Chapter 398 - The Last Hope?
The envelope given by Adriana Holsy contained photos of Roger Douglas and Cassandra Lim making love. Seeing the photos, Nicholas got very angry. He still clearly remembered how Cassandra Lim begged her master not to be abandoned.
"That woman is really something, sir. Please, don't remember it anymore. After all, you are currently married to Madam, so this is not important, sir," Nicholas said in a rising voice. He was very annoyed and angry at this time.
"I wasn't thinking about that, Nick, I was thinking about Roger. You do remember what Cassandra said when she came to me a few months ago, right?" Alan asked flatly.
Nicholas was silent. He tried to remember what Cassandra Lim had done a few months ago, but Nicholas couldn't remember, because of the many things Cassandra had done so far.
"Cassandra came to me with the same information that Adriana gave. Cassandra said that Adriana was already in a relationship with Roger Douglas. Even though at that time Cassandra didn't give as many photos as Adriana did, I believe her words, because I know Roger very well. He will not possibly give up on getting his targeted woman before he manages to sleep with her," Alan said slowly in answer to his own question, breaking the silence, because Nicholas had been silent for a long time.
"So you mean Roger Douglas actually..."
"Yes, Roger Douglas was the one who actually targeted me. That man deliberately approached the women who were once close to me to show me that he has successfully get those women just like me. Although this is just a guess but somehow I really believe that Roger was never really a sincere friend to me. He is a man who doesn't want to give in. He always wants to be number one. Although I'm not accusing him, but I believe that Roger had something to do with the accident at that time, but I don't know how. I don't have evidence of Roger's direct involvement. If the car didn't explode and fall apart like that maybe the police could find evidence that the car I was driving actually had a problem," said Alan quietly, expressing what was in his mind.
"So-so you managed to remember the accident 2 years ago, sir?" asked Nicholas quickly.
Alan shook his head slowly while throwing the vulgar photos of Cassandra Lim and Roger Douglas on the table. Roger Douglas was one of his best friends who used to go with him to go to the club with Brandon Rex and the others.
"Right now I haven't been able to remember, Nick. There have been a lot of events that I can't fully remember. I only remember a few things, when I said goodbye to Grandpa when I was going to the area and when I shook hands with the others. After that I don't remember anything else. The memories that I have after that are when I was treated in the hospital," Alan answered flatly.
Nicholas was seriously listening to the master's words. He did not know that the Alan he was currently serving was not the same Alan. Mr. David Clarke didn't tell Nicholas the truth, that's why Nicholas knew nothing about the secret. Mr. David Clarke really kept his meetings secret. He didn't want anyone else to know about Jack being Alan. Even the doctor who had helped Jack the first time when Luis was found in Portsmouth was now hidden from his family. He was not allowed to leave a government-owned military hospital. Luis deliberately put the doctor into the military hospital so he couldn't go anywhere, so that the important information about Jack who became Alan wouldn't be leaked. Therefore, the doctor was still working at the military hospital. And the doctor didn't even know Luis' real purpose of placing him in the military hospital.
And although all this time Jack had gotten memories from Alan, but Jack couldn't remember the last incident before Alan died. That was why Mr. David Clarke and the doctors were confused about how all the other memories managed to enter Jack's brain, but the last memory of the fateful incident did not. They all didn't know that Jack wouldn't be able to remember it because he wasn't the one who experienced the incident. Memory after memory that entered Jack's brain right now was Alan's memory when he had not had an accident.
"Never mind. Don't mind this. There are more important things for me to do, Nick," Alan said quietly, looking at the ring on his ring finger.
Nicholas, who understood what his master meant, just smiled. He then grabbed the tightly locked suitcase and prepared to leave. Since his business at the office was done, Alan decided to leave his room, after saving the intimate pictures of Cassandra Lim and Roger Douglas.? When Alan passed Gloria, he smiled meaningfully, which made Gloria scared. Actually, the reason Gloria still worked at Alan's company was because she was very afraid that her family would be destroyed by Alan, even though she was threatened not to be able to work anywhere else, Gloria was not afraid. However, when Alan Knight Clarke had mentioned her family, she had no other choice but to obey Alan's orders.

< The Clarke Family Residence >
Anne looked desperate after talking to Doctor Caitlyn on the phone, even though she had high hopes for the doctor, who had promised to help her get out of Alan's clutches. Anne's hopes were dashed when she found out that Doctor Caitlyn had not been able to find what Anne asked for. The kind doctor said that all of her personal belongings and documents had been stored by Nicholas at Alan's orders. So now the whereabouts of all her personal belongings were unknown to anyone, including her cell phone, which she really needed right now. The reason was that the cell phone was her only hope at the moment. Anne did not memorize anyone's number, including Linda's, Paul's or Erick's who were in Switzerland. That was why she was so confused right now and didn't know who to ask for help to escape from Alan.
"Do I really have to surrender to the situation this time, Lord? Why did you give me this extraordinary trial, Lord? I really don't know what to do right now. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with that monster, God, sob... I don't want to. Please help me, God, I beg you, please save me," said Anne quietly, burying her face in the sofa, so that no one would know that she was currently crying.
