I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Wearing her bathrobe, Anne sat on the sofa staring at the television screen that was broadcasting the news of Leon, Edmund, and Johnny Immanuel's arrest. The charges against them were also quite heavy, especially with the many demands brought by Muller Finance International's personal lawyers, who had not left the police station since.

"Here," said Jack softly as he handed a glass of wine to Anne.

Anne smiled and accepted the wine that Jack had given her. Anne was able to enjoy a little alcohol with a note that she only drank in front of Jack. It should not be in front of other people or with other people, because Anne's body's tolerance for alcohol was not very good.

Jack downed the wine that was in his glass until the toilet. "Finally, the pests got where they should be."

Anne smiled. "Are you sure they're going to jail?"

"You doubt me?"

"No, I'm just asking. Both Leon and your uncle and cousin are not good people, I'm sure they will use all means to get away from this case."

Jack pursed his lips and poured some more wine into his already empty glass. "Not this time, I'm sure they will be in prison for a very long time." Jack's eyes were still on the television which showed everything that was happening at the police station. Even from the television, Jack could see Erick and Luis who were sitting next to his personal lawyer.

Anne took a deep breath to disguise the dizziness that suddenly hit her head. It seemed that her body wasn't in good shape at the moment. Even though Anne had only drunk one glass, her head reacted immediately. Anne was sure this had something to do with what happened yesterday when she went crazy when she knew Christian was being targeted by the criminals ordered by Edmund and Leon.

"Are you okay, Anne?" Jack asked quietly when he saw Anne was already lying on the bed.

"My head hurts. I think the effect of the wine hit me."

Jack immediately put the glass on the top of the table and walked towards Anne on the bed. His steps stopped when he saw Anne's feet were still wearing gauzes with antibiotic nets to cover the wounds. Jack already knew Anne was injured. Doctor Leo had informed him of the matter this morning as soon as he treated Anne.

"Then go to sleep, but wait. Have the wounds on your legs been replaced with new antibiotic nets?"

Anne shook her head slowly, the pain that shot through her head made her unable to open her lips to answer Jack's question. Seeing Anne's answer made Jack immediately get out of bed, looking for a first aid kit. Soon, Jack returned with special equipment for minor injuries like Anne's. He carefully opened the antibiotic net that had been placed on Anne's leg along with the gauze that had wrapped it.

Like a professional, Jack cleaned and put on new antibiotic nets to help heal the wounds on Anne's legs in a fairly short time, the gauze was also wrapped around the soles of Anne's feet, which were injured from yesterday's run.

"I promise, this is the last wounds you'll ever have, honey," Jack said softly as he kissed the back of Anne's sleeping hand.

Anne didn't respond. It seemed that the alcohol she drank a little had made her fall asleep. Jack accidentally saw that there were tears flowing from the corners of Anne's eyes.

"It's over, baby, everything is over. Steffi has got what she deserves for everything she did, and now Leon will also be responsible for everything. You don't have to cry anymore, dear. After this our family will be happy again forever with our children." Jack whispered right in Anne's ear when he had cleaned his wife's tears before he finally got out of bed because he didn't want to hurt Anne.

It seemed that the damn alcohol wasn't the only thing that intoxicated Anne. Jack's whole body was in action, hot, churning for Anne this moment, this very second. But Jack's sanity still remained, so he preferred to get out of their already hot room to go to the bathroom to cool off.

Erick smiled when all the evidences he brought from the hotel room where Steffi was staying was useful. Neither Leon nor Edmund and his father could deny them. Steffi actually managed to steal all important data belonging to Leon which contained his cooperation agreement with Edmund Immanuel in an effort to bring down Jack and seize Muller Finance International. Now, Erick was thinking hard. How did that woman get all the important files like this?

Luis, who had just signed the lawsuit against the three people, then approached Erick. "Let's go home. We must report this happy news to Master."

"I still can't figure it out, Luis."

"Why? Anything else on your mind?"

Eric nodded slowly. "The files from Steffi's laptop, I wonder how she got them all without leaving anything behind. It's highly unlikely that outsiders could steal this file unless..."

"Unless they're in cahoots, I see?" Luis interrupted quickly.

"Yes."

Luis chuckled hearing Erick's words. Actually, what Erick said was not wrong. Because other people would think that Steffi was still on Leon's side until she was found dead. If only Anne didn't say she was communicating with Steffi and that they were discussing all the evil plans that Leon had and would be done with Edmund and Johnny Immanuel.

"Steffi was still the wife of Leonardo Ganke until she died, so it's very easy for her to follow her husband wherever he goes. Even by showing proof that they are husband and wife, Steffi can get the spare key to Leon's hotel room very easily, you understand here?"

Erick nodded his head many times. What Luis said was true. Moreover, Steffi was not a stupid woman.

"Get rid of your bad thoughts on a woman who has died. Anyway, at the end of her life she has done good things for Madam. So we don't need to blaspheme her anymore, let her rest up there with God," said Luis again.

"Yeah you're right. It seems that I'm still carried away by my hatred for her for everything she did to Madam. But never mind, Madam has forgiven her, so I also have to get rid of my hatred for her."

Luis chuckled and patted Erick's shoulder lightly. "That's just the Erick I know."

Erick smiled and tidied his things into his bag preparing to go home. When he was about to walk after Luis, who had already left, Erick accidentally saw Leon, who was still sitting with a blank stare. It seemed that the news of Steffi's death made him a little sad. Even though he dumped Steffi, but the gift of Steffi's wedding ring that Jack previously gave had made Leon unable to think clearly, especially with the video that Jack showed.

Steffi's last condition, which was covered in blood in the hotel bed, really made Leon's mind go blank. He didn't even listen to and care about all the accusations he was accused of. Likewise, when his status was raised to suspect, Leon didn't show any response.

Well, it looked like he regretted everything. But it was useless. His regret was useless because now Steffi wais sleeping peacefully in her new home, leaving all the pain she got while being Leon's wife.
