I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 344 - Clarke Family's Dark Secret 3

Mr. David Clarke was still in the living room remembering the events that have passed 2 years ago. He still didn't expect to find another grandson when his favorite grandson died in a car accident.

"Even after 2 years, I haven't been able to find the mastermind behind Alan's death. I feel guilty for Alan and my son Calvin," said Mr. David Clarke quietly after reading an article about the news of the death of Calvin Muller and his wife who died a few years ago in a car accident.

Mr. David Clarke's feelings of regret were even greater when he remembered the incident decades ago where his only son, Calvin Clarke, chose to go with his wife Megan, because he refused to marry one of his business partners' daughter. Calvin and Megan eloped and continued to hide from the pursuit of their biological father, Mr. David Clarke, who still had not given up wanting to match Calvin, until finally Mr. David let Calvin and Megan live together as long as they gave up the child that was being conceived by Megan. At first, Calvin and Megan did not agree to Mr. David's request, but after a long consideration, Calvin finally agreed to hand over their baby to his father. Unbeknownst to Mr. David Clarke, it turned out that the unwanted daughter-in-law was pregnant with 2 male twins. Calvin Clarke reluctantly handed over his first son to his father and in exchange he got a very large amount of money to use as venture capital. At that time, Mr. David Clarke was very happy because he got a very handsome baby boy from his only son, without knowing that the baby being cared for turned out to have a twin brother.

After handing over their first son to their father, Calvin Clarke and his wife Megan and their second baby, whose whereabouts were hidden from their father, went to Switzerland to start a new life. In that country, Calvin changed his name to Calvin Muller and founded a funding company called Muller Finance International, with a nearly bankrupt businessman named Drew Smith Muller whom he considered as his father. Calvin used his adoptive father's surname to replace Clarke's surname. He decided to change his surname because he was too hurt by his father, who chose to expel him just because he married Megan, who was just an ordinary lawyer with an ordinary background, unlike the woman Mr. David Clarke chose for him.

"If I had known Calvin and Megan were living happily in Switzerland, I would have gone to them and apologized for all the mistakes I've done in the past, Luis," said Mr. David Clarke quietly.

"I'm sure Mr. Calvin and Miss Megan must have forgiven you, sir, no matter how angry a child is to his parent, they certainly will not hate his parent. Just like you, who still really hope for the return of Mr. Calvin and Miss Megan to this house," Luis replied with a smile quickly. As the personal assistant of Mr. David Clarke who was very trusted, Luis knew how much he missed his only child and daughter-in-law. That was why Mr. David Clarke really spoiled his only grandson, Alan.

Mr. David Clarke closed his eyes slowly as he looked up at the ceiling of his study. "I don't know if Calvin and Meghan forgave me or not, Luis, not even until their death. If I could turn back time, I would like to go back to 30 years ago and fix all my relationships with Calvin and Megan."

Luis approached his master and gently patted his shoulder. "Don't regret what has happened, sir, look at how beautiful God's plan is for you. God brought young master Jack in your life for sure to fix all the mistakes that have happened in the past, sir, so don't ever regret everything that has passed. I'm sure now young master Alan is happy with his parents whom he has never met in his life up there, and so is young master Jack who is now with you. Trust me, this has all been beautifully planned by Him."

Mr. David Clarke shed tears as he listened to the words of his personal assistant. He was really very happy and sad at the same time. When he found out that Jack was his biological grandson, he had to accept the fact that Alan, his beloved grandson, whom he had been caring for lovingly for decades, had actually died, due to a car accident that happened to him 2 years ago. Just a few days before Luis brought Jack's DNA results, Mr. David Clarke was met by some very honest police officers. They came to meet Mr. David Clarke and told him about the findings of the skull they got in the lake where Alan Knight Clarke's car accident occurred 2 years ago. From the results of their investigation, it was found that the bones they got really belonged to Alan Knight Clarke, which meant at that time, Alan actually died on the spot.

Because the scene of the fatal accident was very steep and difficult to access by large vehicles, it took the police a long time to comb the lake where Alan's car fell. And after almost a year, they finally found the bones in the lake and carried out an examination of the bones to determine whether they really belonged to Alan Knight Clarke. And after a long examination, the result surprisingly stated that the bones were indeed Alan Knight Clarke, based on the DNA match taken from Mr. David Clarke as the only family.

Even though he already knew that his favorite grandson had died, Mr. David Clarke asked the police officers who participated in the secret operation to search for Alan on his orders to remain silent to the public, and pretended not to know that the present Alan Knight Clarke was now Alan's twin brother, Jack. At first, the police did not believe that Jack was Alan's twin brother. But after seeing Jack, who was very similar to Alan, who had above average good looks, they finally believed that Jack was Alan's twin brother. Mr. David Clarke asked the police to continue investigating the accident that killed his grandson, he was very sure that his favorite grandson must have died not because of his own fault, but because of someone's sabotage. And the police who found Alan's bones agreed. They continued to investigate the accident case secretly without telling anyone. There were only 4 people who knew and were involved in the operation, and these four police officers were orphans who excel in their school financed by the Clarke family foundation for many years until they become police officers. That was why Mr. David Clarke trusted them so much.

"Do you want to tell this secret to young master Jack, sir?" asked Luis suddenly interrupting Mr. David Clarke's thoughts.

"It's not time yet, Luis, let Jack stays as Alan. I don't want to suddenly tell him this. You do remember what the doctor said, right? He can't get shocking news out of the blue, especially since we've been giving away Alan's memories to him. So, automatically what he remembers in his memory is Alan's memory. I've lost Alan, I don't want to lose Jack again, Luis," answered Mr. David Clarke quickly.

"I understand, sir, I guarantee you this secret will be kept tightly until the perpetrators of the crime that caused Mr. Alan's death are caught and get the punishment they deserve," said Luis in a trembling voice. He was one of the people who was very devastated when he found out the young master really already dead.

Mr. David Clarke had tears in his eyes again. "If this is a form of punishment from God to me I'm ready to accept it, to grow old and die alone. But if I have to watch my descendants die one by one, it hurts so much, Luis, please protect Jack as much as you can. I'm sure the villain who killed Jack is still alive, and is not satisfied and now he is definitely targeting Jack, thinking that he is Alan. I am willing to give all my money to keep Jack, my last flesh and blood, safe."
