I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 567 – Baiting The Hungry Lion

Anne sat on the sofa while massaging her aching head. She still couldn't believe what she was seeing.

A large digital screen displaying photos of her was currently installed in the house!

It was fixed, Jack was out of his mind.

"Please have some tea, Madam. This tea will help you calm down," said a maid, offering Anne a cup of chamomile tea.

Anne smiled. "Thank you."

Not long after that, the maid left Anne and resumed her work. When passing through the door, the maid ran into Nicholas who had just come down from the second floor.

"If you are tired, you can rest right away, Madam."

Anne turned to Nicholas who was now standing in front of her. "I still can't understand how he could put something like that in the house? Why don't you stop him, Nick? It's too much."

"What's too much?" Jack, who was standing on the steps, suddenly interrupted Anne's conversation.

Anne reflexively turned to look at Jack, who was now walking towards her. Anne immediately got up from the sofa and put her hands on her hips. It's getting ready to explode!

"What are you talking about with Nick, baby?"

"That." Anne immediately pointed at the videotron screen which was displaying her photos. "Get rid of that or I don't want to live in this house."

Jack followed the direction of Anne's hand, staring at the digital screen which was showing beautiful photos of Anne when she was in college. And according to Jack, those were the prettiest pictures of Anne.

"Why do you have to get rid of it? It's actually a favorite spot in this house, baby."

Anne patted her chest gently, trying to calm herself so she wouldn't explode.

"Do you really like that thing?" asked Anne quietly.

"Of course, you look absolutely gorgeous in those photos and it felt like they were all taken yesterday." Jack answered with a big smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with tears, showing how sad he was because he had lost so much time with Anne.

"Oh, well then. I don't want to live in this house."

Jack immediately turned and glared at Anne. "What do you mean?"

"I don't like having things like that in the house, especially when they display old photos of me. It's really disturbing to see your old photos posted on a videotron like that in the house. If you really can't get rid of them, then please enjoy those pictures myself because I'll be looking for another place to live." Anne issued a serious threat to Jack.

Jack chuckled. "No, I'm sure you wouldn't take what you said seriously. Remember, Christian is with me right now."

"I know, it's actually good for Christian to be living with his biological father. At least, his life will be guaranteed and his future will be bright, unlike his mother."

"Anne!"

"I'm serious, Jack, get rid of that thing quickly or I'm really going to leave this place and never set foot here again." Anne repeated her request while still threatening Jack.

Jack chuckled. "No way, you definitely don't have that much guts to leave this place. You don't have any acquaintances in this country anyway."

Anne smiled. She then tied her short hair high. Although a lot of her hair was straying, Anne actually looked very charming. The neck level looked clear and damn! Jack looked straight at Anne, as if he was going to eat her alive.

"I don't have friends or relatives in this country, but I have the ability to survive well, Jack. Since childhood I'm used to living in difficult circumstances, so it doesn't matter if I have to repeat that now," answered Anne confidently. 

Jack was very disturbed by Anne's words. He did not like the words that the woman had just said. What? Repeat what had happened to her before? Shit. Without thinking the man immediately stepped quickly, approaching Anne.

"Can't we live peacefully without having to fight like this, Anne?" Jack asked Anne softly when he got so close to Anne.

"We can, as long as you don't do crazy things like that."

Jack rolled his eyes. "But it's your photos, Anne. Not someone else's, not another woman's. Why do you have to be so angry? Shouldn't you be happy that I made your photos like that?"

"You're way over board, Jack. Anyways, please use your logic. Why would you install a videotron like this in the house?"

"To let go of my longing for you," answered Jack quickly. "For two years I can only stare at you from those photos. Every time I come home from work I feel like I get new energy when I see a photo of you smiling. That's how I survive, Anne."

Anne felt a sudden suffocation as if someone was squeezing her heart right now. The words that Jack had said hurt her deeply.

"What did I do wrong?" Jack asked Anne a piercing question.

Anne moved her hand to touch Jack's face. "But I'm right here, in front of you. I don't think you need that thing anymore, Jack."

Jack stared unblinkingly straight into Anne's beautiful eyes which made him fall in love the first time he saw her. "But that…"

"Yes or no, if you want to get rid of it right now, then you will get a nice gift from me," said Anne quickly cutting Jack off.

Jack was silent. He was unsure what to do. On the other hand, what Anne said is true, he didn't need the Videotron anymore because the person in the photo was there in the same house as him. But on the other hand, he really liked the photos, Anne looked very beautiful in those photos and Jack wanted to keep looking at her every day.

Anne growled. She knew that Jack wouldn't do what she wanted. In her annoyance, she suddenly had a naughty idea that she was sure would make Jack obey her. She slowly unbuttoned the two buttons of the white satin shirt she was wearing so that her cleavage was clearly visible. Her chest looked so beautiful and seductive, especially because she was wearing a push bra.

"Hmmm, it's a shame, my gift was refused," said Anne quietly as she put one finger in her mouth, teasing Jack.

Bam!

Jack's whole body stiffened. He couldn't believe what Anne had just done. Never in his life had he imagined Anne would do such a thing, teasing him so openly in front of so many people. Damn!

After a moment of silence, Jack finally regained consciousness. Without speaking, he immediately grabbed Anne's body and placed her on his shoulder. He carried her as if he were carrying a sack of rice.

"Jack!!"

Jack turned to Nicholas and Erick, who had just joined them. "You have 10 minutes to get rid of the Videotron and replace it with my wedding photo."

"Yes sir."

Jack smiled at the answer from his two assistants. He then walked towards the stairs with Anne on his shoulders.

"Jack, put me down. I can walk on my own. There are many people watching us," said Anne quietly, asking to be put down.

"All of you! Close your eyes or else I'll fire you all, and I assure you, you won't be able to get any jobs in this country!"

"What??!!"
