Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 731: Jennie is Poisoned, Who Did It?



With his scream, by the time Tina and the others reacted, Hugo had already reached the door. The three exchanged glances, chasing after his steps, and caught up with him as he dashed towards the garage, pulling him back. "Take our car, where are you headed?!"

"To the hospital! Hurry, to Maria Medical Center!"

He roared, his fingers trembling. He looked like a child who had lost his beloved toy, his eyes red and swollen. It was only now that Tina noticed, after not seeing him for just a few days, that Hugo's temples had sprouted a few strands of white hair. Her eyes paused slightly, thinking of the mysteriously missing Jennie, and suddenly understanding something. Her expression turned cold as she said to Hayden, "Drive faster!"

Jared immediately took out his phone and called Nathan, "Tell the brothers closest to Maria Medical Center to hurry over and look for a patient named Jennie Reed! Fast!"

They managed to cut the usual half-hour journey in half!

Upon arriving at the hospital and entering the lobby, Nathan was already there waiting. Hugo, without needing his guidance, pressed the elevator button and headed straight for the ward. "What's the situation?"

Tina and Jared stayed close by. Jared turned to Nathan and asked in a lowered voice. Nathan thought of the situation in the ward and shook his head, "I don't know when she was admitted, but I've already sent someone to check. However, the toxins in her body, I guess you'll have to figure something out, ma'am."

The elevator was small, and Nathan's voice wasn't intentionally lowered. Tina heard everything and turned to look at Hugo. She thought about it, but the questions she had on the tip of her tongue remained unasked. Jennie's ward was already guarded by their own people, but even so, Hugo rushed into the ward and saw Jennie lying there peacefully.

A trace of relief appeared on his distressed face. He tightly held Jennie's hand, tears rolling uncontrollably. On the bed, Jennie's face was pale, her lips devoid of any color, and her usually gentle eyes were now tightly shut, as if enduring great pain, her eyeballs moving but unable to wake up.

Tina's expression darkened, and she quickly stepped forward, "Let me handle this."

With a look, Jared and Hayden helped separate Hugo and Jennie. Tina's slender fingers touched Jennie's pulse, and the longer it took, the more grim her expression became.

"Tina, how is Jennie?"

Hugo sensed something was wrong, but still clung to a sliver of hope. Tina's expression was cold and severe as she asked, "Jennie is poisoned, why didn't you tell me?! Who has been looking for you?"

She was truly angry! It was unimaginable that if she hadn't come today, Jennie might have been dragged to her death!

Jared glanced at Hugo after Tina spoke, noting his suddenly ashen face, "Is Jennie's poisoning severe?"

Tina clenched her teeth, "Not just severe. If I had come a day later, the Reed family would be preparing a funeral tomorrow!"

"How could this happen?"

Hugo's shoulders slumped, he muttered unconsciously, "How could this happen? They clearly said before, they clearly said they would spare Jennie."

"Uncle Reed, what exactly happened?"

Hayden didn't understand; he had Serena, such a formidable daughter. What couldn't be discussed, why had it come to this?

Jared was also confused, standing beside Tina. If they hadn't confirmed this man hadn't disguised himself, they might have almost believed this despondent, weak Hugo was someone else in disguise.

"I had no choice."

Hugo covered his face with his hands, large teardrops seeping through his fingers, "They, they said if I told Tina about Jennie's situation, they would immediately take her life."

Just a week ago, they suddenly came knocking. While Jennie was out shopping, they drugged her and took her to the hospital, then they called me. They warned that our villa was under surveillance with cameras and listening devices, and if I dared to call Tina or Qianqian, my mother's life would be in immediate danger at the hospital.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

His voice choked up: "I didn't dare make any rash moves. Those people, it seemed they knew everything, they were too arrogant. They told me Jennie's ward number, making me watch helplessly as she lay in the hospital bed, unable to do anything. I really didn't know what to do!"

Hugo had always known that Tina was no ordinary woman.

Like her mother, she was not someone who could be judged by common standards.

Yet, even so.

Facing such an elusive and shadow-like organization that seemed to have always been lurking around them, he still felt instinctively that even Tina might not be able to oppose these people.

Especially since they were using Jennie to threaten him.

Hugo was completely panicked, unable to think clearly, only able to follow their instructions.

Tina took a deep breath and continued to ask, "What do they want you to do?"

"I don't even know what their motive is," Hugo shook his head, "Their only instructions were to make Kylie Lambert the spokesperson for Reed Group's perfume line and then just to obey their commands. Also, yesterday, they asked me to break the contract with Juliet."

He scrolled through his emails and handed them to Tina.

He finally felt a sense of relief, "I've been delaying, not really signing anything. Tina, is there still hope for your mother?"

Tina reassured, "Don't worry, with me here, I'll definitely be able to save Jennie."

Hayden, having listened to the entire story, exclaimed, "What do these people behind the scenes really want? Just to promote a female star, is it worth making such a big fuss?"

Nathan was also puzzled, "Who exactly is Kylie Lambert?"

Jared glanced at the information in the email, scoffed, and said, "Nathan, go check it out. Find out everything about Kylie Lambert."

"We'll see if she has what it takes to stir these waters!"

Hartwood, at a certain villa.

This was the first time in two days that Dorothy Russell had been disturbed by this woman in red.

If she hadn't known about her relationship with that man, she might have thought it was his wife catching them in the act.

"What do you really want to do?"

Five Poisons, dressed in a strappy nightgown, her pale, tender skin exposed to the air, lazily leaned on the red velvet sofa, her stunning appearance even more captivating.

The woman in red raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of interest shifting from her to the impeccably dressed, solemnly seated man, "Miss Russell, you indeed know how to take care of yourself, you are several years older than me but look so young."

"Even my high and mighty nephew has fallen under your spell, quite impressive indeed."

Dorothy Russell didn't seem to mind the comment about her age, smiling charmingly, "Thanks for the compliment, Miss Lambert. You're not far behind. To those unaware, you could pass as Luke's sister."

She hadn't expected it.

Her casual bedfellow had such a status.

The head of the hidden Langdon family.

Luke Langdon, the second son of the Langdon family!

She had always known he was related to the Langdon family but never knew his name, let alone that he was the head of the hidden family.
