Chapter 594 - The Anger Of A Wife 1
Giselle was really speechless when she heard Anne's question. She didn't expect the woman she had previously badmouthed had appeared in front of her and was now making out with Jack, her first love, her first unrequited love.
Anne smiled triumphantly when she saw how pale Giselle's face was now. "I'm not angry with those words you said earlier, Miss Giselle. It's just that there are some parts that you should know that I am not a lowly woman who offers herself to someone's husband. I still have my pride for not doing that, unlike someone I know very well, who would do such a lowly thing to my husband."
Damn, 1 against zero for Anne!
"W-what do you mean talking like that, Madam." Giselle tried to avoid all the mistakes she had made before.
Anne chuckled at Giselle's words. She slowly let go of Jack's hand that was on her waist and walked over to Giselle who was four steps from where she was standing now.
When Anne had almost reached Giselle's place, the corner of her eye saw Giselle's blazer which was on the chair. Without thinking, Anne immediately grabbed the beautiful blazer and held it out to Giselle. "You know, Miss, sometimes the food that is still in the package tastes better and lasts longer. Unlike the food that is sold without packaging. I think you understand what I'm talking about, don't you?"
Damn, two against zero for Anne!
Giselle was speechless. The woman who used to be very talkative was now cornered. Her brain went blank. She was speechless in front of Anne, who was so calm. From where he stood, Jack just smiled. He didn't take his eyes off his wife who was now dealing with Giselle.
"Y-you set me up, you do this on purpose, don't you, Jack?!! You planned this, didn't you, Jack!!" Giselle screamed loudly, her chest rising and falling showing how angry she was right now.
"No, how could I set you up? I called you because I wanted to talk about your contract, which I want to end," replied Jack evasively.
Giselle laughed. "Don't fool me, Jack, I'm not a kid you can fool."
"I'm not lying, if I didn't intend to fire you, then how come there's a letter of termination of yours on this table in the first place, Giselle?" Jack replied back.
"Whatever you talk about, but I definitely refuse. I don't want to be fired like this. You can't kick me out of this company, Jack. Remember, two years ago you came to me, you begged me to help you take care of this company," said Gisell curtly bringing up the problem two years ago.
Hearing Giselle's words made Anne smile. She slowly took her smartphone from her pocket and drew closer to Giselle.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to quit. But I'm curious what you will do if all your words that were offering yourself to my husband spread widely. I've recorded everything you said earlier when you teased my husband, Giselle," whispered Anne softly right beside Giselle's ear. She tried to threaten Giselle.
"Y-you..."
"I can do whatever I want, Giselle. Remember I'm Clarke's legitimate wife. If I shared your voice recording, I'm sure there would be lots of women out there who would stand up for me. You do know how strong women are when they have united to defend the household? Think about it carefully. Moreover, you also have a company, don't you? I'm sure the customers who have been buying beauty products from your company will run away if they know that the daughter of the owner of the company is trying to ruin someone else's household. Are you ready to go bankrupt and live on the streets?" whispered Anne again, full of intimidation.
Giselle's whole body was shaking. Fear was clearly visible in her eyes at this moment. The words that Anne spoke really scared her. Going bankrupt and living in poverty were two things that Giselle was very afraid of. She didn't want to live like that anymore. She had suffered enough because he was bullied at school.
Seeing Giselle's very frightened condition made Jack remember the incident decades ago at school when she was humiliated by senior students. Because Jack couldn't bear it, he then approached Anne and gently patted her on the shoulder, giving the code to Anne not to intimidate Giselle again. Anne, who understood the code given by Jack, then nodded her head slowly with a smile.
"Go home, Giselle, think about your mistake. Actually, I can sue you for all your unpleasant words and actions earlier, but because I consider our friendship that has existed for a very long time, I choose not to prolong this matter," said Jack quietly, trying to cool the atmosphere, even though he didn't know what Anne said to Giselle, but Jack was sure that Anne must have said something very deep that made Giselle very scared like that.
Giselle was silent for a long time before she finally left in front of Jack and Anne with tears already flowing. Her letter of dismissal was also out of shape now because she just grabbed it when she walked away. Some of the other staff looked surprised when they saw Giselle, the haughty secretary left in tears from her room. After Giselle left her room, Erick went straight to Giselle's room to turn off Giselle's access to the company email. He had to do that to prevent problems in the future. Erick was sure that Giselle would not dare to come back to the office after being fired like that.
Seeing Giselle leave like that, Anne was actually not satisfied. She was still a little annoyed at the woman who had insulted her. Damn, that woman hadn't even apologized to Anne.
"Tell me, what have you told her to make her that scared, babe?" said Jack quietly.
Hearing Jack's words made Anne immediately wake up from her daydream. "What are you saying?"
"Wait, are you daydreaming?"
"A little, but it's not important. Okay, repeat your question earlier, I want to hear it," said Anne quietly, staring intently at Jack.
Jack smiled. He then wrapped his arms around Anne's waist. "What have you said to Giselle?"
"Why? Does it matter to you?" asked Anne coldly.
"It's not that, dear. I've known Giselle for a long time. She wouldn't act like she did if the words you said were too ..."
"Too spicy huh? Oh come on, Jack, the words I said to Giselle were nothing compared to all the insults she gave me. Didn't you hear firsthand all the cursing she gave me earlier?!!"
"Anne... please, don't be like this. Let's talk nicely, I ask you nicely, dear. Please, be cool. After all, I've already stopped Giselle right now. The problem is over, so don't make a fuss like this, I don't want us to fight, baby," said Jack quietly.
Anne immediately let go of Jack's hands, which was on her waist, roughly.
"Looks like you defend your best friend more than me. You take issue with what I said to her, but you're not angry with all her mean words to me. Whose side are you actually on, Jack?"
"Babe..."
"Never mind. I don't need your answer. Your words have answered all my questions. If you don't accept me warning your best friend, please go after her. Bring her back and make that woman your secretary again!"
After saying that, Anne then rushed out of the meeting room, leaving Jack alone. With quick steps, Anne ran towards Jack's room, intending to take Christian away. However, after seeing Christian was sleeping on Nicholas's lap, Anne couldn't bear to wake her son who looked very tired.
"Take care of my son, Nick," said Anne softly as she grabbed her bag from the table.
Nicholas was surprised. "Where are you going, Madam?"
"Looking for fresh air. It feels very tight here."
