Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

During breakfast, Hugo remembered James Heart’s call from the previous day.

“By the way, there’s something I need to tell you. We’re moving today, to Jade Gardens.”

“Mr. Reed, did you buy a house?” Tina frowned. The property prices in Jade Gardens were even higher than Pinkwater Alley, and all the houses there were villas, costing millions.

“No, but I might buy one in the future.” Hugo couldn’t help but smile at the thought of such a windfall.

“Here’s the thing, Jade Gardens is developed by our group’s real estate subsidiary. Their marketing department wants to use real-life experiences to promote the villas. Somehow, they chose our family.

“Mr. Heart called me yesterday and said that if our family lives in a model villa for a month, not only will I get a bonus, but we can also buy the villa at a price much lower than the market rate. I thought it was a great deal, so I agreed.”

Hearing that it was James Heart’s idea, Tina didn’t bother to argue.

“You handle it; I have no objections.”

Jared Farrell, however, frowned. He felt something was off and said, “Mr. Reed, Mrs. Reed, I don’t have a place to stay recently. You wouldn’t mind if I joined you for the experience, would you? I’m also considering buying a villa in Jade Gardens.”

Hugo’s eyebrows shot up. You took my daughter and now you want to stick around? He was about to refuse.

Jennie gave him a look, and he immediately backed down.

Since Jared Farrell and Tina were already like that, it was better to let the young couple cultivate their relationship.

Reluctantly, he nodded.

“Dad, will we be able to live in a big house from now on?” Zackary asked with bright eyes.

“Yes.” Hugo patted Zackary’s head happily.

Seeing his son’s expectant eyes, he was determined to buy that villa. Besides, at such a low price, he might never get another chance like this.

He told Tina, “Since it’s just for a month, we only need to bring some essentials. There’s not much to do; you don’t need to worry about moving.”

“Alright.” Tina nodded. She had something on her mind and quickly tidied up after breakfast. “I’m heading to school.”

“I’ll go with you,” Jared Farrell said as he stood up.

“There’s only a week left until exams, and there are no more PE classes. Why are you going to school?” Tina teased him.

“The person you’re looking for, I’m looking for her too. Let’s go together,” Jared Farrell replied simply.

Tina’s eyes flickered. She was indeed going to school early to find someone.

That girl, Courtney Tate-Tina had noticed her skills on the basketball court that day. After seeing her deft bomb-disarming skills yesterday, she was convinced that Courtney Tate was the child she had been looking for all along.

When Tina and Jared Farrell arrived at Ensford High School, Mr. Stiller informed them that Courtney Tate had transferred to the capital overnight.

“She must have been scared by yesterday’s kidnapping and decided to transfer suddenly,” Mr. Stiller said with a frown. He couldn’t understand why Courtney Tate would transfer so close to exams. There probably weren’t any good schools in the capital willing to take her in at this point.

However, given her sixth-place ranking in the last mock exam, she should still be able to get into a good university even if she transferred suddenly.

Tina remained silent. She and Jared Farrell had been searching for Courtney Tate for so long to uncover the truth about her mother’s last mission and the matter of the serum.

And now she had run away.

Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number: “Miss Reed, I know you have many questions for me. Come find me in the capital; I’ll be waiting here.”

Courtney Tate!

Jared Farrell saw it too and exchanged glances with Tina, both pondering Courtney Tate’s intentions.

Was her sudden transfer an attempt to avoid someone or a bait to lure Tina to the capital?

Jade Gardens.

The company had given Hugo a day off specifically for the move. He and Jennie called a moving company.

James Heart had mentioned that the villa was fully furnished with all necessary appliances and household items, so they only brought clothes and essentials.

When they were led by the property management to the designated model villa, Hugo thought they had made a mistake.

The villa was not only in the best location in Jade Gardens but also the largest one. What real estate company would use their best house as a model home?

But when the property staff handed them the keys and assured them there was no mistake, Hugo and Jennie moved their things into the villa with mixed feelings of surprise and doubt.

Once inside, they were stunned by the luxurious European-style decor.

Custom-made crystal chandeliers, handcrafted leather sofas, coffee tables and dining tables with surfaces made of polished jadeite, even hand-woven carpets.

The value of the villa’s decor and furniture alone could easily buy another similar villa.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Does your company really make model homes this lavish?” Jennie was dumbfounded. She didn’t even know where to put her feet for fear of damaging something expensive and having to pay for it.

“Did Mr. Heart really say we could keep all this furniture and decor afterward?”

“Yes, that’s what he said.” Hugo was equally astonished.

“Is your Mr. Heart just throwing money away?” Jennie couldn’t understand it.

Before they could recover from the shock of the villa’s opulence, the doorbell rang suddenly.

“It must be the property staff coming to correct their mistake,” Hugo said as he hurried to open the door. “I knew it couldn’t be this house…”

But when he opened the door, he was greeted by James Heart’s smiling face.

“Mr. Heart?”

Behind James Heart stood eight strikingly handsome men. Hugo instantly understood what was going on.

“Mr. Heart, this house is meant for you, isn’t it? Sorry for the mix-up; we’ll move out right away.”

“No, no, no mistake,” James Heart quickly stopped him. “I’m not here to kick you out. It’s like this: your daughter Tina has some brothers from Serenity Ridge who came to visit her in Ensford but couldn’t reach her directly. So they found our company, and I brought them here.”

“Brothers?” Jennie walked over and looked curiously at the eight men behind James Heart. They were old enough to be Tina’s uncles; how could they be brothers?

“Hello,” Dexter Brookes stepped forward as their representative. “We joined our teacher later than Tina did, so…”

Jennie nodded in understanding but felt uneasy due to Dexter Brookes’ strong presence.

She exchanged glances with Hugo, thinking that James Heart wouldn’t bring eight bad people to their home. Since they claimed to be Tina’s brothers, they let them in.

The couple was also curious about Tina’s life on the mountain over the past ten years since she always glossed over it without giving details.

So James Heart and his eight companions dragged a reluctant Hayden Cohen into their home.
