“Do you really think so?” George looked at Alyssa. “Do you truly think I’m capable to help my brother?”
“Of course.” Alyssa held his hand. “You are Stanford’s brother. In the company, who else could be
closer to him than you are? Since the accident happened to Stanford, you must help him this time.”
George said, “I know. Of course, I’ll try my best to help my brother.”
The doctors in City B gave Stanford an overall checkup. The result was the same -- he must take an
operation if he wanted his memories back.
However, Atwood didn’t tell Stanford about this result. He only told George about it. They achieved an
agreement.
George listened to his mother’s suggestion and also thought that the operation was dangerous, just in
case any accident would happen during the operation. Atwood believed that as long as Stanford
couldn’t remember his past, he wouldn’t remember Amanda. Hence, Stanford wouldn’t feel bothered by
the things in the past.
Hence, they didn’t tell Stanford about his status and privately decided not to let him take the operation.
When Stanford asked them later, the doctor who had been bribed by George and Atwood told him that
his sickness was not curable. The doctor also lied to him that the memory loss was temporary, and he
could remember his past at any time. Hence, Stanford believed that he could remember his past at any
time.
Meanwhile, in City C, Amanda secretly went to the hospital and wanted to know Stanford’s condition.
Probably it was because Joshua made him injured, or because she used to love him.
However, it wasn’t until she arrived at the hospital did she know that he had left.
Earlier, Stanford repeatedly told her that he wanted to say something to her, but until now, she still
didn’t know what he was going to tell her.
Out of the hospital, Amanda was walking along the roadside alone. She still felt a bit disappointed and
hesitant. She had tried her best to make herself become cold-blooded and hate him. However, she
could still remember all the details that they used to live together. Possibly she could never forget about
them all her life.
However, she also realized that they couldn’t go back to where they used to be anymore.
Their ending had been destined at the beginning.
He didn’t truly want to spend the rest of his life with her, so their ending was destined to be imperfect.
The wedding of Joshua and Bonnie was held as planned.
Bonnie’s parents arrived two days ahead. In the evening, Joshua invited all of them to have dinner in a
restaurant.
This time, almost everyone had been there except for Andrew.
Joshua booked a big private box that could hold twenty people. They gathered in two groups to chat,
one of which was all women. They were talking about their daily lives and the wedding.
The other group was all men and they were pretty quiet. They had become more mature and stead at
their age.
“Boyce, you’ve been promoted higher and higher, but it’s becoming more and more difficult to see you.
Your daughter is getting married, but you haven’t arrived until the very day. Do you feel unhappy with
your future son-in-law or your future in-laws?” Armand poured a glass of wine for Boyce while mocking
him.
Boyce didn’t arrive until the wedding would be held.
Boyce thought for a moment, looked at Matthew, and answered, “I’m in trouble this time. Otherwise, I
would have come here earlier.”
“What could bother you? We all know which level you are in now.” Armand pushed the wine glass
towards him.
“I’d better not hide it from you any longer. Originally, I shouldn’t have come here...”
Before he could finish his words, Armand went excited. “Your daughter is getting married. Why
shouldn’t you come over? It’s your daughter! You even want to dump your own daughter for your
position of a senior official?”
“Armand, be quiet. Let him finish his words,” said Matthew in a deep tone.
Armand waved his hand. “All right. All right. Let’s listen to him to see what excuse he could make.”
Boyce patted Armand on his shoulder and said, “You are not changed at all, still the same as you were
young.”
“Do you mean I’m still young? Thank you for your compliment. Hurry up and get down to business.”
Armand removed his hand.
Boyce took a sip of the wine that Armand pushed to him and said, “Last time, when we met, I
mentioned the top handed me a huge case. In the past year, I was busy with this case. It wasn’t
resolved until a few weeks. However, the internal staff has leaked some information, and the prime
culprit escaped. So far, the police have no clue yet.”
“So you are going to catch the prime culprit and have no time to attend your daughter’s wedding,
right?” Armand chimed in.
“Not really. He has been operating in the three northeast provinces for several years with a solid
foundation. To completely catch such a criminal, we spend more than a year and put on a lot of effort.
We’ve also sent in a lot of undercover policemen to get the details in his organization and set up careful
deployment before carrying on the plan to catch him. I’m responsible for the prime culprit’s escape, but
I’m still facing another problem now.” He looked up solemnly. His eyes had become calmer after all
these years. “I’ll be retaliated,” he said.
Boyce would receive punishment from the top because of failing to catch the prime culprit. For the sake
of the years of his experiences, the top gave him a chance to make amends for his previous mistake.
He needed to find out the person who had leaked the information and catch the prime culprit.
“Jasmine and I came over in secret this time.”
They still arranged a lot of bodyguards around their house to show that the escaped prime culprit that
Boyce and his wife were still at home.
Armand lowered his head in silence. After a long while, he said, “You’d better quit the job. Hurry up and
retire.”
It sounded too dangerous. Their children had grown up and they had been aged. It was time for them
to enjoy their retirement. He didn’t expect that Boyce was still leading such a threatening life.
“Move to City C and let your son-in-law raise you. He can afford it anyway.” Armand had been leading a
peaceful life for a long time, so he couldn’t listen to such dangerous things at all.
