I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 555 - Forgive Us

Anne woke up after sleeping for almost four hours. Crying had completely drained her energy.

"Looks like I've been sleeping too long and it's Jack's fault, that annoying bastard! It's good that he came suddenly and said he wanted to take Christian. After kicking me and making my life in trouble, now he wants to take the child I raised so hard, you're a heartless man!" Anne grumbled. She remembered everything that had happened that afternoon before she finally cried herself to sleep.

Anne got out of bed and sat down in front of her dressing table. Her eyes were swollen from crying and it was all Jack's fault. After three years of never crying, this was the first time that Anne was crying hysterically. Currently, Anne was not a woman who was afraid of being betrayed by her husband. Now she was a mother who was afraid to be separated from the child she fought for with her life. That was why when Jack said he wanted to take Christian away, Anne immediately reacted. Life without Christian meant death for her, so Anne tried her best to keep her other life from being snatched away from her again.

After making sure her eyes didn't look swollen anymore, Anne went downstairs to the first floor. She was hungry, this morning she didn't have time to eat because she was disturbed by Jack.

"It's so quiet, where is everybody?" Anne murmured softly when she realized there was no one on the first floor. She could not find the whereabouts of Linda, Paul and Christian.

Immediately, Anne's body reacted. She quickly reached for the cell phone in her pocket to call Linda.

"Come on, Linda, pick up, Linda… sob… where are you? Christian, where's my son? Oh Linda…"

Once, twice, five times she tried to call Linda, but none of her calls were through. Anne got even more panicked!

After taking a deep breath, Anne finally decided to contact Paul, only to find the same result. She called him four times but no one answered. Now she became really panicked. Moreover, there was no sign of Christian at home, even his favorite milk bottle had disappeared from its place. Anne was so sure Christian had been taken away. With tears in her eyes, Anne went up to her room again. She planned to take her bag and wallet before leaving. Soon, Anne had returned to the first floor and was surprised to see many foreign men in her house.

"W-who are you guys?"

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Clarke." The ten people greeted Anne in unison.

"Who is Mrs. Clarke? My name is Anne. I have nothing to do with Mrs. Clarke you mentioned, so now you better leave before I report you all to the police because you have entered other people's house without permission!" said Anne loudly, trying to expel the uninvited guests.

"Sorry, Madam, but we were ordered to come to this place by Mr. Clarke to help you get ready," answered one of the women carrying a makeup bag in her hand quickly.

Anne raised one eyebrow. "Help me get ready? What do you mean? I don't understand, I'm not going anywhere anyway, so what should I prepare for?"

"If you don't want to go, why would you carry a bag like that, Madam." Suddenly Erick came and interrupted their conversation.

Anne immediately turned her head, staring at Erick without blinking. "What does all this mean, Eric?"

Eric smiled. "You will know if you cooperate, Madam."

"Don't be silly, Erick, I want to get straight to the point. Tell me, what is this and where is my son?"

Instead of answering Anne's question, Erick took out his cell phone and pointed it at Anne. At first, Anne was not interested, but when she heard a familiar laugh, she immediately turned to look at the cell phone that Erick was holding.

"Christian! Where are you taking my son!!" cried Anne, starting to panic.

Erick lowered his cell phone and put it back in his shirt pocket. "Young Master is currently with Master at Codona's Amusement Park. Paul and Linda are with them as well."

"Codona's Amusement Park!"

"That's right Madam, Master has already rented the entire place to be used to play with Young Master," Erick replied back with a smile.

Anne was silent. She couldn't say anything more after hearing Erick's words explaining that Jack had rented a playground to satisfy Christian.

"But why Paul and Linda..."

"They were invited by Master directly, so you don't have to worry," Erick immediately cut Anne's words quickly.

"This is called kidnapping, I will report this to..."

Anne's words stopped when the cell phone in her pocket rang loudly. As she had been waiting for news from Linda and Paul, she immediately grabbed her cell phone and was surprised when an anonymous number called her.

"We were having fun at Codona's Amusement Park, you should do the same, Mommy. See you tonight!" A voice that Anne had memorized was speaking aloud, the voice of Jack laughing happily. Anne could faintly hear Christian's voice behind her.

Before Anne had time to answer Jack's words, the call was suddenly disconnected.

"Erick..."

"Yes Madam, it was Master who just contacted you," Erick replied with a smile.

"But how can he... Arghh Linda!!!"

Eric shook his head. "No, Madam, this has nothing to do with Linda or Paul. Master got your cell phone number directly from your florist's social media account which includes your personal number."

Anne immediately bit her lower lip firmly. She cursed her unrelenting lie. Anne forgot to delete her cell phone number from her florist's social media account.

"Okay, Madam, according to Master's orders, it's better for you to cooperate with us. We have to help you get ready," Erick said again interrupting Anne's daydream.

Anne looked at Erick sharply. "Since earlier you said you wanted to help me get ready, where are you taking me? I can't possibly go when my son is being kidnapped, Erick."

"They're enjoying some quality time together as father and son, Madam. So this can't be called a kidnapping."

"You really are as annoying as your goddamn boss, Erick," said Anne annoyed.

Eric smiled. "I'm sorry, Madam, I was just carrying out orders."

Anne turned her gaze to the ten strangers who had been staring at them both. She then looked back at Erick with an unfriendly look.

"Go, Erick, I want to rest. Dealing with you makes me tired," said Anne coldly.

"You can rest comfortably in a moment, Madam, so come with us," Erick replied with a smile.

"I don't want to go anywhere, Erick... I don't want to come with you, this is my house and you guys have to leave here. I'm not coming with you!!"

Erick took a deep breath. He then gave the code to the two female bodyguards to do their job. Seeing two women coming to her, Anne panicked. She tried to go up the stairs to go up to the second floor, but her movement was not as fast as the two female bodyguards who were already holding her hands.

"Let go..."

"Sorry, Madam, we were just carrying out orders. So please cooperate."

"Eric!!!"

Eric shook his head. "Sorry Madam, you know I can't fight Master. Please forgive me."

"Ahh... Damn you, Jack!!!"
