I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Jack stopped his steps when Anne suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Anne..."

"Don't go, I'm sorry," said Anne quietly from behind Jack's back.

Immediately, a smile appeared on Jack's face. He quickly turned around to look at Anne who was bowing her head.

"What did you say, Anne? I didn't hear you." 

Bam!

Anne threw a punch at Jack's chest using her left hand with a bit of force so that Jack gave a small shriek. He immediately used his hand to hold his chest. However, because Jack forgot that the chest that Anne had hit was the right side, he held onto his left chest instead.

"My heart hurts..."

"Stupid, I hit your right chest. Not your left chest!!" said Anne annoyed.

"Oh really?" Jack asked innocently.

"Jack!!!"

Jack's laughter finally broke. He then immediately hugged Anne tightly. Time and time again, Jack landed a kiss on Anne's forehead, like a couple who had just met after being apart for so long.

"You're not mad at me anymore?" Jack asked softly as he still hugged Anne.

Anne didn't answer. She preferred to bury her face in Jack's chest which made Jack smile even more.

"I see, I already know the answer. You don't need to answer. Well then, it's better for you to go home with the driver. I have to go back to the office to… ouch…!"

A scream closed Jack's words due to a pinch that Anne landed on his stomach.

"It hurts, babe."

"You're annoying. Why are you sending me home, when I want to be with you?" said Anne sulkily.

"You seriously want to be with me, not with Charlotte and... ouch! Geez!"

Anne again pinched Jack's stomach hard. "You suck, I hate you."

Jack chuckled. He then tightened his arms around Anne's body. "Don't be mad honey, I was just kidding."

"Stop teasing me, I don't like it!!"

"Yeah sorry, okay then we..."

"I don't want to go to the office or home. I want to go on a date with you!" Anne immediately cut off Jack's words quickly.

Jack's eyes widened when he heard Anne's words. He even opened his mouth wide because he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"W-what did you say, Anne?"

"Never mind, I didn't say anything. You're annoying!!"

Realizing the aura of anger from his wife, Jack finally acted quickly. In a short motion, he immediately carried Anne's body bridal style and carried her into the car. Anne, who was surprised at first, finally gave in and wrapped her arms around Jack's neck, her entire face had turned red and made her look even more adorable.

"You asked for it, so don't blame me," Jack said softly as he brought Anne into the car with a wide smile on his face, his eyes were gleaming with great desire at this moment.

"Jack..."

"No, no, no...  Don't talk, you're not allowed to talk," said Jack quickly.

Anne smiled. "Very well, I surrender to you, Master."

Bang!

An invisible thunderbolt from Asgard hit Jack's chest when he heard Anne's words. Indeed, Anne had awakened Jack's long-buried wild soul. Damn!

< Muller Finance International >

After Jack went with Anne to see Charlotte's condition at the hospital, Erick and the others seemed very busy. Aaron and Daniel even had to help. Really, Benjamin Calum and Leon had really beat the drums of war on Muller Finance International.

Influenced by Leon, Benjamin Calum finally intended to sue Muller Finance International for alleged violations of cooperation, even though in fact they had not officially decided to establish a working relationship. The reason was that Jack had not signed any cooperation documents at all, but Benjamin Calum still didn't accept it and intended to sue Muller Finance International.

"I wonder why there is a human being as stupid as Benjamin Calum in this world? Obviously we haven't decided to accept this cooperation, but how can he say that in front of reporters?" Nicholas cursed emotionally.

"Leon, Leonardo Ganke is the brains of all this mess. So don't just blame Benjamin, Nick," Erick said quietly commenting on Nicholas' words.

Bam!

Alice hit the table hard. "I can't understand what the lion really wants. I think he's really out of his mind, he's the one having an affair, he's the one who betrayed her, he's the one who hurt Anne, and now he's the one who's trying desperately to disturb the household of Anne and Mr. Jack. He's a stupid man failed to move on."

Aaron smiled at Alice's words. "That's because Leon is sorry, Alice. He regrets throwing a precious diamonds for a fake jewelry."

Erick pursed his lips at Aaron's words, as well as Nicholas who already knew what had really happened to Leon for the past three years after he said he had been separated from Steffi. It seemed that the karma for what he had done to Anne in the past had started to return to him, but apparently the man had not realized and was trying to disturb Anne and Jack's marriage through other people.

"Actually, what happened to that man? From the news that I heard last time Ganke Inc Production suffered a huge loss after the animated film they made did not sell well in the market, is that true?" Daniel suddenly brought up Leon's company which was in Germany.

Nicholas chuckled. "How can you not lose when Master had asked your business friends who are engaged in the film industry to reject the animated film Ganke Inc Production."

"What?" Alice and Daniel both shouted at the same time after hearing Nicholas' words.

"Yes, Mr. Jack asked his friends to refuse to show the latest animated film from Ganke Inc Production. Because no one cinema wanted to show the film as a result, the latest film from Ganke Inc Production also suffered huge losses, even some TV channels paid also refused to show the film at their place. So in the end as you can guess, Ganke Inc Production suffered a huge loss. Even the last news I heard Leonardo Ganke had to spend his personal money to cover the outstanding production cost debt, "answered Erick explained at length what Leon had been going through for the past two years.

"Crazy, Jack actually did that?" Aaron asked in disbelief.

Eric nodded his head slowly. "Yes, at that time Master said he wanted to give Leon a little surprise."

"A little surprise? Making people lose millions of dollars is called a little surprise?"

Eric shrugged his shoulders. "That's what Master told me."

Hearing Erick's words made Alice chuckle. "Let's just say that Master at that time was looking for an outlet after almost going crazy looking for Anne without success for almost three years, right?"

"Looking for Anne for almost three years, what does that mean?" asked Aaron suddenly.

"Oops."

Alice immediately covered her mouth with both hands when she realized she blurted out too much, because so far only certain people have known about the dark years of Anne and Jack's marriage. That was why no outsiders knew that for the past three years Jack and Anne had actually been living separately.

"You're still part of the Connery Corporation, Alice. Tell me quickly, what did you mean by that?!"
