Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Rachel opened the report; it was dated today!

"What's going on here?" Rachel asked in surprise.

How could this be?

Why hadn't Jack given up on the paternity test with Tina?

Hadn't she already altered the results of the paternity test when she was in Clearwater?

Grace shrugged, "How would I know? If it weren't for my vigilance, Tina's identity would have been exposed long ago. Miss Brookes, it seems your position in the Brookes family is quite precarious."

"I don't need you to remind me, Five Poisons!" Rachel retorted sharply, her eyes filled with deep resentment.

And the woman in the villa, she was indeed wearing Grace's face as Five Poisons.

Looking in the mirror, Five Poisons seemed quite pleased with her current face, unfazed by Rachel's animosity, even enjoying it.

"Miss Brookes, getting angry leads to wrinkles, you know. You're so young; you should take care of your appearance," Five Poisons said, patting her face.

Rachel tore the paternity report into shreds and threw it forcefully into the trash can.

She sat down, her gaze heavy and cold, "What do you care about appearances, when you don't even live off your own face?"

Five Poisons didn't shy away, "Of course, my skin is very good, even with a fake face. I won't let my skin be damaged. As a woman, you shouldn't live so roughly."

While speaking, Five Poisons sat down opposite Rachel and picked up the glass of red wine she had just poured. "Miss Brookes, I've done you such a big favor. Shouldn't you show me some sincerity now?"

Rachel took a deep breath, "I've just arrived in Ashbury, taking advantage of my father's illness to come here. Otherwise, the Brookes family wouldn't want me here, afraid that I'd charm my father into giving me all of the Brookes family's wealth."

"You're here now, aren't you? When will you fulfill your promise?"

Five Poisons spoke lightly, as if commenting on the quality of the wine.

But Rachel instinctively straightened up, a tingling sensation running through her heart.

She was afraid.

Rachel swallowed hard, forcefully steadying her hand to stop it from trembling, "I'll do it as soon as possible, don't worry. I keep our agreement close to my heart."

Five Poisons swirled the wine glass, the wine flowing smoothly over her red lips. Her calm eyes revealed a hint of danger.

Rachel bowed her head, unable to meet Five Poisons' eyes.

"Then, Miss Brookes, I wish us a pleasant collaboration. Don't disappoint me," Five Poisons smiled, standing to pour another glass of wine.

Rachel quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Take your time; I'll be going now."

"Take care," said Five Poisons, her back to Rachel, her tone light.

Rachel walked out of the villa, hurriedly returning to her car, taking a long while to calm the tremors in her palms.

She leaned on the steering wheel, her mind echoing with a scene from the past.

That year, she was six.

In the Brookes family's back garden, she witnessed a man climbing in, approaching her and Alina, who were playing in the garden.

Alina was very alert, shielding Rachel behind her, staring intently at the man and demanding, "Who are you? Why are you here in my home?"

The man, wearing a half-mask that only revealed his red lips and slight stubble on his face, smiled, crouched down, and answered Alina's question, "You must be Alina, right? About the same age as my daughter. I am called Five Poisons. This is our first meeting, and I didn't bring a gift. You don't mind, do you?"

Alina remained vigilant as she eyed the man. "What do you want? Stay away from us!"

"I'm going to take you away, so your father will lose you forever. That's my pleasure, Alina, let's go." Five Poisons reached out to Alina, still smiling like a gentle breeze. Rachel had been hiding behind Alina all this time, unsure of what to do.

But when she heard that her father would lose her forever, something fierce stirred within her.

She looked up at Alina, who was protecting her, and silently stepped back.

At this moment, Alina had prepared herself for battle, and with her current martial arts skills, she could still hold her own.

However, Rachel picked up a stone from the ground and fiercely smashed it onto Alina's head.

Alina turned around in disbelief, her eyes full of shock.

The next second, she collapsed into unconsciousness.

Rachel handed the stone to Five Poisons, timidly saying, "You said it, you would make her leave her father forever."

Rachel's arm pressed down on the steering wheel, and the sound of the car horn snapped her back to reality.

She sat up straight, took a deep breath, and realized that sweat had already formed on her forehead.

Rachel started the car, her gaze hardening as she pressed the accelerator.

"Alina, I will make sure your daughter never returns to the Brookes family. It took a lot to get rid of you thirty years ago, and I will not let your daughter be an obstacle again!" Ashbury Secret Prison.

Tina pushed the door open.

Joshua was curled up on the ground in pain, clutching at his collar, breathing heavily yet unevenly.

It felt as though ants were crawling all over his nerves, painful and itchy, but there was no stopping it.

Tina sat comfortably on a stool, a lollipop hanging from her mouth, her face bearing a mocking smile.

"Uncle Joshua, you seem to be in a lot of pain," Tina said as she shifted the direction of her lollipop, her smirk deepening.

Joshua was Jared's favorite person in the Farrell family, a significant figure to him throughout his life.

In Jared's heart, Joshua's status was no less than Logan's.

But what had Joshua done?

He exploited Jared's trust, step by step leading him to doom, repeatedly trapping him in whirlpools.

At the last moment, he even tried to use everyone in the Farrell family to control Jared.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

And the purpose? Merely to vie for the inheritance.

It was ridiculous. Jared would have willingly given up his position as heir if Joshua had simply asked, especially since Joshua claimed he did not want to inherit the Farrell family. Jared didn't care much about the heir position.

But the empire Logan had built needed a reliable person to inherit and carry on.

Jared had originally planned to hand over the heir position to Joshua once things stabilized.

But unexpectedly...

This matter had always been a pain in Jared's heart.

He never spoke of it, but Tina knew.

Joshua, curled up, pressed his hands against his stomach, his eyes fiercely glaring at Tina.

"Where is the antidote!"

Joshua roared, but no matter how loudly he shouted, it could not change the fact that he was merely a caged lion, his former glory long dissipated.

Tina glanced at her watch, "Congratulations, you've once again survived the toxin's torment."
