I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 294 – The Cousin’s Rotten Plan

The world was in an uproar after seeing the live broadcast of Sophia Higgins who gave a statement that the song she claimed to be her song was actually created by someone else, a mysterious woman named Ariella, who was mentioned by Sophia as the creator of that song. Suddenly, the big companies that hired Sophia Higgins as their model immediately canceled their collaborations. They didn't want to work with a liar like Sophia. Even the music label where she belonged immediately terminated the cooperation contract which would still be in place for the next eight years. They preferred to pay for the remaining contract rather than having to keep providing a place for Sophia to work. For them, there was no place for a thief. In an instant, Sophia Higgins's popularity was destroyed. All social media platforms contained articles discussing Sophia Higgins' confession that she was not the composer of the Symphony of Life song that made her famous as a pianist when she was a child.

Jack, who was at his desk, was smiling when he saw all the news featuring Sophie Higgins' articles, there was no pity or empathy at all from Jackson Patrick Muller towards Sophia Higgins, who was his ex-fiancée.

"It's certain that Miss Sophia's career is ruined, sir, I'm sure there won't be a single music company willing to work with her again," Erick said quietly as he grabbed his tablet that Jack had just used.

Jack smiled contentedly. "Good, a thief should get some karma for what she did years ago and I don't think it's just Sophia who has to endure all this. Hannah and Robert Higgins should also get the same karma too, so they can felt Anne's pain when she was little."

"Yes, sir, Hannah and Robert Higgins' names have been widely discussed. They are considered as parents who have failed because they covered up Sophia's actions. Some people even who have ties to them have openly cut ties with the Higgins family at this time," Eric answered quickly.

Jack nodded his head. He was happy and satisfied with what Sophia and her parents got. At least, with this, he had kept a great distance from Sophia and her parents, so that they would no longer bother him and Anne. Because dinner time was almost over, Jack decided to immediately go up to the second floor to invite Anne to have dinner with him. While walking on the stairs, Jack stopped his steps when he saw Robert Higgins, whom he had beaten so badly, being carried out of the room by his two bodyguards. Meanwhile, Hannah, who hugged Sophia, followed behind. Tonight they would be escorted back to Switzerland using his private jet. Jack deliberately acted quickly so that Anne would not have to see them again. He did not want Anne to be upset again when she saw those people.

After the Higgins really left his house, Jack then proceeded to his room on the second floor where Anne was. As soon as he stepped into the room, Jack was surprised to see Anne was sitting on the floor directly under the window with her head down. He immediately ran to her.

"Anne, why are you sitting like this? Wake up, Anne!!"

Anne lifted her head, staring straight at Jack in front of her.

"Jack…"

"Yes, Anne."

Anne moved her hand to touch Jack's handsome face which was still clearly visible. "What did I do wrong, Jack?"

Jack shook his head. "You're not wrong, Anne, what we're doing is right. Sophia and her parents deserve all of this."

"But they were good, Jack, if they weren't there maybe my parents and I wouldn't eat," said Anne quietly, looking down.

"Listen to me, Anne." Jack grabbed Anne's chin and lifted her up. "Every human being must be given a blessing from God, through whoever hands He choose. So suppose you and your parents got food from the Higgins family then it was because of God's plan that He had arranged, He gave His blessing through that family for you and your parents. So don't talk like that anymore, don't feel indebted to them Anne. After all, what they gave to your family is not worth what they took from you and your mother. Sophia has lived a life of luxury for many years, and has fame, was adored and coveted by people. It has nothing to do with what they gave you. They should have paid you more by now."

Anne was silent, she did not respond to Jack's words, because what Jack said was true. The Higgins had indeed been having too much fun enjoying what she should have enjoyed.

"So… from now on stop remembering them, you don't have to think about those bad guys, Anne. After all, I've gotten rid of them, so you don't have to worry anymore. From now on, you can live in peace with me. I'll never leave you, Anne. I will always be beside you, no matter what the situation is. What is certain is that I will always be beside you forever, I promise you that, Anne," said Jack gently by squeezing Anne's hand more firmly.

Anne smiled. There was a warm feeling in her chest when she heard Jack's words. When she was about to respond to Jack's words, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and Jack immediately noticed the change in Anne's expression.

"What's wrong, Anne?" asked Jack quickly.

"Jack, I-I…"

"What's wrong with you?" Jack impatiently interrupted Anne's words quickly.

"I'm hungry," said Anne shortly with her face flushed red with embarrassment.

Jack was silent. He froze in confusion for a while before his brain could finally digest Anne's words again.

"You're hungry?" Jack repeated her words to confirming what he had just heard.

A small nod from Anne was clearly visible when Jack finished speaking. Jack finally got up from the floor and invited Anne out of the room to the dining table. He himself, who had not actually eaten, did not feel hungry until suddenly the worms in his stomach revolted, asking to be filled with food after hearing Anne's confession that she was hungry. Not long after, Jack and Anne arrived in the dining room. The waiters, who were ready to do their job, served the meal.

Because Erick was still busy receiving calls from several people in Switzerland, he refused Jack's invitation to eat. As a result, at this time, only Anne and Jack were enjoying dinner together. As someone who was close to Sophia, the case couldn't help but drag Jack's name into this case. That was why Erick acted quickly. He immediately asked his men to take care of everything.

Bam!

"Fuck…! Sophia. What a pity for that woman." Edmund, who was in his study, looked very surprised when he read the news about Sophia.

"You have to act, son. I'm pretty sure this must have something to do with Jackson. We'd better get the Higgins family. Let's invite them to join forces to bring down that arrogant kid." Jhonny, who had just come from the pantry, spoke in response to the words of his only son.

"Yeah Dad, I'll pick them up from the airport. Wait for my revenge, Jack. I'll take back what's mine."
