Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 822: You Have Quite the Eye

Vivienne's face darkened with dissatisfaction. "What's Victor's is mine. We're husband and wife. Don't tell me I don't even have the right to use his personal bodyguards?" Johnson hesitated before responding bluntly, "Actually, you don't."

While the truth was harsh, he chose not to elaborate, instead offering a polite but troubled expression. "Madam, those are the master's instructions. If you'd like, you can call him directly. If he agrees, I'll arrange it for you immediately." "Mom," Kelly interjected, stomping her foot in frustration. They'd just managed to locate Jared; giving up now wasn't an option. If her father found out, everything would be ruined.

Vivienne patted her daughter's hand, signaling her to stay calm. Her gaze casually swept over Woods. "He's not one of Victor's personal bodyguards, is he? Let's take him with us, along with a few others of his caliber." "You have quite the eye."

Ella Bailey's voice suddenly cut through the air, drawing everyone's attention.

Woods immediately stepped back, positioning himself behind Ella Bailey with swift movements. "Apologies, Miss Walker," he said firmly. "I am Miss Ella's bodyguard. Without her permission, I cannot accompany you."

Ella Bailey seemed pleased with Woods' quick judgment. Crossing her arms, she stepped forward. "Did you hear that, Miss Walker? For someone your age, it's surprising you still don't understand your place."

"In this family, my father holds the highest authority. After him, it's me. And my bodyguard? You dare touch what's mine? Looks like you don't want to stay in the Bailey family anymore!"

Behind her, Luke Gill's brow twitched slightly. He glanced at Ella Bailey, who appeared to be in a good mood, then shifted his gaze to the silent Woods standing behind her. His dark eyes flickered briefly before settling into calm indifference. Vivienne, on the other hand, was trembling with rage at Ella Bailey's words. Yet, with Johnson present, she had to maintain her usual facade. Forcing a graceful smile, she said, "Ella, there's no need to be so harsh. I didn't realize-thought he was just one of the regular bodyguards."

Ella Bailey scoffed. "Then your eyesight must be truly terrible."

"Ella, how can you speak to Mom like that?!" Kelly protested indignantly. "We're all family. What's the big deal about borrowing your bodyguard for a bit?"

Ella Bailey shook her head, unimpressed. "Family? Don't lump me in with you. Stop flattering yourselves-it's disgusting. And at this hour, no less."
