The man’s voice was hoarse from a whole day of pushing insurance sales, which was why he spoke softly. Despite that, Sophia could still hear him.

She turned around and took off her mask as she looked at him. What she saw was an unfamiliar, tired and dejected face. She had no recollection of this face in her memories.

Smiling at him, she asked, “Do I know you, sir?”

Taken aback, the man opened and closed his mouth a few times, but not a word left his pale lips.

There was no mistake; it really was her. Then why…

Before he could say anything, the man standing next to Sophia tugged at her as he spoke coldly. “That’s your ex-boyfriend, Richard Harper. Ignore him.”

“Really?” Sophia faintly remembered this person. However, no matter how unforgettable someone was, they were just another stranger to her now.

“He looks so old.”

Taking another look at him, Michael almost did not recognize Richard too.

Indeed, Richard looked extremely old. Standing before them was a man in his twenties, but he looked like he was past forty. His white hair and wrinkles made him look pale and dull. He must have been released from prison. On top of that, he was sick too.

 

Then, Michael led Sophia away and they left.

Standing still, Richard watched as Sophia slowly disappeared from his sight. He knew that he was forever gone in her memories, becoming complete strangers and would never interact with each other again. The past would stay in the past, buried forevermore.

 

It was only after a long time that he sat back down on the bench. Turning around, he looked at the house that was once his home.

Once upon a time, he was an incredibly powerful man. He was worth tens of billions and was a high-profiled and influential person.

But now, everything had changed.

Everything that he once had was now far out of his reach.

Not only did the Harper Group go bankrupt, the Harper Family was completely ruined. Mr. Harper had taken his own life while Mrs. Harper remarried, left the country and was unreachable. Meanwhile, Richard and Xyla were both sentenced to prison and had lost all their fame and fortune.
