I'll Teach You, Marianne.-Chapter 618 - The Next Generation
Chapter 618 - The Next Generation
"Jack!!!"
Anne's screamed sounded very loud, breaking the silence in the night. Everyone who had been anxious since morning was immediately trembled in fear when they heard the screams of their mistress.
"Jack, this must be your plan, right?!! You purposely took me away from Switzerland so that Luis could take my son away right??!!"
"Come on, Jack, let's go after them. Let's bring Christian home."
"I don't want to be separated from him, Jack! Christian needs me, he's only two years old Jack!"
"Come on Jack...come on!!"
Anne's screams were heard again from the second floor. Anne, who had just woken up and was about to check on Christian, was surprised to find that her son's room was empty. There was not the slightest sign of Christian's presence in the room until she finally learned of the fact that Luis had taken Christian away to Luxembourg.
Anne was angry. She was hysterical and crazy when she knew her son was taken away without her permission and Jack was the target of Anne's anger in the middle of the night.
"Babe, calm down... don't be angry. Everything can be discussed properly," said Jack softly, trying to calm Anne who was still screaming on Christian's bed.
Bam!
Anne threw a pillow at Jack.
"What do you mean calm down? My son was taken away, Jack! How can I calm down?"
Jack put down the pillow he was holding and placed it carefully on the sofa. "Don't be mad honey, I'll call Luis first. If you panic and cry like that, I can't think straight."
Anne ignored Jack's words. She continued to call Christian's name while hugging the pillow she used to wear. The smell of her son's body lingered and made her even sadder.
Jack was silent for a while before finally taking his cell phone and called Luis in Luxembourg. But since it was already 2 am, no one was picking up the call, including Noah, who seemed to be fast asleep. While Jack was confused of what to do, suddenly Erick appeared at the door.
"Sir ..."
"Can you explain what happened yesterday? Why didn't you tell me, Erick? Why were you silent when Luis brought Christian?!" Anne, who was already hysterical, immediately bombarded Erick with many questions.
"Babe... calm down, everything must be discussed with a cool head."
"How can I calm down, Jack?!! My son was taken away without my knowledge, what do you think Christian is? A worthless lifeless thing? He's my son, Jack…"
"Christian isn't just your son! He's also my son, Anne. Don't talk as if you're the only one who has a hand in Christian's presence. Christian is also there because of me, I'm his father!" Jack had lost control then shouted loudly, cutting Anne's words. Anne's crying and screaming made him lose control so he could speak so loudly to Anne.
Being shouted at by Jack immediately silenced her. Not only Anne who immediately lowered her face, Erick, who was in front of the door, even unconsciously took a step back because of Jack's shout.
"Tell me what happened, Erick? How did Luis take Christian away? Why didn't you tell me about this too? You're so unlike the Erick that I once knew, Erick.
Erick's face flushed as he heard Jack's words.
"This is not Erick's fault, because actually Erick also did not know." Alice suddenly appeared from behind Erick, answering Jack's questions.
Erick and Jack immediately turned and glared at Alice, who was now standing beside Erick, although the gazes that Jack and Erick gave to Alice had different meanings.
"What do you mean?"
"Luis brought Christian exactly 30 minutes before you landed in Switzerland. Luis said he wanted to bring Christian to Luxembourg to meet with the Clarke family's attorney. So actually Erick didn't know when Luis took Christian away, because at that time he was already at the airport to pick you up," Alice answered quietly, trying to explain the outline what really happened.
"Lawyer? Why does he want to take my son to see a lawyer, Alice? "
Alice turned to Anne, who was still sitting on Christian's bed. "I don't even know, Anne. What is certain is that this may have something to do with Christian's status as an heir to the Clarke family."
Anne wiped her tears that didn't stop flowing. "But Christian is only a child. He is only two years old. He doesn't understand these kinds of things yet, Christian doesn't understand sob..."
Anne cried again and confused everyone in the place, including Alice, who couldn't do much.
"Babe..."
"No, don't come near me!!" Anne loudly raised her hand in the air to stop Jack who wanted to come closer to her. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
Jack immediately froze when Anne forbade him to come closer. Jack's surprise hadn't diminished when he was suddenly surprised by Anne again, who got up from the bed and immediately ran out of Christian's room and went to their room, which was not far from Christian's room. The loud sound of the door slamming made everyone startled. Anne seemed really angry at this time.
Jack scratched his head that doesn't itch. He really didn't understand why Luis did this so far without his knowledge.
"I can fly to Luxembourg right now if you want, sir," Erick said offering himself slowly.
Jack shook his head. "No need, I'm sure Luis must have a special reason on why he took Christian away. Luis did it because of grandfather's orders, so did the damn lawyers."
"Well, it seems that being the heir to a rich family isn't fun, isn't it?" Alice said quietly teasing Jack.
"I'm not in the mood for a joke, Alice!" Jack snapped.
Alice chuckled. "Well, it seems you don't understand what I mean, sir."
Jack raised an eyebrow. "Get to the point, don't beat around the bush."
"Whoa whoa whoa ... be patient sir, don't be mean to me. So what I meant earlier was that you make the second, third, fourth and so on heirs with Anne, so Christian won't lose his childhood because he's the only heir to the family. Imagine if Christian had a younger brother, I'm sure Luis and the lawyers wouldn't be in such a hurry," Alice replied with a smile.
Jack frowned at Alice's words. He seemed to be digesting the words that Alice had just said. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐om
After nearly two minutes of silence, Jack slowly lifted his face and looked at Alice with sparkling eyes. "You're really smart, Alice. I'm proud of you."
Alice chuckled. "That's it, what are you waiting for? Go to your room, followed by Anne."
Jack smiled as he nodded his head and hurried off to their room, but as he was just passing Christian's door when he suddenly turned around and glared at Alice.
"You should still know your manners, Alice."
After saying that, Jack then continued his steps back to his room, leaving Erick and Alice looking confused.
