I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 703 – Pawn

Leon's arrival in Geneva was really greeted by Giselle like a king. The woman even jumped with joy when she saw Leon standing on the balcony of his hotel room.

"Sorry, I'm overreacting," said Giselle regretfully.

Leon chuckled. "It's okay. I'm just happy to have such a great welcome. Come on, sit down, I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about."

"Sure!"

Giselle immediately followed behind Leon, sitting on a chair in the living room. The hotel room that Leon booked was a presidential suite which had many luxurious rooms. Even in that room he could also have direct access to the helipad where the hotel's helicopter was ready to take him anywhere as one of the advantages of staying in the presidential suite.

"So what's your plan?" Giselle asked impatiently.

Leon smiled widely. "You really are a passionate woman, Miss Allen."

Bang!

Giselle hit the table in front of her with her clenched fists.

"Of course! I can't wait to find out about your grand plan to separate Jack from Marianne."

Leon chuckled. He was happy to have such a passionate partner like Giselle. Knowing that Giselle was impatient, Leon told Giselle his plan. While Leon was talking, Giselle didn't interrupt him at all. She looked very excited to hear Leon's words.

After thirty minutes of talking with Leon, Giselle finally made sure that this time she could bring Jack back to her, all the brilliant plans that Leon had devised made her once dashed hopes soar again.

"All we need to do is wait for the right moment. Believe me, Marianne is a very religious woman. If she had seen her husband sleeping with another woman, I'm sure she would have happily left her husband without a second thought. And when that happens, then I will come to Marianne like a hero, so Marianne will fall for me on her own. Now what we need to do is find a way how to trap Jack," Leon said at length, ending his evil plan to destroy Jack and Anne's marriage.

Giselle tossed her hair back. "Don't worry. Leave it to me for that matter. I will arrange the time to frame Jack. Since Jack has never refused when asked for help, so this matter is not a big deal for me, Leon."

"That's good. I don't think I was wrong to make you my business partner, Miss Allen. You're really great haha…"

Giselle laughed as well as Leon. Her eyes sparkled, showing how eager she was at this time to get Anne away from Jack's side. Her dream to be beside Jack like when she was still in school would be achieved. Giselle really didn't learn from Sophia Higgins who was crushed by Jack. When in fact Giselle knew what was currently happening to Sophia. The former idol was now living a simple life with her husband and parents after receiving punishment from Jack. Giselle was sure that Jack would never dare to do that to her, Giselle was very sure that Jack was still the same as before when they were still in school, Jack who always protected her in any situation. It was this belief that made Giselle dare to ally with Leon to destroy Jack's marriage. Giselle couldn't really tell the difference between true love and obsession.

The envy of unrequited love made Giselle lose her mind. She really couldn't wait to carry out Leon's brilliant plan. Although Giselle sneered at Anne, who was called obedient to God's teachings at first, but now she seemed to like Anne's hypocrisy. Giselle was sure that Anne was only pretending to be religious. Giselle's hands were tightly clenched on the table in a fiery spirit with eyes that continued to stare intently at Leon who was speaking.

"You'll be mine soon, Jack, I swear," Giselle said in a confident heart.

Leon himself seemed satisfied to see Giselle's enthusiasm. He was really just waiting for Giselle's action this time without having to jump right in. Even if Giselle failed in trapping Jack into her plans, his good name would be preserved. The suspect would still be Giselle as the executor, while he would just sit back and wait for the next move.

Giselle, who had been darkened by her ambition to get Jack, didn't realize that she was only being used by Leon. Her eyes were completely blinded by her obsession with Jack, a man who loved his wife and children, a man who almost went mad because of his mistakes who did not trust his wife's loyalty.

Meanwhile, Jack, who had just finished enjoying dinner with Anne, was sitting on the sofa alone. He was waiting for Anne, who was struggling with dirty plates from their meal, to join him.

"How much longer, babe?"

"It's done, wait just a minute."

Jack pursed his lips. He was annoyed at Anne who seemed to be deliberately stalling for time so they weren't making out. Anne herself, who wasn't done with her work yet, only laughed lightly at Jack's sulking attitude.

Annoyed, Jack then grabbed a small snack jar from the table and started to enjoy his own snacks without waiting for Anne. While he was enjoying the almond cookies, suddenly Jack's smart phone vibrated. With his left hand, Jack then reached for his cell phone to see who was calling him.

Immediately Jack put the jar containing his favorite snacks back on the table while reading the message Aaron sent from Korea. From the pantry, Anne narrowed her eyes when she saw Jack suddenly sat in a perfectly upright position.

Anne wrapped her arms around Jack's back. "What is it?"

"Sit down, don't come from behind like that," Jack answered quietly as he put his phone on the couch.

"You're so smart looking for opportunities," said Anne chuckling as she walked around the sofa to sit next to Jack.

As soon as Anne sat beside him. Jack then handed the phone to Anne. "Read the message Aaron sent."

"Hm? Aaron? What did Aaron send you to…"

Anne's words stopped when she read the message on her husband's cell phone. She even almost dropped the latest smart phone from the bitten apple brand if only Jack didn't snatch it up in time.

"W-who's body is that, Jack? It's in terrible condition," asked Anne stammering.

Jack cleared his throat softly. "That's the body of the woman who attacked me at the hotel that night. That woman was killed by the person who ordered her to hurt me, babe."

"Jesus!"

"And…"

"And what?" An impatient Anne immediately cut off her husband's words.

"And the mastermind behind this attack is Giselle Allen," Jack answered quietly.

"Oh my God!!" Anne screamed hysterically. She couldn't believe her husband's former secretary could do such a heinous thing.

Damn, it looked like Giselle had really become the victim of Leon's cunning evil this time.
