Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 522: I am Five Poisons

Brandon spoke with a hint of mockery. It was not surprising that he looked down on the Lyon family; after all, the items originally belonging to the Brookes family had been stolen by them, and there had been no progress for so many years. Now, they were still fixated on those very items, which had become their legacy. Tina could understand; after all, things passed down from ancestors are often considered by descendants as their rightful property. However, given that the Lyon family already possessed the technology for bionic organisms and had the contract in hand, why would they go out of their way to seek cooperation with the Hancock family? Or was it that the people of the Lyon family could not even understand the text on the contract themselves?

"Uncle, this contract, who is it between the Lyon family and?" Tina asked. Brandon looked down, and after a moment, he spoke solemnly, "This was actually drafted by the Brookes family, including an overview of all the technical concepts related to bionic organisms. Therefore, after it was stolen by the Lyon family, the Brookes family did not draft another to seek cooperation but started researching on their own. To be precise, this project was shelved." Brandon did not disclose who the other party in the cooperation was, but Tina understood. A few hidden families work for the government, and it seemed that the government was the partner in question. She did not ask further, knowing the content of the contract was enough.

The overview of bionic organism technology from back then was no longer a secret, as Tina had known about it since she was young. Her mother had told her about the bionic organism technology, but did not disclose much nor involve Tina. Instead, some confidential content was given to the Hancock family for development. After her mother's death, Tina had stayed in the mountains and had never touched upon the matter of bionic organisms. Now, Tina was sure that the reason the Lyon family wanted to cooperate with the Hancock family was to reclaim this technology.

"I understand, Uncle Brandon, thanks," Tina said as she put away the notebook. Brandon, dropping his uncharacteristic seriousness, showed a slight smile. "Hungry for anything? It's on me." Tina shook her head, "Never mind, you should think about how to calm Ian down and get your card back first."

"You snitch, it was because you told your grandfather that he stopped my card," Brandon sighed, feeling his good intentions had been wasted. Tina blushed, recalling the pink memories of that night, and she put on sunglasses, "My uncle is waiting for me for lunch, I should go."

"Alright, you're a grown girl now, go on then," Brandon waved his hand, indicating that Tina could leave. However, he did not stand up. Tina smiled and got up to leave. As she walked out, a slender woman approached, dressed in a way that spoke of wealth. As they passed each other, Tina smelled a faint fragrance on the woman-it was "Old Dream," a perfume Tina had once formulated. After its launch, it had been bought by a mysterious seller, who Tina later found out was the Brookes family!

The woman also glanced at Tina but quickly looked away without lingering. Tina slowed her steps and then heard the woman's voice from behind-"Brandon, it really is you. I saw you from outside, why are you sitting here? On a date?" "Who would I be on a date with if not Angela? What are you doing here?" Tina left the café, now aware of the identity of the recent woman. The daughter of the Brookes family, Rachel. Rachel sat across from Brandon, glanced at the departing Tina, and smiled, "Brandon, was that child the new granddaughter your father found, Tina?" Brandon drank his coffee like it was plain water and said gravely, "It's none of your business."

Rachel felt aggrieved. "Brandon, I just want to contribute, however modestly. Why must you push me away? I just want to visit Tina; after all, we are family."

"Rachel, Tina doesn't like being disturbed. You'd better stay at home, take care of your beauty, and go shopping," Brandon said as he put on his sunglasses, preparing to leave.

"Brandon." Rachel stood up and blocked his way, "When can I join the company? I'm old enough. Why must I stay at home? Even dad said I could join to gain some experience, and Issac is also inclined to let me. Why don't you agree?" Through his sunglasses, Brandon looked deeply at Rachel and finally said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, you're thirty-five this year, right? You better find someone to marry and settle down to put dad at ease. Since you grew up in our Brookes family, naturally, you'll have your share in the future. You don't need to join the company to claim your inheritance."
