Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Nathan raised his hand, signaling everyone to advance. Thus, the group slowly approached the villa. Tina and Jared trailed behind; after the first wave advanced and set up an ambush, the second wave followed and soon the villa was surrounded.

Inside the villa, Dorothy Russell opened her eyes and unconsciously touched her face, sensing something amiss. She quickly got up and walked to the mirror. As she saw her reflection, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. Her face was covered with wrinkles, and her skin was aging rapidly.

"Bang!" Dorothy Russell slammed her palm on the wooden desk, smashing it to pieces. She growled, "Failed again."This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

She had been asleep all day, yet the wrinkles hadn't faded. The ST-1 was unable to suppress the rate of her aging. At this rate, she feared she would die before obtaining what she desired.

Dorothy Russell looked at the shattered desk, slowly calming her emotions. She couldn't afford to be angry-the more she was, the faster she aged. After a moment of silence, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. The call connected quickly, and a dark, angry voice came through, "Didn't I tell you not to call me if it's not important?"

Ignoring his anger, Dorothy spoke directly, "It's time to research new drugs. The effects of ST-1 last too short. It's not sufficient. I think we can start by..."

Before she could finish, Dorothy quickly walked to the window. Upon seeing the dense circle of people outside, her expression darkened instantly. The man on the other end sensed her panic and asked, "What's going on?"

"I've been discovered."

The man cursed, "Idiot!"

Dorothy frowned, her voice cold, "Instead of scolding me, you might want to hurry up and save me."

"It's useless..."

Before the man could finish, Dorothy scoffed, "I've already found a new direction for my research. If you don't save me, you'll never get what you want."

She knew escape was impossible now. Previously, she could have used technology to escape, but this time, she hadn't even noticed she was surrounded. Clearly, Tina had made thorough preparations. Surviving meant relying on that man now.

Otherwise, this might be where she perished.

The man on the phone was silent, likely weighing the value of rescuing her. After a long pause, he left her with two words, "Wait for me!" and hung up.

Dorothy Russell secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She put away her phone and looked out the window again. Tina and Jared were now standing at the villa entrance, not far from a truck loaded with explosives.

Her eyes narrowed-it seemed they were prepared to blow up the villa.

She had underestimated Tina. The reason she had chosen this location to hide was due to its geographical advantages that facilitated all her security measures. She could use high technology to conceal the place, creating an illusionary barrier. But Tina had finally found her.

Dorothy's gaze hardened as she took something from a drawer and held it in her hand. It was her last resort, should things spiral out of control.

As she contemplated this, the door was suddenly kicked open. Tina and Jared stood in the doorway, their expressions neutral as they looked at her.

Dorothy glanced at them and suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect you to be the first to find me. I thought your mother would be faster."

Tina's hands were in her pockets, her charming eyes slightly upturned. Perhaps because of her recent movement, a few strands of hair had fallen across her forehead, adding a seductive charm.

Her voice was soft, "Catching you doesn't require my mother's involvement."

Dorothy Russell laughed, "So, you think you and your people alone can capture me?"

"Why not try?" Tina also smiled, her expression far more radiant than Dorothy's.

It was even harder to guess what she was thinking!

Dorothy stared at her beautiful face, strikingly similar to Natalie's, especially Tina's confidence, which suddenly made her feel a bit uneasy.

After a moment, she looked up, still smiling, "I believe in your capabilities, but before you try to catch me, why not have a chat? We might not get another chance after today, my dear nephew, and your wife." She needed to buy time now, waiting for that person to arrive.

Given her current situation, relying solely on the item in her hand might not get her out.

Hearing this, Tina and Jared both laughed.

Tina even walked up to Dorothy, pulled out the chair beside her, and sat down directly.

She crossed her legs, looking regally at her, "I'm in a good mood today, so let's chat. Does my Uncle Joshua know you've been fooling around with other men behind his back?" Dorothy's expression stiffened, "You- you even know about that."

"There's a lot I know, like the fact that the Joshua currently imprisoned isn't the real Joshua. His name is Justin Allan, and the real Joshua died in a shooting years ago."

Tina looked up sharply, staring at Dorothy, "Justin Allan, codenamed Five Poisons, founded rst, ck, and GTO, and you, Five Poisons' shadow, Abigail Knox, your real name is Dorothy Russell! You and Five Poisons have been childhood sweethearts, and by now, you must be ninety years old, right?"

Dorothy's eyes widened in shock, staring at Tina as if seeing a ghost.

After a moment, she unconsciously stepped back, "How do you know this?"

"Don't rush! I'll explain it all to you slowly."

Tina leaned back in her chair, her slender, pale fingers playing with the Shadow Lotus Seal ring on her right hand, her voice calm, "You're involved in many dark industries, even kidnapping infants, geniuses in various scientific fields, especially in medicine, to conduct virus experiments or use these geniuses for your own experiments."

"st, st-1, virus experiments, and the medicine my mother sabotaged at the beginning, the ultimate results of these experiments are supposed to be immortality, and you, wanting to preserve eternal youth, have learned the hidden family's secret arts of face-swapping, living under various faces."

At this, Tina stopped speaking and looked at Dorothy, then, with a slight smile, she said, "Am I right?"

Dorothy swallowed hard, finding herself unable to speak.

At that moment, she felt that Tina was a devil.

A devil far more terrifying than herself!

Dorothy's expression satisfied Tina, who continued, "You've invested a lot of money, costing countless lives, yet you find that the results of your research never satisfy you, like your st-1, which is indeed impressive, capable of rapidly reorganizing human organs, but it's only limited to that, unable to achieve immortality or even extend life beyond three years."

"So, you thought of sacrificing Five Poisons, because he is using Jared's uncle's identity, you were certain, even if Joshua committed unforgivable acts, Jared would protect him, and your moles in the X Bureau could keep supplying Five Poisons with your experimental results, hoping that if the experiment succeeded, then Five Poisons would break out of prison with his capabilities; unfortunately, he will never come out again."
