Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

After undergoing a full body examination, Jared was discharged from the hospital. Even the doctors were astonished. How could someone who had been buried in a mine for two days emerge without a scratch? What kind of constitution did he have? Hayden and Nathan, who had been part of the rescue team outside, were completely exhausted and had to be admitted to the hospital themselves. Hayden repeatedly begged Tina to give him an injection, for she rejuvenated with just one. However, Tina refused. Her injections were expensive, and Hayden couldn’t afford them.

Hayden exclaimed, “Serena, are you putting beauty before your brothers?”

Tina replied, “Well, what can you do about it?”

Once they left the hospital, Tina and Jared began their journey back to the Farrell family. In the car, Jared tenderly changed the dressing on Tina’s fingertips. “Don’t be so foolish next time. I told you, as long as you’re out there, I can hold on.” Tina looked at her injured fingertips, which could easily be healed, yet she let them heal naturally so that her uncle could tend to them. How thoughtful of her. Tina curled her finger, watching Jared apply the ointment to her side profile, “Don’t ever make me worry like that again.”

Jared pulled Tina into his arms, “I won’t, ever again.”

At the Farrell family estate, just as Joshua had signed a document, Jared pushed open the front door. Sunlight streamed through the entrance, casting a square of bright light on the floor. Joshua approached, standing on the edge of the light, looking worriedly at Jared, “Jared, where have you been these past few days? Do you know how worried everyone has been? Did something happen?”

“Uncle Joshua, you don’t know where I went?” Jared replied with a smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Joshua, momentarily stunned, then laughed, “How would I know where you went? I’ve been frantic looking for you. A lot has happened at home, let me fill you in.”

Tina and Jared, standing at the doorway of the Farrell family home, took over the conversation, “We already know about the car accident and robbery in front of Sophia’s kindergarten.”

Joshua’s smile froze on his face, and he silently stepped back, half his body retreating into the shadow. “Since you both already know, then there’s no need for me to elaborate.”

As he spoke, footsteps could be heard behind him. Two figures appeared, holding Abigail and Orson hostage, with bombs strapped to them and guns pointed at their heads. Abigail’s face was streaked with tears, incredulous at the situation. She had never imagined facing such a circumstance. Orson was in disbelief; as Asher’s adopted child, even though he hadn’t been by his side over the years, Joshua was still his father in his heart. Why would he have a gun pointed at him?

Jared and Tina, apparently having anticipated this scenario, showed no surprise. “Jared, I must admit, you’re very clever. You’re already tough to deal with, and now you’ve chosen an even tougher fiancee. Uncle Joshua must be really troubled,” one of them remarked.

Joshua removed his glasses, pulling out a cloth from his pocket to meticulously clean them. Jared chuckled, “It’s Uncle Joshua who brought the flaw to my attention, otherwise, I wouldn’t have noticed.”

“Really? When did I do that? I thought I was being careful,” Joshua said with a slight curve of his lips, putting his glasses back on and smiling at Jared and Tina. “It was when you were sitting in the living room chatting with Miss Wang, squeezing her palm. It wasn’t flirting; you were indicating-‘you’re about to die.'”

Joshua, realizing the implication, remembered the playful moment in the living room with Abigail, when he whimsically pinched her palm a few times.

Although he appeared to be flirting on the surface, inside he was filled with disgust. If it weren’t for the need to conceal his identity, he wouldn’t bother to make a young girl happy. Unintentionally, he revealed a code, and to his surprise, Jared noticed it in an instant.

Joshua smirked, “I was careless this time; I’ll be more careful next time.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Jared raised his gun, aiming at Joshua, his uncle whom he had respected all his life, the ever-peaceful Uncle Joshua. “There won’t be a next time, Tiger!”

Joshua was Vivienne’s boss and the founder of the entire CK organization. It was he who, sensing Vivienne’s murderous intent, had drawn her in to be his substitute.

Over the years, everything Vivienne had done was for Joshua. On the surface, it seemed Vivienne wanted him dead, but the real person wanting to kill him was Joshua!

Joshua was not at all intimidated by Jared’s gun. “Captain Bo, I hold the lives of two people in my hands; are you sure you want to gamble with me?”

Tina suddenly laughed. She nodded towards the back with her chin, “Why don’t you take a look behind?”

Joshua paused, then turned around.

The two who had been holding hostages now showed their true faces-Jayden and Cole!

The bombs on Abigail and Orson were fake, and they were now under the protection of Jayden and Cole.

Joshua licked his lips, nodded with a smile, but a sinister flash crossed his eyes, “To think I’d be pecked by a chick.”

Then the smile on Joshua’s face faded as he pulled out his phone and played a video. There, Logan and others appeared.

“Jared, you think I only have these few hostages!” Jared looked calmly at Joshua, “That’s your biological father.”

“Heh, nicely put, ‘biological father?’ Have you ever seen a biological father who, disregarding his son’s life, insists on handing over the Farrell family to a wet-behind-the-ears grandson!” Joshua’s eyes were bloodshot, like a beast ready to erupt, his gaze filled with vicious hatred.

“Jared, when you were still a minor, my biological father, your grandfather, had already planned to hand over the Farrell family to you. He even told me to assist you well, guide you, so that you could take over the Farrell family swiftly when you came of age. But he just couldn’t see that I was the rightful heir!”

All talk of light breezes and botanists aside, what he wanted most was the inheritance of the Farrell family!

Jared, observing the limitless hatred in Joshua’s eyes, sighed silently, “Grandfather, now you know Uncle Joshua’s hatred.”

Joshua frowned, glancing at his phone. Logan was being bound; what was Jared talking about?

Suddenly, a deep, slightly hoarse voice rang out from outside, “I know.”

Logan, supported by Asher, slowly appeared at the door, his eyes tearful as he looked at his youngest son dearly loved.

“Joshua, if you wanted to inherit the Farrell family, why didn’t you tell me?”

The footage on Joshua’s phone changed-all fake.

He realized then that Jared had known his intentions all along, knew everything he had done.

Joshua did not answer Logan’s question but turned to Jared, “Knowing I wanted to kill you, why did you still go down into the mine?”

“That’s the only thing I didn’t expect.”

Jared and Tina had made all the preparations, only not expecting Joshua to be able to control the headquarters. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so many days.
