I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 423 - The Monster Isn't Jack

Anne stopped in her tracks when she heard someone called her name. Although it was faint, she was sure that it was her name.

"I was caught this early." Anne thought quietly as she closed her eyes quickly.

Anne tried to cover up her fear. She then straightened herself back up to quickly leave the place. But suddenly there was a large hand gripping her shoulder. Her body immediately stiffened again when she realized that what was on her shoulder was a man's hand.

"Miss..."

"No, don't force it..."

Anne couldn't finish her words because the owner of the hand that touched her made her turn around. She almost screamed when she was treated like that. However, when she saw the figure who stopped her, Anne's heart immediately beat 10 times.

"Miss..."

"Erick!!!!"

Anne loudly shouted the name Erick, Jack's assistant, whom she knew very well.

Receiving such a reaction from Anne, the woman whom his master loved, Erick smiled with emotion. He could feel a deep sadness for Anne.

"What are you doing here, Miss?"

Immediately, Anne's tears flowed when she heard Erick's question. Her voice was caught in her throat and made her unable to speak.

"Miss, what exactly..."

"Help me, Erick, please take me to London." Anne immediately cut off Erick's words quickly.

Eric smiled. "Yes Ma'am. After this event is over tomorrow, I will actually go to London."

"No, Erick, tonight. Let's go back to London tonight," said Anne quickly.

"But I still have a lot of work to do in this city, Miss, and so I'm..."

Bam!

Anne immediately knelt before Erick. Stunned, the man was unable to finish his sentence.

"Miss, what are you doing?" Erick shouted in surprise as he tried to get Anne up from the ground.

Anne looked at Erick who was kneeling in front of her. Her lips trembled against all her fear of Alan. "I'm going to die if you don't take me back to London as soon as possible, Erick sob."

Erick's eyes widened. He was very surprised to hear Anne's completely unexpected words. His hand slowly reached out and wanted to touch Anne's shoulder, but a loud scream from a woman who called his name made him stopped his action.

"Erick, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling like that? Mr. Antonio is looking for you," the woman said quickly without pause.

Erick, who was still kneeling in front of Anne, did not respond to the private secretary's words. He was still curious about Anne's last words.

"Erick, can you hear me? What are you doing kneeling on... Huh? Anne...! You're Anne, aren't you?!" Alice shouted loudly when she managed to see the figure in front of Erick.

"Y-yes, Alice, it's me."

Alice immediately rushed to Anne. She knelt down and immediately hugged Anne tightly, releasing her great longing for Anne.

"Sorry, Alice, I'm sorry. At that time I just left, I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye. I'm sorry for being selfish, Anne, I'm sorry."

Anne didn't utter a word while in Alice's arms, she was so happy she couldn't speak. The only thing she wanted to do right now was cry to pour out all the pain inside her with someone she knew. Anne's crying voice was so heartbreaking, it made Erick feel very guilty. He was sure that Anne would be very disappointed in him. His guilt was even greater for leaving Anne just like that two years ago.

The bodyguards who had been searching in panic for him, who had suddenly disappeared, had now stopped behind him with gasping breaths. They were really panicked because they couldn't find their master.

"Miss Alice, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling on the floor?" asked a black bodyguard in a rising voice, when he saw Alice was hugging someone on the floor.

Erick took a deep breath, his chest tight with guilt. "Alice is with Madam."

"Madam?"

"Mr. Jack Muller's wife."

Instantly, the faces of the bodyguards paled when they heard Erick's words. Those who also knew Anne immediately looked at Anne, who was still lowering her face in Alice's arms.

"Let's get out of this place, sir," said the black bodyguard again after realizing from his shock.

"Oh right, I almost forgot. Let's go to the car," Erick answered briefly.

The bodyguards immediately moved in two groups. The first group escorted Erick to the car and the second group guided Alice and Anne from behind. Alice didn't let go of Anne's arms because she couldn't bear to see Anne who was still crying. She was sure that Anne must be very sad and hurt, that was why she didn't want to let her go.

Luckily, Erick had gone to that place with a limousine, so they could sit comfortably in the car. Even though everyone had gotten into the car, they couldn't leave the place yet because the road was still jammed.

"Anne, I'm sorry. Sorry if I just left at that time, I didn't mean to leave you alone in London. Erick and I had to take care of the company from the people who took advantage of the accident. So we didn't get to say goodbye to you, I'm sorry, Anne. We're both very sorry. We really don't have any bad intentions, Anne," Alice sobbed softly, apologizing to Anne sincerely, her hands gripped Anne's hands tightly.

Anne shook her head. "I know you guys must be busy with the company. I understand that, Alice, you don't have to apologize like that."

"No, Ma'am, we should have taken you back to Switzerland at that time. After all, you have the rights over everything in Switzerland because you and master are bound by marriage." Erick immediately replied to Alice's words.

Anne looked at Erick with teary eyes. Being reminded with her relationship with Jack was breaking her even more.

"Anne, don't cry anymore. I really can't see you crying like this," Alice said quickly as she wiped the tears from Anne's eyes that were streaming down her face.

"I-I really want to disappear from this world right now, Alice."

"Don't talk like that, Madam, believe me, Master will come back. I'm sure of it, so don't despair, Madam. All you have to do now is…"

"Give me your cell phone, Erick." Anne immediately cut off Erick's words quickly.

Without arguing, Erick handed his cell phone to Anne. Alice, who was sitting next to Anne, was silent when Anne asked for Erick's cell phone, which in fact had become her lover. Alice still had great respect for Anne as Jack's woman, her master.

Shortly after, Anne handed her cell phone to Erick. "Take a good look at that Erick."

Erick received his cell phone back and was confused when he saw the photo that Anne had just shown him.

"Why are you pointing the master's photo, Madam? What are you going to..."

"Alan, Alan Knight Clarke. That's the name of the man," said Anne quickly interrupting Erick's words.

Erick was silent for a while hearing Anne's words. He slowly smiled and looked at Anne with respect.

"How can it be, Madam, I am a person who is very close to Master for many years. How could I not recognize my own master? Moreover, this is clearly a photo of Mr. Jack. How can you say that this person's name is Alan?"

"I-I'm serious, Erick, he's Alan, not Jack. At first, I also thought that he was Jack, but after getting to know him, I'm sure this monster isn't Jack," said Anne hysterically.

"But how can it be, Madam? The man in this photo is clearly Master. There's no way this man is someone else, just look at him, Alice. Is this man really Master or not…?"

"He's a monster, Erick, he raped me. It's... it's impossible for Jack to do that..."
