“You come back here this instant, Sophia!” Emma chased after her, but she could only watch as the latter got into the car and left. The couple exchanged a glance at that, livid with rage.

“That man has gotten our daughter for good,” said Emma fumingly, but she then recalled how good–looking Arthur was. That man looked like he could be on the front cover of The Sexiest Man Alive, for she had never seen a hotter man than him.

They wouldn‘t have reacted like this if he was from an honest background. However, not only was this man mysterious and unfathomable, he was filthy rich and crazy powerful. Evidently, he was a guy who couldn‘t be messed with.

While Sophia stopped at a red light, she made a call to Arthur.

“Hey,” His deep, melodious voice came from the other end of the line.

“Artie, my parents have found out about our relationship. I‘m coming back now. We might have to move out of my house,” said Sophia. Her parents would definitely try to catch them at her place.

“In that case, I can sit down and talk to your parents. Running away isn‘t going to solve anything, Sophia.”

“No way. You have no idea how scary my mom and dad looked when they talked about you. They seriously have a huge problem with you.” Sophia didn‘t want him to be berated as well.

“Trust me, Sophia, I can persuade them into letting us date.” Arthur tried to comfort her.

However, Sophia turned apprehensive. “No, let them calm down first!”

“We‘ll talk after you come back. You‘re on the road now, so you shouldn‘t get too emotional. I‘ll be waiting for you at home,” he replied while trying to soothe her.

At that, Sophia could only calm down and drive home, but it didn‘t stop her from speeding a little. At last, after parking her car, she dashed right home and threw herself into the man‘s arms as soon as she entered the door, refusing to let go.

“I don‘t want us to separate, Arthur. I don‘t want to lose you. I want us to be together for the rest of our lives,” Sophia cried out emotionally and greedily.

Arthur secured her in his arms and kissed her hair as he cooed, “You won‘t lose me. You‘ll never have to worry about losing me.”

Arthur feared not of the future. What man would he be if he couldn‘t even protect the woman he loved?

As such, he had to love and protect the one his heart had dead set on until the end.

Meanwhile, there was a mysterious manor in the heart of Flor, and in that manor lived a mysterious and complex family.

The family‘s lineage could be traced back to two hundred years ago. They were as wealthy as a nation; their business spanned nearly everything; and they possessed ancillary properties where most of the people who lived there served the family.

Inside a lavish mansion, a young woman sat restlessly on the couch. She paced back and forth, evidently uneasy.

A woman with her hair tied elegantly into a bun approached the young woman and held her hand. “Relax, Emily. I’ve asked around, and Young Master Weiss will return soon.”

“Really?” Emily‘s eyes were filled with joy when she heard the news. “Mom, is he really coming back soon?”

“He‘s coming back to inherit the head of the Weiss Family. By then, he‘ll have to pick a woman amongst Flor‘s most affluent families to become his wife. Do you think you can do it, Emily?”

“Not at all, Mom. The girl Artie likes isn‘t from any of our families; she‘s just some average girl named Sophia Goodwin. Mom, what should I do?” Anxious, Emily‘s eyes turned red–rimmed from oncoming tears. “I‘ve liked him ever since I was little. My dream has always been marrying him and becoming the matriarch of the Weiss Family. But now, my dream is about to be crushed.”

At that, Emily threw herself into her mother‘s arms, crying anxiously while unwilling to resign to her fate.

A thought hit Vera as she patted her daughter‘s back, and she soothed Emily by saying, “Don‘t worry. You will become Mrs. Weiss. I‘m sure you will.”

Vera‘s confidence surprised Emily as she had none herself. Arthur was initially supposed to return with them, but he ended up going back on Marth‘s wish and stayed there because of Sophia.

Emily, on the other hand, visited Martha a few times to see what the elderly woman thought of this, only to discover that she didn‘t seem at all anxious. It was like she approved of Arthur and Sophia‘s romance. This would mean Martha would eventually give in if Arthur insisted on marrying the woman.

Sometime later in the day, a black SUV pulled in, and Vera went out to welcome her husband home. Meanwhile, the man approached her with a briefcase in his hand, looking somewhat tired. Vera thoughtfully took her husband‘s coat from him and handed it to their maid for dry–cleaning when she smelled the chemical odor on him.

Johnny Jennings worked as a bio researcher for the Weiss Family and was currently assigned to a highly classified project. The man was already a world–renowned scientist, and he held a very high standing with the Weiss Family; even Martha trusted him very much.

Emily was his only child, and at the same time, the likeliest candidate to become the future Mrs. Weiss out of the other young women Martha had chosen for Arthur.

“Johnny, I have something I need to talk to you about,” said Vera while bringing her husband‘s tea.

“What is it? Has Emily thrown another tantrum again?”

However, Vera remained evasive. “Let‘s talk in your study.”

With that, Johnny followed his dear wife into the study, and after closing the door, Vera asked, “Are there any updates on the research findings you told me the other time?”

“We‘ve succeeded.”

“Really? Perfect, just in time for the plan.” Vera grinned.

Johnny was about to drink his tea when he paused mid–air. He looked at his wife with surprise as he noticed the ambitious gleam in Vera‘s eyes.

“It‘s about time our family came into our own. You‘ve dedicated your life‘s work to the Weiss Family; you deserve more than this, and our Emily shall become the matriarch of the Weiss Family,” she said.

“Naturally, Emily is worthy enough for this.” Johnny, too, had utter confidence in his daughter.

“However, do you know that Young Master Weiss decided not to return to Flor because of a girl? One that he wants to marry, and this girl poses a massive threat to Emily‘s future. Johnny, your research can change that.”

Vera‘s words rendered Johnny reeling for a good few seconds. “You want me to use the serum on Young Master Weiss?”

“Why not? Inject the serum into his system when he least expects it, then wipe off all his memories and knowledge of that young woman. Only then will Emily be able to marry Arthur. Are you willing to see your daughter end up being a nobody, Johnny?”

Johnny fell into deep thought. The result of this research of his was indeed extraordinary. After all, it was a kind of serum that used biotechnology to control human behavior. It could remove and even wipe away specific memories from the human brain for good.

With just a computer, they could wipe out specific memories from a human‘s central and peripheral nervous system, ultimately achieving control.

This was supposed to be for the military or certain special behaviors. But now, his wife wanted him to use the inchoate finding on the Weiss family‘s most honorable young master.

He was truly at a crossroads. “I‘m not absolutely certain it will work on Young Master Weiss, though.”

“You have to do it no matter how much confidence you have in this serum. Young Master Weiss will be returning to Flor real soon, and I‘m just asking you to remove that girl from his memory. As for the other girls in Flor‘s affluent families, they have nothing on Emily.”

Vera continued, “That girl is just a nobody. Wiping it away from Young Master Weiss‘ memories won‘t cause any significant consequences. Besides, Old Madam Weiss also hopes that he‘ll marry our daughter.”

After a ponder, Johnny nodded in agreement. Their daughter‘s happiness was the most important thing, after all.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Sophia agreed with Arthur‘s suggestion after his successful reassuring. Running away really wasn‘t going to solve the problem, and she should face it instead.

Thus, she called her mother and said that she and Arthur would be going over later that night to talk this over.
