I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Jack stood in front of an emergency room of a hospital while occasionally looking at his watch. His plan to pick up Anne fails. The sound of a few men's footsteps made Jack's previously expressionless face vanished and he smiled. 

"Sorry for being late, sir," said Erick, who had just arrived with several other big men.

"It's okay. Have you done what I asked before?"Jack immediately asked the task he had previously given to Erick when he brought Sophia to the hospital, along with a man who found her the first time sprawled on the cold ground with her hands already cut with a knife. 

"Miss Sophia's parents are on their way to London, Sir, they are using the Higgins family's private jet. If there are no obstacles, they should arrive here in an hour," Erick answered quickly.

"Good, you've taken care of everything. Remember, I don't want to be seen as involved in this, let the man who helped him be the hero. I'm really sick of this woman." 

Jack's voice sounded cold and merciless to Sophia, who was still unconscious, because the scratches on her left hand were quite deep and almost hit the arteries which were the most important blood vessels. 

"Yes sir, we will do as you command." Erick answered Jack politely while lowering his head.

After Erick and his men arrived, Jack decided to leave the hospital where Sophia was being treated. Earlier, when Sophia found out that Edmund was not a Muller, she was very shocked, and Sophia's attitude made Jack even more convinced that there was indeed a relationship between the two. Because Jack felt that he had nothing to do with Sophia, he decided to leave. After Jack refused Sophia who wanted to return to him, he immediately got into his car and prepared to drive his car back to the highway. 

However, Jack couldn't go straight away because Sophia took a penknife out of her shirt. She threatened to kill herself if Jack refused her. Jack, who no longer had any feelings for Sophia, ignored the woman. He just took her hand off of the window, making a thumbs down symbol without saying anything. After that, he immediately stepped on the gas pedal and left the screaming Sophia. Jack only realized that Sophia had really done her threat when he accidentally looked in the mirror and saw Sophia fall down. Because the road he was taking was a one-way street, so Jack couldn't help but keep driving and looked for a turn. 

After successfully finding a u-turn, Jack immediately went to Sophia's place. When Jack arrived at Sophia's place, there were already several people there. Not long after, they took Sophia to the hospital for fear of her life, because the blood coming out of her hands was very heavy. Luckily, there was no CCTV in the area, so there were no traces of Jack there. At first, Jack just wanted to make sure Sophia arrived at the hospital safely and intended to go straight to pick up Anne, but his conscience was still functioning properly. He then contacted Erick and asked Erick to report this incident to Sophia's parents in Switzerland. Because now Erick had taken care of everything, Jack finally decided to leave the hospital.

"Anne, are you still waiting for me?" 

Jack kept talking to himself in the car while on his way to Ganke Inc. Production. He was already four hours late from the appointment he had made earlier. And Jack wasn't really sure that Anne would still be waiting for him. Because the snow was getting thicker Jack had to be more careful in driving his car and this took him longer to reach Leon's office. His heart became even more restless, because Anne had not picked up the call since then. 

"Pick it up, Anne, I need to talk to you," Jack mumbled softly when Anne missed the call for the umpteenth time. 

Because he was very uneasy, Jack finally decided to go straight to Anne's apartment. He was sure that Anne had gone home, because Jack was sure no one wanted to wait in these cold conditions for hours on end, let alone a woman, the most elusive creatures. 

Drrrtt

Drrrtt 

The cell phone that was lying on the seat next to him rang, without seeing the caller Jack immediately received the incoming call by pressing a button on the steering wheel which was automatically connected to his smart phone.

"Anne..."

"Hello Jack, where are you now?"

Thump!

Jack didn't continue his words when he heard the voice of a woman he knew very well was connected to him. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman who was the sixth generation of Mrs. Higgins, the mother of Sophia Higgins, Mrs. Hannah Higgins 

"Mrs. Higgins." Jack answered quietly in an even voice. 

"Sophia, my daughter. She had a misfortune, Jack. She is currently in London, following you, her true love..."

"Madam, I'm her ex-boyfriend, please remember that. We are not related, you know that too, right?" Jack cut off Hannah Higgins' words curtly.

Hannah Higgins and her husband Roberts Higgins who had just landed at the airport immediately stopped their steps when they heard Jack's words. She looked shocked that Jack was able to talk like that, even though she was absolutely sure that Jackson Patrick Muller was still crazy about her daughter, Sophia. At least, she still believed that until now.

"Jack," Hannah Higgins gently touched his chest, looking like she was trying to keep herself from exploding this time. "You know that you have been betrothed since a few years ago, you are even engaged. Then how can you say this, Jack? Sophia is still your fiancee. She is your future wife chosen by your parents a few years ago, Jack, so I think it's not appropriate for you to speak like that when Sophia has already…"

"Realized of her mistake you mean, Madam? Realized that Esteban Shevchenko is not as rich as I am? Finally, she decided to leave the footballer and come back to me, is that what you mean? I am not a stupid child that can be tricked, Madam. After all, only a fool would accept a traitor who has given her chastity to others and went back to sleep with other men many times while her fiancée was busy working to build the palace of his woman's dreams. And one more thing that I need to remind you, Madam, don't bring up my late father and mother anymore. They have nothing to do with this. My relationship with Sophia has ended ever since Sophia decided to go with Esteban. So stop saying she's my future wife," Jack said quickly, cutting off Hannah Higgins. "Sorry I'm busy, please don't bother me. Good afternoon." Jack immediately hung up Hannah Higgins' call without guilt.

Hannah Higgins, who heard Jack talking at length, was still standing still with her hand still holding the cell phone to her ear. She couldn't believe that the Jack whom she knew to be very obedient and quiet could speak so rudely. 

"What's wrong, dear?" Robert Higgins asked his wife quietly, who was still speechless.

"Jackson, that stupid Jackson Patrick Muller is now very good at talking, Robert. He's a dissident," Hannah Higgins answered quietly. She still couldn't believe Jack could say that to her.

"What do you mean?" asked Robert Higgins confusedly

."I didn't expect a stupid kid like that to talk to me so intimidatingly like he did just now. I feel a little annoyed with him, Robert." Hannah Higgins answered her husband's words slowly. "But don't worry Robert, I'll make sure he's still Sophia's husband. I'm not going to let our pot of gold to be lost. Sophia should be Mrs. Muller," she said again, filled with ambition.
