All Chapters of Lost And Found Hearts: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chapter Seventy OneThe only sound in Nolan's office is the gentle hum of city life from beyond its windows. Afternoon light streams in, casting a soft glow in the room and lighting up the papers scattered over his desk, documents outlining his business, plans for Simeon's future, and now, a growing mound of evidence against Leo. He has sat and spent an untold number of hours in this space, running boardroom deals and waging corporate battles, but nothing quite readies him for the deeply personal battle ahead.When Elena enters the room, she is an anchor, holding him with his resolve to confront the past and fight for justice. She moves with quiet confidence-the type he has come to depend on-and he knows how much her support has come to mean for him."Thanks for making time," Nolan says, gesturing to the seat across from him.Elena gives him a small, reassuring smile. "Of course. I think it's time we really dig into this, don't you?" She opens a thick file she's brought along, replete

Chapter Seventy ThreeSimeon takes a big breath as he steps out of his room. His heart is pounding with a mix of excitement and fear. He never thought he would be this close to his father, Leo, but he knew it was all for a purpose. Every step he made was calculated; every smile he gave was carefully crafted. Leo and his mother, Marie, feel finally that he's warming up with his father, letting go of the distance he's always kept. They sound so pleased to see the change in him, so needy for him to be "Leo's son." But only Simeon knows the truth.He feels like he's on thin ice inside. He needs proof-something that would help Nolan bring Leo down. He needs to hear Leo incriminate himself with some sentence that shows his manipulative nature, especially where Nolan is concerned. But Leo is smooth, sly as a fox. Simeon knew it was never going to be easy to get him to slip up.Coming down the stairs, he sees Leo in the study, bending over some papers. His heart quickens. Perhaps today will b

Chapter Seventy-FiveSimeon stands in the silent room, his heart racing as he watches Rita disappear. She didn't see him send the recording, but he knows she suspects. He has gained a little time with his promise to take her to the amusement park, but he can tell it is not enough. Rita isn't the kind to let things go, and her curiosity is one of those currents he has no easy way to dam. It is as if the weight of her lingering gaze, knowing all she does about him, hangs still in the air around him.The moment she is out of sight, Simeon reaches into his pocket, pulling his phone out to check if the message went through. Relief washes over him as he sees the small "Delivered" mark next to Nolan's name. At least he has managed to send the recording. But now he has another problem on hand: Rita. He knew she would be back, this time wanting answers.Sure enough, soon Rita reappears, leaning casually against the wall as if she has been waiting for him. Her eyes are bright, shining with curi

Chapter Seventy SevenNolan sits at his kitchen table in the early morning sunlight streaming through the window. It shines down upon the room as Nolan takes a slow sip of his coffee, trying to make heads and tails of the case he and Elena have built so far against Simeon's father. His mind keeps drifting back to last night. After they had worked late, Elena had stayed over, and he could still feel the serenity that she had let into his house, even in the quiet of the morning.It's the sound of footsteps that pulls him from his reverie. He looks up to find Elena entering the kitchen with her notebook in her hand and that intent looks across her face, a soft smile playing on her lips.Morning," she says, laying her notebook down on the table. "I thought I'd go over everything again before we make our next moves. There's so much to sort through."Nolan nods, grateful for her resolve. "We need to be ready. They'll do everything they can to throw us off course.Elena opens her notebook, l

Chapter Seventy NineLeo sat in the living room, enjoying a rare evening with his family. Marie nuzzled next to him, a smile soft on her face. Opposite them, Simeon slouched back in his chair, chatting with his cousin Rita. The atmosphere was relaxed, the comfort of family time thick in the air. That peace, however, was cut when the doorbell rang, and one of the servants stepped into the room, tension etched across his face."Sir, there is somebody at the door"e say it's urgent," says the servant, staring into his master's eyes, oblivious to a sense of hesitation.Leo frowns, irked by the sudden intrusion into his quarters. Who could be brazen enough to disturb him at this time of day? He grumbles as he rises, grumbling silently about how people respect nobody these days. But coming to the door, he finds in formal suit, holding a sealed envelope in his hand and looking very serious."Mr. Leo?" the man asks firmly.Leo narrows his eyes and nods. "Yes?"The man hands him the envelope, h
