Chapter 517 - Anne Is Mine

Chapter 517 - Anne Is Mine

After entering the room, Jack carefully lowered Anne on the bed.

"Put your face up, Anne, I don't like seeing you like this," said Jack, quietly trying to calm her down.

"Anne..."

"Why did he come, Jack, why did he come? What does he want? Why did he come again when I have calmed down? What does he want, Jack?" Anne's voice sounded hoarse from crying.

Jack took a deep breath. He then grabbed Anne's face which was lowered, with both of his hands to look at her. "Are you afraid of him?"

Anne shook her head slowly in response to Jack's question.

"Then what are you worried about? I'm right beside you, so you're not alone in the face of that wretched lion. So you don't have to be afraid, Anne."

The tears that had been held back in Anne's eyes for a long time trickled down her cheeks. "Are you going to leave me, Jack?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Jack in a rising voice.

"I'm his ex-wife, I'm Leonardo Ganke's ex-wife. Aren't you worried if your good name is…"

Smack!

Jack landed a peck on Anne's lips to stop her from speaking. "Who said you were that damn lion's ex-wife? What evidence did he have?"

"What do you mean?"

Jack chuckled, slowly stroking Anne's long hair. "Ever since you divorced, that bastard lion had immediately eliminated all proofs that you were ever married to him. The divorce certificate and evidence in the civil registry in Berlin he threw away shortly after you two were divorced. The bastard lion did that because he wanted to marry Steffi while still single. So he removed all evidence of his marriage to you, so in other words you and him have nothing to do whatsoever. Except the certificate..."

"He burned the marriage certificate two days after we got married right in front of Stefi."

"Any wedding photos?"

"Everything, nothing was left. He even removed the camera used to take photos at the event," replied Anne with a faint smile.

"Yes!!" Jack shouted loudly.

Anne looked at Jack with a confused look. She didn't understand why Jack was so happy.

"Believe me, that bastard lion wouldn't dare to mess around. He doesn't have any evidence to reveal your past relationship. So don't worry, my good name will be fine. Besides, if he told the whole world that you were his ex-wife, I won't mind. After all, the one who got your virginity was me."

Immediately, Anne's face felt hot when she heard Jack's words. She looked embarrassed and very annoyed that Jack still had time to discuss their first night. Annoyed, she pinched Jack's stomach, causing him to wince in pain.

"I'm serious but you're discussing it instead, I hate you!!" Anne snarled.

Jack laughed in amusement. "But I'm right, Anne, I'm speaking facts."

"Never mind! Go away now! I want to sleep. Seeing Leon again makes me want to throw up," said Anne in irritation.

"Why didn't you just throw it in his face straight away? I thought that would be really cool."

"GO!!!"

Jack immediately got up from the bed instantly. With a big smile on his face, Jack left the room leaving Anne alone. He took a deep breath when he managed to make Anne smile again. At least, she was no longer sad because Leon's words were very painful.

"You're really looking for trouble with me, Leon. How dare you come and make my woman sad again. Don't call me Jackson Patrick Muller if I can't kill you," said Jack coldly as he clenched his fists tightly. His hatred for Leon had really reached its peak.

Half running, Jack then rushed out of his room to meet the two assistants who were waiting on the first floor. He wanted to take a revenge on Leon. He had to stop Leon so the man would no longer interfere with his happy life with Anne. Jack was determined to get rid of Leon forever from Anne's life and himself.

After Jack left, Anne got up and sat in front of the dressing table. She looked at herself in the large mirror in front of her. "Why are you bothering me again, Leon? You didn't even care about me when we were divorced. Then why won't you let me live a quiet and happy life with the people I love now? Why do you always have to destroy my life? Am I not entitled to live happily? Don't I have the right to have a complete family, a family where I can lean on and go home? Why don't you stop bothering me, Leon…? Sob… why...?"

Remembering what Leon had just done gave Anne a headache. Because the headache was unbearable, Anne then went back to bed and laid down. The words that Leon had previously said to her in front of almost everyone of the Clarke family's house gave Anne a headache. Her head felt like it was going to explode at this moment because of her hatred for Leon that had almost exceeded her patience. Because her head hurt even more when she thought about Leon, Anne finally decided to sleep. She hoped that when she woke up all the bad things about Leon would be gone forever from her memory.

When Jack arrived on the first floor, everyone was waiting for him, including his grandfather who already had dozens of questions in his head.

"Jack ..."

"If you want to ask about the truth of what the bastard lion said, Grandpa, I don't have time. Now I have more important things to do," said Jack curtly, interrupting his grandfather's words.

Mr. David Clarke smiled. "What are you going to do?"

"Getting Leonardo Ganke off the face of the earth."

Everyone in the room widened their eyes, including Aaron and Rose who were sitting next to each other. Only Mr. David Clarke smiled at Jack's words.

"If you do that, do you think Anne will be happy?"

Jack immediately turned to his grandfather. "What do you mean, Grandpa?"

"If killing the man is going to solve the problem, is that what Anne wants as well? Shouldn't you just ignore him and stay focused on Anne?"

"Grandpa..."

Mr. David Clarke smiled again. "I'm not an old-fashioned man who lived in a bygone era. I don't care who you marry. As long as you are happy, I'm also happy, even if you marry a widow with 10 children for example. Your happiness is the most important thing for me. After all, I know that Leonardo Ganke is just a man who failed to move on. He still hoped for Anne, so he did whatever ways possible to separate you. Besides, how could a widow is still a virgin? I can still clearly remember how proudly you shouted after knowing that you are the first man for Anne."

Slowly, Jack's smile grew. "Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you for not bothering about Anne's past."

"Of course, Anne is a good girl and you have to take care of her. Remember, there are men like Leonardo Ganke, who still chases your wife, so don't waste her. Who knows if there will be other men who are still expecting her," said Mr. David Clarke again.

Instantly, the rumbling in Jack's heart disappeared after he heard his grandfather's words. He was happy because it turned out that his grandfather was not affected by Leon. However, something different seemed to have happened to Aaron. He unconsciously clenched his fists tightly when he heard the fact that Anne was still a virgin when she married Jack. His heart ached for no reason.
