Chapter 481 - Paying Off The Debt
Chapter 481 – Paying Off The Debt
Mr. David Clarke brought Anne back to London on a Boeing Business Jet 747-8, a plane that had a home-like interior, or a business-only one. Not only that, there were 2 dining table options, namely formal and casual. This plane was an aircraft that was claimed to have the largest cabin of all other private jets. The plane could also accommodate at least 100 people. Overall, this aircraft had a length of 63.2 m.
Alice was still amazed when she got on the plane. Even though Muller Finance International also had a private jet but the jet that was taking them out of Luxembourg was now much bigger and more luxurious than Jack's.
"I believe Mr. David Clarke's wealth is 10 times that of Mr. Jack's, Anne." Alice whispered softly to Anne who was sitting on a sofa facing the large flat TV.
Anne immediately pinched Alice's waist.
"Anne! It hurts…!"
"Hush! Don't talk about that, it's not good, Alice."
Alice chuckled. "But I'm speaking the facts, Anne. I'm sure it's because of his wealth that the big master is desperately protecting his grandson."
Anne was silent. She then leaned her body on the sofa, closing her eyes.
"Yes, you're right, Alice, wealth that causes anyone to go crazy and ambitious to own it to the point of taking the life of a human being," said Anne quietly.
Alice smiled faintly at Anne's words. She slowly turned to Mr. David Clarke who was being pushed by Luis into the bedroom in the middle of the plane. The beautiful flight attendants were busy preparing food and drinks for Anne and Alice. They served very well and efficiently.
"Excuse me, Miss, how long is this flight?" Alice asked pleasantly to the flight attendant who had just placed the truffles on the table.
"Our current flight only takes about 1 hour 15 minutes, Miss," replied the flight attendant friendly.
"I see. Well, thanks for the information."
"With pleasure. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Alice shook her head. "Not for now."
"Fine, then if you'll excuse me."
Alice smiled in response to the words of the beautiful flight attendant who had just served her. She then turned to Anne who had closed her eyes. Even though she was sure that Anne wasn't really sleeping, Alice looked careful as she started to enjoy the food that was served in front of her. Her eyes immediately lit up when she enjoyed the beef fillet carpaccio. Since working at Muller Finance International, Alice had always enjoyed luxurious food but the food she just ate today was far better than all the other foods she had tasted.
Alice was enjoying the food in front of her when suddenly Luis came over. He immediately sat right in front of Anne and Alice with a straight face. Seeing Luis sitting in front of her, Alice felt uncomfortable. She tried to wake up Anne, who actually aware of Luis' presence.
"Is Grandpa asleep?" asked Anne quietly to Luis who had just grabbed the wine glass from the table.
"Yes, Miss, Master always sleeps on a flight like this," Luis replied briefly.
"I've been too much trouble to Grandpa, Luis," said Anne quietly, full of regret, as she lowered her head.
Luis smiled. He then put the glass he was holding on the table after sipping it a little. "No, Miss, Master is actually very happy and excited."
"Excited?"
"Yes, Master has always dreamed of going with his granddaughter-in-law to enjoy the rest of his life which is not long anymore. The big master always says he wants to make the woman who will become the young master's partner happy. That's why he never agreed with Mr. Alan when he was still alive. Master had given Mr. Alan the freedom to find his own girlfriend, as he doesn't want to repeat the big mistake he made decades ago," Luis replied with a smile.
"About the relationship between Alan and Jack's parents?"
Luis nodded slowly. "That's right, Master always regrets that big mistake. Although on the outside he acts as if nothing happened, but he always mourns the loss of his only son who he had thrown out of the house."
Alice, who didn't know about the story of Alan and Jack's parents, almost choked if she didn't reach for the water in front of her immediately. "How far must it go?" Alice asked in disbelief.
"Every family has a dark secret that they keep tightly, Miss, and so is the Clarkes. As one of the noble families who have been hailed by the community since the first generation of Clarke, it is only natural for their children to be in an arranged marriage, including Mr. David and the late Mrs. Yolanda. But their story was beautiful because the family of the late Mrs. Yolanda came from a well-known class too. It was different with the late young master's parents. Mr. Calvin Clarke, who was adored by many girls from rich background equal to the Clarke family, had fallen in love with Mrs. Megan, who came from the lower class. At that time, Mrs. Megan was a pastry chef in a restaurant. Knowing his son was related to a commoner, Master was furious. Finally, he had the heart to throw out his son and daughter-in-law after asking for the baby that Mrs. Megan was carrying. Even though Mr. Clarke rejected Mrs. Megan, but he still wanted the baby she was carrying. This proved that the Master actually gave a good signal to Mr. Calvin and his wife at that time. However, because Mr. Calvin was a stubborn person, he finally chose to go with his wife with their second child. That's why the old master did not know that his grandsons were actually twins. If only he had had known that he had twin grandchildren, perhaps he would have asked for everything and raised him with love, just like when he raised young master Alan. Mr. Alan's every development was well recorded by old Mr. Clarke, starting from when he could hold his head up until he was a teenager, that's why when the team of doctors was confused to help Mr. Jack who was almost unconscious, Mr. Big offered a recording belonging to Young Master Alan to stimulate the brain of Young Master Jack, which was almost imperceptible. can work. It may sound strange, but it saved the life of Young Master Jack who now assumes the identity of Young Master Alan. That's why when the young master did something bad to Miss Anne, at that very moment he vowed to make Miss Anne happy no matter what, until finally it was discovered that Miss Anne was Mr. Jack's girlfriend. God's plan is very beautiful, isn't it?" Luis replied at length with a smile.
"So-so you mean the big master insisted on marrying Anne and Mr. Jack because…"
"He's paying the debt for the mistakes he made back then." Luis immediately cut Alice's words quickly.
Alice immediately covered her mouth quickly, while Anne, who already knew her grandfather's intentions in forcing her to marry Alan at that time, was silent. Although at first she refused because she really hated Alan who had raped her, but now Anne was grateful for her marriage after knowing that the man she hated turns out to be the man she was looking for for the past two years.
"it turned out that old Mr. Clarke is really good, as was told by Anne before," said Alice quietly.
"He's indeed, Miss, otherwise how could he provide substantial capital to Miss Linda and her husband Paul to open an even bigger business?" Luis replied with a smile.
Anne immediately gasped. "W-what do you mean, Luis?"
"It's a secret, but I'll just tell you now because soon you'll find out anyway. Unbeknownst to you, the old master has given some business capital to your friend, Miss. He gave a large enough amount of money to the husband and wife so that currently they have their own flower garden that can supply various types of flowers to other shops."
"What…? Their own flower garden?"
"Yes, at first old master wanted to give them a 6-story building to be rented, but Miss Linda refused. Instead, she asked for a flower garden, which was much cheaper than the building that was previously offered to her."
"Why did she choose land instead of a building? Even though it's clear that the price of a 6-story building in London is many times the price of a flower garden which is…"
"That's because Miss Linda didn't want to leave Miss Anne's flower shop. She said she wanted to continue managing the shop until you return, Miss Anne. Even though it was clear at that time that I explained that Miss Anne would not come back, but she still insisted and finally the flower garden was chosen," said Luis again cutting Alice's words.
Anne shed tears when she heard Luis' words. Linda was indeed loyal and sincere, unlike the friend with the initials S who she previously thought to be a sincere friend to her. Anne was getting impatient to immediately arrive in London and hugged Linda. There were a lot of things she wanted to share with Linda.
