Chapter 1016 âMel wouldnât joke about this.â
âDaddy has hired a hypnotherapist for Mommy. She has forgotten what happened four years ago. So far, there are no side effects from the biochip either.â Melody said softly, âSo, we shouldnât appear in front of her so frequently. Or else, she might regain her memories.â
Harold frowned.
âThe side effect from the biochip has subsided , but she tried to slap me earlierâ¦â
However, when George spoke, it interrupted his thoughts.
âMel, what did Daddy actually say?â George pursed his lips. âIâll go ask him personally.â
Melody grabbed his arms. âGeorge, donât. I think heâs in a bad mood nowâ¦â
âMommy was right in front of him, but he couldnât get reacquainted with her as his wife. Daddy must be sadder than any of usâ¦.
Alden narrowed his eyes. He signaled the bodyguard behind him. âGo and find out who is the womanâs older sibling, and what project are they working on?â
The bodyguard instantly turned around and carried out the order.
In less than ten minutes, he returned and said, âSir, the womanâs older sibling is her adoptive elder sister, Adeena Willis. She cooperated with Sea City in dealing with a real estate projectâ¦â âSo, I guess sheâs really our mommy,â Harold said in a daze.
An average family would not be qualified to cooperate with Winters Corporation on real estate projects.
Other than that reason, Harold could not think of any other one.
Melody looked at her brothers. âDaddy will have a way to bring Mommy back. Let Daddy handle this, alright?â Alden nodded. âOkay, weâll wait for Daddy to bring her back, then.â
Melody only then let out a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that her three brothers would ruin Dukeâs plan. Ruthâs gown was stained with red wine, and it was wrinkled after she tried to wash it away.
She was about to head back to the banquet hall, but she changed her mind when she saw how elegant and noble those people were. She could only lift her skirt and leave, feeling regretful.
Just as she reached the entrance and waited for her ride, she heard someoneâs footsteps approaching her.
âMs. Willis!â
She turned around and saw a young man in an acidâblue suit hurrying over.
The light at the entrance of the banquet hall was dimly lit as it shone behind the man. He was tall and attractive, like a prince coming out of a painting.
Ruth was stunned and found herself unable to come back to her senses immediately. She only came back to her senses when the man stopped in front of her.
She instantly looked down at her wrinkled skirt. She had not been able to wash off the red wine stains on the gown completely. A sense of inferiority and shame, which she had never felt before, rose from her heart. As the daughter of the Willis family, she was very powerful in Cloud City. She had never felt so inferior before.
But at the moment, when this man suddenly appeared in front of her, she suddenly felt agitated. âWhy didnât I change to another gown? I wouldnât have looked like such a mess.â
âAre you Ms. Willis?â
Daniel looked at the woman in front of him, wondering why Harold had insisted on him delivering the gown in person.
When he saw her nodding, he lifted the gift box in his hand and handed it over. âThis is a new gown for you. You can put it on and stay at the banquet.â
Ruth was stunned. âHeâs giving me a gown?â
