Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Jon looked at him suspiciously. "You're not fightingfor the Swanson family?" Jon sneered. "The Swanson family? I've never been after that. What I want is all of you." Narrowing his eyes, Jon pressed further. "What do you mean?" "Do you know how Dad died?" Kevin's tone was light, almost casual. But Jon's eyes turned red at his words. "Kevin, what are you trying to say?" Ignoring Jon's seething anger, Kevin calmly laid out the truth. "You all think Dad met my mom, and Grandpa forced him into a corner, leaving him no choice but to abandon the Swanson family and run off with her. On their way out, they got into a car accident, and both died." Kevin's eyes darkened like an abyss. "But what if I told you Dad actually killed himself?" Jon's expression shifted tically. "What nonsense are you spouting?" Kevin sneered coldly. "Dad was driven to death by that vile woman-your mother. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have died. My mom wouldn't have been so desperate as to take her own life. Everything-the downfall of the Swanson family-is all because of you." Jon's hysteria didn't faze Kevin. He wasn't about to tell him the whole truth. Sometimes, the less someone knows, the more their suspicions will grow.

Kevin brushed off imaginary dust from his clothes and prepared to leave. "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. I'm only here to let you know that you think Grandpa can't do without you, but you're just a stepping stone for Poppy." "Stop!" Jon's frustration boiled over. He couldn't believe Grandpa would hand over the massive Swanson family to a mere child. "You're saying Grandpa values Poppy more than me?" Kevin chuckled, his gaze icy as it landed on Jon's disbelieving face. A flicker of satisfaction passed through him. "That's right. But even Poppy is no exception." "In Grandpa's eyes, we're all just pawns." A pawn to be used and discarded.

Leaving the castle, Kevin was about to double back when he heard the butler's voice. "The Master ordered that the item be delivered inside. Don't concern yourself with anything else." Kevin slipped behind the wall and watched several people head into the depths of the castle.

Jon wasn't his target.

A faint smirk curled Kevin's lips as he circled around and left the area.

The next day.

At the Pace family residence.

Tina received an anonymous message early in the morning. It read: Jon is trapped. Mark brought someone back. Identity unknown. Narrowing her eyes, Tina immediately called Jayden. "Keep a close watch on Mark. Track his movements over the next few days." Jayden acknowledged the order and promptly sent Tina the information he had gathered over the past few days.

After quickly skimming through it, Tina sent another message to Cole Lyon: Bankrupt the Swanson family. Leave no traces.

On the first floor, Ruud and Alina sat at a low table, heads close together, writing out wedding invitations for Tina's upcoming wedding. With two major families plus the Brooks family involved, the guest list was overwhelmingly long. Piles of invitations were stacked at their feet. Tina walked over and watched the two of them, frantically scribbling down names, a strange sense of déjà vu creeping over her.

Wasn't this the sscene she'd witnessed not long ago? Curious, she asked, "Mom, isn't the wedding still a while away? Why are you in such a rush?" Alina, overwhelmed by the sheer number of names and feeling dizzy, nearly flicked a finger at Tina's forehead.

"Still early? Do you even know what day it is today?" Tina blinked. "The 12th." Alina rolled her eyes. "Your wedding is on the 18th." Tina froze. "... I thought it was at the end of the month?" Ruud spoke seriously. "Daughter, we can't just change the date casually. When we picked the date, your mom and I made sure it was the best day." Tina fell silent. She had known the wedding was this month but had forgotten to ask exactly when.

So, her wedding with Uncle was only six days away.

Alina didn't forget to remind her. "These invitations aren't just for us to write. You and Jared need to write stoo. Don't wait until the day before the wedding to remember-they need tto plan and attend!" "I've already written the invitations for your master and Hugo. You just need to handle your own list." Tina groaned inwardly. Couldn't she delegate all of this to Uncle? When she called Jared, he was busy finalizing details for the venue's flowers and guest seating arrangements. For the first time, Tina realized how complicated weddings could be.

Her parents had managed to pull everything together in just one day for their wedding. The only thing they'd done themselves was write the invitations.

Why did it feel like Uncle was so much busier for theirs? "Tina?" Jared's voice cthrough the phone.

"Uncle, I just found out when our wedding is. Is it too late?" Jared chuckled softly. "All Tina needs to do is wait forto pick you up." "Really?" Tina blinked. "What about the invitations?" "They're already written. I'll send you the list shortly for confirmation. Once you approve, I'll send them out." "Okay." After hanging up, Tina quickly received Jared's detailed guest list.

Uncle was reliable as always.

But when she opened the file, she was stunned by the sheer number of names.

Starting with Hugo and Jennie, the list ended with Lysander. There were over a hundred names.

Uncle had even included every student she had ever taught at Ensford, including Lysander. Tina was amazed by Uncle's thoroughness.

He wanted everyone who had ever been a part of her life to know she was getting married.

Initially, she thought Uncle would only invite their brothers and a few close friends. After all, they'd already registered their marriage, and the wedding was just a formality. But she had underestimated Uncle's determination.

Seeing the scale of the invitations, Tina admitted to herself that she had been unfairly critical of her parents. Now that it was her turn, she also felt overwhelmed.

Still, since Uncle had carefully chosen the guests, she trusted his judgment.

Closing the list, she sent Jared a message: It's great. I'll leave it to you.

Jared, upon receiving her approval, immediately had the invitations sent out.

Meanwhile, at the Pace family residence, Tina turned her attention to monitoring Mia's every move on her computer.

After the incident at the hospital, Tina was almost certain Mia and Claudia were connected.

Or rather, Mia was Claudia.

Putting aside the possibility of disguise, the ability to transform into another person instantly could only mean one thing-supernatural powers.

Tina had already witnessed the impossible too many times.

The peculiarities of the hidden family were proof enough.

But Mia had hidden her true nature well, using Warren as a shield to escape suspicion.

If not for Tina's upcoming wedding and the heavy scrutiny over Claudia's case from higher-ups, Tina would have already sent her to the lab to uncover her secrets.
