“There are... many pictures ofand my boyfriend, and | don’t want to show them.” Sophia kept her head down, tears welling up in her eyes.

Just call the maid if you need anything.” Sophia looked up and saw the door shut in dismay. He is gone. | can’t believe he is gone. At the thought of that, she felt suffocated, wondering why he would forget about her. What happened to him after he returned to his family? What has he been through that traumatized him so much that he would forget a memory? What kind of suffering did he go through? The thought of that left Sophia with a sharp sting in her heart.
Meanwhile, there were two more men who wanted to know about Sophia‘s confusion more than anybody else- Elliot and Richard—as they had started to make their move. In the meantime, Richard had brought along a lot of military gear, including eavesdropping devices that he could use wherever he went. After all, he had a set of extraordinary skills that allowed him to sneak into any place without being noticed. In fact, even Johnny's lab, which was heavily guarded, didn‘t prove to be enough to stop Richard, who was able to infiltrate the place stealthily. At that moment, Richard was in the room with Elliot as they appeared to be standing in front of the computer.
With a pair of firm eyes that appeared on his face, Richard had been sitting there the whole day because he didn‘t want to miss any single piece of information that could prove useful. Having planted his eavesdropping devices all over the place, he reckoned nothing should escape his ear, including the maids’ murmurs. Soon, he squinted the moment he heard a lady‘s voice in his earpiece.
“Mom, is Dad back? | have something important to ask him.” Richard immediately tuned into the source of the voice, realizing it was coming from Johnny's house. Therefore, he squinted and carefully listened in on their conversation.

You're going to becthe prettiest bride ever.” “Mom, do you know why Artie is treating everyone else so coldly? I'm about to be his wife, but he treatsso indifferently. He won't even hold my hand. What's wrong with him?” “Con, silly girl. As soon as he marries you, I'm sure he will be much closer to you than he is now. Thus, all we have to do now is make sure the wedding goes on successfully.” “B-But... Sophia is here. She got injured at the turf club today, but Artie carried her in his arms right in front oflike | didn‘t exist. Do you know how mad | was to see that? | thought he would treat everybody coldly, but it looked like that was not the case with Sophia. Mom, it seems that he hasn‘t completely forgotten about her. He still loves Sophia.” “What? No way. | thought he forgot about that lady a long tago?” Vera responded in a surprised manner.
“Exactly. That's why | wanted to ask Dad how I could make Artie forget about Sophia. | don’t want him to be thinking about Sophia after we get married.” On the other hand, Richard knitted his eyebrows when he heard that through his eavesdropping device. Well, it appears that | just found something useful. So, it was Johnny who did something to Arthur's memory, which he erased with ssort of biotechnology. The drug’s side effect is exactly the reason that explains why Arthur treats everybody so coldly.
“Elliot, Johnny did something to Artie‘’s memory. He erased his memory about a girl for the sake of his daughter's happiness. Now, Artie is suffering from neurological damage, which explains his indifferent and temperamental attitude.” “Johnny is controlling Artie to make him marry his daughter against his will. If this goes on, Artie will end up as one of his guinea pigs and pawns.
This man must not be allowed to do any more harm to the Weiss Family. We must expose him!” Elliot could no longer hide his agitated emotions.
“When Artie lost his mother, he was so hurt and devastated that he decided to dedicate his life to biological studies so that his people wouldn‘t have to suffer from the sdisease any longer. However, he didn’t know that Johnny would use his life‘s work against him and make him a part of his experiment. | wish he‘d seen that coming.” Richard finished his words and looked at Elliot. “What do we do now? Should we tell Artie about it?”
