Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

On the other side, Liliosa returned to the Emerson family from the Reed family, her anger almost burning her up inside. She was fuming as she opened the door and saw Mack playing games in the living room. She was taken aback, “Mack, why are you back?”

Mack didn’t even lift his eyes from his game, “My dad bailed me out.”

Liliosa was stunned and then snorted coldly, “At least he has some conscience.” She then said to Mack, “Since you’re back, pull yourself together. Don’t forget there’s a bastard child eyeing our family now.”

Mack was engrossed in his game and didn’t respond. “Mack!” Seeing him playing games at this critical moment, Liliosa was furious. “How can you still have the mood to play games? The entire Emerson family is laughing at us! You need to pull yourself together and show them that you are the rightful heir of the Emerson family!”

“Mom, stop nagging. They are just making trouble for no reason! In the end, the Emerson family’s assets will be mine; that’s indisputable!” Mack replied impatiently, gripping his game controller.

As the eldest son of the Emerson family and the primary heir, he believed no one could take his place. Even if others had different ideas, it wouldn’t change this fact.

Liliosa was livid. If Mack hadn’t been so useless and embarrassing, Hawk wouldn’t have brought Lysander back home. Now that the bastard was being raised in another house and Hawk was showing him off everywhere, it was clear he was planning for the future.

“Yours?” Liliosa snatched the controller from Mack’s hands and threw it on the ground. “If you don’t shape up immediately, your dad will give everything to Lysander!”

Hearing that his father might give everything to Lysander finally made Mack look up, but he still seemed skeptical. “Give it to that bastard? How is that possible? He’s just some unknown guy who only knows how to play esports. The Emerson family won’t agree!”

In the past, the elders of the Emerson family might have had objections, but seeing how incompetent Mack had become, their opinions were changing. They would rather choose Lysander, who was young, smart, and had achieved success in esports.

Liliosa poked him hard with her finger. “Do you want to watch our family’s assets being taken away before you wake up?”

“Lysander is not easy to deal with. Who knows if he’s plotting something behind our backs? If your dad listens to him and leaves everything to him, it’ll be too late for regrets!”

As she spoke, Hawk returned home. Seeing the game on TV made his expression darken.

“Hawk!” Liliosa hurried to greet him and took his coat. “You must be tired. I’ll ask a servant to make you some tea so you can rest.”

“No need,” Hawk replied coldly.

He seemed disgusted by Liliosa and Mack’s presence and walked straight to his study without even looking at Mack.

Liliosa bit her lip tightly, her expression darkening.

Hawk’s attitude was clearly because of Mack’s behavior. Things were getting worse; she couldn’t let Mack continue like this.

Having been kicked out by the Reed family, she couldn’t afford to be sidelined in the Emerson family too.

Just as she turned to glare at Mack and plan her next move, her phone rang.

Annoyed, she answered it and heard someone say, “Mrs. Emerson, we have news about your daughter! We found traces of her in Ensford!”

Liliosa trembled all over!

Her daughter! Her Annie!

She almost dropped her phone in shock and asked excitedly, “Are you sure? My daughter was really in Ensford?”

Annie had always been a knot in her heart for years. She blamed Jasper for not taking care of their daughter properly and causing this tragedy.

Despite all this time passing, she never gave up searching for Annie.

Finally, her efforts paid off; there was news about her daughter.

“It’s true; we’re not lying. I’ll send you detailed information later.”

The person on the other end sounded confident. Liliosa nodded vigorously. “Okay! I’ll go to Ensford right away! I need to find my daughter!”

After hanging up, Liliosa booked the earliest flight ticket and packed her bags.

Mack frowned at her. “Mom, are you crazy? Going to Ensford this late?”

He couldn’t understand why Liliosa still held onto hope after all these years when Annie had been missing for so long.

Back then, Jasper and Hawk had used all their resources to search every corner of the capital but found nothing. She should have given up by now.

Searching like this was like looking for a needle in a haystack; no one even knew if Annie was still alive.

“Annie is waiting for me! I must go immediately!”

Thinking that her daughter might be in Ensford right now made Liliosa desperate to fly there and turn Ensford upside down looking for her.

She had waited for so many years; she couldn’t wait any longer. She wanted to bring Annie home and hold her precious daughter again.

Mack rolled his eyes, thinking she had lost it.

Every time Annie was mentioned, Liliosa acted like a madwoman-one moment furious and another moment sobbing uncontrollably.

“Mom, don’t get your hopes up too high; we’ve had false leads before. It’s been so many years; how could we find her now?”

Despite Mack’s attempts to dampen her spirits, Liliosa ignored him and left the Emerson family with her luggage in tow.

The next day.

Jasper returned home after finishing work at the company and learned that Hugo and his wife had moved in.

Annabelle had approved it; although Jasper felt a bit uncomfortable about it, he said nothing outwardly.

As soon as Jasper entered his study, Annabelle followed him.

“Jasper.”

Annabelle entered and sat on the sofa in his study as if she had something to say.

Jasper understood immediately and spoke first. “Mom if there’s something you want to say just say it.”

“Tina’s adoptive parents are staying with us now; I thought I should tell you.”

Annabelle sighed softly. “You know Tina has a good relationship with them because they took care of her; I didn’t want to refuse Tina and make her sad.”

“I understand.”

Jasper nodded and put aside his documents. “You’re considering Tina’s feelings; I have no objections.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing that he understood eased Annabelle’s mind a bit. “You’ve been busy with work lately; you haven’t even had a meal with Tina. No matter how important work is it can’t be more important than Tina!”

“Spend more time with Tina; we finally found our daughter again-you must cherish this.”

“I understand Mom.”

Satisfied that Jasper understood Annabelle relaxed a bit more. “Alright then I’ll leave you alone now; don’t overwork yourself.”

Outside Tina listened quietly before turning back to her room.
