Chapter 776
Night of Destiny
âSure, Grandma.â Emily gladly accepted the offer.
âGrandma, I have to deal with some work first. Iâll join you guys for dinner later.â With that, Arthur
walked away.
Adoration oozed from Emilyâs gaze as she watched the tall, charming, retreating figure. I have to
become his wife! she swore.
âEmily, take a stroll in the garden with me, will you?â Martha asked.
âSure. Grandma, will Artie be leaving again now that heâs back?â Emily probed, to which Martha patted
her and soothed, âThereâs no need to worry, Emily. Artieâs back now, isnât he? You have to create your
own opportunities, you know.â
Emilyâs eyes lit up upon hearing so. It looks like Grandma still wants me to become Arthurâs wife. âI got
it, Grandma.â She nodded. âIâll definitely seize the opportunity.â
Martha nodded in response. At the end of the day, she was still inclined to have a young woman from
one of Florâs most affluent families marry her grandson. More than that, Emilyâs father was an
esteemed biologist in his field, and he had also given the Weiss Family tons of profit. It couldnât be any
better if Emily married Arthur.
Meanwhile, Arthurâs car was heading toward a large laboratory. He had come to take a look at the
institute of biology and hear about the latest research findings in the meantime.
Johnny came out of the lab as usual. However, he grew somewhat nervous as he approached the
conference room, for there was an additional item in his pocket todayâa microâtube of serum.
âDr. Jennings, Young Master Weiss is inside. Please come in!â
âAlright. Water for the both of us,â Johnny said to his assistant, who returned with two glasses of water
in no time. Johnny happened to be on the phone, and upon seeing his assistant, he ended the call and
said, âIâll take it from here. You can go back to your work.â
The assistant didnât put too much thought into it and handed Johnny the tray. As the assistant was
leaving, Johnny hurriedly spiked one of the glasses of water with the serum.
Following that, he entered the room with the tray to find Arthur sitting on the couch, reading an analysis
report.
âYoung Master Weiss, itâs been a while,â greeted Johnny while putting the spiked glass
of water in front of Arthur.
âIt has. Mr. Jennings. I heard you have cracked the engineering for the thing we discussed last time.
Congratulations on yet another masterpiece.â
âWe couldnât have done it without your support, Young Master. If the Weiss Family hadnât supported my
lab and me, I wouldnât be able to succeed,â Johnny thanked him sincerely.
Arthur smiled. âI need you just as much.â
âYes, itâs thanks to you that Iâm able to achieve all that I can today. A toast to you, Young Master
Weiss.â
Not the slightest bit suspicious, Arthur picked up the glass in front of him, cheered Johnny, and downed
the glass of water.
After drinking the water, a hint of nervousness and anxiety flashed across Johnnyâs eyes, and he
deliberately got up. âYoung Master Weiss, allow me to give you a copy of the report. One moment,
please.â
Arthur nodded in response. However, just as he picked up the file on the table to read it, he suddenly
blacked out and fell into a deep slumber with little warning.
Seeing so, Johnny immediately grabbed his laptop and some portable device, sticking its pads onto
Arthurâs vital spots above the brain.
Following that, Johnny opened his laptop and entered some enigmatic program containing complex
coding. Despite the sweat gathering on his forehead, he proficiently typed out a series of codes before
wiping Arthurâs memory of Sophia clean.
Johnny looked to Arthur, asleep on the couch, and found the young man locking his brows into a furrow
for a while.
Finally, when all was done, Johnny sorted everything out and returned to the couch to wait for Arthur to
regain consciousness.
Not ten minutes later, Arthur opened his eyes in discomfort. Compared to earlier, his gaze was now
looking more aloof and expressionless.
âWhat happened? Why did I pass out, Mr. Jennings?â Arthur couldnât help but ask.
âIt could be because youâre burntâout, Young Master. You should be fine now after a nap,â said Johnny
reassuringly.
