Chapter 540 - New Fact
When they saw Jack came with Sophia to the office, all the staff whispered. They were surprised to see the boss brought a woman who was clearly not his wife. Even Alice dropped the teacup she was carrying when she saw Sophia's presence in Jack's room.
"You must be Jack's secretary, please introduce me..."
"Seductive woman, remember your position!" said Alice curtly.
Hearing Alice's words made the smile on Sophia's face immediately disappear. "Jack..."
"Watch your manners, Alice!"
Alice immediately turned to Jack. Her eyes fixed on Jack with no fear. "Just last night you lost a baby, now you're with this bitch and..."
"Alice!!!"
"What? What? What I'm saying is true, she is the woman who has betrayed you since the first time you were engaged. She has betrayed you, had an affair with a soccer player you sponsored. Then how come you are back with her now? You threw away diamonds for junk like this!" said Alice loudly without fear.
Sophia's face paled at Alice's words, as did Nicholas. He couldn't believe that Alice would dare to speak like that, while Erick was silent and didn't say anything. He had expected Alice to talk like this. Erick knew how much Alice loved Anne.
Jack growled. "Watch your words Alice, you are in the office now and I am your boss!"
"Fine, then I resign. I'd rather go back to London and work there, than have to see this stupidity of yours."
Jack immediately fell silent. He didn't expect Alice to choose to resign like this. Erick, who had been silent for a long time, immediately reacted. Without a word, he grabbed Alice's arm tightly. Trying to ask for an explanation for the words she just said.
"I'm going back to London, my decision has been made. Please stay with him, Erick, he's your boss. While I'm not, I've resigned. So I don't have any ties to him."
"Alice, calm down. Everything can be discussed properly," said Erick slowly, trying to calm his girlfriend.
Alice rebuffed Erick's hand firmly. "Last night you were silent when he was mean to his wife, even when his wife had a miscarriage, the bad man still beat his wife. It's not impossible that one day you will also be silent when he treats me badly, and I don't want that, Erick. I'm not as kind and patient as Anne. That's why I'd better go before that happens, especially now that beside him is this shameless witch. She's clearly just a stranger. How dare she shamelessly come to the office and act like Madam. Even though, Anne, who is clearly the legitimate Mrs. Clarke, is not acting like that. So please don't hold me down, Erick, I don't want to be here anymore."
Erick immediately closed his lips when he heard Alice's words. He was in a dilemma whether to choose his girlfriend or master.
Seeing Erick who didn't move, Alice smiled. She then walked to her desk and grabbed her bag, then immediately left Jack's room, leaving Erick, Nicholas and Jack just silent, while Sophia smiled faintly. She was very satisfied with what had just happened.
Jack's room was instantly silent for almost 5 minutes. No words were spoken from the lips of Jack, Nicholas, or Erick. When the men were lost in their own thoughts, finally Sophia without shame immediately approached Jack and tried to touch his chest. Luckily, Jack caught her, immediately preventing Sophia from taking further action.
"Jack," Sophia sighed softly.
Jack looked at Sophia sharply. "Go home and don't come to my office again, this is not your place."
"But Jack..."
"Get lost!!"
Sophia gasped when she heard Jack's scream. Without thinking twice, Sophia immediately left Jack's room. She didn't want to make Jack's mood worse. For her, what she did today was perfect. Sophia didn't want to make Jack hate her. She had to stay beside Jack at times like this. Moreover, Anne was no longer beside him and the woman had a miscarriage. Remembering that, Sophia laughed happily. She couldn't believe it had come at the right time like this. That was why at the moment, Sophia had to obey Jack.
After Sophia left, Nicholas took Erick out of Jack's room. Nicholas didn't want to spoil Jack's mood even more.
"Call Alice, I'm sure Alice doesn't mean what she says."
Eric shook his head. "Alice is always serious with her words. And she especially adores Madam. Last night you saw for yourself how Alice kept sending messages to me asking me to go home and see Madame in pain. She was not only angry with Master. She was also angry with me because I defended him, that's why she behaved like that, Nick."
Nicholas took a deep breath. "Then what are you going to do?"
"For now, I have to stay beside Master, we must be by his side and accompany him at times like this, Nick. I can't leave him alone to face this very heavy problem, and as for Alice, I will think about it later. I'm sure Alice will understand."
Nicholas patted Erick's shoulder gently, he tried to support Erick. Even though Nicholas used to hate Erick so much, now Nicholas has dispelled his hatred for Erick. He knew Erick was in the same boat as him, both aiming to serve Jack well.
In his room, Jack kept thinking about Alice's words. He couldn't accept being called a bad man who didn't care about his wife, even though he was clearly a victim of Anne's infidelity.
"What I did was not wrong. It was all the woman's fault, including the death of my son. It was all her fault. If only she hadn't cheated on me, maybe my son would still be alive and we would still be happy like before. What a cheap woman! How dare she betray me? You are the best liar, Anne. In front of me you keep saying that you hate Leon so much, but behind my back, you make love to him. You're a hypocrite, cheap woman. I regret falling in love with you! You are the one who deserves to be blamed for the death of my son. You should be in jail, Marianne..."
Tring
A notification that came to his smart tablet made Jack stop his cursing for Anne. Jack lazily opened the incoming message that was sent by Luis.
"Check the email I sent you."
Jack read the message that Luis sent slowly. Even though he wasn't really in the mood to work, finally Jack obeyed the orders given by Luis to check an email link that Luis sent. His eyes immediately rounded perfectly when he saw a sex video of several women who have bodies almost similar to Anne's, starting from the body shape and skin color that was very similar to Anne's. Immediately, his chest felt tight. He felt familiar with some of the scenes in the video he was watching.
While watching the sex video, his office phone suddenly rang. Jack hadn't gotten a new cell phone since last night after he smashed his cell phone into a flower vase when he was angry with Anne. As a result, a lot of people contacted him using the office phone.
"Hello..."
"Oh Thank God, it's me, sir, Doctor Caitlyn." Doctor Caitlyn immediately cut off Jack's words. Her voice sounding a little panicked.
Jack's expression immediately changed when he found out who called him. "What's wrong, Doc? I'm at the office."
"Sorry to interrupt, sir, it's just that I have to ask you to take Madam to the hospital now to do ...."
Bam!
The telephone receiver in Jack's hand fell against the glass table quite hard. Jack immediately froze after hearing Doctor Caitlyn's words.
"N-no way... Anne..."
