Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Paula edged closer to Tina and whispered nervously, "Serena, you don't think my father colluded with someone to harm your brother, do you? That's impossible! I...I swear on Hayden, my father would never do something like that. You helped our family recently-how could he repay you with such betrayal?"

Sean, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up to explain, "Mr. Daryl, I had no knowledge of this matter. But rest assured, I will investigate thoroughly once I return. Please believe me-since I've chosen to collaborate with you, I would never betray that trust!"

His words sounded hollow and frail, as if lacking conviction.

Sean pursed his lips and pointed to the serial number on the glass tube. "The recent batch of products researched by the White family all have serial numbers starting with 19. But this one starts with 18. I believe someone stole a failed experiment from earlier, taking advantage of a moment of negligence."

Paula remained steadfast in her belief in her father's integrity. She couldn't stand the suspicion cast on him and, trembling with agitation, huddled closer to Tina, repeatedly reassuring her.

Tina and Jared exchanged glances, their expressions inscrutable. Both wore cold, unreadable faces, their thoughts concealed as they silently looked at each other and then slowly shook their heads.

Sean's heart skipped a beat at the sight. A chilling dread crept up from his feet, spreading through every corner of his body. If Jared was dissatisfied with his explanation and decided to present this as evidence, the White family would be finished.

"Mr. Daryl..." Sean straightened his posture, about to continue speaking.

But Jared raised his hand slightly and interrupted, "Mr. White, Tina and I are willing to trust you. However, we still need an explanation for this matter."

Sitting beside him, Tina's expression was grave as she added, "The leak of biochemical weapons is no small incident. Whoever managed to take something from the White family's tightly guarded laboratory is undoubtedly someone Mr. White trusts. Since the White family began researching biochemical weapons, they've produced numerous experimental items that couldn't be mass-produced. If those items end up on the market, it won't just be a matter of whether or not we believe you, Mr. White."
