Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 952: If Poppy Dies, Someone Will Pay the Price

River raised an eyebrow and quickly pieced things together.

For the past five years, the world had speculated endlessly about Poppy's identity. Yet, one thing remained certain: Poppy's position within the Swanson family was unshakable, standing above everyone else. Grandfather truly doted on Poppy as if he were his most cherished grandson.

Jon had investigated Poppy's true identity before, but the results had always been inconclusive.

Given Grandfather's affection, if he ever discovered the rivalry between Jon and Kevin, there was no telling if he might begin grooming Poppy as the Swanson family's heir instead.

If that happened, all of Jon's years of preparation would be for nothing, his hard work turned into someone else's gain.

The thought made River's expression turn cold. He asked directly, "You want me to kill him?"

Only if Poppy were dead would there be no one in the family capable of threatening Jon.

Jon shook his head lightly. "No need for you to get your hands dirty. Since he's so fond of the Pace family, we'll give him an opportunity to visit them. Should anything happen to him on the way, it'll have nothing to do with us." River understood.

Poppy was always talking about Alina. If something happened, they could easily pin the blame on her.

Before Jon left, River suddenly asked, "Brother, will Kaleigh meet the same fate?"

Jon's gaze turned cold and distant. "Kevin won't spare her. If he's determined to drag someone down with him, why shouldn't I grant him his wish?"

Inside the room, River's eyes were filled with a chilling darkness.

As long as Poppy's death was pinned on Alina, the woman wouldn't be able to talk her way out of it. If she were burdened with a murder accusation, River was curious to see how she'd manage to hold her ground within the Pace family.

The next morning, Tina was awakened by the relentless buzzing of her phone.

Seeing the name that popped up first, she muted her phone without hesitation.

A second later, the normally quiet Serenity Ridge group chat exploded with over a dozen messages, one after another, each more urgent than the last.
