Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 845: Repaying a Meal from the Past

Grandpa Langdon was momentarily startled but quickly let out a knowing smile.

If Tina could uncover the secrets of Jade Armour and Luke, how could she not have discovered Kylie Lambert's true identity?

With a soft chuckle, he said, "That's right. Kylie Lambert. She's not my niece, as I've claimed-she's actually my biological daughter."

To the Langdon family, he had always presented Kylie as the daughter of a distant cousin. No one suspected the truth. Kylie's mother was, without a doubt, the love of his life. Yet, he could never give her a proper status in his world.

It wasn't that he didn't want to-it was that he couldn't.

For years at the helm of the Langdon family, he knew better than anyone what kind of people surrounded him. His eldest son, Carl, was selfish, petty, and utterly ruthless. As for his younger son, Luke, he'd long considered him incompetent and narrow-minded.

If either of them discovered Kylie's true identity, she would never survive. In fact, Carl would likely kill her without hesitation.

Kylie, however, was born with a natural gift. Even as a child, her martial arts skills were extraordinary. Grandpa Langdon devised a plan to bring her into the family under the guise of being his niece, ensuring she was given the best of everything. But his kindness drew envy and malice from others.

Carl, in particular, couldn't stand her. While Grandpa Langdon was away, Carl severed Kylie's meridians, rendering her incapable of practicing martial arts. Worse, he assigned her a dangerous mission: to approach Jared. When Grandpa Langdon later learned of this, he was furious. He even considered killing Carl, but he held back. In his eyes, Carl was already unfit to inherit the Langdon family legacy, but as the eldest son, Carl's presence saved him from countless troubles. For now, Carl was untouchable.

He also knew that revealing Kylie's true identity would only ensure her death, and he still couldn't move against Carl. So, he played along, letting Kylie follow Carl's instructions.

In truth, he had another thought: if Kylie could win Jared's favor and the two of them became a couple, perhaps that would be the best way to protect her.

But he underestimated the bond between Jared and Tina. Their love was unshakable, like a mountain. Breaking them apart was nearly impossible.
