Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 371: She Was Not His Own

Annabelle's face underwent a drastic change. How could Jared possibly know about this? She had not shared this secret with anyone in the Reed family, not even her own son. She had traveled alone to Serenity Ridge just to avoid leaving any trace. But why? How did Jared come to know?

Annabelle looked somewhat panicked but forced herself to remain calm, angrily retorting, "What are you talking about? When did I ever bring a killer with me? Tina knows, she saved me then; I was being chased by the killer! If I had brought the killer, why would he chase me?"

Jared laughed dismissively, "You probably don't know that the organization of assassins you went to was founded by my master. How coincidental is that?"

"What!!" Annabelle was shocked, her face a picture of disbelief. Were these people Natalie's?

No wonder! No wonder they had suddenly turned on her to kill her! She remembered clearly that when she had placed the order, the organization had sent assassins to accompany her. Everything was fine until they reached Serenity Ridge. When she mentioned Natalie's name, the leader's expression changed. They confirmed again, asking if the person she wanted killed was Natalie's child. She had affirmed it was.

Then, those people started to attack her. Unknown to anyone, she knew martial arts, a skill she had hidden for decades. In a critical moment, she had no choice but to defend herself. Thus, she fled in panic.

But these were well-trained assassins; how could she possibly escape from them? Moreover, the terrain of Serenity Ridge was too complex. She circled many times but couldn't find her way out and was eventually caught.

In desperation, she told the assassins that she had something left by Natalie. She promised to hand it over if they spared her life. Perhaps the assassins had deep feelings for Natalie, for once they heard the item was Natalie's, they indeed spared her.

They pressured her to hand over the item, but at that point, what could she give? Especially since she had lost everything, including her phone and bag, while running. She could only stall.

By chance, she encountered Tina. All she saw was Tina throwing a handful of white powder, and then those men fell to the ground, not getting up. She knew this girl was no ordinary person and thus clung to her, hoping Tina would take her back.

On this point, she had to admit, although Tina was cold in demeanor, she was warm-hearted. Despite apparent impatience, she protected Annabelle thoroughly all the way. Later, when the assassins caught up with them again, Tina dealt with them all.
