Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 967: Amber Reed Is Still Alive Out of nowhere, a disheveled figure emerged, lunging at the two people in the center with a bloodstained knife in hand. Her voice was filled with hatred as she shrieked, "Tina, Jared, both of you must die!" She remembered clearly-it was Jared's men who had thrown her onto that ship years ago. Onboard, they had broken her limbs. Later, to force her into submission, they severed her tendons.

Killing these two had been her sole purpose in life ever since.

Hearing the voice, Tina barely raised her eyes. Before the knife could even graze her, she kicked the woman, sending her flying five meters away.

The woman crumpled to the ground, coughing up blood, yet she refused to give up. She gripped the knife tightly and, summoning all her strength, lunged at Tina again when she was only a step away.

But before the blade could reach its target, Tina caught her hand effortlessly. Blood from the knife dripped onto Tina's clothes. The woman's eyes gleamed with malice.

Velma, standing nearby, caught sight of the red, mottled marks on the woman's exposed arm. Her face turned pale with fear. "Tina, get away from her! She has an infectious disease!" At the mention of "infectious disease," Jared's expression darkened. He immediately pulled Tina behind him, using his powers to fling the woman far away.

"Tina, take off your clothes right now!" The woman, dirt-covered and haggard, tried to crawl back, coughing up blood. But when she saw Jared treating Tina with such urgency, she let out a hoarse laugh.

"Justice! Finally, justice!" "Tina, you've always acted so high and mighty. Let's see how you live in your next life! The filthy diseases I've endured-you'll suffer them all, too!" Members of the Mountain Veil Order immediately restrained her, tying her up to await further orders from their young master.

The scar on the woman's face was unmistakable, and Velma gasped in shock. "Oh my God! You... you're Amber Reed?" The name, long forgotten, triggered an intense reaction in Amber. She glared at Velma with bloodshot eyes, her voice raspy like that of an elderly woman. "Don't callthat! I'm not Amber Reed!" Years of forced servitude, countless pregnancies terminated, and confinement to a damp, claustrophobic room-it had left her broken. She was beaten, drugged, and used repeatedly.

If not for someone finding her, she would've been long dead.

That person had given her hope, telling her to take the nLiliosa and go to the capital to find the Emerson family.

But that woman didn't last a month. She was brutally killed by a client with perverse tendencies. Before her death, she had revealed a secret-a shocking truth about Amber's real identity.

Meanwhile, Jared had ripped off Tina's bloodstained clothes, covering her with his own coat. His face was grim. Tina hesitated and called out softly, "Uncle, I..." "Don't speak," Jared interrupted. "Nathan is bringing the medical kit from the car." Tina fell silent.

Had her uncle forgotten? After years of working with poisons, she had developed immunity to toxins. Besides, she was a Spectre. She didn't need to go near Amber Reed to recognize the disease-it wouldn't affect her. "Tina, we're going to the hospital now!" Jared's hands trembled as he wiped every drop of blood from her skin with alcohol pads. Tina finally grabbed his hand, worried he would give himself a nervous breakdown.

"Uncle, I've studied poisons for years. This disease won't affect me." Jared froze for a moment but continued cleaning her skin. "No. We can't risk it. Even the slightest chance is unacceptable. We're going to the hospital now!" Tina sighed. "Uncle, trust me. This disease transmits through blood, but only through open wounds or broken skin. It won't infect intact skin." She rolled up her sleeves and pant legs, showing her smooth, unblemished skin. "Look, I don't have any wounds." Jared finally exhaled in relief, though his hands were still tense. Looking up at her, he asked, "Are you sure?" "Uncle," Tina said patiently, "don't forget-our bodies changed after we gained our abilities. External threats like this can't harm us unless they penetrate internally." Only then did Jared relax, though his earlier panic still lingered in his eyes. He had known Tina wouldn't put herself in danger, but in that moment, his mind had gone blank.

His only thought had been that nothing could happen to his Tina. Not even a one-in-a-million chance. After calming Jared, Tina turned her attention to Amber Reed.

If someone call this way seeking death, she had no reason not to grant their wish.

Amber Reed was tied near a car. The Mountain Veil Order members stepped aside respectfully as Tina approached. "Young Master," they greeted in unison.

Tina gestured for them to leave. She would handle Amber personally.

"Tina, in less than three months, your body will rot from the inside out..." Amber sneered, but before she could finish, Tina kicked her squarely in the chest.

"Was it Claudia who saved you?" Tina's voice was ice-cold.

Amber, wracked with pain and drenched in sweat, couldn't even form a response. Her mouth opened and closed soundlessly.

Tina's gaze sharpened. She had ways of making Amber talk. "Amber Reed... or should I call you Priya Emerson?"

Amber's eyes widened in shock, filled with hatred as she glared at Tina. "How do you know that?" Tina M smirked. Her voice was light but cutting. "Didn't anyone tell you? Liliosa wasn't your biological mother.

You're not related to her at all." Amber's entire body trembled, her eyes bloodshot as she struggled against her restraints. "Impossible!" she screamed.

"I'm not Amber Reed! I'm Priya Emerson, the sole heir of the Emerson family!" "Priya Emerson?" Tina's voice dripped with disdain. "You think you're worthy?" Her eyes narrowed as she delivered the killing blow. "The Emerson family's daughter died years ago-her kidneys were harvested, and she was left to die. Your real parents? Your mother was a human trafficker, and your father was a gambling addict." "I don't believe you!" Amber's voice cracked as she spiraled into madness.

Desperation shining in her eyes, she suddenly laughed at Tina. "You're just jealous of me, Tina! Jealous of my identity!" Tina raised an eyebrow, calmly pulling out her phone. She opened a file and held it up-a paternity test.

The names "Liliosa" and "Amber Reed" were listed clearly. The result? A zero percent match. Amber amber collapsed to the ground, her body trembling. How could this be? Her mind flashed back to the dying woman who had clung to her hand, whispering, "Priya... Priya..." She had believed it. She was Priya Emerson, the true heir of the Emerson family.

She had returned to reclaim everything that was rightfully hers.

But Tina's voice was as cold as death itself, delivering the final blow m "Liliosa? I sent her to you. Everything you believe is a lie. And your disease? I It doesn't affectat all."
