Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 534: Max is Released on Bail

Grandma Lyon's withered hand was trampled underfoot by her own son and daughter-in-law, tossed back and

forth as if in a gof kickball. She was dragged from her wheelchair to the floor by Leah, like a dying,

desiccated old dog, her high heels jabbing at her.

Tina, "..."

Jere), TT

Grandma Lyon's descendants-truly-were filial!

"You old hag, I've tolerated you for a long time. My Oliver did the most work, and yet he ended up with nothing.

You favor your daughter to such an extent, and now you still try to deceive us with a bit of equity to buy our

favor, bah!" Sonia wasn't having an easy teither. Megan had always been the one most covetous of the

Hancock family's assets, and now everything had gone to Sonia, which only unbalanced her more.

The more she thought about her efforts and her son's, the angrier she got, and her attacks becincreasingly

harsher.

"You little vixen, | knew you weren't so kind as to offer your shares genuinely. You're trying to deceive us, but you

don't even have the ability. If you don't cough up the Hancock family's funds today, | will kill you!" Once the

human heart gets mixed with profit, it can no longer be called a heart.

Tina was accustomed to the sight of families scheming over minor inheritances, as had been the case with the

Reed family and later the Farrell family.

For the sake of so-called money, they would forsake principles and disregard kinship.

The Lyon family was no different, now fighting over eight hundred billion dollars, kicking their elderly mother's

hand around like trash.

Sharp high heels and hands full of rings had becweapons in the struggle for wealth.

Such families, even without the eight hundred billion, would soon becvictims of their own greed.

Jared draped his coat over Tina's shoulders, embraced her, and they left the Lyon family.

The Lyon family's retribution was still to come.

After leaving the Lyon family, Tina received a text from Cole.

"Serena, Max has been released on bail."

Tina put away her phone. "Grandma Lyon still has that kind of pull?"

Jared scoffed, "The Lyon family certainly doesn't."

The Lyon family still relied on the Hancock family to expand their business. Now that Max had gotten into such

trouble, it would be good enough if the Lyon family could save themselves, let alone bail Max out. What a joke.

Tina also curved her lips in a smile, her eyes brimming with amusement. She nodded, neither approving nor

otherwise, "He must have sskills to have been chosen by my mother."

At that moment, Max, now in fresh clothes and clean, stepped into his home.

Grace was terrified and rushed towards her father, "Dad, you're finally back, you scaredto death, | thought

you weren't coming back."

Max ruffled his daughter's hair, "Didn't | tell you? | would be inside for a while but would cout soon. With my

daughter here, how could anything happen?"

"Yep, my dad's the best." Grace pulled Max to sit on the sofa. "Dad, | did everything you toldto. How did you

know the Lyon family would cto us for a contract?"

Grace might not be the brightest, only wanting to be the idol of the wealthy boys in Clearwater, a star in the

limelight, but she wasn't foolish-how else could she have confused and deeply devoted those rich boys?

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on

the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! Those words from Sonia were just

her leftovers.

How could she not see that the contract was Sonia's attempt to monopolize the Hancock family's business?

They wanted to reap where they hadn't sown. Wishful thinking.

But Max had instructed before the cruise banquet, if the Hancock family ran into trouble, let the Lyon family take

advantage if they wanted to-Grace just had to accept everything handed to her.

So when Sonia approached her, Grace only pretended to panic and signed the contract under her guidance. Max

chuckled, "The Lyon family, those greedy dogs, will never pass up a chance to gnaw on a bone, but they should

really check if their teeth are up to it. Grace, once dad swallows up the Lyon family's business, I'll make contact

with the Farrell family to ensure you can smoothly marry that Jared, alright?" Grace nestled against Max's

shoulder, "I knew dad always has my best interest at heart; I'll always listen to you and won't make foolish

mistakes anymore."

"Dad only has one daughter, and | absolutely won't let you suffer. Remember, don't make decisions on your own.

Marrying Jared won't be so easy; you must strategize carefully." Max's gaze grew deeper, his murky eyes held a

bizarre light, pondering something unknown. Grace was lost in her own blissful blueprint, completely unaware of

Max's abnormality. The news of Max's exoneration spread rapidly, and he held a press conference that very day

to clarify the allegations. "I was indeed approached by the authorities for a discussion, not because Hancock

Group or | did anything illegal, but because scompetitors, desperate to take down Hancock Group, framed
