Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 718: Someone is Targeting Natalie

The next day, Tina was still nestled in Jared's arms, deep in sleep.

Several trending searches about her shot to the top, and it was hard to tell if the comments below were from

paid posters or fans.

#Reed family's arrogant daughter# was met with nothing but negative reviews.

[Who is this Tina? Never heard of her, and our Kylie is so kind, how dare she?!]

[Poor Kylie, her team is so useless, taking on such a no-nproduct and letting her be bullied like this!]

[What's this Reed family perfume? Our Kylie endorsing them was already giving them a lift, and yet they do this

to Kylie!]

Tina was awakened by the urgent ringing of her telephone.

Angela's voice cthrough from the other end. Tina shifted her head, finding a more comfortable position to

answer, "What's wrong, Aunt Angela?" "Tina, cto the hospital, someone sneaked in last night."

Tina and Jared rushed to the hospital in record time. In the ward, Angela was already sitting by Natalie's bedside

waiting for them.

Usually calm and composed, Tina appeared gravely serious for the first time, and without waiting for Angela to

speak, she asked first, "What happened?!" Jared, following behind her, asked, "What's that in your hand?"

He remained relatively calm, noticing right away the syringe Angela was holding.

The white syringe contained a liquid that sloshed about like water with Angela's movements, shimmering a warm

hue under the golden sunlight.

Angela did not answer immediately but glanced at Natalie, who seemed no different from someone deep in

sleep, "I can feel it, their target is very clear. They don't want your mother dead; they want her to help test a

drug." "Test a drug??"

Tina's gaze was finally drawn to the liquid in the syringe, "Is it what's inside this? But why target my mother?"

Angela shook her head and handed the syringe to Tina.

She was unclear about the contents, but recalling the person from yesterday, she asked, "Tina, how much do you

know about the hidden families?"

At this, Tina was taken aback, "Other than the Brookes family, there are the White family, Dyer family, and Bailey

family."

Counting the families she had somewhat interacted with, Tina turned to Jared, "Uncle, what do you know?"

Jared's eyes darkened slightly as he slowly shook his head, "I only heard of the hidden families through the

Bailey family. Beyond that, what you know is pretty much what | know." These families had been around for

centuries.

Many details were unknown even to them, including Linden and others.

What could be found publicly was even scarcer, and if those people didn't show themselves, they might as well

be ordinary people to them.

Tina understood that Angela wouldn't bring this up without reason.

She looked at the syringe in her hand and suddenly said, "Aunt Angela, are you suggesting that the attack on my

mother yesterday is related to the hidden families?"

"That's right."

Angela nodded, "Although | have been tracking down the whereabouts of the Five Poisons for years. | have also

learned quite a bit about the hidden families."

"Leaving aside those obscure small houses. In their circle, the top tiers include five major families!"

Of course, if you count the Solomon family, it could be said to be six.

These families, each with their own unique martial arts and abilities, varied widely. In addition to the Brookes,

White, and Bailey families, there remained the Langdon and Lyon families!

"I don't know if anyone among these families has collaborated with the Five Poisons," Angela said as she pulled a

humanoid figure from under the bed.

"But since they can use androids for tasks, it's likely they're not directly GTO, but still deeply connected to

them."

Following Tina and Jared, Nathan and Hayden were nearly frightened out of their wits by her casual action.

They had thought Angela was so fierce she had killed someone and was blatantly keeping the body in the

hospital room.

Hayden gasped, "That scaredto death. How can Serena's aunt be as fierce as she is? Can she just pull

something like this out without warning?!" Nathan muttered, "She's ruthless!"

Courtney's expression remained composed as she distanced herself from the two, scrutinizing the hole on top of

the android's head. "Wait."

Tina suddenly crouched down.

"Is this, Eric?!"

At a certain teahouse.

In a secluded, private room on the second floor.

Ruud sat firmly in the primary seat, his presence as the superior causing those seated lower to sweat profusely.

Despite having done nothing, a feeling of guilt inexplicably arose within them.

The man's long, distinct fingers tapped on the document in front of him.

"After all this time, is this all we have?"

The intermittent tapping sounded almost like a death knell.

The person closest to Ruud was nearly cowering, "General Praevion, all information regarding the Reed family is

here."

"We've investigated everyone connected to the Reed family, including servants from that year, and haven't

found the person you're looking for."

Ruud was not satisfied with this conclusion.

"Are you tellingthat a living person just disappeared without a trace from the Reed family?"

The man sitting across from him hesitantly spoke, "No, it's just that there isn't anyone named Tracey in the Reed

family, not among the main family or the servants, not even among those who have had dealings with the Reed

family. We've checked everyone, and there's no such person."

Ruud frowned deeply, his expression stormy.

He should have conducted the investigation himself from the beginning, but he was too occupied with other

tasks at the time.

Sitting in his chair, Ruud's fingers slowly tapped on the table, creating a tense atmosphere.

The man opposite him swallowed hard and, seeing Ruud remain silent, finally said, "General Praevion, we

haven't found anyone named Tracey, but... | did find someone named Natalie."

Ruud's fingers paused, and he raised an eyebrow, "Speak."

"This Natalie was Jasper Reed's lover, supposed to marry him, but she ran away the day before their wedding.

Later, she married Hugo Reed from a side branch of the Reed family and had a daughter, reportedly conceived

when she left Jasper Reed. Later, Natalie died but somehow cback to life. She appeared at the X Bureau not

long ago and then suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace of her whereabouts."

The man paused, remembering something, and added, "Right, this Natalie's daughter, her nis Tina."
