Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The experiment Tina was about to conduct involved determining whether chips could merge with ions within the human body, eventually forming a permanent chip that would move with the flow of blood.

Tina had been worried about not having a suitable subject for her experiment and had even considered secretly extracting Vivienne from a guarded prison. However, Stephanie came to her voluntarily, which was like being offered a pillow as soon as she wanted to sleep.

Initially, to get Tina to agree to treat her, Stephanie had agreed to any condition, even if it meant being part of an experiment, fearless of the consequences. Given this, Tina was not about to hold back.

Even if she didn't conduct this experiment on Stephanie, the people behind Stephanie would not let her go either. It made sense for Tina to take advantage of the situation herself.

"Don't let your facial wounds touch water today, and I can come back to see you in a week," Tina said as she picked up her bag to leave. Stephanie hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a moment, I just want to know what kind of experiment you did on me. Can you tell me?"

Tina paused, "It's a study involving particle entanglement and GPS phenomenon analysis among other biotechnological systems. Do you understand?"

Stephanie blinked; she obviously didn't understand. She had barely gotten through school, squeaking into Kongham University. The concept of analyzing particle entanglement phenomena sounded like a complete fantasy to her. "Forget it, I don't understand," Stephanie exhaled in relief, thinking that as long as she relayed Tina's words to Grace, it would be enough. This would spare her Grace's incessant queries about what experiment Tina was planning to perform. Tina smiled slightly, picked up her bag, and left.

Downstairs.

Lysander saw Tina approaching and hurriedly greeted her. "Tina, are you done?"

Tina nodded coldly, her steps faltering, "Lysander, I hope you know what you should and shouldn't do." Lysander looked startled, "Tina, I can explain."

"No need," Tina waved her hand dismissively, "Handle your own affairs."

With that, Tina turned and left. She didn't have time to listen to Lysander's explanations; she needed to rush back to work on the next ion chip. Lysander's romantic entanglements were his own business.

Tina didn't mind as long as Stephanie didn't endanger herself. Her anger was more about Lysander's poor judgment. Just a few days with Stephanie and he was already distracted, showing none of the awareness expected of the head of the Emerson family.

Tina knew that Jayden's training should have brought Lysander further than this. Clearly, he had been too distracted!

Watching Tina's departing figure, Lysander didn't know what to do, seeing her this angry for the first time. He slumped onto a sofa, his face full of regret.

Stephanie walked down from upstairs and saw Lysander despondently sitting on the sofa, a smile playing on her lips. He was such a naïve young man.

"Lysander, are you alright?" Stephanie approached, holding a bottle of cola - Tina's favorite drink.

Lysander's eyes darkened as he slapped Stephanie's hand away, his voice harsh: "Why did you call me 'Andy'?"

Stephanie feigned confusion, a glint of realization in her eyes, "Lysander, is it really Tina you like?"

A guilty look flashed in Lysander's eyes as he stammered, unable to respond.

Stephanie smiled understandingly, "It's perfectly normal for you to like her; she's so exceptional. In my eyes, she's like a fairy descended to earth. It wouldn't be odd if all the men in the world liked her."

Like a caring elder sister, Stephanie pulled Lysander back down to sit on the couch, "Liking someone isn't something you should feel embarrassed about."

"But Tina, she..." Lysander hesitated.

"Actually, not considering Jared, I think you are the one who truly matches her best."

Lysander's eyes sparkled as he looked at Stephanie. "Are you serious?"

"Of course, you and Tina are of similar age, and according to Orson, you've known each other for many years. You met her first, and you were the first to like her. Jared only took advantage of the fact that you were in different places." Stephanie's words struck a chord with Lysander. He had always felt that he met and liked Tina first, and it seemed unjust that Jared got there before him. Jared was ten years older than Tina-literally old enough to be her uncle! Lysander had always felt this injustice, but no one around him seemed to understand. Over time, even he began to see himself as an unwelcome third wheel.

Cole, Jayden, Paula: "No, you're not even close to being a third wheel."

Tina's nine brothers: "We barely tolerate Jared, you? Just stay where you cool your heels."

Stephanie patted his shoulder, "Lysander, I actually think Tina has feelings for you too. She just hasn't seen her own heart clearly, and with Jared around, she's lost her true self. Just now, because I called you 'Andy,' she threw quite a tantrum upstairs." "Are you telling the truth?" Lysander was incredulous.

"Of course, why would I lie to you? Honestly, I don't think Jared is right for Tina either. If it's possible, lovers ending up together is the real deal."

"You mean, you're willing to help me?"

Stephanie nodded, "Yes, I am."

Internally, Stephanie smirked. She had taken the bait. It seemed stirring trouble between Lysander and Tina was going to be easier than she thought. Meanwhile, Tina was at the YQ lab.

Jared stood by the chip machine, watching a model chip slowly take shape. When Tina arrived and "injected the soul" into the chip, they could take it out a week later, transform it, and implant it into Stephanie's body. "How's it going?" Tina approached, now clad in a white lab coat, her hair pinned up at the back.

Turning around, Jared caught sight of her efficient manner.

Something struck deep inside him, like an electric current shooting straight to his brain.

Unaware of Jared's intense gaze, Tina walked straight to the machine. "The synthesis is not bad, I'll give you a bonus."

After a long wait, receiving no response from Jared, Tina paused and turned around. Jared was staring at her, utterly infatuated.

That gaze, as if it had landed directly on her eyeballs, was intense.

Tina smiled, walked over, and wrapped her arms around Jared's neck. Her body clung tightly to his like a green snake, "Uncle, what are you looking at?"
