I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 195 - Competing Fairly

Jack, who had a morning meeting schedule, handed over his duties to Erick and Alice to take care of Marissa and Kimberly Henderson. He had already informed his secretary and personal assistant that he owned Henderson family's company. At first, Erick and Alice were very surprised by Jack's words that he was the new owner of Henderson's company, but after Jack explained everything in detail, finally both Erick and Alice understood and carried out the procedure that Jack asked for.

"After Mr. Jack's personal lawyer has prepared everything then you can bring your father here to sign everything miss." Alice tried to explain the procedure for the acquisition of Henderson's company by Muller Finance International.

Marissa pursed her lips. A happy smile was formed on her face as she read the file that Alice, Jack's secretary, had shown her. With the purchase made by Jack, she would see Jack often, because her father still owns twenty percent of the stock.

"Ok, I'll take this file home to show my father. Do I need to see Mr. Jack again?" Marissa asked softly in a coquettish tone.

"You can't, Miss. He has an important meeting and has delegated everything to both of us. So for now, that is all, you can go home without meeting Mr. Jack," Erick immediately refused Marissa's request to meet Jack.

Marissa's disappointed face immediately became clear, and so did Kimberly. But because the two of them couldn't do much, in the end, they couldn't help but leave the Muller Finance International office for now, Marissa didn't want to make Jack hate her. That was why she chose to follow Erick's words and not make trouble.

Hugging the file that had been signed by Jack, Marissa came out of Erick's office. Her eyes tried to look at Jack who was indeed having a meeting in his office, but because Jack's office was closed, she couldn't see the handsome man clearly. Marissa only saw a bit of Jack's brown hair from the sidelines of the rolling blind.

"This way please, Miss," Alice said softly, guiding Marissa and Kimberly into the elevator.

"Thanks." Marissa answered Alice's words slowly with a pretentious grace. She and her sister acted like important guests of Muller Finance International in front of the employees of Muller Finance International. Even though everyone knew that the women who acted important in front of them right now were the ones who begged their boss to help her company.

"Be careful on the way, Miss," said Alice kindly as she escorted Marissa and Kimberly out of the Muller Finance International office.

Marissa's haughty smile widened. "You'll be calling me Mrs. Muller soon, Miss Alice, so maybe you can get used to calling me that from now on," Marissa answered quickly.

Alice only smiled faintly at Marissa's words. She didn't answer the woman's words because she didn't want to cause trouble. Because if she refuted the woman's words then she was afraid of a commotion, especially since it was still quite early and she didn't want to ruin her day because of this shameless woman. That was why she chose to remain silent and not speak.

"The one who the Boss likes is so chill, how could this woman ignored by the Boss to have so much confidence?" Alice said quietly as Marissa and Kimberly left the Muller Finance International office.

Erick, who heard Alice's words, just smiled. He then walked slowly towards Alice. "Ignore them, Alice, in the future there will be many women of their kind who will disturb our Boss. So you have to mentally be prepared from now on," Erick whispered flatly.

"It's not like that, Erick. I just hate women like them. Obviously, I see how Boss really likes Miss Anne, and as you can see, Miss Anne is calm, and acts as if nothing happened. But the two women who just left have the nerve to talk like that. She really has a lot of confidence of calling herself Mrs. Muller! I'm really upset," Alice answered at length full of emotion.

Erick laughed heartily at Alice's words. "That's the difference between a good woman and women who are ... well, you can judge for yourself. And remember, Alice, don't compare Miss Anne to any other woman. It's dangerous if Boss hears that. He really doesn't like Miss Anne to be compared to other women."

Alice nodded her head in response to Erick's words. Before long, she went back into the office to continue her work with Erick. The acquisition of Henderson's company would increase her workload.

Meanwhile, in his office, Aaron was trying to find out what Jack was really doing in England. He asked his best men to find out about Muller Finance International at its headquarters in Switzerland.

Daniel, who had been sitting on the sofa in front of his laptop since morning to find out about the Muller Finance International office in Switzerland, looked very serious. He didn't seem to take his eyes off the laptop at all, until finally he read the news of the dispute over the use of Muller's name for Edmund, Jack's cousin, who was apparently trying to claim inheritance rights of the giant Swiss finance company.

"Boss, check this out," Daniel asked quietly as he handed his laptop to Aaron who was sitting in his chair.

Without much question, Aaron then read the article shown by Daniel. He looked very serious reading the article. Even to the point of rereading it twice for fear of reading it wrong.

"Johnny and Edmund Muller, were finally not allowed to use Muller's last name again by the court after it was proven that they were not part of the Muller family. They are strangers and not part of the Muller family forever. Therefore, the shareholders of Muller Finance international decided to withdraw their support for Edmund Hopkins and back in favor of Jackson Patrick Muller as the only Muller family that still exists as the official CEO of Muller Finance international that exists in Switzerland." Aaron read slowly the gist of the article he was reading. A faint smile etched on his handsome face.

"There are more and more people who don't know themselves in this world," Aaron said quietly.

"What do you think about this, Boss?" Daniel asked Aaron quietly.

"I can't say much, Daniel, because this is Jack's business with these people. I don't want to get involved in their problems, because I know what it's like to fight for family property when someone else is trying to take it. I want to compete fairly with Jack to get Anne," Aaron answered quietly as he closed the article he had just read.

Daniel smiled at Aaron's words. He didn't expect Aaron to be that manly against a Jack.

"The most important thing right now is to find out what the plan is. I don't want to make it easy for him to achieve his goal, because if that happens it will be a big problem for Connery Corporation. I don't want to borrow funds from him to continue the company, Daniel. Of course, you should remain wary of Muller Finance International," said Aaron quietly. So far, he had been avoiding debt to any company because he didn't want to cause problems in the future. That was why he tried to finish all his projects properly so that the funds he spent on the project returned to him quickly.

Connery Corporation was the only property development company that had never owed any funding company for any of its projects, which was why Aaron was expected to be the CEO of the year, as he was able to set a good example for other entrepreneurs for two consecutive years.

"I'm going to make the Connery Corporation even bigger than before, so Jack can't touch me." Aaron muttered under his breath as he clenched his fists. He felt a little disturbed by the existence of the finance company at this time.
