Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 518: An Unsettled Account with the Lyon Family

Tina was not interested in hearing Max's explanations; knowing the intentions of the Lyon family towards Max was enough for her. She extended her hand towards Max, "Give me the translated version of the agreement you have set." Max paused, bewildered, "What translated version?"

"The encrypted contract of your agreement!" Tina replied, growing impatient. Max appeared even more confused, "I don't know of any encrypted document; our agreements are standard and in my car. Let me fetch it for you." Saying this, Max hurried to his car to retrieve the contract and handed it to Tina, "Please have a look, Miss."

Tina took the contract, and indeed, it was the agreement between the Hancock and Lyon families. However, both the format and the text differed from the contract Tina had seen in the Lyon family's safe. Although Tina was unaware of the specific nature of the contract in the safe, she was certain these two documents were not the same. It seemed Max had not lied about this. "You may go now," Tina said, handing the contract back to Max. This contract had no substantial content, merely detailing routine business transactions. The Hancock family, a leader in biotechnology in Clearwater, also owned shipping routes, making their collaboration with the Lyon family quite beneficial. Yet, the contract did not cover the advanced biotechnology of bionic organisms.

Max took the document, hesitated as if wanting to say more, then looked at Tina. She glanced coldly at him, expressionless, "As long as Grace doesn't bother me, it's safe!"

"Thank you, Miss," Max said as he watched Tina enter the villa before he got back into his car. As soon as the car door closed, his sycophantic expression turned severe. He gave the villa's gate one last deep look before patting the car seat, signaling the driver to depart.

Inside the villa, Tina watched through the window sheer as Max's car disappeared, a smile playing at her lips. Everyone misjudges sometimes. Like Tina, who had initially misjudged Hawk. Like Natalie, who had also misjudged Max. Jared brought over a cup of hot milk, "Try this, I heated it up." Tina let the sheer fall and took the milk, nodding seriously after a sip, "Not bad, better than the plain water you boil." Jared's mouth twitched, "Can't a man in your eyes even heat milk properly?" It seemed Tina always thought his survival skills were nil. Had she forgotten that compared to her disastrous cooking, his meals were quite decent?

Tina chuckled, "I think your hands should be earning more money for me, Uncle." Money was indeed sweeter than milk. Jared pinched her delicate cheek affectionately, "You money-grubber!" Tina clicked her tongue twice, "Who would ever complain about having too much money?" Jared stroked her head softly, "It's rare for me to have this trait, my lady. Rest assured, I will earn more money. Enough to last us this lifetime and the next."

"Good," Tina smiled, her grin as bright and dazzling as the sunlight. After finishing her milk, she leaned on Jared's shoulder to rest.

Suddenly recalling something, Tina looked up and asked, "Uncle, did my mother ever mention bionic organisms to you?" Jared shook his head, "No, the master knew I never had much talent for medicine and never discussed her research with me." Tina shifted to a more comfortable position, "My mom did mention it to me once. She said every technology has its pros and cons, like a bomb. In the hands of the wrong person, it's a dangerous weapon, but in the right hands, it can protect oneself and one's family. Bionic organisms are the same. If created to replace human bodies, once widespread, villains wouldn't need to show themselves to commit evil acts, posing a severe threat to society and public safety." Jared embraced Tina, saying, "But if it were used for preliminary reconnaissance, like the last time I was trapped in the mine, many dangers could be avoided and some combat strength preserved."

Tina yawned, looking somewhat tired, "It's just that I don't know how far along my mom has gotten with her research..."
