Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 950: Boris, You Are Too Ungrateful Boris let out a cold laugh, like he had just heard something absurd. "Ungrateful? Me? Dad, what about you?" "Since I was a child, I was never good enough for you. You praised Ruud for his courage and drive, you admired Edwin for his intellect and vision, but when it cto me, all you ever showed was disdain. And now you say I'm ungrateful?" "I spent decades by your side, serving you like a servant. And what did you do? You told everyone I was lazy, aimless, a disappointment who wasted his days. You said I wasn't even half the man Ruud or Edwin were." "You always talked about them, but what have they ever done for you?" "Dad, you're the one who's ungrateful. You wanted all three of your sons to be as perfect as you." Warren's body swayed slightly. After a long silence, he let out a sigh, as though speaking to Boris or perhaps just to himself.

"I was strict with all of you when you were young. Ruud and Edwin grew into capable men, but you... you always sought comfort and indulgence. And now, you blme for your failures." "Enough. You've lost yourself to the point of no return. I won't bother with you anymore." Hearing his father's words, Boris's dark eyes burned with hatred. "It was all of you who pushedto this! You're the reason I've becwhat I am today. You can't just walk away!" As Boris pulled out a knife, Tina swiftly flicked her wrist, sending silver needles to lock the poison inside him. The medicine he had taken earlier, now fully activated, intensified its effects.

Blood poured from Boris's body almost immediately-not just from his mouth, but now from his entire face. Tina walked over coldly, tossing aside the knife Boris had planned to use to threaten Warren. She sneered, "Fools always find excuses!" Ruud stepped forward, helping Warren to the side. His gaze toward Boris was now devoid of any emotion. Boris coughed up blood as he spoke. "Dad... save me... please... I don't want to die." Even Warren, who had been hardened by everything Boris had done, couldn't steel himself against the sight of his son dying in front of him. "Tina, for my sake, can you spare his life?" "Grandpa, this poison isn't lethal," Tina replied indifferently and with a wave of her hand neutralized the toxin in Boris's body.

In an instant, Boris went from the brink of death to salvation, but the terror left him humiliated-he lost control of himself, leaving a puddle beneath his feet.

Tina cast him a look of disgust. "You call yourself clever. You say Grandpa was unfair to you, that my father and Uncle Edwin stole your glory. But have you ever asked yourself-if the entire Pace family were handed to you, would you even have the ability to stand at the top?" Boris's eyes burned with rage. Again with "ability"! Everyone always used that word against him. Why? He didn't think he was any less capable than anyone else! Tina seemed to see through his thoughts. Her tone was calm, but it struck like a hammer.

"The 'ability' you speak of is nothing more than scheming to wrest glory from your family. The Pace family's honor was built by Grandpa and my father. Its reputation was solidified by Uncle Edwin. And you? You've earned nothing but the titles of a hedonist and a wastrel." "My father has dedicated his life to serving the country. His status and position no longer need the Pace family's nto protect him. Uncle Edwin's achievements as a diplomat have guaranteed his own place. Neither of them care about the Pace family!" "If you had lived with even a fraction of decency, the Pace family would have eventually been handed to you. Even if it wouldn't have thrived under you, my father and Uncle Edwin would have supported you. But instead, you wasted all your energy plotting against your family! Your appetite is so large-how have you not choked on it?" Ruud, listening to Tina repeatedly refer to him as "my father," couldn't help but beam with joy. The sour expression he'd worn while dealing with Boris had completely melted away, replaced by a grin so wide it seemed he might burst into laughter.

His daughter had finally acknowledged him.

She hadn't yet called him "Dad," but he wasn't in a rush. That day wouldn't be far off.

Boris stared at Tina, stunned by her words. Then, as if seeking confirmation, he turned to Warren. "Dad, is this true?" If the Pace family was always meant to be his, then what was the point of all his foolish actions? Had he been helping others destroy himself all along? Warren's face was expressionless. "Yes." He stepped forward, towering over Boris. "I have three sons. Ruud and Edwin have earned their own glory. With or without the Pace family, they're forces to be reckoned with. But you... you've achieved nothing. Still, your years of loyalty todidn't go unnoticed. That's why, long ago, I discussed with Ruud and Edwin that the Pace family would eventually be handed to you." Boris couldn't believe his ears. It was as if his soul had left his body. "No... no way. If you planned to givethe Pace family, why didn't you tell me? If you had, I wouldn't have-" Warren let out a cold laugh. "Look at the mess you've made. How could I tell you? Do you think I'd let you destroy the family I worked so hard to build?" Boris hung his head, silent.

"Ruud and Edwin had no objections to leaving the family to you," Warren continued. "But they had one condition: you had to prove you were ve capable of leading. That's why I was always hard on you. You think my criticism was meant to tear you down? No, it was because your reckless behavior gaveno choice. If I didn't scold you, I'd have choked on my anger!"

"Do you realize that when you poisoned me, Ruud wanted to drag hardt was I you before a military tribunal? who stopped him. Even then, he refused to support you inheriting the family. I convinced him to give you more time, but you've only grown worse. Do you know your actions have endangered the nation?" Boris was shocked. "That's impossible! I only helped someone find an artifact. How could I have endangered the country?" He wasn't stupid. He only wanted the Pace family. Why would he do something that could get him killed? If he lost his life, what use would the family be to him, even in the afterlife? Tina's cold laugh cut through the air. "Claudia's organization seeks to overthrow this era and return to a twhen one person rules supreme."

"What?" Boris's eyes widened in e panic. "But I didn't do anything! She only askedto find the Jade m Armour and haven't even found it yet! This has nothing to do with me! Dad, please, save me! I swear, I didn't do anything to harm the country!" "The Jade Armour belongs to the Langdon family," Tina said, her lips curling into a smirk. "Guess why the Langdon family's treasure is in my hands?" Boris froze. "In your hands? She said it was in the Pace family! How could it be with you?" The will be updated first on this website.
