339 The decider

Areez’s belief that Zwetta is Elena is becoming more and more at this time, but even so Areez still doesn’t want to tell Christian or his family. Areez is still waiting for other information about the Wilson family from Aldrich, Areez wants to find out the truth about the very tragic death of Elena Wilson first before continuing his plan. Currently, Aldrich’s men have spread out in Zurich, armed with student cards belonging to Elena Wilson, whose ID numbers are barely legible, the private detectives have spread across several well-known campuses in Zurich. They really had to do a quest from scratch carefully and patiently, the clueless search they were currently doing really had to be done with great care.

“I’m going to find out as much as possible, this is the only way I can do to earn Jackson Clarke’s trust again.” Areez clenched one hand tightly. “I will not let the adopted son marry Suri, since Suri’s appearance five years ago she is destined to be mine.”

With a flushed face because of the longing for Suri that made Areez more awake, sleepiness and fatigue seemed to be afraid of him. Almost every night Areez recalled the words Asher said that night, Asher’s desire to also marry Suri made him restless and uneasy. That’s why Areez wants to finish all of this as soon as possible so he can hug Suri again, unable to communicate with Suri for the past two months makes his chest so tight filled with longing that every day tortures him more.

Areez’s work spirit was filled again when he remembered Suri, using the help of the study lamp above his desk, Areez again busied himself with his laptop. Areez tries to find the address of Jody Wilson’s old house in Zurich with the barely legible Elena Wilson’s student card.

***

Echternach, Luxembourg. 12.30 PM.

Just as Areez was being messed with by the Wilson family, the same thing happened to Jack. Jack is very disturbed by Anne’s words to investigate directly with Erick, the two of them go to Echternach where Jody and Camila Wilson are buried.

“Echternach isn’t a big city, I’m sure in less than a day we’ll find them, sir.”

Jack pursed his lips at Erick’s words. “I hope so, right now they’re the only key to all this tangle of threads.”

.....

Erick smiled. “While waiting for information from my men, we’d better eat first, sir. You haven’t eaten anything since leaving home an hour ago, sir.”

“I’m not hungry.”

“But you still need energy, sir. I don’t want to be scolded by Mrs. Anne, I’m still quite traumatized by how mad you are, sir.”

Jack chuckled. “Okay, let’s go to the coffee shop. I want to have a piece of cake and a cup of coffee.”

Erick’s eyes immediately lit up, he immediately looked around to find the nearest coffee shop. After finding a coffee shop, Erick then asked Jack to get out of the car. Returning to work outside the office like this with the master made Erick feel alive again, the pleasant youth times he had worked so hard for were really very enjoyable and became unforgettable memories.

Luckily when Erick and Jack arrived, the coffee shop wasn’t too crowded so Jack didn’t need to wear big sunglasses to disguise his appearance. Even though he is not young anymore, Jack’s good looks are still able to attract the attention of girls. The increasing age of maturity makes Jack have its own charm.

“Please have your coffee, sir,” Erick said quietly as he placed Jack’s favorite coffee on the table, as a personal assistant who had served Jack for decades making Erick memorize Jack’s favorite drinks and foods.

Jack nodded slowly. “This city isn’t too busy, isn’t it. Being too busy working made me not realize that Luxembourg has lots of interesting cities that are fun to visit. Anne would love to be here.”

“This place has indeed become one of Mrs. Anne’s favorite places. After all the problems are over, maybe you can invite Mrs. to visit this place again, sir.”

Jack’s lips curved slightly. “Yes, you’re right, after all this trouble I want to take my wife on vacation. Maybe bringing Luna will be more fun, the child has been in the hospital for too long. She will definitely be happy when invited to a fun place like this.”

Erick pursed his lips, Jack’s words offending Luna made him feel a little sad. Although not part of the Clarke family, Erick was the first to receive any information from the team of doctors who were treating Luna. Even though Luna finally got a heart donor, it could not be a guarantee of her recovery one hundred percent. Several other abnormalities that she brought since she was born into the world made Luna still have to receive intensive care even though she had a heart transplant operation, the special condition that Luna got because she was born prematurely with a mother whose pregnancy condition was not properly monitored is now a big slap to all adults who used to treat her mother badly.

Luna’s birth was like a reply from God to remind the Clarke family of what they did to Elena.

Thinking about Luna’s condition made Erick lose interest in enjoying his coffee, even though twenty minutes ago he had been imagining how nice it would be to enjoy coffee.

“Erick!” suddenly Jack shrieked.

“Yes, sir. What’s wrong?”

“Look!!” Jack stretched out his hand towards where Erick had parked his car. “Isn’t that Tommy Vargas.”

“Right, that’s Tommy Vargas, the man we’re looking for,” Erick half shouted. “I’ll try to go after him and...”

“No, not now. He’s at work right now and look, he’s not alone,” said Jack again. “There was a young man with him.”

Erick’s eyes narrowed, trying to recognize the figure of a young man standing beside Tommy. “Jason, it’s Jason.”

Jack tilted his head, confused. “Jason, who is Jason?”

Erick turned his gaze towards the master. “You may not know this, sir. Jason is Elena’s friend, he lives not far from the Wilsons.house”

“Elana’s friend?”

Erick cleared his throat slowly. “Actually more than friends, sir. Jason, who works as a firefighter, likes Elena, but Elena, who always spends time at home helping her parents, doesn’t realize the young man’s feelings. It can be said that the love of the young man named Jason is not reciprocated because Elena finally fell in love with young master. Sorry if I didn’t share this information with you in advance, sir. I thought this information was not important.”

“It’s okay, I can understand it, Erick,” Jack said understandingly. “Our focus has only been on Elena and her family, especially since Suri said that Elena was part of the kidnapper. It’s not your fault.”

Erick did not answer Jack’s words, he was trying to read the direction of Jack’s mind at this time. Seeing Jack who suddenly smiled made Erick not understand.

“Our current target is not just Tommy Vargas and his wife.” Jack continued. “That young man named Jason seems to have other important information that can help us unravel this tangled thread, I hope after we hear explanations from these two we can quickly find out what Elena and Zwetta’s relationship is.”

“Yes sir,” Erick replied quickly, as quickly as his hand grabbed his cell phone from the table. Erick then contacted his subordinates who were currently around the coffee shop and gave orders to them to follow Tommy and Jason, who were still wearing their respective work uniforms.

Even though Tommy and Jason walked away, Jack still didn’t take his eyes off the two men of different ages. A few moments ago, Jack suddenly remembered the information of the hired detective that he ordered to follow Jody and Camila Wilson. Jack forgot that Jason had an important role in the problem he was trying to solve at the moment.

“Come on Jack....for the sake of your family’s unity you must be able to solve all these problems.” Jack spoke to himself, encouraging himself.

Jack finally realized that all his selfishness had hurt Christian so much, Jack forgot that his first son also needed love from him and Anne. Even though it wasn’t really his fault, Jack chose to make peace with everything and blamed all the blame on himself. Jack didn’t want to blame Luis, who at that time insisted on taking care of Christian alone in Luxembourg, Jack realized that what Luis was doing was for the good of his family like the mandate of his late grandfather who wanted a great heir like Alan, his twin brother who was cruelly murdered by his best friend decades ago.

“My men have moved, sir. They have followed Jason and Tommy,” Erick said quietly, breaking the silence.

Jack smiled. “Thanks for the help, Erick.”

“Master...”

“I hope this matter is resolved quickly, I want to see my children and grandchildren happy, I don’t want to have the same fate as my father and grandfather who have to hate each other.” Jack’s voice sounded a little quivering when he spoke, remembering the misunderstanding that happened to his father and grandfather made Jack sad. “I don’t want to repeat the bad history that happened in my family, Erick. I don’t want Christian to change his last name, just like my father did because of his fight with my grandfather.”

“Young master would not do that, sir. You don’t have to worry, young master was educated well by Luis. Apart from being taught high discipline, I’m sure Luis also taught young master how to respect parents. Luis is a warm man, a man who loves his wife and children so much.”

Jack smiled bitterly. “You’re right, if it weren’t for Luis’ upbringing Christian might not want to talk to me anymore after I made his head bleed back then.”

“Sir...”

“I’m fine, Erick,” Jack said quickly. “Okay, let’s finish this coffee, a big job awaits us.”
