Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Ella Bailey glanced at him sideways, "I was talking to my dad, what are you butting in for?!"

Mr. Bailey slammed the table, "Ella! You are getting more and more unruly. Luke is your husband, a member of our family. Look at your attitude!"

"I asked you to handle things for the good of our family! Look at you, disrespecting your elders, what nonsense have you learned all day out there! Such a simple task and you can't even manage it-I'm embarrassed to even tell others you're my daughter!"

Kelly twirled her hair around her finger and swayed up to Mr. Bailey to soothe him, "Dad, calm down."

As she spoke, she turned to Ella Bailey, "Ella, you're really out of line. Dad is just looking out for you. He just wanted to check on your progress, especially since you've been dealing with that minor character Elsa for so long."

She lowered her gaze and giggled suggestively, "You always have plenty of tricks up your sleeve when dealing with me and mom. How come none of them work outside? Ella, don't tell me you feel pity for Elsa and that's why you're dragging your feet on resolving the matter." "Shut up!"

Ella Bailey's eyes hardened, "I was talking to Dad. What right do you, a bastard, have to speak? In the Bailey family's main hall, only the legitimate family members have always been allowed entry. Kelly, as a woman who can't even be listed in the Bailey family tree, who gave you the face to stand here and argue with me?!"

"You!"

Kelly's face turned a livid purple, "Dad, look at her. How can she speak to me like that? I-I'm just trying to help her. The deadline we promised the Langdon family is almost here. If we don't get the formula soon, we won't be able to deliver. The Langdon family is too powerful for us Baileys to contend with."

Her face bore an eight-point resemblance to her mother's.

Especially the pretentious, affected mannerisms she had fully adopted from that woman.

Ella Bailey felt nauseous looking at her, and Luke Gill beside her couldn't help frowning.

Mr. Bailey, having loved that woman for over a decade, now looked severely grim as Ella Bailey scolded their daughter, "Ella, kneel down!"

Ella Bailey clenched her fists, her eyes fierce, "What if I refuse?!"

Mr. Bailey's aged, murky eyes resembled a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, "Refuse? Today, I will make sure you kneel!"

He had indeed been too lenient with Ella Bailey recently!

This daughter, like her mother, was a tough nut to crack!

Her mother had also been like this, using her status as a daughter of the Farrell family to endlessly torment his Vivienne.

His slight affection for her had been completely worn away by her!

Now, Ella dared to emulate her mother's rebellious ways from those years!

Such audacity!

As his words fell, two bodyguards stationed in the hall responded sharply and charged directly at Ella Bailey!

Woods, standing by, would not let them approach her, facing two against one, he firmly kept them at bay from Ella Bailey.

Kelly knelt in front of Mr. Bailey, one eye stealthily watching Ella Bailey, her eyes shimmering with malicious satisfaction making Ella Bailey itch to scratch her face.

Seemingly dissatisfied that Ella Bailey was under Woods' protection, Kelly, as if frightened by Ella Bailey's gaze, hid in Mr. Bailey's arms, "Dad, Ella's bodyguard is really strong, he won't come directly at me, will he?" "He dares!"

Mr. Bailey was nearly driven to his death by his unruly daughter!

He glared coldly at Woods, his voice dark, "Woods, don't forget who you work for. I hired you to protect her, not to join her in defying me."

Woods bowed his head, a flicker of light passing through his eyes, and murmured, "I have never forgotten that you raised me, sir. But since you asked me to protect the young lady, I must fulfill my duty. All I know is my duty is to protect her. If someone bullies her, I will ensure her safety."

"You!"

Mr. Bailey's face filled with rage, and he was about to explode, but Luke Gill, who had been standing quietly to the side, glanced at Kelly and stopped the old man, "Dad, Ella also speaks without thinking. You know her temperament well. She is your only legitimate child listed in the family records. Let's face it, the Bailey family will rely on her to carry on your legacy one day."

Luke Gill was highly favored by Mr. Bailey.

Since Mr. Bailey had no sons, he treated Luke Gill like his own godson.

With Luke's way with words, the rage that had previously consumed Mr. Bailey, intent on punishing Ella Bailey, finally eased, "Both of you, stop."

How could this be? She had barely...

Kelly, unwilling to give up, glared fiercely at Luke Gill.

What was so good about that shrew Ella Bailey?

Why did everyone side with her?

Wasn't it said that Luke Gill didn't even like Ella Bailey? Why was he defending her today?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Luke Gill ignored her glare and chuckled, "I think Ella's temperament is exactly like yours. Both are stubbornly upright. They say a starving camel is bigger than a horse. Ella is, after all, the only survivor of the hidden Dyer family. Give her some time, and I believe she will make it."

He indeed did not like Ella Bailey.

But officially, this woman was still his wife.

Making her kneel because of an illegitimate daughter would not only be a blow to Ella Bailey's face but his as well!

How could he tolerate this?!

Watching the two bodyguards who had been advancing retreat, Ella Bailey unexpectedly glanced at Luke Gill. Her mouth moved, but she ended up not saying thank you.

It wasn't that she felt awkward, but rather that it was not the right place.

Kelly would not let it go so easily. Clinging to Mr. Bailey's leg, she spoke in a sweet voice, "Luke is being too hard on sister. The Dyer family is such a small clan, who knows if their formula is real or fake. In my view, we might as well try another approach. I heard that the future heir of the Langdon family is still single, dad, your daughter, is willing to relieve your worries."

"Kelly, what are you daydreaming about?!"

Ella Bailey knew this woman was shameless, but she didn't expect her to be this shameless, "Do you think the heir of the Langdon family is a trash can? Accepting just anyone?"

In a place out of sight, Kelly's resentful gaze lingered on Ella Bailey for a second.

Then, feigning weakness, she rested her head on Mr. Bailey's thigh, "Dad, look. I'm also trying to relieve her burden. How can she speak to me like this?"
