Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina's gaze hardened. Angela must have recognized Natalie! Otherwise, she would never have uttered those words. No wonder Angela had managed to elude the Mountain Veil Order's pursuit time and again-it seemed Natalie had been aiding her from behind the scenes! With this realization, a chill spread through Tina, her already cold cheeks coated with an extra layer of frost. Angela could recognize her and yet she chose not to reveal herself to Tina? Very well! Jared sensed the resentment emanating from Tina and gently rubbed her shoulders. Tina took a deep breath, "What else did she say?"

"She didn't say much, and from her appearance, she didn't seem aware that the Five Poisons were nearby. In fact, it was the Five Poisons who discovered her first."

Listening to Eagle Flies' words, Tina could roughly infer why Angela was here today. She must have followed someone here. And the only person not within Tina's sight today was Rachel.

Jayden had also sent news that the people from the Mountain Veil Order had lost track of Angela near where Rachel had been. It appeared Rachel truly knew the whereabouts of the Five Poisons! Since Angela was here with Rachel, it indicated that Natalie had suspicions about Rachel as well. But what would she do?

Meanwhile, Angela returned home to find Natalie staring blankly at a pot of overcooked instant noodles. "Angela, you're finally back. I've missed you," Natalie said, her eyes glued to Angela.

Angela's lips twitched, "Alina, maybe you shouldn't cook next time."

Was this why she wanted to cook? Within a week, three pots had been ruined and five bowls broken, not to mention a whole box of instant noodles destroyed!

Natalie laughed awkwardly, "Did you find out anything today?"

"I almost got caught by your daughter's people, but it was her undercover agent in the GTO."

Natalie nodded, "A young girl, right? It seems the Five Poisons have discovered your whereabouts. Be careful next time you follow Rachel."

With just a simple sentence, Natalie had guessed the events of Angela's night. Angela efficiently prepared a bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Natalie, "Alina, what are you planning to do about Rachel?" Natalie blew on the steaming noodles and slowly said, "It will be soon."

Soon, the matter with Rachel would come to an end.

Angela said no more, knowing Natalie had everything under control.

On the way home, Jared received a call from Paula. "Jared, my dad wants to meet you tomorrow. Are you available?"

Jared smiled, "Yes, I'll see him tomorrow."

After hanging up, Tina knowingly looked at Jared, "It seems Mr. Farrell's plan is already halfway there."

"Thanks to your brilliant idea, Mrs. Farrell," Jared said as he slowly parked the car in front of the Reed family home, his gaze lingering on Tina with a curious sparkle. Tina blinked, and in the next second, a hand lifted her cheek. Jared's handsome face gradually loomed closer until it was nearly touching hers, "Tina, happy birthday." Tina smiled faintly, "You know, today isn't my birthday."

"I mean," Jared's fingertips grazed Tina's lips, his voice tender and laden with emotion, "when your real birthday comes, could you become the real Mrs. Farrell?"

Tina couldn't recall how she had managed to 'escape' from Jared's fingers and flee back to her own bed. All she knew was that her heart seemed about to leap from her chest, throbbing violently as if amidst flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.

That sort of thing...

Tina didn't resist it, especially since it involved Jared.

But whenever she thought about it in detail, her heart would race uncontrollably.

She couldn't imagine that kind of fervor, the intense, explosive passion of entwined bodies, like lightning striking earth.

Despite her occasional playful teasing of Jared, when faced with reality, she became shy.

After all, she had never experienced such things!

Despite her thorough knowledge of the male anatomy, capable of pinpointing every part with her eyes closed.

She had seen her fair share of romantic films, all pretty much the same.

Yet, she couldn't picture Jared in that context.

He seemed, indeed, quite imposing!

"Ah!"

Tina buried her face in her pillow, letting out a shy sound for the first time like a teenage girl fantasizing about the body of someone she liked. Zackary, who was in the bathroom, jumped at the sound, knocking on the door in confusion, "Tina, are you having a nightmare?"

Tina snapped back to reality, "No, just go back to sleep!"

Yawning, Zackary replied, "I was already sleeping. You should sleep too, good night."

"Good night!" Tina patted her cheeks.

They were hot, and she knew without a mirror that they were probably frighteningly red.

Tina recited a calming chant in her mind ten times before she could relax.

Luckily, no one was there; otherwise, as the young leader of the Mountain Veil Order, she would have lost all her dignity!

The next morning, Tina woke up groggily and smelled something delicious from the living room.

Upon opening her door, she saw Jared already sitting at the dining table, having breakfast with Hugo's family.

"Tina, you're up? Wash your hands and come eat," Jennie said, serving Tina some food from the pot.

Tina nodded, hardly daring to meet Jared's eyes.

After all, she had dreamt of him all night!

Jared, noticing Tina's evasive eyes, touched his face.

Was he really that unwelcome now?

He must have really scared the poor girl last night!

After breakfast, Jared and Tina drove off to meet with Paula's father, Simons, the chairman of White Tech.

In the face of business, they managed to behave normally.

"This man's information is scarce, and he never attends any aristocratic parties. Only lower-level leaders from the White family appear publicly. Securing a real collaboration with the White family is extremely difficult; ordinary terms won't persuade him."

Tina reviewed Simons' information, similar to her previous investigation of the Brookes family, filled mostly with data about the White Group.

Tina understood, after all, the White family produced weapons for the government and seldom needed partnerships.

This time, Jared proposed collaborating with the White family because of an issue with Hayden that had exposed a flaw, and because Linden intended to suppress the hidden families, which would involve the White Group. Clearly, the White family was not receiving the protection it imagined and had to seek alternatives.

Jared nodded, "If not for the issue with Hayden, we probably wouldn't even have the chance to meet Simons."
