Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 839: Tracey, Is It Really You?

Outside the courthouse, Ruud climbed straight into the car.

Gabe, watching him, grew anxious and quickly stepped forward. "Ruud, you're leaving already?"

Ruud waved dismissively. "Yes, I'm leaving. You all head back."

Gabe was baffled and frustrated. "But if you leave like this, how are we supposed to explain it to the higher-ups? We came here with a task today!"

"What's there to explain? I've been single for nearly fifty years, working tirelessly for the government. The higher-ups owe me a wife and child. Don't they need to compensate me?" Ruud declared confidently.

Gabe was speechless. "You're not wrong, but we still haven't found the one you've been looking for, have we? And you just handed Luke Gill and Victor over to Tina for no apparent reason. Those two are key figures in the operation-this will definitely raise questions..."

Before Gabe could finish, Ruud interrupted him coldly. "Nothing is more important than finding my wife and daughter! Tell the higher-ups I'm done. I quit. I'm going to find my wife!" "What?"

Both Gabe and Armel, who had just walked over, were utterly stunned.

Could this really happen?

He's quitting-just like that?

No resignation letter? No formalities? Just a single sentence?

Recovering from his shock, Gabe hurriedly tried to reason with Ruud. "Ruud, of course we all support you in finding your wife, but this doesn't have to conflict with your work!"

Gabe hadn't overheard Ruud and Tina's conversation earlier during the trial and didn't understand what had transpired.

"It doesn't conflict, my ass! I've already offended my daughter to the core! If I don't hand over two people to her immediately, do you expect me to have anyone to take care of me in my old age?" Ruud snapped angrily. "What?" Gabe and Armel were even more confused.

"Daughter? Ruud, when did you have a daughter? Why didn't we know about this?"

Ruud's feelings for someone weren't exactly a secret, and Gabe and Armel had been aware of it. Ever since returning to the country, they'd been helping Ruud search for her.
