I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 509 - The Arrival Of An Old Friend

The news of Roger committing suicide immediately became headlines in various mass media. Roger was also considered a coward who did not dare to take responsibility for his actions, who had been proven to have planned the murder of Alan Knight Clarke two years ago. Meanwhile, Ivan Douglas immediately went crazy after seeing with his own eyes when his beloved son shot a gun to his own head. Ivan continued to laugh alone in the cell and kept mentioning Roger's name to any man who came to his cell. Since Roger Douglas died with the status of a suspect, there was no big funeral ceremony for him. There was only a priest who prayed for a few moments before finally he was being buried without the presence of his father, who had been transferred to a mental hospital after trying to bang his own head against the bars.

From inside the car, Jack saw the funeral procession of Roger Douglas, even though the man was the one who had killed his twin brother and almost harmed him as well, but still, Jack came to pay his respects to him as a fellow human being.

"May God forgive all your sins, Roger," said Jack quietly as he watched Roger's coffin sink into the ground.

Erick and Nicholas could only be silent when Jack spoke. Actually, they both didn't want to come to Roger's funeral, but because Jack forced both of them to obey and accompany him to the funeral, they then complied.

"Let's go home, sir, it's getting late," Erick said quietly, breaking Jack's thoughts.

"Take me to Alan's grave. There's something I want to talk to him about."

Erick and Nicholas immediately looked at each other. "To Master Alan's grave?" Erick reaffirmed Jack's words.

"Yes, I want to meet my twin brother."

Without another word, Nicholas stepped on the gas pedal and headed for the Clarke family's private cemetery which was in a private area belonging to the Clarke family. The Clarke family's predecessors were also buried in that place, except for Calvin Muller and his wife Megan, who were buried in Switzerland. After traveling for almost 30 minutes, finally the car driven by Nicholas arrived at the cemetery that was very well maintained. Even though it was getting late, but the place was still very bright because of the many lights installed in the place.

"You guys wait in the car, I'll be just a minute."

"Yes sir." Erick and Nicholas answered in unison.

After saying that, Jack got out of the car and entered the graveyard alone. His arrival was greeted by the caretaker of the Clarke family cemetery, who lived not far from the cemetery area. Although the burial area was hundreds of years old, but there was not the slightest impression of horror. Jack's steps stopped at a new tomb that had a large cross-shaped headstone with a photo of Alan Knight Clarke taken the last time before he was declared dead.

"Hi bro, I'm here again. I hope you don't get tired of seeing me keep coming in the last 3 days. Actually, I really hope that we don't meet under these conditions. Now you can rest easy up there, because the person who caused you to die has already paid the karma they have done. I hope if you meet him up there, you have forgiven that person. I envy you, now you can gather with Mommy and Daddy and the rest of our family, while I am here alone with Grandpa, I sincerely pray for you, my brother. Rest in peace! See you again at the appointed time of God."

After saying that, Jack then placed a necklace with the name Alan Knight Clarke engraved on it, which he accidentally found in his room moments after he woke up from his illness two years ago. With a sigh of relief, Jack then left his twin brother's grave to get into the car and head home. Jack didn't want to be late for home again. He had to talk to Anne, he had been ignoring Anne for almost a week and tonight he intended to make things right. He missed Anne too much.

However, Jack's expectations did not match reality, because at his house there was currently a guest whose presence he did not want at all.

"Aaron Sean Connery."

Everyone who was sitting in the living room immediately turned to Jack, who had just entered the house, including Aaron whose name had just been called by Jack. Aaron immediately got up from his chair and ran to Jack. Without hesitation, Aaron immediately hugged Jack tightly.

"Thank goodness, Jack, I'm really glad that you're okay. You have no idea how sad I was when I heard the news," Aaron said sincerely as he hugged Jack.

Jack smiled, then patted Aaron on the back. "I'm fine, Connery, I can't leave this world and let you succeed on your own."

Aaron hit Jack hard on the back when he heard Jack's joke which he didn't think was funny. He slowly released his arms from Jack and glared at his rival. "I think even the god of death would have a hard time dealing with an annoying person like you, Jack."

Jack chuckled. "How are you, Connery? During these 2 years you must have been much better right?"

"Of course, since there were no bullies like you, my company thrives," Aaron replied jokingly.

"You bastard! Haha... Thank you for coming. Did you come alone? I didn't see your assistant, Mr Perfect Daniel."

Aaron's face reddened. He then slightly shifted away from Jack. "That's Rose, my fiancé. I came with her from Portugal."

"Portugal?"

"Yes, Rose is the daughter of Portugal's Defense Minister, Gregorio Joseph," Aaron answered slowly, introducing Rose's identity.

Jack was silent. He then turned to Aaron. "You're engaged to the daughter of the Portuguese Minister of Defense? Wow congrats, Aaron!!!" Jack immediately hugged Aaron tightly. All the annoyance in Jack's heart immediately disappeared when he heard Aaron's words. Jack was sure that this time Aaron would not dare to interfere with his relationship with Anne again, because no one would want to get into trouble with a defense minister of a country as strong as Portugal.

Seeing Jack hugged Aaron made Anne smile, as did Rose, who stole glances at Anne several times. When she first saw Anne 20 minutes ago, Rose was immediately hypnotized by Anne's beauty. She had felt insecure about Anne. However, thanks to Aaron's support, she finally regained her confidence and was not worried that Aaron would be tempted by Anne again after he saw the large photo of Anne's wedding hanging in the living room.

Mr. David Clarke, who had been talking to Aaron earlier, then asked Jack to have dinner. They all had not dined because they were waiting for him to come home.

"Why did you have to wait for me, Grandpa?" protested Jack annoyed as he pushed his grandfather's wheelchair.

"Since you are the head of the family, how could we leave you out of dinner?" replied Mr. David Clarke jokingly.

"Grandpa!!"

Mr. David Clarke chuckled, and soon they arrived at the table that had been prepared. Jack sat next to Aaron, because Anne chose to sit next to Alice and Rose. Although he didn't like it, Jack finally relented. He didn't want to spoil the dinner with seating problems.

Alice, who had been watching Anne since earlier, felt that there was something wrong with Anne, because she didn't usually sweat so much.

"Are you all right, Anne?" Alice asked softly.

Anne smiled. "I'm fine."
