Matt spoke as he opened the cabinet in the room. There was a sack inside, and he pulled it out.

Caleb and Roy looked at each other. There was never any thief in the Bullock family's manor before.

Wasn't this thief a little too bold?

"This is probably an inside job. Go back and interrogate this person to see what you have lost." Matt opened the sack and was shocked to see Ceres inside.

"Ceres?"

Caleb and Roy also recognized Ceres at a glance!

"Ceres, wake up! Wake up!" Matt patted Ceres's face. He had hit Ceres so hard that Ceres was still unconscious.

"Mr. Matt, do you know her?"

"This is the niece I'm looking for! Why is she here?"

"The niece you are looking for is Johny's wife?" Caleb stood up.

"Yes!"

Roy looked at the information in his hand. It was a photo of Ceres!

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

"This girl has already acknowledged me as his godfather."

Matt frowned and did not say anything.

Because of the relationship between Ceres and Matt, Caleb did not excessively pursue why Ceres jumped out of the wall. It was inappropriate for Matt to appear in the Bullock family's manor, so Caleb arranged a hotel for them.

Ceres woke up in a daze and felt a sharp pain in her neck as if she had a stiff neck.

"Don't move!" Matt took a hot towel and placed it on Ceres's neck.

Ceres looked at the person in front of her and narrowed her eyes at him in confusion. "You are..."

"Hey, you forgot about me so quickly?" Matt chuckled.

Ceres looked at Matt's face. Some of the fragments gradually became clear in her mind. She did not seem to know the person in front of her, but she felt that she was very familiar with him. This feeling was very similar to when some fragmented scenes had appeared in her mind before. However, this time, the fragments in her mind were clearer than any other time.

"You really don't remember me?" "I am Matt, your father's good friend. Girl, what's wrong with you?" Matt looked at Ceres doubtfully.

"Dad's good friend..."

Those memories slowly pieced together. In the yard of her hometown, Ceres talked with Matt. They went to worship her father together. Those fragments suddenly became very familiar. "You are Matt, the Purple Phoenix, right?"

"Yes! You finally remember me!"

Matt let out a long breath and stroked Ceres's head. "I thought that my palm strike had struck your head too heavily and made you silly. Fortunately, you are alright!"

Ceres wasn't in the mood to laugh. "I don't really remember you, but I seem to know who you are."

"What happened?" Only then did Matt realize that things were not that simple.

Ceres first let out a long sigh, then told Matt that she had been hypnotized. Afterward, she told Matt that the red spots on her face couldn't be removed because of Jamie. Then, she told Matt about her quarrel with Johny.

When Ceres told Matt all that she had experienced, she suddenly patted her head.

"Mr. Matt, it is so strange. I actually trust you so much, but I really don't have many memories of you. I only know that you are my dad's friend."

Ceres felt very puzzled. Why could she not remember other fragments no matter how hard she tried, but Matt's fragments gradually became clear when she saw him?

However, she had no time to think about these questions. "Mr. Matt, you should know how my father died, right? Tell me!"

"Suicide."

"Suicide?" Ceres was even more puzzled.

At that moment, Ceres suddenly remembered a picture. She was crying while reading a letter. That letter seemed to be written by her father.

"Yes, he committed suicide because he knew that you were in love with Johny. He hoped that you would be happy. Can you remember these moments?"

Ceres tried hard to recall the contents of the letter, but she still failed.

She shook her head hard and only felt that her head was starting to hurt again.

"Alright, if you can't remember, then don't." Matt held Ceres's shoulders. "Perhaps Johny was right. Forget the past and then create new memories. For you, that is the right choice." Ceres heaved a sigh of relief. How could she not know that Johny was doing this for her? However, seeing that there was no room for negotiation, she still felt very uncomfortable. "Johny is a trustworthy guy. Your father also knew this, so he dared to risk his life to let you two be together."

Matt could not help but sigh, "Ceres, although your father is not your biological father, he will never harm you, so you should return to Johny."

Ceres looked at Matt in shock. "What? My dad is not my biological father?"

Matt looked at Ceres's surprised eyes and realized that after she was hypnotized, such memories had also been erased.

"It seems that the hypnosis has influenced you too much. It erased your memories about Johny as well as many other things in your life."

"Mr. Matt, is my dad really not my biological father?"

Ceres found that she was not so painful. According to her experience, it meant that she had experienced this moment before.

"I also helped you replace some clues about your biological father. You destroyed it yourself."

Ceres released Matt's arm.

She suddenly remembered something.

She had been inexplicably kidnapped. The other party did not ask for money or make any other requests. When she woke up, Ceres was in a warehouse, and then she went back home herself.

She also remembered Sally had repeatedly advised her to leave, saying that Ceres would die if she stayed. Jamie felt that she would be a threat to her if she stayed! Besides, Jamie also treated Ceres as a thorn in her side.

Could it be...

"Ceres, what are you thinking about?" Matt sensed that something was wrong with Ceres.

"It's nothing. I'm just very sad. I am actually not my father's real daughter." Ceres shook her head.

Ceres was not sure about the relationship between Matt and Caleb, so she did not dare to easily reveal her doubts.

"There's nothing to be sad about. He was lucky enough to have a daughter like you in his life."

Matt might be old, and he always felt that Ceres was like his own child.

"Mr. Matt, what is your relationship with Caleb? You two seem to be very familiar with each other?"

"It's a long story. A few years ago, I was being hunted down. It was Mr. Caleb who saved me. In order to repay him, I have been secretly protecting him until I saved him a few days ago. I finally paid a debt of gratitude. I have never wanted to owe anyone favors, but when I found out that you were in Country M, I had to ask him for help, for I hardly know anyone there."

"Mr. Matt, do you have anything else to say? Can I ask you for a favor?"
