Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

It was midnight.

Above the YQ Laboratory, a villa was shrouded in darkness.

The living room, engulfed in pitch blackness, was pierced by intermittent sobs.

Pale moonlight streamed through the windows, faintly revealing a figure writhing on the floor.

A soft "ding!"

resonated.

Light flooded the entire villa, revealing Tina and Jared in the previously pitch-dark space.

A detached coldness in their eyes settled on Kylie Lambert, who was tightly bound in the center of the living room.

The woman, pitiable with tears during the day, had adjusted to the light and was now glaring furiously at them both.

Jared gestured slightly, and Nathan stepped forward, ripping the tape from Kylie Lambert's mouth.

In an instant.

Kylie Lambert's face contorted in pain as she collapsed to the floor, groaning continuously.

Courtney walked over leisurely, squatting down to push her upright, and clamped a hand on her cheek, "Miss Lambert, I advise you not to resist. Answer whatever we ask, or don't blame us for being unpleasant." Courtney's hand, holding a sleeve arrow, lightly brushed over Kylie Lambert's wrist.

Her cold gaze paused slightly, imperceptibly shaking her head at Tina.

Tina's fingertip twitched, and Courtney stood up, retreating to stand behind Tina again, her sharp gaze never leaving Kylie Lambert.

She furrowed her brow, her eyes lowered, hiding her emotions.

"What exactly are you trying to do, Tina?!"

By now, there was no need for Kylie Lambert to keep up her façade.

Struggling vehemently, her eyes filled with anger, she shot a fierce look at Tina, "Release me now! Or you'll regret it!"

After scolding Tina, she turned to Jared with tearful eyes: "Mr. Farrell, are you really going to let your fiancée continue this nonsense? She has already ruined my career, why won't you let me go?" Tina, resting her head on one hand, thought to herself that Kylie Lambert's ability to switch faces couldn't compare to Amber Reed or Lily Ward.

She should have had them all learn a bit from each other.

That way, their initial performances wouldn't have been so clumsy.

She nudged Jared with her elbow, like watching a drama unfold, "Uncle, she's complaining to you."

A look of resignation flashed in Jared's eyes, "Even if you wanted to dismantle the palace, I'd gladly indulge you."

"Do you think I'm Hayden? Dismantling palaces? Uncle, I seriously doubt how you see me."

Jared interlocked his fingers with hers, "By heaven and earth, you are absolutely perfect in my heart, the person I love most in this world."

Having been together for so long and heard countless declarations, Tina still blushed and her heart raced every time Jared looked at her with deep affection and repeated those cheesy words. Kylie Lambert didn't understand; she was clearly questioning them.

How did the atmosphere change so drastically in the blink of an eye?

Nathan and Courtney, standing behind Jared and Tina, tried to make themselves less conspicuous, their heads tilted at a 45-degree angle, staring numbly at the intricate ceiling patterns. How to put it?

Although accustomed to their bosses' constant public displays of affection, it still felt uncomfortable.

"Hey, Tina, are you even listening to me? Let me go now!"

Kylie Lambert couldn't stand the bizarre atmosphere any longer.

Her sharp voice pierced through the romantic bubble between Jared and Tina.

As if suddenly remembering there was still someone tied up here, Tina stood up, "Miss Lambert, we truly don't want to trouble you; we just want to know who exactly is behind you."

Kylie Lambert panicked for a moment, "What master? Tina, I'm telling you, everything you posted online is fake. I can sue you for defamation. Why is your mind filled with such filth..." Tina leaned forward, pinching Kylie Lambert's chin, "I don't have time to waste with you."

Her delicate, slender fingers slowly moved to Kylie Lambert's neck, her beautiful eyes emanating danger, "I'm just curious about how exactly you altered your meridians to appear as an ordinary person. Clearly, you shouldn't have been caught by my men."

Kylie Lambert's pupils shrank, "What are you talking about?! I don't know what you're saying."

Tina clicked her tongue, "No tears until seeing the coffin. Courtney, turn on the projector!"

"Yes, madam," Courtney responded in a deep voice.

Kylie Lambert furrowed her brows, "What are you trying to do?"

Tina twisted her face toward the projection screen. Courtney tapped a few keys on the computer, connecting the projector to a surveillance camera.

The screen showed a small, dark room.

Under the ghastly white light, Grace Hancock, with her hair in disarray, was awkwardly sitting on a chair.

Her exposed skin was crisscrossed with red and purple scars. Her eyes were dull and lifeless, staring blankly at the space in front of her.

Her mouth moved silently, muttering words.

Then, the crisp and pleasant sound of a piano played.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The sealed door of the small room opened from the outside, and Wraith, holding a syringe, approached Grace Hancock, who now resembled a limp rag doll in the chair.

She opened her mouth, her hoarse voice screaming at Wraith.

Kylie Lambert then saw that where a tongue should be, there was only a black mass of flesh, emitting a foul stench even through the screen!

Tina lowered her gaze, satisfied with her pale face, "This is someone who made a mistake. Miss Lambert, you wouldn't end up like her, would you?"

"What do you mean?! Why are you doing this to me?!"

Kylie Lambert's voice began to tremble.

Could that still be called human?!

That face, that body, was there any part of it left unharmed?!

Tina shrugged her shoulders, not directly answering Kylie Lambert's question.

She waved her hand, and Courtney turned off the screen, "Miss Lambert, that ability to change meridians isn't yours, is it? Otherwise, why haven't you recovered after such a long time? If you don't tell us who sent you to infiltrate Juliet's circle, to get close to my father, and frame my mother, the person in the video just now will be your fate!"

"No... no..."

Kylie Lambert hadn't expected Tina to know everything.

Changing the direction of meridians to turn a cultivator into an ordinary person was unheard of, even in hidden families.

How could she have guessed?!

Swallowing hard, the dreadful state of Grace Hancock still seemed to be before her eyes.

Kylie Lambert's lips turned white, her fingertips trembling, "I'll tell you. It was the Langdon family, the people from Langdon family are collaborating with GTO. They sent me to your side, originally to assist GTO. But unexpectedly, you obliterated that organization. So, they made me create problems for you, to steal the results you brought back from GTO."

She finished speaking all at once, and the vast living room was silent except for her heavy breathing.
