I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 543 - [Bonus ]Still Searching

Jack stared at his wedding photo with Anne for almost 30 minutes without saying a word. Anne's beautiful smiling face in the photo tormented him. After knowing the fact that Anne was not having an affair with Leon, Jack was completely destroyed. He cursed his stupid act of not thinking clearly at that time which had caused Anne to have a miscarriage.

"Are you not satisfied with punishing me, Anne? For three years, I have always regretted what I did that day. For these three years, I have always asked God to bring you back to me. How much longer must I live in this ruin, Anne? I'm sorry, Anne, forgive me." Jack was talking to himself while feeling Anne's beautiful face in the figure.

When he found out that the photos he received were fake, Jack was very sorry, especially when he found out that Anne was risking her life to protect their second baby after a miscarriage. Jack was completely devastated at that time. He didn't even want to talk to anyone and locked himself in his room until finally he had to be rushed to the hospital because he was unconscious due to dehydration after three days of eating and drinking nothing.

After returning from the hospital, Jack became a very quiet person. He did not want to talk to anyone, even to Erick and Nicholas, his two assistants. He locked himself back in his room, and every night Erick and Nicholas had to stand guard in front of Jack's room. This was done because they were worried that Jack would hurt himself after destroying all the things in the room. For the first month, every night Jack vented his anger by going mad in the room. In fact, he had to get stitches many times on his hands and feet that were hit by shards of sharp objects that he crushed. Countless times he apologized and called Anne's name every night. Jack's condition at that time made everyone afraid and worried. Luis, who had been cold all this time, even became restless when almost every night he heard Jack's screams from the room.

Luckily, Jack had two great assistants who handle all his work in the office. When he slumped like that for two months. Jack's condition only improved after the third month since Anne's departure. Luis managed to make Jack back into a sane human being. Luis taught Jack a lesson, he hit Jack on the leg without fear of being fired. What Luis did that night succeeded in bringing Jack to his senses, he managed to make Jack realize that he was a man who had to face reality, instead of lamenting the mistakes he had made like a coward.

After 6 months of searching for Anne and without success, Jack finally decided to move to Switzerland. He wanted to calm down while continuing to focus on searching for Anne. The decision of Jack who wanted to move to Switzerland was supported by Luis. He hoped that with Jack's move to Switzerland, his condition would be better. While looking for Anne in Luxembourg, Jack almost went crazy, because none of his men managed to find a trace of Anne's whereabouts. Even the private detectives he hired to look for Linda and Paul in England couldn't find the whereabouts of the husband and wife who disappeared shortly after Anne left. Jack was sure that Anne must be with Linda and Paul. However, his belief had never been proven, because Linda and Paul were also difficult to find. Even when the private detectives went to Linda's house in the village, they actually got a harsh reality where it turned out that Linda and her parents had not been in touch for almost a year. The tenuous relationship between Linda and her parents made the private detectives lost their chance to find out where Anne was.

They really lost track of Linda who disappeared as if she was being swallowed by the earth, because no one knew where she was now, just like Anne, who disappeared without a trace. Even though Jack had mobilized all his best people in the search, until now the whereabouts of Anne and Linda had not been known. Living in great guilt made Jack's personality change, he became terrible. Countless of Clarke Enterprise employees had been fired just for a minor mistake and his arrogant attitude earned him the nickname of a monster by the employees.

Drrttt

Jack woke up from his daydream when the cell phone he had placed on the table vibrated. With a bit of laziness, Jack received an incoming call which turned out to be from Erick.

"Speak."

"Sorry to bother you sir. There is currently Miss Sophia with her parents in front of your office. They want to meet you. We have tried hard to keep them from coming in and meeting you, but she still insists on seeing you," said Eric quickly.

Jack's jaw tightened. "Let them in, I wonder what they will do."

"Yes sir."

After Erick hung up the phone, suddenly the door to Jack's room opened and Sophie Higgins walked in with Robert and Hannah Higgins, her parents.

"Jack, you have to fire them. They're arresting me again, they really don't know who your fiancée is!" screamed Sophia loudly when she was inside Jack's room.

Hannah Higgins smiled. "Patience dear, you must be able to control your emotions."

"That's right, Sophia, you are Clarke's future mistress. You must be able to behave in front of your fiancé's subordinates." Robert joined in, chimed in with his wife Hannah's words.

Sophia folded her arms across her chest. "Still, I hate getting treated like this. After all, Erick should have known that I was his boss' fiancée. When we get married, you'll have to fire him, Jack, I don't like Erick. He's always been so annoying."

Hannah Higgins chuckled at the princess's words, as did Robert, who was fixing Sophia's hair. During the last 2 years, Sophia had indeed returned to the peak of fame, it was not difficult for Jack to make Sophia shine again.

Jack, who had been silently watching the Higgins' behavior in front of him, smiled. He then pressed a small button under his desk which made Erick and Nicholas enter his room.

"You... Why did you come in? Who gave you permission?!" Sophie rebuked arrogantly. She was not aware of her position.

After placing an envelope in front of his master, Erick immediately turned to Sophia. "Don't get your hopes up, Ms. Higgins."

"What do you mean?!!"

"What he meant was..."

"Erick."

Erick immediately stopped his words when he heard Jack's voice. He immediately looked down and walked backwards towards Nicholas, who was still standing quietly beside Jack's left.

"You lowly servant!" Sophia cursed in annoyance.

Jack thinned his lips hearing Sophia's words. "What do you want, Sophia?"

"Why are you asking me that, Jack? Weren't you the one who asked me to come? Didn't you say you were going to talk about our wedding when you got back to Luxembourg?"
