Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 975: The Post-Marriage Mr. Farrell Holds No Authority Tina walked out of the backyard, but the furious voice behind her still echoed loudly.

"Brat! You're going to kill me! Those treasures of mine are meant to be passed down for generations. Nobody-nobody-is getting their hands on them! Tell those little punks to stop eyeing them..."

In the main hall, Ian and Jared had just finished a game of chess.

Looking at the board, where he had narrowly prevailed by a single move, Ian nodded with a smile. "Not bad, not bad. Your chess skills are far better than your grandfather's. That old man always cheats, using every trick in the book to win."

Jared withdrew his hand and replied with a laugh, "Grandfather, your chess skills are unparalleled. It's not just my grandfather who isn't your match; even I have to admit defeat."

Ian laughed heartily. "You're a good kid. If your grandfather heard this, he'd probably say you're siding with me instead of him."

Just as Ian stood up, Tina arrived, an air of confidence and mischief evident on her face. Before Ian could ask her what had happened, a heart-wrenching yell came from the backyard. "My treasure!"

"Brat, don't you dare leave!"

Tina raised a brow, grabbed Jared, and headed outside. "Grandfather, we're leaving now." Jared simply smiled, not asking a single question.

Ian, of course, understood what was going on. Chuckling, he waved them off. Then, he turned toward the backyard and intercepted the raging Master Tam mid-path.

Ian sighed. "Look at you, at your age, yelling and making a scene. Aren't you embarrassed in front of the kids?"

Master Tam's face turned red with anger. Pointing at Ian, he demanded, "How would you feel if treasures you've cherished for decades were snatched away? Wouldn't you be heartbroken?"

Ian responded with authority, "Depends on who's taking them. If Tina wanted them, I'd be happy to give her not just one, but an entire warehouse!"

Master Tam took a deep breath. "You're generous, sure. But your granddaughter took my treasure!"

Ian snorted. "Think about it. You're her master. She's lived with you since she was a child. Besides, you're not married, so who else would inherit your belongings when you're gone? Why get so worked up?"

Master Tam was left speechless.

On the way back to the Farrell family estate, Tina toyed with the dark agarwood bracelet she had taken from Master Tam, her mind replaying the things her master had said to her. Unconsciously, her gaze drifted out the window.

Jared, one hand on the steering wheel, reached over and gently tapped her hand. "Still no leads?"

A flicker passed through Tina's eyes. "We still don't know Claudia's true identity, but their ultimate goal is becoming increasingly clear."

Jared immediately guessed, "Immortality?"
