I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Aaron was still keeping his lips shut even though Alice had told him everything that had happened to Anne and Jack three years ago, while Daniel seemed to be massaging his forehead which suddenly hurt.

"So one of the strongest reasons you left Muller Finance International was this problem?" Aaron asked quietly.

Alice nodded her head. "Yeah, I was disappointed and angry, especially at Erick." Alice's eyes flashed, staring intently at Erick as she spoke.

"Oh my God, then Anne forgave Jack so easily?" Aaron asked again.

Alice shook her head. "Of course it's not that easy. How could a woman's heart heal that easily after being hurt so deeply? Anne told me everything last night, including the reason for forgiving that jerk Mr. Jack."

"What did she tell you?" Aaron asked Alice again with great curiosity.

"All the efforts of Mr. Jack for three years looking for him here and there finally made Anne's heart melt, especially when she found out that Master had received intensive treatment by a psychiatrist. Anne's tender heart immediately melted when she found out that her husband, the man she loved, her first love, to experience that. Even though Anne was actually hurt, she still has Christian as her support, unlike Mr. Jack who was completely alone in this world. Anne also told me that she was once in a position of being alone with no one to rely on, that's why when she found out that Master was so depressed, she was hurt and sad. Moreover, she saw for herself how Master kneeled before Paul, asking him to help him to persuade Anne to return home with him. Just imagine, a Jackson Knight Clarke who had everything, went down to his knees in front of an ordinary man. What would you call a man who would do such a thing but a frustrated man?" Alice said at length, her eyes were welling with tears as she said this.

Aaron took a deep breath. "How did Anne know that Jack fell into depression and was receiving intensive care from a psychiatrist, Alice?'

Alice turned to Erick. "She heard it from Luis, Luis Cobb, former personal assistant of the late Mr. David Clarke."

"What?"

"Luis?"

Erick and Nicholas shouted at the same time. They couldn't believe that Luis would reveal the secret they had been keeping for so long. 

Alice smiled. "Yes, Anne knows what happened to Master from Mr. Luis. Through email, Luis regularly reports what Mr. Jack does every day to Anne. Even though Anne doesn't reply to Luis' emails, she reads them all without missing a single one. Anne even has a photo of how Master was at the hospital where he was receiving treatment."

"Damn, Luis is a jerk!!! How dare he divulge that secret!!" Erick shouted with emotion.

Alice chuckled. "You want to be angry with Luis? Are you sure? In fact, it was from Luis that you managed to find the whereabouts of Anne."

"What? Luis?"

"Yes, Nick, Luis intentionally sent information to your subordinates about Anne's whereabouts. If Luis didn't tell him about Anne's whereabouts, I'm sure you haven't found heruntil now," Alice answered with a smile. 

"Don't tell me Luis has known where Madam had been hiding with Linda and Paul for a long time?"

Alice smiled again. "Luis is a very great former special police officer. Do you still doubt him after seeing his past?"

Nicholas swallowed his saliva quickly. He was really surprised to hear Alice's words. Luis had known everything from the start.

"If Luis knows where Anne and her two friends have run away, then why was he silent?" asked Aaron curiously.

"I DID THAT BECAUSE I WANT TO TEACH MASTER A LESSON."

Luis, who was holding Christian, suddenly appeared and answered Aaron's question in a loud voice.

Everyone in the meeting room immediately turned their heads towards the source of the voice and was surprised to see Luis was smiling warmly at all of them. Alice immediately got up from her chair and approached Luis who was holding Christian who was sleeping.

"Careful, young master just slept five minutes ago," Luis said softly to Alice, who was trying to grab Christian from his arms.

"I know, Luis. You don't have to worry," Alice answered quietly, patting Christian's plump ass to put the boy back to sleep.

Luis smiled at the way Alice put Christian back to sleep. After seeing that Christian was completely safe in Alice's arms, slowly he walked and sat on the chair that Jack had used when he was in the meeting room after taking a bottle of red wine from the storage area in the room.

"Why did you do that, Luis? Aren't you just making them suffer more and more?" Aaron asked Luis again, even though the first question had not been answered.

Luis smiled. He then poured red wine into his glass and enjoyed it alone without guilt.

"Luis, we asked you. Why are you silent?" Erick growled with emotion.

Luis chuckled. He then put the now empty glass on the table. "I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

"What do you mean?" Erick said loudly, he was very annoyed with Luis at this time because he thought he had played them all.

"Before Master passed away, I was given the mandate to look after the heir of the Clarke family as I have looked after the Grand Master for the past few years. That's why I'm doing all of this. Three years ago when Mr. Jack went crazy and accused the madam of having an affair because of the photos, for a while I got angry at the madam as well. That's why I kept quiet when Master vented all his anger at that time. Because one of my principles in life is there is excuse for a traitor. But after I investigated all the photos and they turned out to be fake photos, I was very sorry. I was angry with myself for being stupid and didn't think clearly that night. So I tried my best to try to track the whereabouts of Madam. But my attempt at that time failed because the lady had left Luxembourg by land which at that time was not tracked by my subordinates. Really, at that time, I was already starting to despair. But after finding out that the lady left pregnant with her one of the twins who was saved, I felt like my spirit is burning again. I remembered my oath to the big master to protect the heir of this family. That's why I asked for the help of my friends who are still active to join in the search for the whereabouts of Madam. For two months, our efforts had not yielded any results, until finally in the third month, our search finally succeeded. One of my men received information that Madam and her two friends were in Aberdeen, Scotland. Since then, I have been monitoring her from afar, especially when Madam was pregnant. I asked the best doctor in the hospital in Scotland to work in the hospital where Madam checked her pregnancy. It was the doctor who gave me the progress of her pregnancy every month. When she was in her fifth month of pregnancy, I actually wanted to tell Master everything. However, when I saw Master's condition, who at that time was depending on drugs to cure his depression, I finally postponed telling him everything. I finally decided to open everything after the young master had often started asking Madam where his father was."

"Are you kidding me? Why are you doing this, Luis? Did you know what the doctor said then? The only way to cure Master is to bring Madam to him, bring them together. But why are you doing this? You're really crazy, Luis!!" Erick shouted in a rising voice.

Luis smiled. "But now what's the proof? You saw it yourself, didn't you? Master recovered and managed to get through those difficult times, he managed to overcome all his fears and regrets on his own without Madam's help. You see now, don't you? His attitude was much different. It would be another story if back then I immediately tell him about Madam's secret hideout, Erick."
