Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina looked at the scene before her with disbelief and then quietly exited the room. Courtney was standing at the door, holding Stephanie who was pretending to faint. "Miss Reed, what should we do with her?" "Leave her be," Tina waved her hand dismissively. "When Lysander wakes up, give this to him." Courtney nodded, "Okay, I got it."

After speaking, Tina gave Stephanie a smirk and then left. Meanwhile, inside the bedroom, Orson struggled and shouted, "Won't anyone come to rescue me? Isn't there anyone?"

Courtney glanced indifferently and carried the "unconscious" Stephanie downstairs. Enduring the pain, Stephanie seethed with resentment. Couldn't this person properly carry her down the stairs instead of dragging her? Her legs were surely bruised all over. And why was Orson here, anyway?

Stephanie had planned to lock Tina and Lysander together. Later, she would bring Jared over, and even if nothing happened, the misunderstanding would be enough. Without Jared, Tina would misunderstand things with Lysander, and her mission would be accomplished. But it was Orson who showed up! He ruined everything! What a waste!

It wasn't until nightfall that Lysander finally opened his eyes on top of Orson. He awoke with a headache, not knowing what had happened, just feeling an unbearable thirst. "Brother, you're sitting on my little brother." Lysander was stunned, then looked down at the person beneath him. "Damn!" Lysander had never jumped so high; he backed up more than ten steps until he hit a cabinet, finally coming to his senses. "You... why are you here? Wait, where is this? What were you doing just now?"

Orson sat up on the bed, clutching a fire extinguisher like a precious item, "I should be asking you! You've been lying on top of me all day; I couldn't even push your head away. Look what you've done to me, you must be a cat!" Orson lifted his shirt to reveal red marks on his chest. Just then, Courtney, who had been waiting, came over to check on them and saw Orson lifting his shirt and Lysander blushing. She blinked, "Sorry to interrupt." She quickly went downstairs, her timing impeccable.

Orson hurried to follow her but was stopped by Lysander. "What exactly happened!" All he remembered was being locked in a room with Tina, who seemed to have been taking his pulse; after that, he remembered nothing.

As for Orson's involvement and why Courtney was there, he had no recollection. Orson sighed, "I wanted to ask you the same. What are you doing here? And what were you doing pulling on me? I rushed in to save my Tina from your harassment, and you ended up pulling me down and trying to strip me. If I hadn't knocked you out with the fire extinguisher, my virtue would have been compromised!"

Lysander frowned, "You came here with a fire extinguisher?" Orson licked his lips, a hint of guilt flickering in his eyes. Actually, he had received a text from Jared saying Courtney was coming to discuss a graduate course with Lysander today, and he had brought the fire extinguisher to settle scores. But he hadn't expected to find Lysander and Tina together in the bedroom, so he took matters into his own hands.

Courtney: "Why do I feel like Orson got tricked?"

Jared: "Really? I didn't notice."

"You worry about what I bring, but what about you? Why do you keep holding Tina's hand? What are you plotting?" Orson confronted him as soon as he arrived.

Lysander was at a loss for words; he couldn't remember what he had done at all.

Seeing that Lysander wasn't pursuing the matter of the fire extinguisher, Orson hooked his arm around his shoulder and walked out. "Alright, stop thinking about it, let's head back to school." Meanwhile, Tina nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the chip synthesis prompt on the screen.

Jared was wiping Tina's wrist with a disinfectant wipe, one after the other.

"That's enough." Tina withdrew her hand disdainfully. "The chip has already integrated with Stephanie, three more times and it will be complete."

Jared smiled slightly, "Hmm, Tina, you're really amazing."

Tina glanced sideways at him. "Not as amazing as you. How did you know something was off with Lysander today?"

Tina, skilled in medicine, could often tell at a glance whether someone was poisoned or ill.

Yet today, when she saw Lysander, he didn't seem unusual.

Also, at Stephanie's home, whether it was fruit tea or anything else, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

She hadn't noticed anything, so how could Jared be so sure?

Jared pinched Tina's palm, "I have a third eye."

Tina: "...Uncle, that's not funny."

Jared raised an eyebrow, "Actually, the medicine Stephanie bought privately was sold by Hayden."

Tina chuckled, "So, you knew from the start that Stephanie wanted to drug me and Lysander. You switched my medicine but not Lysander's? Aren't you afraid it could really cause harm?" "Of course not." Jared held Tina close. "Because you wouldn't let that happen."

Tina narrowed her eyes at Jared.

The medicine coming from his hands must be potent, and Lysander would certainly be in unbearable pain.

It was unexpected for Uncle to be so devious.

He not only sold them the medicine but also subtly punished Lysander and even manipulated Orson.

Truly, such a childish game!

This was a trap Jared had set specifically for Lysander.

Jared didn't deny it, childish as it was, improper as it might be.

He didn't care.

He treated anyone who liked Tina or harbored intentions towards her equally.

But getting close to his Tina wasn't going to be easy.

Lysander couldn't be hit or scolded, as he was Tina's friend, disciple, and clan leader-the one Tina placed great hopes on.

Punishing him could only be subtle.

Tina found it both speechless and amusing.

A man in his thirties, yet insisting on bickering like a child.

But this was good, as it served as a lesson for Lysander.

To fall into such a simple trap and nearly lose his life.

If he didn't reflect on this incident, he wouldn't be able to secure his position as head of the Emerson family.

"Tina, Stephanie is now only secretly in contact with Grace, who seems to be her superior. There's no need to keep an eye on Stephanie anymore, just leave it to Courtney. The focus should be on Grace," Jared said, resting his head on Tina's shoulder and stealing a kiss on her exquisite profile.

Tina smiled back, "Yes, Grace is the key. Lately, she's been meddling in the affairs of the X Bureau quite a bit, Hayden has scolded her many times."
