Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Christopher Parr meticulously inspected all the documents Jared had brought. They clearly outlined the evidence of Tina being framed, including Vivienne’s own confession of the false accusation, and Lily’s testimony on how she stole Tina’s fingerprints and attempted to murder someone in the operating room. In conclusion, Tina was innocent.

Indifferently, Christopher Parr handed the documents back to Jared, his somewhat wrinkled red lips forming a slight curve. “Well done.”

Jared gazed at Christopher Parr, his guide in Bureau X, second only to Natalie. A smirk played on his lips. “I think so too-I did well!”

Christopher Parr looked up to meet Jared’s eyes, and both men stared at each other, neither speaking. The atmosphere turned somewhat solemn.

Beside them, Hayden, Nathan, and Jason, who stood off to the side, all watched Christopher Parr intently. Throughout this period, Christopher Parr had targeted Jared, thwarted their actions, and sidelined everyone in Bureau X.

He had kept Jason, who was not convinced of Tina’s innocence, close but had not disclosed the true purpose of this operation. Those who made it into Bureau X were no fools. Christopher Parr’s actions surely had a motive. Now, they could only speculate why he targeted Tina and Jared-whether it was of his own volition or someone else’s bidding.

After a long look at Jared, Christopher Parr suddenly smiled. “Since the order has come down from above, Tina is to be released without charges.”

He paused, then added, “However, whether she’ll be this lucky next time is uncertain. It’s best if Tina stays clear of CK; otherwise, I won’t ignore the law out of respect for you.”

Jared chuckled. “There won’t be a next time. If Tina really breaks the law, Chief Parr won’t need to intervene-I’ll arrest her myself.”

How he would do that was his decision alone.

Christopher Parr narrowed his eyes, his voice colder, “I hope so.”

Previously, Jared had always called him boss, but now, even that title was gone; he simply called him Chief Parr. It seemed the young wolf had grown up and was out of control.

Jared put his goggles back on, said nothing more, and waved to his brothers gathered around, “Pack up, Chief Parr is treating us to dinner tonight.”

Now, Jared was a deputy director at the same level as Christopher Parr and the direct leader of the special squad. Naturally, everyone responded promptly, except for a few who still looked to Christopher Parr for approval.

Christopher Parr was silent for a few seconds, then composed himself. “Alright, dinner is on me tonight.”

At this announcement, cheers erupted from the crowd.

Everyone understood that going forward, the Ashbury X Bureau was under new management.

“Captain, I apologize for earlier,” Jason said, though he didn’t regard Tina as a criminal unless she actually broke the law. He had been shocked when the target of their mission turned out to be Tina.

As the captain of the third squad of Bureau X’s special team, he couldn’t back down under those circumstances. It didn’t matter if the person was Tina or even his own mother; he would have proceeded with the arrest.

Jared glanced at him, his tone indifferent. “You were just doing your job. Why explain?”

Jason pursed his lips, unsure what to say.

Tina looked Jason up and down. Compared to the last time she saw him, his overall capabilities had improved significantly, likely because his old injuries had healed. If Jason and Courtney were to fight now, it was hard to say who would win.

After a few seconds of silence, Jason led the third squad to pack up. Before leaving, he glanced at Courtney, “Return to the squad tomorrow.”

Courtney saluted, “Yes, Captain.”

Jason looked deeply into her eyes.

Only now she decided to call him captain, after all she had said before?

After the special squad disbanded, Tina and Jared also returned to the vehicle and drove back to the city.

In the car.

Courtney still couldn’t understand, how had Jared become the Deputy Director of the Bureau?

As she thought this, she asked aloud.

Hayden was driving, and since it was just them, secrets couldn’t be hidden.

“Mr. Farrell directly reported the capture of Jasmine to the headquarters, skipping several levels, which normally isn’t protocol. Surprisingly, someone assisted, saying although our captain is young, his qualifications are sufficient, and over the years, his numerous achievements and top-notch education meant that not promoting him would demoralize the grassroots. So, he got promoted,” Hayden explained.

Lost in Hayden’s informal explanation, Courtney finally grasped a key point, “Who helped from the inside?”

Jared and Tina exchanged glances, smiled at each other, but did not respond.

Hayden paused, “Yeah, who did help? That’s some influence!”

He was so happy about Jared’s promotion that he hadn’t considered who the influential backer was.

Prompted by Courtney, he too started wondering-who was it?

Given their current positions, climbing higher was incredibly challenging.

Like himself, unless he made significant achievements, he could only hope for a promotion if Jared was transferred, giving him a chance to move up to squad leader, with Nathan and Jason as his competitors.

It was extremely difficult.

And Jared was still under disciplinary action, yet here he was, returning as the Deputy Director!

Hayden kept asking, but Jared kept silent, frustrating Hayden to the point of nearly being unable to continue driving.

Tired of the questioning, Tina slapped the driver’s seat, “Paula White!”

Paula White had been involved.

But more so, it was the Brookes family.

This time, Jared could report Jasmine’s capture directly to the headquarters because the Brookes family had assisted him, bypassing Christopher Parr and two others, further confirming that the traitor was among those three.

Christopher Parr, Blue, and Roamer.

Even Jared had never met Blue and Roamer in person.

Only those at the deputy director level or higher could.

But soon, Jared would have the opportunity to meet the other two and identify the traitor among them.

Upon hearing it was Paula White, Hayden immediately shut his mouth; he knew Paula White was influential but not majorly so.

However, he dared not ask further.

Since Paula last called him and then never responded to his messages, not even allowing him into her house, he was frustrated.

Just hearing Paula White’s name made him behave.

The car finally quieted down.

Jared was supposed to take Tina home but unexpectedly received a call from Logan halfway.

“Jared, come back, there’s trouble at home.”

Immediately, Jared turned around and headed back to the Farrell family.

Upon arrival, Tina and Jared got out, while Hayden and Courtney stayed outside.

As they entered, they heard Abigail crying.

“What happened?” Jared asked.

Sophia ran into Jared’s arms, “Brother, I’m so scared, please check on Uncle Joshua.”

Joshua was sitting on the couch, comforting Abigail, with no visible injuries.

However, on the table, there was a dagger identical to the one previously stuck at the Farrell family’s front door.

Attached to it was a note-‘Give her back to me!’
