I’ll Teach You, Marianne. - Chapter 715

“How is it, Son? Is he useful to our plan?” asked an old man to his son who had just put his cell phone in front of his laptop displaying the data on Muller Finance International’s net profit for the past year.

“Calm down, Dad. We just have to sit back. This man is very easy to manage. Our plan to take over what should be ours will soon come true,” replied the handsome man who was clenching his fists on the table.

“Haha…good! Then you better sleep. It’s almost morning, you should take care of your health. After we take over the company you will be very busy.”

“I get it, Dad. Don’t worry. I’ll be going to bed soon.”

The old man who was already wearing his pajamas then squeezed his son’s shoulders before finally leaving his son’s study to return to his room. After his father left, the man looked back at his laptop screen with a smile. His hand slowly touched the laptop screen which displayed the net profit amount of Muller Finance International.

“What will be mine will return to me. This time it’s your end, Jack,” the man said softly in a trembling voice. Every time he mentioned Jack’s name his emotions were always uncontrollable.

“No!!!”

Jack opened his sky blue eyes quickly as a scream escaped his lips. All the clothes attached to his body were soaked with sweat. It was a nightmare, damn it.

A bad dream suddenly disturbed Jack’s peaceful sleep. After being with Anne again, this was the first time Jack had another nightmare.

Jack wiped his wet face with both hands. “I guess because I didn’t take a shower and change clothes, that’s why the nightmare occurred,” Jack muttered quietly before his smile broadened at the sight of Anne’s challenging sleeping position with the buttons of her pajama unbuttoned, making both of Jack’s favorite beautiful things clearly visible.

“Fuck! Hey you little bird. Can’t you relax for a second? Don’t torture me! Your mama is in no mood to please you,” Jack was talking to himself as he felt the thing in his groin expand and tighten due to Anne’s beauty.

Since it was almost morning and he couldn’t sleep anymore, Jack decided to freshen up in the bathroom, using cold water to wash his head. Jack couldn’t understand why the nightmares came back to him after months of having such a good quality sleep. Because he was hungry, suddenly Jack decided not to linger long after his mandatory ritual after waking up. Wearing a towel large enough to wrap his lower body, Jack went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Even though it was already five in the morning, but Jack didn’t want to wake Anne. He preferred to make his own food. With the last roasted bacon, Jack made and then enjoyed his breakfast voraciously. He occasionally glanced at Anne who was still in the same position, lying on her back with an open chest.

“You’re such a naughty one, babe. How dare you sleep in that position,” Jack muttered under his breath with his mouth full of food.

After finishing his homemade sandwich, Jack then reached for his cell phone which he had been charging on the table since last night. When his cell phone was activated, Jack was surprised when he got dozens of incoming messages sent by Erick, Luis, Nicholas and Aaron. The four people who were currently replacing all of his jobs simultaneously sent him a message, although the messages were different.

“Giselle Allen was moved by her family after she was accused of being the mastermind of a series of attacks that disturbed you, sir.”

Jack slowly read the message that Erick sent to him. Slowly, he folded the smart phone from the Korean brand.

Slowly, Jack turned to Anne who was still asleep. Jack recalled the words that Anne had said before. Now Jack was increasingly convinced that Giselle was just a pawn controlled by Leon. It was just that Jack felt that there was something odd about everything. Out of nowhere, Jack felt that Leon was not the real mastermind of the series of events that got him in trouble, because Jack was sure that Leon wasn’t that good at making plans by himself.

Previously, Jack felt that Leon was the mastermind behind all of Giselle’s actions. Now Jack felt that someone else was behind Leon’s actions, a person who really understood him. Jack’s body suddenly stiffened when a familiar name flashed in his mind.

Without waiting for a long time, Jack then came out of the room with his cell phone, trying to contact Erick. Jack was sure that Erick must have woken up. The time difference of only one hour with Switzerland made it easy for Jack to communicate with Erick.

“Yes sir.” Erick’s hoarse wake-up voice sounded clear to Jack’s ears.

Jack smiled and looked at the watch on his left hand. “You’re awake, right?”

“Yes sir, my consciousness is back at 100% this time, sir.” Erick, who understood what his master was talking about, immediately answered like that.

“Good. Listen to me carefully. Investigate what Edmund Immanuel and his father Johnny have done over the past few months. I ask for the data at 12 this afternoon,” Jack said firmly. His voice was rising when he mentioned the name of his cousin, who didn’t have any blood relationship to him at all.

“Edmund Immanuel, do you think that man had anything to do with this series of messes, sir?” asked Erick quickly.

Jack cleared his throat. “I don’t know. I suddenly had a feeling that Edmund and his crazy father are connected after reading the messages you sent about Giselle.”

Erick, who actually had only fallen asleep an hour after making love with Alice, immediately got up from his big bed without wearing any clothes so that his naked body was perfectly exposed. “Very well, sir. I will ask my men to investigate Edmund. It does feel strange that suddenly Edmund and his father did nothing after he came to the office that time.”

“Well, you noticed that too, didn’t you? Well then, do everything neatly without any flaws. I’ll contact Luis to check on Christian’s condition. I’m afraid Christian is being targeted by that bastard cousin to pressure me. I know the cunning wits of Edmund and his father,” said Jack again.

“Yes sir, I will immediately carry out your orders.”

Jack smiled and hung up the call before finally calling Luis in Luxembourg. It didn’t take long for Jack’s call to be received by Luis who was used to getting up that morning. The two of them had a serious conversation for almost ten minutes. Jack mentioned Leon and Edmund’s names several times. Those two men still disturbed the happiness of their marriage to this day, even though their goals were different.

“I don’t have any proof yet, but my feelings go out to Edmund and his father who still hope to have Muller Finance International. That’s why I ask you to be on guard, don’t accept anyone who wants to come close. I don’t want anything to happen to Christian. Christian is my future hope, Luis,” Jack said hoarsely.

“Don’t worry, sir. I will risk my life to protect the young master.”

Jack pursed his lips. “Thank you, Luis. I entrust my son to you,” Jack said quietly before finally hanging up the phone.

When he had put his cell phone in his pocket, Jack looked up at the sky which started to get a little brighter. “I’m sorry, Dad. If your adopted brother and son continue to harass my family, then I won’t hesitate this time, I hope you’re not mad at me from up there.”

So far, Jack had been holding himself back from killing Edmund and his father, who was his father’s adopted brother. During his life, Calvin Muller and Johnny, who at that time still bore the name Muller as his last name, were very close. That was why Calvin always advised Jack to always forgive all the mistakes that Edmund had made, but since knowing Edmund was the man who took the chastity of Sophia Higgins, who was his fiancé at that time, Jack had hated him to this day. What’s more, Edmund’s ambition was that he wanted to seize his company.

“My patience has run out, Edmund. If it is proven that you are the person who has been trying to harm me, then don’t blame me if I make you regret it this time,” said Jack quietly with determination.
