Chapter 184 - Protective
Chapter 184 – Protective
Jack just landed from his private jet after traveling quite a distance from Switzerland for 1 hour 35 minutes. Jack had finished his family matters. By including all the available evidence, finally Edmund and Johnny were not allowed to use Muller's last name again because they had nothing to do with the Muller family. Once Jack revealed the family secret to the public, everyone now cursed Johnny and his son Edmund for being considered ignorant and ungrateful.
Even the supporters of Johnny and Edmund resigned one by one. They initially supported Edmund who was serving as deputy CEO rose to replace Jack as CEO of Muller Finance International in Switzerland. But after learning that he was only the son of the Muller family's adopted son, whose background was unclear, finally the stock leaders who had been influenced by Johnny had now returned to Jack's side. They even withdrew their support for Edmund, so that Edmund did not have anyone in the company to support him. Finally, he was simply fired from his position as well as his father Johnny. Even through a court decision, finally Johnny and Edmund were prohibited from using Muller's name again after their first name, because Jack as the heir to the Muller family objected and Jack's request for the prohibition was approved. So starting yesterday, Johnny and Edmund were no longer part of the rich family in Switzerland. They were just strangers who received a little pity from the Muller family.
The mass media also reported this in droves. They were competing to publish the story of the Muller family's adopted son who wanted to control all the assets of the family. Seeing all the chaos, Jack smiled with satisfaction. His steps by revealing Jonny and Edmund's secret identities were successful. Without him taking much trouble, the community had already punished the father and son. After the name Muller was removed from their last names, all family facilities had to be automatically returned by them, starting from the luxury houses, luxury cars, credit cards and several plantations managed by Jason. Jack's father used to feel sorry for Johnny so he gave him two hectares of high-quality wineries and factories, but because Jack had lost his patience, he finally reclaimed all of his family property from the hands of Johnny and his son, so that when they were kicked out of the Muller family tree, they also lost all the luxuries they get for free.
Jack, who was scheduled to meet one of the successful businessmen in England once he returned to London, was forced to cancel the meeting after he read the message from Erick. Without thinking, Jack went with his men to the hospital where Erick found Anne's car parked in a special patient area, because only patients could park in that area. That was why Jack was sure that something had happened to Anne.
After hanging up the phone with Erick, who was still in the hospital, Jack then turned his head to look at Anne's bandaged leg. It was a little swollen and red that made him uncomfortable. But because he knew Anne was not a careless person, Jack's emotions burned.
"Who made you like this?" Jack asked coldly without taking his eyes off Anne's injured leg.
"I-I did it to myself," answered Anne curtly.
"How could a fool hurt her own leg, Anne? Don't hide anything from me. Quickly, tell me who made you like this?" Jack rebuked in a rising voice accompanied by a sharp look at Anne.
"I'm not lying, Jack. It was my fault. I was in the toilet of a mall and I didn't notice that there was a difference in floor height in the toilet, so when I backed up I accidentally almost fell because my feet weren't strong enough. So my feet…"
"Walk backwards?!!! Are you Michael Jackson who can walk backwards?!" Jack shouted back.
"Can Michael Jackson walk backwards?" asked Anne innocently by giving her adorable puppy eyes.
Being looked at by Anne like that made Jack's already high emotions disappear immediately. His heart, which was previously beating fast with anger, suddenly raced much faster, out of anger, but out of hs bubbling feelings of longing. Because he didn't want to hurt Anne, Jack finally closed his eyes while leaning back on the seat. He pretended to be annoyed to hide his true feelings.
Curious about how Michael Jackson could walk backwards as Jack said, Anne reached for her cell phone which was in her pocket. She quickly browsed the data on the internet to find articles about the walking backwards of Michael Jackson, the king of pop. Anne's face immediately turned red when she saw the video of Michael Jackson's moonwalk which he usually practiced on stage.
"This is not walking backward, Jack, it's just Michael Jackson's dance move," said Anne quietly, a little disappointed when she saw Michael Jackson's walking backward, which was called the moonwalk.
Jack, who was still trying to calm himself down, didn't respond to Anne's words. He didn't want to let himself go and ended up hurting Anne by expressing his longing to her, considering that her leg was currently injured.
Because her goal of looking for a way back from Michael Jackson was over, Anne then put her cell phone back into her pocket. When she looked down the highway, Anne finally realized that the car that was taking her was not going to her apartment.
"Jack, this is not the direction to my apartment. Your driver took the wrong direction, Jack," said Anne quietly.
"Shut up, Anne, don't bother me. You better stay quiet, isn't your leg hurt? You better rest," replied Jack curtly without changing his position.
"Yeah but I want to go home, Jack, I don't want to…"
"How can you get back to your apartment, Anne? Who's going to help you? Are you going up and down the stairs with your feet wrapped in bandages like that? Don't you want your leg to recover soon? What if your leg is getting worse?" Jack asked incessantly as he sat staring unblinkingly at Anne in a loud voice.
Being shouted at by Jack made Anne silent and lowered her head.
"When you're doing something, you should think about it first, Anne. Check whether it's good or bad. If you're alone in your apartment, who will help you around? Who will help you eat and treat your wounds? Think about it, don't just talk," said Jack slowly adding to his previous words.
"Then where are we going?" Anne asked quietly.
"My house," Jack answered simply.
"No, Jack, I don't want to trouble you. I can…"
"Shut up and don't talk too much or I'll make you shut up my way," said Jack coldly threatening Anne.
Anne closed her lips again. She knew what Jack was talking about. The thought of being brought to Jack's house made her nervous. She didn't have any change of clothes. Meanwhile, if she was to stay over, she had to take a shower and change her clothes. Anne was really nervous about that.
"About my clothes, Jack, how do I get changed at your house?" asked Anne quietly trying to pluck herself up.
"We can buy it at…"
"No, I don't want to wear new clothes that haven't been washed," Anne shrieked loudly.
Hearing Anne's words made Jack take a deep breath. He then grabbed his cell phone and called Erick again.
"Go to Anne's apartment with Alice and bring Anne's clothes and personal equipment to my house. You only have thirty minutes, Erick. Remember, only Alice is allowed to touch Anne's belongings, if you dare touch them, I will break your hand!!"
