I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 658 – The Selfishness Of A Mother

Because Leon couldn't sleep, he then chose to work again. These past few months, his work at the office had been piling up. After failing to attack Jack's company several times, Leon finally decided to focus on his company which was getting a new project.

While he was focusing on his laptop, checking the work of several editors who sent the checked files, Leon suddenly got an email from Giselle Allen. Out of curiosity, Leon finally opened the email and read it.

"Are you willing to see your ex-wife happy with another man, Mr. Ganke? Don't you want to be in the position of the man sitting next to the woman you love, sir?"

Leon read Giselle's email quietly. His brow furrowed when he saw the two photos Giselle had sent. The first photo was a photo of the real family of Jack and Anne smiling happily with their first son Christian who had ocean blue eyes, similar to Jack's, while the second photo was an edited photo of Giselle where in the photo Jack's face was changed to Leon's face. If people who didn't know about them saw this, they would think that the edited photo was a real photo. Giselle's edit really looked very natural.

Leon's lips unconsciously thinned. He smiled at the photo but the second email that came from Giselle again made Leon's smile disappear.

"I still have wide open opportunities for cooperation with you. Don't worry, your woman will not be harmed. The important thing is that her relationship with Jack can be severed, you can be with her and I can be with Jack. A good cooperation offer, isn't it?"

Giselle's writing in the second email made Leon's eyes widened. He then played his finger on the keyboard of his laptop. He was replying to Giselle's message.

"Give me some time. I still have a lot of things to take care of in Germany. Besides, Anne is about to give birth right now, I don't want to bother her. I don't want to hurt her, remember that carefully, Giselle." Leon wrote in his reply to Giselle.

After pressing the enter key, Leon then closed his laptop. He didn't want to read the email from Giselle anymore. Giselle's invitation to cooperate really bothered him. Because his head was already very sore from sleepiness, Leon finally decided to sleep. He ignored the email from Giselle that had entered his email again.

< Geneva, Switzerland 4 AM >

Bang!

Giselle closed her laptop roughly. She was annoyed that Leon didn't reply to her email.

"You stupid Leonardo Ganke. I gave you a good picture like that, and you're still thinking about it," said Giselle annoyed.

Because Giselle was not yet sleepy, she decided to finish her favorite wine on the balcony of her room, with a cigarette she smoked strongly. Giselle enjoyed her solitude at night by constantly imagining Jack.

"Don't you ever think about all the good memories we went through since we were in school, Jack? Have you forgotten all those sweet things? What am I lacking now, Jack? Giselle Allen is now very beautiful and charming, unlike Giselle Allen I was in junior high school. Can't you see me just once, Jack? I really love you, Jack, you are my hero… the superhero in my life. You're the only man I want in my life, Jack. Only you," Giselle said hoarsely. Her eyes were welling with tears as she recalled Jack's refusal a few months ago to her when she spoke her heart out at the Muller Finance International office. And because of that incident, she became very distant from Jack, because he fired her.

"If only the fox lady didn't come back, maybe I'll still be beside Jack right now. You damn woman! You've been gone for three years and still want to come back, you shameless woman, Marianne!!" Giselle shrieked loudly.

"Hope you die in your labor this time, fox woman, shameless woman like you should be at the bottom of rotting hell there!!"

"You shameless woman, I hate you, Marianne! I hate you… aarrgghhhh fuck!"

Giselle screamed like crazy, cursing Anne. She was upset to know that Anne was pregnant again with Jack's child.

With her hand tightly gripping the bottle of her favorite wine, Giselle's tears dripped down her face. "I should have carried your child, Jack, I should have given birth to your children. Not that woman, she doesn't deserve you. She doesn't have your social standing."

Because she drank too much, finally Giselle fell asleep. She fell asleep hugging the wine bottle on the chair on the balcony. Luckily, the cigarette butt was out when it fell on the floor, otherwise things could go wrong because Giselle's long nightgown touched the floor.

Unbeknownst to Giselle, it seemed that her father and mother who had not slept, heard all the screams that she had previously said, because the door to Giselle's room was not locked, the two of them entered their only daughter's room carefully.

"Giselle…"

"Hush…! Don't make noise, don't wake her up," said Mr. Allen quickly warning his wife not to make a sound.

The woman quickly covered her mouth with both hands. She stood beside Giselle's bed and let her husband carry her daughter's body from the sofa to the bed.

The middle-aged woman wiped her daughter's face which was wet with wine. The drops from the empty wine bottle that she was hugging had wet her face again when her father carried her to his bed.

"I'm afraid. What if Giselle becomes mentally ill because she keeps thinking about Jack, dear," the woman said hoarsely holding back tears. She couldn't bear to see her daughter like this every night.

Mr. Allen was silent. The bespectacled man just continued to stare at his daughter who was sleeping on the bed without speaking.

"How about we ask Jack to marry her? I'm sure Jack will want to. He is a good friend of Giselle. Tomorrow I will come to Jack's house and ask his wife for permission to…"

Slap!

A hard slap from Mr. Allen landed on his wife's face.

"Don't be crazy, come to your senses. You are a woman and a mother, how can you talk like that? What do you think Jackson Patrick Muller's wife is? A robot? She is human, a woman, a mother and currently pregnant with her second child with Jack . Where is your common sense? How can you talk like that? Intending to come to their house and ask the pregnant woman's permission so that her husband is allowed to marry your daughter? Where is your common sense? You are a woman and a mother just like that woman, what if the position is reversed? Another woman came and asked me to marry her. Did you allow that?" said Mr. Allen, his voice rising full of emotion. He couldn't believe his wife was able to say such a terrible thing.

"And again, Jackson Patrick Muller loves his wife very much. I already know their complicated love story, so it's better to get rid of your crazy plan to visit their house. Because believe me, before you set foot in that big house, you would have been kicked out by dozens of bodyguards. Jack has no mercy, so don't be stupid. Besides, can't you see how beautiful Jackson Patrick Muller's wife is? Compare to your daughter, think before you speak. You're not a teenager anymore. Giselle's attitude is like this because you spoiled her too much. So enjoy the fruit of your labor," added Mr. Allen again. After saying that, the man left his wife who was still holding her cheek.

Mrs. Allen burst into tears not long after her husband left. Her heart was aching. Not because of her husband's slap, but because of his husband's words, blaming her for spoiling Giselle too much when she was a teenager that Giselle became the wild woman she was today, a woman who was shameless because she loved someone else's husband.
