Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jared’s face darkened.

Tina picked up the note, her cold eyes narrowing slightly, “Where did you find this?”

Joshua sighed, “When I woke up this morning, it was right on my bedside table. Abigail and I saw it as soon as we opened our eyes.”

Marie was also terrified, “Our home security system is so robust, and there were no signs of anyone entering last night. How could someone have placed a knife at the bedside without being detected? It really scared me to death.”

After speaking, Marie hesitated and then looked at Abigail, “Abigail, I mean no offense, just asking-was your ex-boyfriend from Ashbury?”

Abigail wiped her tears, “Marie, Joshua is my first love. I’ve never had a boyfriend before, and not many boys have pursued me. Even if there are any, they’re all abroad now. I don’t even know who the person mentioned on the note is.”

Joshua held Abigail in his arms, constantly soothing her back, “I know it wasn’t you. Don’t cry.”

Marie felt somewhat guilty and handed over a tissue, comforting her together with Joshua.

Tina handed the note to Jared.

They knew that the “her” mentioned in the note referred to Jasmine.

It seems someone is becoming impatient.

Jasmine must be harboring many secrets.

During this time, Tina had kept Jasmine in a place no one would think of, yet she hadn’t rushed to question her.

After all, those who needed to know, already knew.

Except for the GTO’s boss!

But she wasn’t in a hurry; when it was time for someone to slip, they would inevitably do so.

“I’ll handle this,” Jared said as he put away the note and soothed Sophia in his arms.

The little one was also terrified, her small face turning somewhat pale.

Jared upgraded the Farrell family’s security system to the highest level, changed the locks in every room, and fortified the windows and any other possible entry points.

Nowadays, even a fly would find it difficult to enter.

After calming Abigail, Joshua left her with Marie and Tina, and went to the study with Logan and Jared.

The matter of the knife placed at the bedside was too significant to overlook.

Having just returned to the country, Joshua would not have offended anyone; it must be one of the Farrell family’s other enemies.

“Jared, is everything okay on your end?” Logan asked.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Jared replied, “Nothing.”

“Dad, could it be a competitor from the company?” Joshua inquired.

“No, the note mentioned returning someone. Our Farrell family hasn’t hidden anyone. Over the years, only old Muff has ever asked me for someone, and even he hasn’t succeeded,” Logan snorted coldly, his voice growing stern, “It seems someone has set their sights on our Farrell family. You all need to be extra careful, especially you.”

Logan tapped the ground in front of Jared’s toes with his cane.

Logan knew all too well that Jared was the only one who could stir up such trouble.

Although he never interfered with Jared’s activities, he knew they were fraught with danger, beyond what ordinary people could endure.

He had known something dangerous was afoot when someone stabbed a knife into the Farrell family’s front gate.

But he hadn’t expected that now, such a knife would end up in Joshua’s bedroom.

Jared nodded, “Don’t worry, Grandpa.”

Logan didn’t ask any further.

In the living room.

Abigail was still wiping her tears, truly frightened.

It was no wonder she was so scared.

Anyone who wakes up to find a knife in front of them would be terrified out of their wits.

Especially someone as timid as Abigail.

Tina placed her hand on Abigail’s shoulder, who instinctively shrank back, then realized and apologized, “I’m sorry, Tina, I’m just too nervous.”

“It’s okay, I’ll help you relax,” Tina said, not minding at all.

Abigail nodded, gathering her waterfall-like long hair to one side, allowing Tina to ease her shoulders and neck.

Tina used her internal energy, pressing on both sides of Abigail’s nape.

Indeed, Abigail relaxed considerably, the fear pent up in her heart gradually dissipating. “Tina, you’re really amazing.”

Tina smiled, her gaze lingering on Abigail’s cascade of black hair. “Your hair is quite nice.”

Hearing this, Abigail shyly lowered her head. “It’s all Joshua’s doing. I hardly ever manage it myself. After each wash, he lovingly applies conditioner, even teaching me how to blow-dry it properly. It works really well.”

Seeing the mood lighten, Marie chuckled, “No wonder you cherish your hair so much. Sophia says every time she sees you, you’re always brushing it, taking such good care of it, and it doesn’t even fall out.”

“It still does fall out, just not noticeably because I brush it so often,” Abigail replied, touching her hair before looking at Tina. “That knife… it’s not really a problem, right? Could it be that Joshua offended someone outside, without being aware, and now we are facing the repercussions?”

“It’s nothing, just a prank,” Tina reassured her with a smile, suddenly noticing a tattoo on Abigail’s arm.

Abigail, catching Tina’s gaze, openly displayed her arm. “Are you looking at this tattoo? I got it abroad during an experience, and Joshua chose the design for me. Although the tiger is a bit scary, it looks pretty good, so I went for it.”

Tina stared intensely for a moment.

The tattoo’s design was identical to the one on Lily’s body.

After calming Abigail, Jared and Tina left the Farrell family.

They drove to the Reed family’s home. Courtney and Hayden entered alert mode but managed to conceal their presence well.

Tina and Jared turned on the lights; Hugo and Jennie were still out, and Zackary was at school attending an event, not home.

The pair entered Tina’s bedroom and approached the bed.

Jared sighed, “Such a nice bed, what a pity.”

Tina bent down and pressed a seemingly inconspicuous spot at the foot of the bed.

To their surprise, the bed moved forward, slowly revealing a hidden entrance!

Tina turned on her flashlight, leading the way into the opening, saying, “If you like, you can have my bed.”

Jared replied, “I was not talking about the bed! It’s about this opportune moment!”

Tina responded, puzzled, “Oh? I don’t understand!”

Hayden interjected from outside, “Can you stop flirting? I’m still out here getting eaten by mosquitoes!”

Jared followed closely behind Tina into the dark staircase, eventually reaching level ground.

“Turn on the lights,” Tina commanded, and the previously dark room instantly brightened.

Jared shielded his eyes briefly before reopening them to clearly see their surroundings.

“Tina, you’ve opened my eyes once again.”

The secret base, though small, was fully equipped with a refrigerator, television, oven, microwave, and even smart home controls.

The only thing that shouldn’t be here was Jasmine, now bound to a chair with chains.

No one could have imagined that Jasmine was hidden under Tina’s bed!

Tina smiled, fetching a Coke from the fridge for Jared, then sat across from Jasmine. “Mr. White, we meet again.”

Jasmine slowly opened her eyes, her lips cracked, voice hoarse, and her face marked with a gruesome scar.

“Tina, just kill me, I won’t say anything.”
