For some reason, Howard's smile sent a chill down Sharon’s spine."Then what exactly do you want?" Sharon tried to talk to him more to distract him. Maybe she could find a chance to escape."Aren't you curious about how I was able to get out of jail early? I already told you, I found success in jail and became an inventor." He suddenly made small talk with her.She was not interested at all, but in order to stall for time, she had to cooperate and act like she was curious. "Inventor? What did you invent?""Strictly speaking, it’s not an invention. It's just… Like you, I researched a very peculiar fragrance that allows the people who smell it to stabilize their minds and even forget their past troubles."Sharon could not help but snicker at his words, "I don’t think it’s possible to do that with any fragrance.""Just because you can't doesn't mean I can't. Besides, you should know that using fragrances can put people to sleep, right?" There was a certain eerie glint in his eyes.
Howard reached out his hand, gently stroking her cheek with compassion. The smile on his face looked a little demented. "Sleep well, Shar. When you wake up, your memories will only be of me, and we’ll go back to the best times in the past."...Simon's men quickly found Howard's current residence.He had not hidden his whereabouts at all. It was as if he wanted Simon to find him.Fearing it might be Howard’s trap, Simon brought his people to Howard’s house. However, they did not go in."Howard, come out!" Simon shouted.The place was surrounded by his men front and back. Howard definitely could not escape unless he had an underground passage."Howard, I’m going to help myself if you don't come out right now!"Simon stared inside with a cold look on his face. Did this nephew of his want to use Sharon to threaten him again?He did not believe Howard was going to do the same thing again and put a bomb inside the house, waiting for him to go in and blow him up.His men shouted fo
"Sharon, look at me and say it again. You don't know me well?" Simon thought she was pretending not to know him, but the way she resisted him so much did not seem like she was pretending. He could not help but panic.Sharon just hid in Howard's arms, looking like she was terrified of Simon. How would she dare to say one more word to him?She pulled on Howard's sleeve and whispered, "Is he really your uncle? He's so mean."Howard enjoyed her dependence on him. In fact, when they were in love, she had always obeyed him."Yes, he’s my uncle. Perhaps he’s suffering from some kind of physical defect, so he always has a bad temper." Howard looked at his uncle who was still in a wheelchair, wondering if his legs were still unfit to walk.He was no longer an able-bodied man. How would he be able to give Sharon happiness?"Oh, so it's like that." Sharon glanced at the man with some sympathy, but his gaze on her was too intimidating. She quickly looked away."Howard, let go of her." Simon
"Quit the act? What act?!" Sharon did not understand what he said. After thinking about it, she asked, "Are you suspecting that my feelings for him are just an act? Then let me tell you, I love him and I want to be with him forever!"As far as she could remember, Howard's family had always disapproved of them being together. Hence, it was no wonder she would say such things."Shar, stop it." Simon could not believe what she was saying."You're the one who should stop this nonsense. Let me go right now!" She relaxed her face, but deep inside, she was still a little scared of him."This is your home," Simon said.Sharon looked around and then snorted. "What are you talking about? This isn’t my home. What exactly do you want before you’ll let me go?"Simon became silent again and just stared at her without making a sound."Why do you keep looking at me? I'm warning you, don’t you dare hit me!" Sharon was scared by his stare."Will you finally stop messing around when I get a docto
Sharon widened her eyes the moment she heard the man opposite saying the word ‘me’. She was terribly shaken. “You… I…” She was at a loss for words. She could not believe it. She could not believe that this child belonged to both of them! “You’re lying to me! I’m a young lady. How could I already have a child? How could I have a child with…” She did not dare to continue speaking. With the memories she had now, something like this was simply outrageous. She was extremely angry as well. She scolded him, “I didn’t expect you to be so treacherous! How dare you resort to such roguish means to break Howard and me apart?!” Simon continued to speak at an even pace, “Bonnie is your child. You suffered a lot when you gave birth to her. The doctor operated on you and took her out of your womb. You can touch your abdomen and see if there’s a scar there.” Sharon reached down to touch her abdomen. There was really a short scar over there! She started to panic. Was he telling the truth?
The doctor sighed heavily and said, “Seeing that she lost her memory when her brain wasn't hurt and she didn’t experience anything that triggered her mental state… It’s impossible for her to have selective amnesia.”Simon stared at him. “What do you mean?” “Based on my experience, it looks like she’s been hypnotized,” the doctor said. “Hypnotized?” This was the first time Simon had heard that one could lose their memories through hypnosis. “Actually, I don’t know much about hypnosis, but I have a friend who’s an expert in this area. He told me that there’s a type of hypnosis that can make one lose their memories in a short period of time. They’ll only be able to remember their earliest memories.” “Bring this friend of yours over!” Simon immediately said. The doctor listened to him and contacted his friend through a phone call at once. His friend was a doctor as well. He was called Doctor Kline.“Doctor Kline, I heard that you’re an expert on hypnosis. Please take a lo
Simon grabbed Howard’s collar before he could smile for long. He punched him harshly across the face right away! “Who did you hire to hypnotize her?!” Simon shouted in a hard and cold voice. He wanted to kill him at once. Howard’s mouth was filled with the taste of blood. He spat out a mouthful of blood. One of his teeth had been knocked out as well! The force of Simon’s punch was extremely strong. If he punched him two more times, he would have killed him. Howard noted the anger in his gaze. He laughed and said, “It was me. I hypnotized her. I made her forget all about you.” Simon’s gaze darkened. “Instead of learning how to be a decent human being, is that all you learned in prison?” “Hah… Of course. I need to thank you guys for sending me to prison. Otherwise, how would I have picked up such skills?” Howard inched closer to him on purpose. “Uncle, do you regret it now?” he asked in a challenging tone. He shook his head and said, “It’s useless even if you regret i
Simon did not expect things to go so far. Howard was proposing to her in the blink of an eye. They would be getting married tomorrow! Did they think that their relationship was a game? However, he knew that Howard was deliberately trying to piss him off. “We’re getting married tomorrow, Uncle. You won’t ruin our wedding ceremony, right?” Howard asked while he looked at him after he got up and wrapped his arm around Sharon. Simon met Howard’s dark gaze, which was filled with mirth. He suddenly remembered the doctor’s words. He mentioned that he should go along with Sharon’s intentions and let her do as she wished.Perhaps she would be able to recall how Howard had dumped her during their wedding back then if he held a wedding ceremony for them. Simon spoke to Howard in a generous tone, “Since both of you insist on being together, why should I separate you two? Of course, both of you can hold a wedding ceremony. I’ll organize the ceremony for both of you.” Howard’s smil
