Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 958: Dad, No Need for Words

When River saw who had arrived, it was as if she'd spotted her savior.

She fell to her knees and crawled to Mia's feet, sobbing bitterly.

"Aunt Mia, please stand up for us sisters. Poppy is the apple of our grandfather's eye, and now he's lying in the hospital at death's door. They refuse to take responsibility, and I don't know how to face Grandpa. That's why I came to you..." River cried her heart out, recounting the entire car accident involving Poppy, conveniently placing all the blame on Tina.

Mia, hearing this, shot a sharp glare in Tina's direction before turning back to River.

"Our Pace family has always owned up to our responsibilities. If your brother really got hurt because of Tina, the Pace family will not ignore it."

Kaleigh, finally feeling relieved, snidely remarked to Tina, "The Swanson family finally has a sensible person."

Ruud's face darkened, about to retort, but Tina spoke first.

"Dad, there's no need to waste your breath. File the lawsuit, report the case-whatever needs to be done."

Ruud froze for a moment. "Tina, what did you just call me?"

Tina glanced at him, repeating, "Dad. There's nothing wrong with your hearing."

Ruud's face broke into a wide grin, his joy barely contained. He gleefully went to make a phone call.

He wanted everyone to know-his daughter had called him "Dad."

But... file a lawsuit?

He recalled the last time Tina filed a lawsuit against the Bailey family. The Bailey family and Langdon family had both collapsed.

Could his daughter be brewing another masterstroke?

Tina: ... Not this time.

Then Tina turned to Alina and calmly said, "Mom, didn't the hospital say yesterday that Poppy's condition was improving? Send someone to check on him. If he wakes up suddenly, we can call the police to take his statement." River and Kaleigh exchanged a glance, their eyes tightening with panic. Poppy... must not live.
