Chapter 461 - Still Hoping
< Ganke Inc Production >
Since his last conversation with Stefi, Leon's mood was immediately ruined. When he was at the office, he was completely unfocused and countless employees were affected. Wayne was the only person who was not affected by Leon's anger, even though he was always behind Leon.
"I think I'm really fed up with that woman. If only it's not a sin to kill, I would have killed her since two years ago," Leon said coldly with clenched fists on the table.
Wayne, who had always been a good listener, slowly approached his master who was sitting by his oversized chair. "I can get rid of that woman easily, sir, if you wish."
"No, Wayne, I don't want you to get your hands dirty with the blood of that crazy woman."
"Then what should I do, sir?"
Leon pounded the table slowly. "Make her go crazy slowly. I want to make her live like hell."
"What do you have in mind, sir?" Wayne asked quickly.
"Create a scandal. I will bring the people who knew her back then to London. Stefi was a poor woman with lots of debts because of her family. She was forced to go to the city to try her luck, until finally she was helped by Marianne when she was about to be kidnapped by robbers who had drained her money. All this time, Stefi always boasted that she was a respectable woman who had a perfect family before marrying me. Therefore, I want to reveal all her secrets now, so that she wouldn't have the guts to appear in public again, go through a depression, and start to go crazy as she wouldn't be able to do her hobby of shopping and gossiping with her other socialite friends," Leon answered at length.
"That's good, sir, that's a great idea and perfect. I'm sure Stefi will not be able to do anything when her true identity is revealed," said Wayne excitedly.
"And after Stefi is destroyed, I will send a young man to her who will help me get her affair scandal, so it's very easy for me to divorce that crazy woman," Leon added again. His eyes flashed as he spoke. His desire to get rid of Stefi was intense, as he was already very disgusted with Stefi, who always set him up with stimulant drugs to make love.
"Then what should I do now, sir?" Wayne asked in a rising voice.
Leon smiled at Wayne's enthusiasm. "Go back to Germany. Find people who know Stefi in her hometown. Bring some money and bribe them. Usually poor people will do anything for money, especially if it's a lot of money."
"Yes, sir. I will fly straight to Germany this afternoon. I will ask one of my men to look after you while I'm going to Germany, sir"
"No need, Wayne. While you are in Germany, I will go to Luxembourg. I want to find Marianne. From what I heard, Marianne hasn't returned to London yet. She's still in that small country, I have to make sure that my wife is okay," Leon said quickly. When he talked about Anne, his cheeks turned red. Leon had been so madly in love with Anne. In his mind, there was only Anne's name at the moment.
"Madam hasn't returned to London yet?" Wayne asked in surprise. He had already referred to Anne as Madam, because Leon only recognized Anne as his wife.
Leon shook his head in response to Wayne's words. "She even took a year off from college, Wayne. I feel uncomfortable. That's why I have to look for her in Luxembourg, I will bring Marianne back to my side. She's the only woman who deserves the title of Mrs. Ganke. Marianne is the only woman who will give birth to my children."
"Okay then, I will arrange our flight right now, sir, so that tonight we can leave for Germany," Wayne said quickly. After saying that, he then left the master's office to contact the private pilot of Ganke Inc. Production's jet to prepare for the flight.
After Wayne left, Leon then took out a photo that was stored in a small frame that he put in his desk drawer. His eyes stared sadly at the photo of Anne smiling broadly when she was with her college friends. Leon slowly fingered Anne's photo and kissed it lovingly.
"I'm sorry for being stupid, Marianne. After I got rid of that seductive woman, we can live happily together. I want to start everything with you from zero, just like the wish of my late grandmother who wanted to see us happy. I'm sorry, Marianne, I was blinded by Stefi. I was lured by her sweet words, but don't worry, Marianne. Right now, there is only your name in my heart. There is only your face that I always imagine every night and there is only your name that I call in my prayers day and night. We will be happy, Marianne. Trust me, I love you, dear… love you very much," Leon said softly with teary eyes as he stared at the beautiful photo of Anne with her long hair. Because he didn't want anyone to disturb him, Leon then locked the door to his office. He wanted to sleep while hugging Anne's photo for a while. He wanted to hug the photo of the woman he had lost since the day they first met five years ago. The woman he used to hate so much had now managed to steal all of his heart.
Leon closed his eyes as he sat back in his chair with his legs up on the table.
"I'll take you home, honey, my lover, Marianne," Leon muttered softly as he was about to go to dreamland.

"Achoo! ... Ah, why am I suddenly sneezing like this?" said Anne softly while drying her hair in front of the mirror. "It's because Alan is an insatiable bastard. How could he do that again in the bathroom?"
Alan, who had just come out of the bathroom, put his hands on his hips beside the dressing table where Anne was sitting, pretending to be angry. "You're blaming me?"
"Of course, who else is there to blame?" replied Anne curtly without taking her eyes off the mirror.
"You provoked me, Anne, so don't blame me if I touch you again in the bathroom."
Bam!
Anne slammed the comb she was holding on the dressing table roughly.
"How can you blame me? It's obvious that you were the one who forced me to do that after I'm done bathing," said Anne loudly.
Alan thinned his lips as he saw Anne got angry. He was actually happy to see her angry like that. There was pleasure in seeing Anne upset. Alan slowly approached her and stood right behind her, staring into the mirror where Anne was also looking at.
"Forcing that, what's 'that' mean, Anne? I don't understand."
Anne's face reddened at Alan's words. "You better get dressed now. I don't want people to wait for us too long."
Hearing Anne's words made Alan immediately stand up straight, behaving perfectly while giving a respectful pose. "Yes, Ma'am."
"Alan!! You are really a pervert!!" Anne screamed loudly. Apparently, when Alan stood in a perfect posture the towel wrapped around his waist fell so that Alan's entire body was clearly visible.
Seeing the row of hard muscles and fine hairs around Alan's lower abdomen made Anne's blood boil again.
