I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 283 - Message From The Past

Since all of her work has been completed, Anne planned to go home early to rest, even though her working hours were still long. She felt uncomfortable being in the same building with Jack and Aaron, Anne didn\'t care about the other staffs who were talking about Jack and Aaron. They admired the good looks of the two young CEOs who had just arrived. Even Isabel and Gabriela postponed their lunch because they both preferred to join the others to see Jack and Aaron enjoying their lunch with Leon in the employee cafeteria.

"Huff, why do they have to do that? Aren\'t what they saw are humans too?" said Anne quietly when she saw all her coworkers still gathered on the edge of the glass windows, staring at Jack and Aaron, who were still in the cafeteria.

Since there was no one to be found, Anne finally decided to go home without saying goodbye to anyone directly, even though Anne had sent a message to Leon and to HR Department. When Anne went down to the lobby, the office atmosphere was completely deserted, there was no one there. Everyone was completely hypnotized by the arrival of the two handsome CEOs. The staff who used to eat out were even willing to line up in the cafeteria just to see the two guests.

After leaving the office, Anne stopped a taxi to go home to her new apartment. She did not immediately get into the taxi that had stopped in front of her when she saw the person she had been looking for was standing next to a black car that stopped not far from where she was. Immediately all of Anne\'s tiredness disappeared. When she saw the person got into her car, Anne immediately got into the taxi and asked the taxi driver to follow the black car carrying the person that Anne wanted to meet the most.

After following the black luxury car, the taxi finally stopped in front of a fairly large mall because the car they were following seemed to have entered the basement of the mall.

"The car entered the parking area, Miss, do we need to enter the underground parking of this mall?" asked the taxi driver friendly.

Handing over the taxi fare, Anne said, "No sir, I\'ll just get off here. Thank you."

"Okay Miss, but… this is too much money, Miss."

"Keep it, sir, it\'s thank you money from me," said Anne shortly without turning to the taxi driver.

After saying that, Anne then rushed into the mall. She wanted to make sure that she had not seen the wrong person. Even though it had been years, Anne could still recognize the faces of the people, the one who stole her mother\'s inheritance. Anne, who had never been to a luxury mall, looked confused when she saw a lot of young women in the mall, going in and out of branded goods stores in the mall. Although not 100% sure yet, Anne somehow felt that the person she had just followed was the person she was looking for. As her curiosity was very high, Anne finally decided to start looking. Walking around the mall hoping for a miracle to find the people she had followed earlier among the hundreds of other people who were in the mall.

Sophia and her parents who had just followed Jack decided to have lunch because they were hungry. They had been in the car parked in front of Ganke Inc. Production. While in the car, Sophia talked a lot. She told her parents about the development of Jack\'s new office in London. Robert and Hannah Higgins were even more excited to match their daughter back with Jack, the man was truly a source of gold at this time. That was why Robert Higgins and his wife fully support their daughter in pursuing Jack again.

"Ganke Inc. Production, a company that produces the best animated films from Germany. Oh so now Jack is starting to invest his money in companies like this, that\'s great. At least, the more effort you make, the bigger the profit you get, my dear," said Hannah Higgins quietly while caressing Sophia\'s head after reading the article about the company Jack was in.

"Yeah, it\'s a good company too. I like the way Jack thinks now, the kid is getting smart in developing his business." Robert Higgins said, as he read an article about Ganke Inc.? Production.

"Yes Mom, actually I\'m not surprised if Jacky can develop his business that fast. Jacky is the smartest person I know, Mom, so I\'m sure he can definitely make Muller Finance International bigger than it is now," answered Sophia with confidence. Her eyes gleamed at the mention of Jack\'s name.

Their conversation stopped when the food they ordered came. Sophia, who had always been pampered by her parents since childhood, only wanted to eat food from a restaurant in a 5-star hotel. She always refused cheap food, ??therefore now they are enjoying a meal at a three-star restaurant. This three-star was the highest honor a restaurant could receive, and it was said that only about 120 restaurants worldwide had received a three-star Michelin rating.

As soon as the food came, they seemed to be enjoying themselves and eating gracefully, like most other rich people. Hannah Higgins really made Sophia an expensive woman, that was why she now insisted on getting Jack as a son-in-law, because if Sophia married Jack, then her life would also be guaranteed. A few years ago when Sophia was still Jack\'s fiancée, at that time her life was very secure. As future parents-in-law of Jackson Patrick Muller at the time, Hannah and Robert Higgins got many luxurious facilities from the places they visited. That was why now they were trying hard to get that luxury back.

After circling for almost 30 minutes, Anne finally found what she was looking for. Her legs suddenly felt weak when she looked at the luxurious restaurant in front of her.

"It\'s true, it\'s you. Even though you\'ve changed a lot but I can still recognize you, Selma," said Anne softly with teary eyes. Her chest suddenly hurt and constricted when she looked at Robert and Hannah. "It turns out that your kindness to me back then was not out of sincerity, you were that kind to me because you wanted to make your child famous even in a very cunning way. You are the most evil parents I know, very bad." Anne\'s lips trembled as she thought. Her hands tightened against her aching chest. Anne recalled when she was kicked out by Robert, Selma\'s father, when she was going to meet Selma, who had competed using her mother\'s song that she had been playing in front of Selma.

Anne closed her eyes. What had happened decades ago seemed like it just happened yesterday. It was really painful. The laughter and smiles of the Selma family made Anne\'s pain even more intense. But finally, Anne realized that things would not be over just by crying. Anne then wiped her tears and walked slowly towards the restaurant where Sophia was. She then wrote something on a note that she left to the waiter to give to Sophia. After giving the note, Anne then rushed off. She didn\'t want them to see her.

"Excuse me, Miss, I got a message to give this to you, Miss," said waitress softly to Sophia, who was enjoying a dish of Foie gras sprinkled with caviar.

"Huff another fan. Oh yes, give me more red wine," said Sophia arrogantly. She thought that the one who gave her the note was one of her fans.

"Yes, Miss," replied the waitress politely.

Sophia only smiled sarcastically at the waitress who had just left. She then confidently opened the note given to her.

"Ahhh!!!!" Sophia screamed loudly as she read the writing on the note the waitress had just given her. She even threw the paper onto the table full of dirty dishes.

"What\'s wrong, Honey?" asked Hannah Higgins in surprise.

Sophia didn\'t answer her mother\'s question. She only used one finger to point at the paper that was already on the steak plate.

Out of curiosity, Robert grabbed the paper which had surprised his daughter. His eyes widened when he saw the writing on the dirty paper. His mouth even opened wide in shock. The curious Hannah finally snatched the paper from her husband\'s hand.

Crash!

The fork that was on Hannah\'s plate fell to the floor when Hannah accidentally bumped it, the paper she had just read fell on her plate which was still full of delicious food.

"How is my mother\'s song, Selma? Are you already famous using that song?"

Anne\'s short writing that only Sophia and her parents could understand was clearly visible on the white paper which was now dirty with red steak sauce, which made Anne\'s writing even more sinister now for the Higgins family, who really understood the meaning of the writing.
