Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 517: Tina is His Boss's Daughter

The scene was chaotic. Grace was dragged away by someone, and Max was surrounded by a group of parents

demanding explanations. Even members of the Lyon family were not spared; numerous irrational boys

questioned why their girlfriends were getting engaged here.

Tina and Jared exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. Tina turned her head to Jared and chuckled, "Uncle, is

our engagement party not meant to be peaceful?"

Jared took Tina's hand and they walked down the stage together, "It seems heaven is telling us we should get

married soon."

Tina leaned her head on Jared's shoulder, "Is the dowry ready?"

"Didn't | already give fifty million?" Jared said with a smile.

"It's different," Tina raised an eyebrow, "That fifty million was for my dad, and now | want a lifetime's worth."

Jared lightly tapped on Tina's nose, "Don't worry, | am all yours, money included!"

Max fought through the crowd to rescue Grace from the irrational men and, with the help of bodyguards, safely

escorted her to the parking lot to leave. Despite being safe, Grace's face bore several slap marks, her

meticulously styled princess hair was a mess like a bird's nest, and her dress was marred by shoe prints from

being kicked several times.

Grace had never anticipated such a situation. Although she had many men around her, none were her boyfriend,

and their affections were merely casual remarks. She had managed them well and feared their parents might

join them today, so she had made excuses to prevent them from coming.

How could they all end up coming together? And that video, how did it get out? She was merely playing games

at a bar table with shandsguys; how could this happen!

"It must be that Tina's doing, Dad, | want her dead, | absolutely must kill her!" Grace shouted loudly.

Max looked at his daughter and slapped her across the face, his eyes sharp as a hawk's.

"Dad... you, you hit me?" Grace looked at Max incredulously.

She had never been hit by Max before, not even a finger laid on her, let alone a slap.

"I did hit you!" Max, face flushed with anger, demanded, "Who exactly is this Tina?"

They looked too alike. When he saw what Tina looked like, he momentarily thought he saw his boss.

Grace was even more shocked that her father's first concern was who Tina actually was.

"Dad, she's just a nobody, why care who she is, just kill her off, | can't stand seeing her again!"

"Shut up!" Max massaged his temples, "Do you even realize who you're dealing with? If she really is his

daughter, our Hancock family is done for."

Of course, Grace didn't understand what her father was talking about, "Whose daughter? Why are you afraid of

her? Even the Lyon family doesn't scare you!"

"You don't get it, just go back home, stop thinking about Jared, and if you dare touch Tina again, it's over

between us!" Max said and then got out of the car, instructing the driver to take Grace home. Meanwhile, Max

switched cars and went directly to Tina's villa.

Tina hadn't made any effort to hide her residence, so it wasn't surprising that Max could find it.

Max waited outside the villa for four hours before seeing Tina and Jared, hand in hand, carrying a large bag of

snacks as they returned.

Tina's lips curled slightly, a hint of coldness passing through her charming eyes.

"I'll go in first," Jared said, draping his coat over Tina's shoulders, knowing that this was not the tto disturb.

After Jared left, Max knelt on the ground, "Miss."

Tina looked down at the kneeling figure, her gaze indifferent, "Mr. Hancock, you got it wrong?"

"No, | didn't! The boss once instructed that if he was no longer around, we should follow all your orders. My

daughter doesn't understand, please forgive her, | am willing to take responsibility for all the mistakes."

Tina, hands in her pockets, looked down at Max. "Is that so?" She had never met Max before. In fact, she had

never met anyone related to her mother except for her master and Hugo's family before she descended from the

mountain. Naturally, they hadn't seen her either. It took Uncle ten years to find her, and both the Ward and

Woodham families didn't recognize her either. Only Max had recognized her immediately, which was unexpected

from the Hancock family. Max pursed his lips and said, "If it weren't for the boss, there would be no Hancock

family today. Not just us, but the Ward and Woodham families within Ashbury also worked for the boss. But after

the boss died, we never saw each other again."

Tina remained silent. The Ward and Woodham families were her mother's people, and she only learned of their

existence after Cole discovered that four families had visited after her mother's death, during her tin

Ensford.

Ethan Ward had told her that after her mother's death, he had wanted to find and protect her only daughter.

However, by then, her master had already taken her away. Ethan had missed her, but later, after she descended

from the mountain, she saved Ethan Ward's life and he becher disciple. At that time, she did not know that

Ethan Ward had known her mother. It was only later, in Ensford, that she found out through Cole's investigations.

As for Shonna, Tina had saved her not just at Grandma Lehman's request, but also to find out what the

Woodham family was really after. Shonna's father and Ethan Ward shared the sgoal - to find her and protect

her. The Hancock family was the only one she had not yet made contact with.

Tina raised her eyes and gave Max a deep, scrutinizing look, a trace of unnoticeable light flickering through her

eyes. "What brings you to me?" Tina asked neutrally, withdrawing her gaze.

Max pursed his lips again, "I am here to apologize and to ask for your continued support for the Hancock family.

We are willing to go through any trial for you, no matter how difficult!" Tina's lips curled slightly, "You're quite

straightforward about your intentions."

"The Hancock family has survived on the technology left by the boss. My own abilities are limited, and we have

been stagnant. Seeing you, Miss, is like seeing hope. | dare not hide anything from you." Tina raised an eyebrow,

"What deal are you making with the Lyon family?"

Max's legs were numb, but he dared not move. "It's about bionic organisms."

Bionic organisms were also one of the projects Natalie had worked on. After a failed mission, Natalie secretly

established YQ Labs, known only to Jared, Kahleah, and later Courtney. The research included many projects, like

3D biological printers, which were a continuation of the bionic organism research. Natalie hoped to use bionic

organisms to replace human bodies on the front lines, similar to the mechs in science fiction movies, which could

be remotely controlled and implant the controller's thoughts. This could effectively reduce casualties and

preserve combat capability. However, such technology, once developed, would be a monumental achievement,

shocking the entire scientific world but also posed certain risks. There were fears that someone might use this

technology for their own ends. Thus, Natalie kept it secret, under her control alone. Unexpectedly, the Hancock

family was also involved.

"How did this technology end up in your hands?" Tina frowned.

"The boss entrusted the unfinished technology toto safeguard and to develop sproducts to establish the

foundation of the Hancock family and for clinical trials, but after the boss died, there was no further

development." Tina glared at Max and asked further, "How did the Lyon family cto know of it?"

"I don't know," Max admitted, looking up at Tina briefly before quickly averting his gaze. "One day, Mrs. Lyon

approached me, bringing up the bionic organism technology. | was afraid of causing complications, so | agreed to

it, leading to the so-called engagement party and everything that followed."

"I just want to understand how the Lyon family cto know of it, not to really cooperate with them. I'm telling

the truth."
