Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 268: It Turns Out to Be a Woman?

Tina was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention to what they were saying afterward. She stood up and said indifferently, "I'm tired, I'll head back to my room first." With that, she turned and walked away.

"I'll go with you," Jared Farrell said as he stood up. He quickly caught up to Tina and took her slender hand. Her fingers were icy cold, like winter frost.

They walked in silence. When they reached her door, Tina stopped and said to Jared Farrell, "Uncle, you should pack up and return to the Farrell family. I have some matters to handle."

Jared Farrell's deep eyes fixed on her face. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Okay." He didn't offer any comforting words; he knew she didn't need them. He also knew that the Reed family meant nothing to her. She wasn't sad; she just felt it was unfair for her mother.

Jared Farrell returned to his room, packed his luggage, and left. He had very little luggage, just one suitcase. After he left, Tina's eyes darkened slightly as she turned back into her room.

As soon as she entered, her phone rang. It was Cole Lyon calling. "Serena, I've arrived in Ashbury," Cole Lyon said. "I've found a place to stay near Whispering Pines."

"Good," Tina replied. "How are things going?"

"Everything is set up. Our people are in place, and the YQ Institute is operational. The order system just went live and we've already received an order."

Tina raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did they offer?"

"They offered Dragonsbreath! They want Crimson Silk in exchange and insist on a face-to-face transaction."

Tina was taken aback. "Are you sure it's Dragonsbreath?"

"Yes, I saw the photo," Cole Lyon confirmed but hesitated before continuing. "But Serena, could this be a trap? You just put out the word that you needed Dragonsbreath and now someone has it? It seems fishy. Maybe we shouldn't take this deal?"
