“Sure, Grandma.” Emily gladly accepted the offer.
“Grandma, I have to deal with some work first. I‘ll join you guys for dinner later.” With that, Arthur walked away.
Adoration oozed from Emily‘s gaze as she watched the tall, charming, retreating figure. I have to become his wife! she swore.
“Emily, take a stroll in the garden with me, will you?” Martha asked.
“Sure. Grandma, will Artie be leaving again now that he‘s back?” Emily probed, to which Martha patted her and soothed, “There‘s no need to worry, Emily. Artie‘s back now, isn‘t he? You have to create your own opportunities, you know.”
Emily‘s eyes lit up upon hearing so. It looks like Grandma still wants me to become Arthur‘s wife. “I got it, Grandma.” She nodded. “I‘ll definitely seize the opportunity.”
Martha nodded in response. At the end of the day, she was still inclined to have a young woman from one of Flor‘s most affluent families marry her grandson. More than that, Emily‘s father was an esteemed biologist in his field, and he had also given the Weiss Family tons of profit. It couldn‘t be any better if Emily married Arthur.
Meanwhile, Arthur‘s 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 today—a micro–tube of serum.
“Dr. Jennings, Young Master Weiss is inside. Please come in!”
“Alright. Water for the both of us,” 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, “I‘ll take it from here. You can go back to your work.”
The assistant didn‘t 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.
“Young Master Weiss, it‘s been a while,” greeted Johnny while putting the spiked glass
