I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 470 – Team Work

While Nicholas was explaining the names of those suspected of having ulterior motives to Alan, Mr. David Clarke and Luis returned. They also joined in the meeting. As long as Nicholas spoke, no one said a word, nor when Erick began to explain his plans afterwards.

Clap, clap, clap!

"Great! I'm sure this idea will work. I believe in you, Mr. Maguire…"

"Erick, sir, just call me by my first name," said Erick, quickly cutting off Mr. David Clarke's words. He didn't feel like he deserved to be called master by David Clarke.

Mr. David Clarke chuckled. "I like you, Erick. So, continue your conversation. It seems my old body needs some rest," Luis, who understood the master's words, nodded slowly. He then got up from his chair and rushed to push Mr. David Clarke's wheelchair to his room, leaving Alan and his guests to continue the meeting. After meeting the cops who helped him investigate the car accident that killed his grandson, Mr David Clarke needed a break. It turned out that his suspicions were correct. Roger Douglas and his father, Stevano Douglas were the people who wanted his wealth, the Clarke family treasure that will now belong to Jack, his second grandson.

After helping Mr. David Clarke laid down on his bed, Luis then covered his master's body with a comfortable blanket. "Trust them, sir, now you just have to wait. Once that's all done, we can have a proper funeral for the young master."

"Yes Luis, I can't wait for that day to come. I hope Anne is pregnant before the last goodbye to Alan is held," said Mr. David Clarke, closing his eyes.

Luis smiled at his master's words. Not long after that, Luis rushed out of his master's room after hearing the gentle snoring came from his master. He stepped and closed the door carefully. After doing his job, Luis rushed to his room to change into his taekwondo uniform.  Usually, he would train in the gym when his master was resting. He kept practicing as he didn't want to lose his martial arts skills.

When Luis went to the training ground, Alice, who was helping Noah at the dinner table, accidentally saw him.

"Actually, who is the man with the big master, Noah?" asked Alice in a half whisper. "He's not just a random person, is he?"

Noah pursed his lips. Slowly, he placed the bottle of wine on the dining table. "Luis is the only assistant of Big Master. He is a former special police officer who chose to resign from his job after his family died. Since then, he has devoted himself to Master, although the police still want him to return to work again."

"Resign?"

"Yes, his wife and child died in a bloody incident. And the police at that time ignored the incident and just closed the case without conducting a more detailed investigation, even though Luis was on a mission to carry out his important duties as a special police officer. When he returned to the city and finding his wife and child died horribly, Luis was furious. After he vented his frustration on his fellow police officers who didn't care about his family, Luis finally resigned from the police. It was discovered that the mother and child did not die in an ordinary accident, but were targeted by the organization that was previously destroyed by Luis. These people only wanted to hurt Louis's wife and child to take revenge at first, but who would have thought that the mother and child actually died as they were baked alive in a car that was brutally hit," Noah said at length.

"Jesus!" cried Alice spontaneously.

"It's so sad, isn't it?"

"Th-then what about the criminals? Shouldn't they be punished?" Alice asked curiously.

"Luis had punished them all. The organization was destroyed and Luis' reputation was restored. The police asked him to return to work but Luis, who had got bitter, refused. He lived on the streets, depressed and drunk, and became a feared man at that time. Finally he met Master, and as you can see today, Luis is still serving him faithfully without ever having any intention to get married again. But I must ask you, Miss, not to bring up this problem. Because Luis always thinks his wife and child died with in a good way. He always loses control when he is reminded of his wife and child being roasted alive," Noah ended his story with teary eyes.

Alice was teary eyes as well, like Noah. She had even shed tears as she heard the story of Luis' wife and child, which was so sad. 

"Don't cry, Miss," Noah said softly as he held out a tissue to Alice.

With tears in her eyes, Alice took the tissue from Noah. "You cry too, Noah." Alice protested.

"But promise me you will never discuss this with anyone else, Miss."

Alice nodded. "But why are you telling me this?"

"Because I believe you're a good person like Mrs. Anne. That's why I'm telling you. I believe that Madam's friends can be trusted," Noah answered honestly.

Alice smiled. She was flattered to be trusted by Noah. "Don't worry, Noah, I can be trusted like Anne. She's my role model, so you don't have to worry."

"I believe that, Miss, you must really like Madam, right?"

"So much! She is my role model."

Noah laughed at Alice's words. The two of them resumed their business in setting the dining table because the maids who brought the food had came into the dining room. While Alan and the others were still in the meeting, they now knew who to take care of first, especially adding to the information they received from Mr. David Clarke before.

"Ok, since we already know what to do, I entrust this to the two of you. Continue your meeting. I'm hungry," Alan said quietly while holding his stomach which had not been filled with a morsel since he woke up a few hours ago. . "Can you guys continue this meeting without me?"

"Yes sir." Erick and Nicholas answered in unison.

"Fine, then continue. I trust you both." Alan said quickly as he looked at the large clock that was leaning firmly on the wall.

When he smelled the aroma of his favorite food, Alan went straight to the dining table. "Wow this food looks great! Is it okay if I eat dinner first?"

"Please, Young Master." Noah answered politely.

"Good! Bring two servings to my room. I want all the dishes, so my wife and I will enjoy the food that you will enjoy, even though we are in the room," said Alan again, as he grabbed the bottle of wine that Noah had previously placed in the wine bucket on the dining table.

"In the room?" said Alice subconsciously.

Alan turned to Alice. "Sure, didn't I tell you earlier that you would be able to meet my wife tomorrow morning? Do I need to remind you what we'll be doing in the room in a moment?"

"No, thanks." Alice immediately refused firmly while waving her hands in front of her chest. She didn't want to hear any more perverted words from Alan.

Alan chuckled. He then opened the bottle of wine in his hand and immediately drank it while walking towards his room on the second floor.

After Alan walked up the stairs, Noah and the servants immediately carried out the young master's orders. They prepared the tray for him and his wife in the room.
