“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.
