Chapter 772
Night of Destiny
âReally?â Emilyâs eyes were filled with joy when she heard the news. âMom, is he really coming back
soon?â
âHeâs coming back to inherit the head of the Weiss Family. By then, heâll have to pick a woman
amongst Florâs most affluent families to become his wife. Do you think you can do it, Emily?â
âNot at all, Mom. The girl Artie likes isnât from any of our families; sheâs just some average girl named
Sophia Goodwin. Mom, what should I do?â Anxious, Emilyâs eyes turned redârimmed from oncoming
tears. âIâve 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.â
At that, Emily threw herself into her motherâs arms, crying anxiously while unwilling to resign to her fate.
A thought hit Vera as she patted her daughterâs back, and she soothed Emily by saying, âDonât worry.
You will become Mrs. Weiss. Iâm sure you will.â
Veraâs confidence surprised Emily as she had none herself. Arthur was initially supposed to return with
them, but he ended up going back on Marthâs 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 didnât seem at all anxious. It was like she approved of Arthur and Sophiaâs
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 husbandâs coat from him and handed it to their maid for dryâcleaning 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 worldârenowned 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.
âJohnny, I have something I need to talk to you about,â said Vera while bringing her husbandâs tea.
âWhat is it? Has Emily thrown another tantrum again?â
However, Vera remained evasive. âLetâs talk in your study.â
With that, Johnny followed his dear wife into the study, and after closing the door, Vera asked, âAre
there any updates on the research findings you told me the other time?â
âWeâve succeeded.â
âReally? Perfect, just in time for the plan.â Vera grinned.
Johnny was about to drink his tea when he paused midâair. He looked at his wife with surprise as he
noticed the ambitious gleam in Veraâs eyes.
âItâs about time our family came into our own. Youâve dedicated your lifeâs work to the Weiss Family;
you deserve more than this, and our Emily shall become the matriarch of the Weiss Family,â she said.
âNaturally, Emily is worthy enough for this.â Johnny, too, had utter confidence in his daughter.
âHowever, 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 Emilyâs future. Johnny, your research
can change that.â
Veraâs words rendered Johnny reeling for a good few seconds. âYou want me to use the serum on
Young Master Weiss?â
âWhy 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?â
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 humanâs 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 familyâs most honorable young master.
