Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jared Farrell had one hand in his pocket, his cold lips curling slightly as he spoke in an indifferent tone.

“If I don’t come out, what will you do?”

James Heart gritted his teeth. “If you don’t get out here, I’ll break your bones.”

“Really? Then wait until you can actually break my bones.” Jared paused and added, “By the way, thanks for your help. Now I have a legitimate reason to move into my father-in-law’s house, where I can cultivate feelings with Tina and please my in-laws every day.”

“Jared Farrell!” Wesley Soames roared, about to curse.

Jared Farrell hung up the phone, but not before leaving a final message. “Tell Hayden Cohen that the cost of renovating the house will be entirely on him.”

Beside him, Hayden Cohen, who already felt his life was bleak, lowered his head even more dejectedly.

Great, millions gone just like that, and no place to claim it back!

Why did he have to suffer like this?

“What now?” Gavin Forrest glared at Hayden Cohen, unwilling to let it go.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Feeling Gavin’s almost murderous gaze, Hayden Cohen looked up to see the other seven brothers staring at him intently. His heart trembled as he stammered, “Why are you asking me?”

“Ha!” Philip Callahan sneered. “Because you and that dog man are in cahoots, sneaking around, colluding…”

“Stop!” Hayden Cohen abruptly interrupted Philip Callahan. What nonsense was he spouting?

“You know him best, you know his weaknesses,” Dexter Brookes said gravely. “Tell us his weaknesses, and we might overlook your betrayal.”

How did this turn into a matter of betrayal?

Hayden Cohen felt a wave of despair and wanted to scream to the heavens, “I don’t care anymore!”

But under the oppressive stares of his eight brothers, he had no choice but to think hard and finally said weakly, “Mr. Farrell… no, the dog man’s weakness seems to be Serena?”

All eight brothers’ faces darkened. “What do you mean? Are you suggesting we target Serena?”

“You can’t be serious,” Tristan Montague sneered. “Are you trying to mislead us into offending Serena so that the dog man can be with her without obstacles?”

With these words, the other seven brothers raised their fists towards Hayden Cohen’s face.

“No, no, absolutely not!” Hayden Cohen raised his hands and feet in protest. “But Jared Farrell really has no weaknesses!”

If Jared Farrell had an easily exploitable weakness, he wouldn’t be their leader.

As for Tina, she was indeed Jared Farrell’s weakness.

Whenever he encountered her, he would revolve around her.

But Tina was his Serena, his one and only Serena.

Even before knowing she was Serena, he thought Tina was incredibly strong. Now that he knew, he couldn’t consider Tina a weakness; she was stronger than Jared Farrell!

So he could understand why his eight brothers disliked Jared Farrell. After all, he knew better than anyone how exceptional Serena was.

Such a brilliant person being picked up by Jared Farrell was hard to accept.

Ugh! Dog man!

“So what do we do now?” Liam Archer coldly grabbed Hayden Cohen and asked. “If we don’t separate Serena and that dog man, I guarantee your life will be miserable!”

“Then why don’t we all move into the Reed family?” Hayden Cohen suggested weakly.

“Use your brain!” Wesley Soames smacked Hayden Cohen on the head. “Serena’s house is too small for all of us!”

James Heart was silent for a moment before smiling. “I have an idea.”

Pinkwater Alley.

After finishing his late-night snack, Hugo was about to sleep when he received a call from James Heart. James Heart’s tone was very friendly on the phone. “Mr. Reed, sorry to bother you so late, but I have something to discuss with you.”

“Go ahead,” Hugo replied, feeling flattered.

“Our company’s real estate development branch recently has a batch of newly built villas ready for sale,” James Heart explained seriously. “This time, our advertising department came up with a new promotional method: inviting real people to experience our villas. After some discussion, we selected your family.”

“Ah?” Hugo was genuinely surprised. “But I don’t handle real estate?”

“We can’t choose employees from the real estate branch; it wouldn’t be authentic,” James Heart continued persuasively. “I found out you have a wife and two children-a perfect family for this experience.”

“So we hope you can move with your family to Jade Gardens for a month.”

“Don’t worry; for helping the company this much, you’ll be rewarded with bonuses and the option to buy the villa at an internal price if you want it later. What do you think?”

Ensford’s housing prices were already exorbitant, and Jade Gardens was in the heart of the city where land was precious. The price per square foot there was higher than their current place in Pinkwater Alley.

But according to James Heart’s internal price offer, buying the entire villa would cost less than a third of their current apartment’s price.

With his annual salary of a million dollars in Mendara, affording such a villa would be no problem at all.

Not to mention that given its prime location, the villa would surely appreciate in value over time; buying it and reselling it could yield a significant profit.

Tina and Jared Farrell were already engaged and might get married soon. As her father-in-law’s family, they couldn’t keep living in a rented house forever.

Moreover, Wen Qian had a boyfriend now; they needed to give their daughters some face too.

James Heart’s last sentence really moved him. He even wondered if his boss was sleep-talking because it sounded too good to be true.

So he eagerly agreed to James Heart’s proposal.

James Heart was very pleased with Hugo’s cooperation but emphasized one last point: “Remember, your daughter must also move in with you.”

“Of course, don’t worry,” Hugo assured him repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, Hugo sat on the bed in a daze. Jennie, who had already lain down beside him, looked at him curiously. “What did your boss say? Why are you daydreaming?”

Hugo stared blankly at Jennie for a moment before kissing her hard on the cheek. “We’re moving into a big villa!”

He had spent half his life under Elizabeth’s thumb, which had nearly crushed all his ambition. He thought he was destined to live an ordinary life and couldn’t provide a good life for his family.

Unexpectedly, luck smiled upon him! Such a windfall actually happened to him!

“Oh stop it,” Jennie said shyly, dodging his kisses. “You’re talking nonsense before even falling asleep!”

They were renting their current apartment; how could they afford a big villa?

“I’m not talking nonsense!” Hugo hugged her tightly and kissed her again and again.

Outside the room, Tina stopped silently in the hallway, listening to Hugo and Jennie’s intimate conversation inside.

She swore she didn’t intend to eavesdrop; it just happened that way.

She quietly walked to the entrance and slipped out without making a sound.

After she left, Jared Farrell’s door also opened silently. He stepped out and looked thoughtfully at the now-empty entrance.
