family head.

Sonia nodded, “Yes, we have a family heirloom ring, where the location of that secret document is stored, but now that ring is with Tina. My mother has always wanted to steal it back but never succeeded.”

Tina again! How Tina was involved with the Lyon family’s master ring was troublesome. If only she had gone with the old boss when he died!

Internally cursing, Max scrutinized Sonia, “You, go find Tina and bring back both the ring and the contract, or else, you’ll pay back those eight hundred billion dollars by turning to prostitution! If that’s not enough, you’ll have to sell your organs, understand?”

Sonia shivered, nodding repeatedly. Max placed a bug on Sonia and silently left the Lyon family premises.

Sonia sat on the ground for a long time, only reminded of another presence when Grandma Lyon started making noises. Irritated, Sonia moved forward, lifting Grandma Lyon off the ground and into a wheelchair.

Grandma Lyon, her broken hand waving in the air, Sonia leaned down, squinting as she asked, “Mom, do you want me to bring Tina back to treat you, right?”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Grandma Lyon nodded vigorously, looking expectantly at her favorite daughter.

“Fine.” Sonia smirked, slowly saying: “You really think highly of yourself, still believing you’re the commanding chairman from before? Megan was right, you really are an old fool.”
