Benjamin returned to the villa, still looking sad.Louis came to meet him at the gate. “You’re finally back,” he was smiling with excitement.Benjamin blinked twice. “Y-You… You remember me?”“Of course,” Louis said. “How can I forget you?”“B-But…” Benjamin didn’t know what to say. “But the others..”“Yeah, that’s crazy, isn’t it?” Louis said. “I woke up the other day, and everyone started behaving a bit differently. It kinda spooked me. I didn’t understand what was happening, but I dared and asked the woman Uzza, and she told me that this was done by some dark spiritual forces in high places. I asked her why, but she didn’t tell me. Do you know why this is happening? Why doesn’t anyone remember who you are? They are clearly hypnotized, but they somehow completely forgot you. That makes no sense to me no matter how much I think about it. Do you have any idea?”“Unfortunately, I don’t know much better than you do,” Benjamin replied. “But it does make senses, that they didn’t want the

Selena was currently watching a horse race along with Victoria Myers, who was the mother of Sofia Myers.After the race ended, Victoria won the bet and received 3 million dollars in addition to the 1 million dollars she used to palace the bet.Selena was very much thrilled to see that. “Do you always win like this?”“Most of the time,” Victoria said. “Betting is all about staying in the profit zone. If you think you’re going to lose, then you better quit. It’s better to go to sleep with a 10 dollar profit than a 100 dollar loss.”“Hahaha, right.”“I’m planning on betting on the elections,” Victoria said.“How much?”“1 billion dollars,” Victoria stated.Selena’s eyes popped out of her sockets. “A-Are you serious?”“Of course, I am.”“How can you be sure that you’ll win?” Selena couldn’t help but ask.“I’m not stupid. I have already spent 2 million dollars to privately survey the important cities and towns of the country,” Victoria said. “I even used my clothing stores to conduct more

Seeing Rebecca’s car, Benjamin got up and went past Kathy, making her wonder where he was going. But then she saw him go straight to Rebecca’s car. “Do they know each other?” Stacy frowned.Rebecca stepped out of the car and tossed the keys.Benjamin caught them.Seeing him, she was surprised. “I’m sorry,” she smiled awkwardly. “I thought it was a worker, so I tossed the keys...”“It’s okay,” Benjamin smiled because she used to throw the keys to him sometimes in the past. (It’s not your fault. Your memories might have been altered, but your muscle memory is still there.)Seeing her smile made Benjamin temporarily forget all the pain and put every other burden aside. His heart also smiled for the first time in a long time. “You’ve got a beautiful smile,” he said. “It’s like an oasis in a desert.” He tossed the keys back to her.Rebecca was not expecting such a powerful compliment, so she didn’t know how to react. “Uh…” she couldn’t find the right words and had to think. “My smile can’t

“I know my daughter is right next to me, but I wished that Rebecca was also born to me,” Dorothy said. “Then I would have been able to kiss her so many times when she was a baby. I feel the same way when I look at you two. Don’t think I’m trying to flatter you or anything. I’m really speaking from my heart. You two easily defeat any popular actors and actresses out there in terms of looks”Just then, Selena came downstairs.“What about me?” Selena asked.“O-Of course, you were also in a league of your own when you were young,” Dorothy said. “I don’t need to say that because your reputation speaks for itself.”Selena pridefully smiled and then greeted Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin before sitting at the table. She sat right next to Benjamin, which he didn’t quite like because he was hoping that Rebecca would sit there.Soon, Lisa, Roshan, and Shawn also joined.Lisa kept asking Benjamin a lot of questions, even though she was priorly told by her parents to keep her mouth shut.Roshan, on the

Rodnie was not just the owner of Pure Waters bar but also the principal of the school where Lisa and Roshan were studying. He changed a lot after his daughter died. But in the past, he was a much-feared man. No one would dare splash a drink in his face.“Who the hell…” Rodnie got angry and looked at the person that just threw the drink at his face, but after seeing Benjamin, he raised his eyebrows. “Who the hell are you?” he was about to fall to the side.Benjamin grabbed him in time and made him sit comfortably. “You drank too much.”“My daughter came to my mind this evening,” Rodnie said. “I didn’t know what else to do. I promised her I wouldn’t take drugs, so alcohol is the only thing I can still turn to. Thanks for grabbing me.” He poured some alcohol for Benjamin.“I didn’t come here to drink,” Benjamin pushed the glass away with his finger.“Then… What brought you here so early in the morning? Did you have a lovers’ quarrel or something?”“I just wanted to check if you’d remembe
