Chapter 639 - For Anne’s Sake
Frederick and the Interpol and other policemen finally left Muller Finance International after Jack managed to provide them with evidence again by bringing the director of the bank where the money was. The bank director confirmed Jack's previous statement saying that the money that the hacker stole was currently frozen and couldn't be used. The man who had known Jack for more than fifteen years also gave a report on the suspicious transfer of money belonging to Muller Finance International. After seeing the evidence, the police's suspicions of Jack's involvement with terrorists in the Middle East were finally debunked.
"You bastard, Frederick!" Erick cursed angrily as the cops disappeared behind the elevator.
Nicholas immediately turned to Erick. "You know the man?"
"Of course, he's Master's schoolmate who is a bastard," Erick replied curtly.
"Fuck, what kind of jerk?" Alice, who had been silent for a long time, finally joined in.
"A friend who doesn't know how to return the favor. He has tried several times to bring down Master by saying that Master has a business of buying and selling humans and drugs. He is really an ungrateful human, really. I really hate him," Erick replied with full of emotion. "And I almost forgot, that guy was Giselle Allen's ex-fiancé."
"Don't tell me it's because of Giselle Allen that he hates Master, Erick," Alice retorted quickly.
Erick immediately turned to Alice quickly. "Indeed that's the reason. Frederick always blames Master for the breakdown of his love affair with Giselle. Even though Master has made it clear from the start that he and Giselle are just friends, nothing more. However, Frederick didn't believe him and in the end, just like you see, the man really hates Master and still trying to find fault with Master."
Alice chuckled. "How can Frederick not hate Master if his lover loves Master and what's worse, Master doesn't realize that, oh my God... I don't know what Master's heart is made of that he doesn't realize that there is a woman who adores him from decades ago." Alice purposely spoke loudly to mock Jack.
"Alice, watch your words!" Erick snarled.
Alice immediately shrugged her shoulders. "Which words should I watch? I'm talking facts here. Luckily Anne has more patience in dealing with a psycho woman like Giselle who chases her husband. If I was in Anne's position I don't know what I would've done to that woman. But, well, Anne has a kind heart as wide as the ocean that no one else has, so it's different."
Erick and Nicholas immediately turned to Jack. they were both worried that Jack would be angry with Alice's words. Therefore, the two of them immediately turned to look at the master who now seemed to be still sitting quietly and not showing his anger, even though Alice had deliberately teased him many times.
Alice herself, who did not feel any guilt, then chose to leave Jack's room because the director of the bank who was previously picked up by several Muller Finance International staff wanted to talk to her again regarding the disbursement of the previously frozen money, where the money was currently in the account of a private bank in the Middle East.
After Alice left, Jack just took a deep breath. He then turned to Erick and Nicholas who were still standing not far from where he was sitting. "It seems Alice is right, I am a very insensitive person."
"Please forgive Alice, sir... she just..."
"I'm not mad at her, Erick. Don't worry, I can't possibly fire someone my wife trusted so much. Moreover, she's also the woman you love, I'm just grateful that Alice wants to talk to you like before. So now I realize that I'm too apathetic to the people around me so I've been taken advantage of many times by people I've trusted for a long time, but oh well, I don't want to remember that anymore. I want the two of you to investigate Giselle Allen. Somehow, I suddenly have suspicions about her. Even though this is a hacking case but everything seems to have been well planned, starting with the reappearance of Frederick and the Interpol. It doesn't make sense for the Interpol to come to a company whose money was stolen in such a short period of time. Moreover, they can be sure that the company's money reaches the terrorists in the Middle East. Interpol surely won't come so soon," said Jack at length, expressing the thoughts that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Okay sir, I understand," said Erick quickly.
Jack nodded his head slowly. "Take Nicholas with you, he will be of great help to you."
"Yes sir, then please excuse you."
"Okay."
Erick and Nicholas then left Jack to carry out the orders they got. When Erick passed by Alice's room, he smiled when he saw Alice who was still very busy at work. Alice was really a good girl, as Anne had always told him all along.
"No wonder the madam suits your girl very well, her mouth is very sharp," Nicholas said softly as he was about to enter the elevator teasing Erick who was still looking at Alice's room.
Eric chuckled. "That's how it is. Alice is the only employee who dares to disobey Master's unreasonable orders. I'm really very lucky to have her." Erick's eyes lit up when he talked about Alice.
"Don't let her go again or you'll regret it," Nicholas added sincerely, patting Erick on the shoulder just before the elevator doors closed.
Eric smiled. "Of course not, I won't let her go again."
After his two assistants left, Jack then went to the IT room to make sure his best IT staff had fixed the company's security system. Even though there was no significant damage but still Jack had to change and repair the system so that similar incidents did not happen again.
"How is it? Have you found out where the hacker came from?" asked Jack quietly to about ten of the best IT staff at Muller Finance International.
"It is confirmed that they are indeed from the Middle East, sir. Our tracking results show that this hacker is not a new player, he has attacked other companies quite often and his method is the same. Stealing their assets and demanding ransom or taking money as happened to us for funding the terrorists in that country, sir," answered one of the most experienced IT team heads answering Jack's question.
Jack nodded his head slowly. "I see, so apparently they have done this many times. Okay, no problem. The most important thing now is that we have to improve the system and must be more vigilant so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again in the future. Right now we are still lucky because they only took our money, not all the important data, although some of our customer data is leaked."
"Yes, sir. We will fix everything and please forgive us for this incident." the ten IT people spoke simultaneously in response to Jack's words.
Jack smiled. Not long after, he left the room because suddenly Anne contacted him via video call.
"Yes, Love..."
"Where are you? Why don't you go say goodbye to me? Are you tired of this bothersome me? Did you go visit Giselle, your schoolmate who made that masturbation video for you, huh?"
Anne, who was already teary-eyed, immediately bombarded Jack with questions that were completely unexpected by Jack.
"Why are you silent? You can't answer me, can you? Oh, well, then I'm sorry. I will not interfere when your date with your school friend, bye ...." Beep
Jack, who had not answered Anne's first question, was already panic by Anne's further questions, and he could not say anything when Anne hung up the call. It was the first time that Jack had seen her like that during the time he had known Anne.
Not wanting to make Anne even more upset, Jack finally contacted Anne to provide an explanation, but his efforts were in vain because Anne had immediately blocked his cell phone number. Damn, the pregnant woman was very angry apparently.
Not losing his mind, Jack then contacted Luis. On the first and second attempts, Luis did not pick up the call. Jack was very sure that Luis was playing with Christian. Then on the third try, his call was picked up by Luis and right now Luis was playing in the garden with Christian, in the rabbit cage.
"What are you doing Luis?" Jack asked surprised when he saw Luis' face on his cell phone screen.
"I'm being the wife of a rabbit breeder, sir. The young master asked me to do this," replied Luis with a smile.
"Jesus ... and you were silent when asked by my son to decorate your face like that?" asked Jack again in disbelief.
Louis smiled. "As long as young master is happy, I will gladly do it, sir."
"Including using lipstick and blush on your face like that?"
Luis laughed. He then changed the camera capture and showed the other servants around the rabbit cage. "It's not just me, sir. Noah and some of the other maids are the same."
Seeing the pathetic condition of his servants, Jack laughed out loud. He really couldn't believe his servants were forced to dress up by his two-year-old son.
"What game are you guys playing really, Luis?" Jack asked again with a laugh.
Luis then told him what they were doing at Christian's orders, while Luis spoke, Jack continued to laugh out loud. He couldn't believe his two-year-old son asked the servants to act as if their farm was robbed by the mafia, the male servants were asked to be women and the female servants acted as criminals with Christian. Because Christian was the leader of the mafia group that would rob the rabbits.
Jack even had tears in his eyes when Luis spoke, his laugh was really very loose. He was very proud of his son.
"Okay, enough, don't talk anymore. I could die from laughing, so now I ask where is my wife?" asked Jack while wiping the tears that rolled down his face.
Luis was silent. He then looked around and again changed the camera capture from the front camera to the rear camera. "Look sir, Madam is currently relaxing on the balcony with the two maids serving her."
Jack immediately narrowed his eyes trying to see Luis' camera capture, it was clear that Anne was currently relaxing on the long sofa on the balcony, massaging her head.
"Has my wife eaten, Luis?"
Luis changed the camera capture again. "Yes sir, but well as you know there is no food that does not come out after he eats."
"Oh my God, okay then I'll hang up. I'll be right back in Luxembourg," said Jack hoarsely.
"Is the matter resolved, sir?"
"Yes, although not completely. Well, I have to go."
Jack immediately turned off the video connection with Luis and immediately left that place to immediately go to the airport. What Jack had in mind at this time was Anne and their baby. Anne must have been in a lot of torment because she couldn't eat and Jack was very worried about it. He didn't want anything untoward to happen to Anne and the baby. Jack had vowed to do anything this time, he didn't want to lose another moment like when Anne was pregnant with Christian.
"Wait for me, babe, I'll be home in an hour," Jack said quietly as he stared at his cell phone which showed a beautiful photo of Anne working in the coffee shop when they were in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
