I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 298 - The Ring

With the power held by the Muller family, the plans made by Edmund and Robert Higgins ended up in vain. This was because all electronic media and print media that contain news of Robert and Hannah Higgins' statement about the Symphony of Life song which was claimed to belong to Sophia had taken down all the articles they previously released, even some electronic media made a clear announcement that they had made a big mistake because they supported a thief of the work of the original creator and took a lot of profit from it. Even though Robert Higgins said that the incident happened when Sophia was a child who didn't know anything, they still said that whatever Sophia and her family did was a big mistake that could not be tolerated. What's more, the act happened many years ago and if Sophia really wanted to apologize, she should have done it from the start. That was why song critiques and songwriters supported an organization to block Sophia Higgins from being able to perform and work again.

In his study, Edmund couldn't do anything when he saw all the attacks coming again on Sophia and her parents. He couldn't do anything because his access to get out and appear in public spaces was very small. Moreover, he was not part of the Higgins family and if he forced himself to come out, then the image he had just rebuilt would be shattered.

"How is this, son?" Johnny asked his son slowly. His eyes were still staring at the TV screen showing the protesters demanding the music label where Sophia was sheltered to boycott Sophia.

"I can't do anything, Dad. Everything we did yesterday was in vain. I'm sure there must be a big person driving all this. There's no way ordinary people can influence a lot of mass media to pull down the news like that again," said Edmund flatly. He looked very angry right now. Edmund was annoyed that the plan he had just devised had fallen apart before it was implemented.

Johnny took a deep breath. "I don't know why I suspect that the person behind all this is Jack, only he can do all this, son. You know how big his influence on mass media is."

Edmund nodded his head in response to his father's words. His hands were clenched into fists, showing how angry he was right now. "I think so, only that bastard is capable of managing the leaders of the mass media and print media in this country."

"Calm down kid, don't get carried away by your emotions. I'm sure Jack would be happy if you suddenly came to the surface to defend Sophia. We shouldn't be provoked by the bait he's throwing right now. The most important thing is that we secure ourselves first while looking for another way out. After all, the girl doesn't really matter, son. Isn't it better for you to just ignore her? There are many other women who are much prettier than that girl, especially since she is Jack's ex-fiancée. Are you okay with the ex-fiancee of the man who made us lost everything?"

Edmund's jaw clenched. His teeth were even clacking as they clashed. "Her name is Sophia Dad, not that girl. After all, what if she's Jack's ex-fiancée? After all, I'm a man who managed to get her chastity and I'm sure that jackass Jackson would be very angry if he found out about it."

"You and her..."

"Yeah Dad, Sophia and I love each other. And I swear I'll help her gain her popularity again." Edmund immediately cut his father's words quickly..

After saying that, Edmund then got up from his chair and immediately walked away, leaving his father who was still in his study. Without Edmund and Johnny's knowledge apparently behind the door, Sophia heard all the conversations between the father and son. At first, Sophia was very angry when she found out that her plan had failed, but after finding out that Edmund really loved her, now her spirit was burning again.

With a smile on her face, Sophia then left Edmund's study. She didn't want Edmund's father to know of her whereabouts. Sophia wanted to tell what she just heard to her father and mother who were still resting on the second floor. She now had another man that she could use to achieve her goal of destroying Jack and Anne. Her hatred for Anne was getting more and more intense at this time, especially after knowing that Jack actually had a relationship with Anne.

"If I can't become Mrs. Muller, then no one will be able to fill that position. Only I am worthy and I will not stop giving up until I manage to be in that position," said Sophia in a determined heart, even though Jack had refused but she hadn't stopped to get Jack.

< Muller Finance International, London >

Jack smiled when he saw the results of his subordinates' work in Switzerland. He was happy because what Sophia and her parents had done ended in nothing.

"It is certain that after this Miss Sophia's career will stop, sir." Erick reported back his work to Jack, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Good. I want you to continue to oversee all of this, Erick. Remember, I don't want to give her the slightest gap," asked Jack intimidatingly, as he didn't expect to get a rejection

"Okay sir, I understand," replied Erick politely.

After reporting his work, Erick resigned. He still had to do other work. His main job as Jack's representative at Muller Finance International in London required him to be smart in dividing his time between taking care of Jack's personal affairs and office matters. However, Erick never complained. He was happy to serve all of Jack's interests.

After Erick left, his trusted right-hand man, Jack suddenly felt lonely. He missed Anne, who was back at work today. Jack initially refused Anne's request to go to work, but because Anne continued to insist and gave many reasons, finally Jack could only agree. He then gave permission to Anne to work again in Leonardo Ganke's office, which he hated so much, as he was the man who had made it hard for Anne to trust other men, the first love in Anne's life and the first person to cut a wound in Anne's heart. That was why Jack hated Leon so much. Because indirectly, Anne remembered Leon more than himself, and Jack was aware of it.

Without waiting any further, Jack called Anne. He called her full of excitement, hoping that her face would appear on the screen soon. However, Jack's hope was only hope, because Anne even rejected the call by sending an automatic message saying that she was currently in a meeting with Leon's new assistant. Reading the message, Jack initially wanted to be angry, but after he thought for a long time, he finally tried to make peace with himself. He finally decided to continue his work, trying to get rid of his longing for Anne from his brain. And when Jack was looking at some files on his tablet which he was holding, suddenly Jack saw a photo of himself and Anne which was taken by accident by the CCTV camera at his house which he had deliberately set to capture certain moments during the night. Jack's eagle eyes caught something that tested his patience. At the moment, Jack was looking at the photo of Anne, who was standing on the stairs with a glass and on her ring finger there was no ring at all. The ring he had put on Anne's ring finger at the Naze tower.
