I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 129 – Jack’s Plan 2

The question from Anne really made Jack smile widely. He unconsciously grabbed Anne's face and stroked her cheek gently.

"Yes, make them feel what you feel. It's enough for them to laugh over your wound all this time. Prove that you can also do what they did to you, Anne," Jack replied excitedly.

"How? I-I don't know, Jack, I don't know what to do …"

"Hush! Don't panic, you have me, Anne. Remember you're not alone now, you have me who will help and support everything you do," Jack replied quickly, trying to revive Anne.

"But if I get back at them, I'm afraid God will be angry with me, Jack," said Anne softly, looking down.

Hearing Anne alluding to God made Jack almost laugh out loud. Since childhood, his parents had never taken him to church as they were busy, so he didn't believe in God's justice. 

"If God exists and God loves me, there is no way I can be like this, Anne," Jack said softly as he leaned on the sofa with a chuckle.

"What do you mean?" asked Anne, confused.

"I will tell you everything if the time is right. This time, all we have to do is do what you have to do long ago, Anne," Jack replied quickly.

Anne, who was still doubtful about Jack's proposal for revenge, could only remain silent. She had never been taught to take revenge for whatever bad people had done to her since she was a child. So all this time, she could only remain silent when she received unfair treatment from many people, even from a teacher who she trusted since she was a child when she was still obediently going to the church for service every Sunday.

Jack, who knew that Anne was hesitating, only smiled. He knew that the girl in front of his eyes was too kind. That's why he tried not to talk to her too loudly. He did not want the incident a few months ago to repeat itself where Anne finally left him when he lost control.

"Anne, may I ask you something?" asked Jack quietly.

"Say it," answered Anne quietly.

"You believe in God, don't you?" asked Jack again.

"Of course, what kind of question is this? I think even small children know the question you are asking," said Anne irritably. She felt that Jack was fooling around.

"I know, don't be angry. You have to hear everything clearly, I'm not done with my question, Anne," Jack said softly, trying to reduce Anne's anger.

"Well, you are strange. Why do you ask a question that you definitely know the answer to," Anne fiercely said as she folded her arms across her chest and turned her face in another direction.

Jack smiled seeing Anne sulking. Jack gently grabbed Anne's face that looked away to face him again.

"Now listen to my real question, you know that God exists. Then will God grant the request of His servant who just sits idly by? I mean will God grant all the requests of His servants who just pray without trying?" said Jack quietly back to ask Anne.

"How could it be, Jack? God has created humans with all his physical perfection to make efforts. If God immediately gives what humans want without trying, it will create an unimaginable situation, all humans on this earth would be greedy and uncontrollable, Jack," replied Anne curtly. She did not understand why Jack asked such an easy question.

"Now that you know, it's the same with you. I know you don't want to get back to those who have wronged you, you just keep quiet and let God repay them for you. But if you don't try to find justice for yourself, then do you think God will? Will He do it for you? If you keep quiet, then it means God thinks that you are sincere and accept everything that happened to you, Anne," said Jack, quickly responding to Anne's words.

Thump!

Thump!

Anne immediately fell silent when she heard Jack's words, her chest felt tight at once.

"As you said earlier, Anne, God will not give what His servant asks for just by praying. Maybe there is something that He grants, but not all. If you don't try, then God will not give punishment to them. Unless if you really have already forgive them and accept all the fair treatment from those bad guys to you all this time," said Jack again, trying to convince Anne.

"I-I don't know, Jack, I'm confused," said Anne stammered.

"Marianne Ariela, listen to me. I'm not asking you to do something bad to them. What I'm asking is that you can fight and seek justice for yourself, Anne. Sometimes, there are times when people like them are given a little lesson so that they are aware and don't act arbitrarily. Do you want other women out there to experience something similar to you like this? Being cheated by a friend, betrayed and insulted by her husband like you, Anne. You certainly don't want that, right?" asked Jack softly.

Anne shook her head slowly at Jack's words. She didn't want what she had experienced to happen to other women.

"If you don't want that to happen to other women, then you have to go out, Anne, show them that what they did was wrong. This is no longer a matter of revenge for yourself, Anne, it is more of a form of self-awareness for them that what they did was wrong. Show your friend Steffani that happiness by seizing the happiness of another woman is not eternal, teach that bastard lion that in this world not everything can be judged from the outward appearance alone. Many beautiful things are stored from the physical appearance that is seen," said Jack again.

Anne became even more silent at all of Jack's words. Her mind was turbulent. She was in a deep dilemma after hearing everything Jack had to say.

"If you really insist on being patient and quiet in accepting their treatments, then just enjoy what you feel, Anne. Don't blame anyone if you get sick and hurt when the people who hurt you are laughing freely out there," Jack added softly as he got up from the sofa and was planning to go home. Jack felt that all his words were in vain, because Anne seemed not interested and insisted on staying silent.

Jack slowly grabbed his expensive coat that was lying on the other sofa and carried it, then stepped towards the door to go home because it was very late. When he almost reached the door, he stopped when suddenly Anne hugged him from behind with her body shaking violently.

"H-help me, Jack, help me teach them a lesson,"
