I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 527 - The First Clue

Mr. David Clarke's funeral ceremony was held on the same day. Even though it was night, but the funeral service was still carried out. Jack did not want his grandfather to be buried for too long, because after being prayed for and given his last respects at the church, finally Mr. David Clarke's body was taken to the Clarke family's private burial area which had existed for hundreds of years.

Mr. David Clarke's funeral was reported in almost all printed and electronic media in Luxembourg. Even journalists from several neighboring countries also flew directly to Luxembourg to cover it live. Jack, who was grieving, did not receive an interview from anyone. He refused to give information and again, Erick, together with Nicholas, were the ones who intervened the journalists. The two became spokespersons for the Clarke family, temporarily replacing Luis, who would normally represent Mr. David Clarke.

Jack had just left the burial area when the reporters who were hunting him were chased away by the bodyguards. In the car, he continued to stay silent, closing his eyes. Jack hoped that what he was going through was just a dream.

"Jack..."

"Don't bother me, Anne, I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone." Jack immediately cut off the words of Anne who just called her name.

Anne immediately closed her mouth tightly. Instantly, her hand that was already stretched out towards Jack was lowered and she squeezed her black knee-length dress tightly. Anne also refrained from saying her intention to ask Jack to stop the car again. She chose to sleep and hoped to arrive home soon.

After Anne closed her eyes, Jack turned to Anne. "I'm lucky to still have you, Anne. At least I'm not alone in this world."

Anne, who was asleep, did not hear Jack's words. She was really tired and Jack didn't want to disturb her. Because there was still a long way to go, Jack finally closed his eyes, which were sore from crying too much. After Anne and Jack slept, Nicholas increased the speed of his car a little so they could get home quickly. He couldn't bear to see his master and madam were sleeping in an uncomfortable position in the car.

After traveling for almost 45 minutes, finally the car driven by Nicholas arrived at the mansion. Erick, who wanted to wake up Jack, stopped his movements when he saw Anne opened her eyes.

"We've arrived, Madam," Erick said quietly to Anne, who was already awoke.

Anne looked at Erick with sad eyes. "We have arrived?"

"Yes, Ma'am, we just..."

Erick's words stopped when Anne suddenly opened the door on her left in a hurry, even Anne's movement finally woke Jack from his sleep.

"Sir."

Jack blinked his eyes. "What's wrong, Eric?"

"We have arrived, sir."

Jack was silent for a moment. He then adjusted his seat and turned to his empty left.

"The madam came down in a hurry, sir," said Erick quickly as soon as Jack looked at Anne's chair. He didn't want Jack to be angry.

"That's fast. That woman is really something."

Erick smiled. He immediately got out of the black limousine and immediately opened the door for Jack. Jack, who was actually not in the mood to get out of the car, was silent for a long while in the car. He took out his cell phone and saw a lot of incoming messages of condolences from coworkers on the death of his grandfather. When he was about to keep his cell phone, a message from a foreign number appeared.

"My condolences, Jack, may your grandfather rest in peace. I miss you, Jack. Sophia Higgins"

The message entered Jack's cell phone. He raised one eyebrow when he read the sender of the message. Without turning off his cell phone, Jack got out of the car and looked directly at Erick.

"What has Selma been doing for the past two years?" asked Jack coldly.

"Selma..."

Jack growled. "Sophia Higgins, the woman who injured my wife."

Erick immediately swallowed his saliva quickly. "Miss Higgins has now succeeded in retaining her good image and now has returned as a pianist, sir. For the past two years, her family has even often held charity activities. So the disgrace that Sophia Higgins did decades ago is slowly diminished and was not mentioned again by many, sir. Now she even ..."

"Even what?" Jack cut in quickly.

"Sophia Higgins is revered as the pianist with a golden heart. It seems Mr. Edmund Immanuel's plan to improve the woman's image has worked, sir."

Jack's jaw hardened. "Edmund."

"Yes, sir, several times they were caught on camera by the paparazzi while on vacation together. But when interviewed, both of them denied that they were involved in an intimate relationship. Both of them said they were only co-workers," said Erick again. While staying in Luxembourg, Eric didn't want to talk about Sophia Higgins as he didn't want to disturb the peace of his master. However, since the master was currently asking about Sophia Higgins, he couldn't help but tell the truth, though carefully, so as not to spoil the master's mood.

Jack was silent. He seemed to be thinking. "Find out how she knows my cell phone number, find out who the person who has dared to give my cell phone number to that woman."

Thump!

Erick's face turned pale.

"Straight away, sir."

Jack then stepped back towards the house, leaving Erick and Nicholas looking confused.

"Who is Sophia Higgins? Why does the young master hate her so much?" Nicholas asked innocently.

Erick slowly raised his head and looked at Nicolas who was standing beside him. "Sophia Higgins is Young Master's former fiancée, who was betrothed by his parents about 10 years ago or so, I forgot. For sure, she is a very evil woman, and one more thing, Sophia Higgins was a thief who stole Miss Anne's song."

"A song thief? She's a pianist, how come she stole a song? Is she actually a pianist or a singer?"

Erick took a deep breath. Talking with Nicholas indeed required extra patience. "Sophia Higgins is a professional pianist and she had admitted the song written by Miss Anne's late mother as her own song. Because of Sophia Higgins act, Miss Anne lost the opportunity to become a great pianist and chose to bury her talent in playing the piano forever."

Nicholas opened his mouth wide. He could not believe that the master's wife could play the piano. He really didn't expect that from the start, Jack and Anne were like a match made in Heaven, both of them were connected by the same person.

Remembering the task given by the master, Erick finally rushed into the house, leaving Nicholas who was still shocked. Erick had to work late again tonight even though he had not rested since morning. For Erick, Jack's orders were absolute, and that he must complete them as soon as possible, Erick forgot that he currently had additional tasks. The reason was that Alice was currently having her period, and usually when she did, she would be in pain which would make him troubled all night. Poor Eric!

When he entered the room, Jack was surprised to see Anne was sitting on the carpet with her head down, her hair and face looking wet.

"What's wrong with you, Anne?" Jack asked worriedly.

Anne slowly lifted her face and looked at Jack who was already squatting in front of her. "I think I have a stomach ulcer, I was starving in the car and when I got home I was very nauseous."

"Y-you have an ulcer?!"
