Chapter 530 – Bullies
Anne's choice finally fell on the Mercedes S65 AMG Coupe Black, because she thought this car was the most inconspicuous of Jack's other cars which gave her goosebumps. Driving an expensive car gave Anne great comfort, she had no trouble at all. Even on the streets, she felt that other road users were giving her more access. Even though she didn't know where to go, Anne had no problems, because the car she was driving now already had advanced GPS technology, so she didn't need to use her cell phone anymore or ask other people.

Seeing Jack coming to the office shocked many staff. They didn't expect to see Jack in the office today. They thought Jack would take a week off after his grandfather's death.
"Today I have an important meeting for the whole day, so make sure no one disturbs me," said Jack softly, telling his personal secretary when he arrived at the door of his room.
"Yes sir."
"Okay, and prepare me a coffee without sugar, and for the others, you ask yourself." Jack spoke again without guilt and continued walking into his room leaving Erick, Nicholas and Alice talked to Bella, Jack's secretary, who was asking them what they wanted to drink.
Jack sat in his chair and immediately prepared for a meeting with his staff at Muller Finance International. When he was about to put his cell phone on the table, Jack accidentally saw a photo of his grandfather sitting between himself and Anne at his wedding a few months ago. In the photo, Mr. David Clarke looked very happy, his smile was wide with sparkling eyes. Who would have thought that the old man was struggling to prolong his life for the sake of his grandson?
Jack's eyes suddenly felt hot when he remembered his grandfather who had passed away. But slowly his smile grew when he remembered that his grandfather was currently in the best place. Mr. David Clarke had joined all his loved ones, along with the child he missed and his beloved daughter-in-law, wife, and grandson. And Jack was happy about it. At least, he wasn't alone, because there was Anne beside him. Jack reflexively touched the beautiful photo of Anne wearing a wedding dress. Although at that time Anne was forced to marry him while still using Alan's memory, Jack was still grateful because in the end Anne was still his. When Jack was looking at the photo of his wife, Erick, Nicholas and Alice entered.
"We will start the meeting in five minutes, sir. All the staff at the head office are waiting, including Mr. Kevin Cormier, who is very enthusiastic to meet you," Erick said quietly while connecting the projector to his laptop.
Jack smiled. "Really? I'm really lucky to have a colleague like Mr. Kevin Cormier."
"And we are lucky to have you as our boss, sir, welcome again sir," said Alice suddenly joined the conversation.
Jack chuckled at his former secretary. "You're already good at talking, Alice, it seems your abilities have greatly improved over the past two years."
"That's because you gave me the opportunity, sir. If at that time you didn't entrust the secretary position to me, maybe now I'd still be a receptionist who will not be able to develop."
Jack waved his hand in the air. "Don't say that again, Alice, you deserve to be in that position. I couldn't ask just anyone to sit in such an important position if she couldn't do it, so don't keep saying the same lines. I hate to hear that. Again, I said you deserved the position."
Alice nodded her head quickly in response to her boss' words, while Erick just smiled seeing his girlfriend received a reprimand from the boss. Because all the preparations had been completed, the meeting finally began. When the four of them sat in their respective chairs, they were finally connected with the Muller Finance International staff at the head office. The first person who appeared on the screen was Mr. Kevin Cormier, who was immediately excited. He even got up and waved his hand repeatedly at the camera for Jack to see. The meeting began. Jack officially introduced Nicholas to all his staff in Switzerland. Nicholas, who was initially nervous, was finally able to follow the course of the meeting.
"Edmund and Johnny Immanuel, both of them have tried several times to provoke many people to stop their cooperation with Muller Finance International, but they forget that at this time Muller Finance International is now much bigger than they thought. Especially with the new fact that you are actually the only grandson of Mr. David Clarke, who is very famous in Luxembourg and…"
Mr. Kevin Cormier paused for a moment before finally looking back at Jack seriously. "My deepest condolences on the passing of Mr. David Clarke. I'm very sorry I couldn't come."
Jack pursed his lips. "It's okay, sir, my grandfather has now rest in his new home too, so there is nothing to be sad about anymore. It is now the duty of those of us who are still alive to continue well, including continuing all the things he had started."
"Mr. David Clarke is lucky to have a grandson like you, Jack."
Jack smiled. After the small talk, the meeting resumed. Important discussions were resumed. Erick explained many things to Jack. During the two years without holding Muller Finance International, he had a bit of trouble. Fortunately, Erick and Alice helped him a lot, so that the meeting went very well. The staff of Muller Finance International in Switzerland could also understand what Jack wanted at this time.
Bella, Jack's secretary at Clarke Enterprise, only dared to enter twice when delivering coffee and snacks. Afterwards, she really held back everyone who wanted to talk to Jack, as Jack's previous request that no one interfere with his meeting today. Because Jack was busy he didn't realize that an email had come into his cell phone. It was an email containing several photos of a stranger who had never emailed Jack before. After replacing his grandfather as chairman of Clarke Enterprise, Jack used a new email using his last name so that only certain people could know the email address. But the person who just emailed Jack was a smart and intelligent person. He managed to easily get Jack's email address to give Jack a big surprise that was sure to make him furious.

Anne looked exhausted after running away from the person she hated the most until she ended up stranded in a clinic. Without thinking, she entered the clinic and registered. Luckily, her whereabouts at the clinic were not known by the people who were chasing her.
"Mrs. Marianne Clarke, please come in."
A nurse was heard calling Anne's name to enter the examination room, Anne quickly entered the designated room. At first, Marianne was afraid, but eventually she was able to adjust because the doctor who examined her was a very good female doctor.
"Congratulations, Madam…"
