When it was three o'clock, Jack immediately got up and walked towards the place where his coat was hanging and put it on quickly, which startled Erick and Alice, who were sitting in front of him.

"Where are you going, sir? Our meeting isn't over yet!

" Surprised, Erick immediately asked Jack.

As if not hearing Erick's words, Jack chose to continue walking towards the door.

"Sir...

"

"You guys finish the rest. Besides, there are the two of you. I think without my presence, you guys will be able to finish well.

"Jack cut Erick's words while raising one hand in the air without looking back. He grabbed the door handle and went straight out of the room and headed for the elevator, leaving Erick and Alice alone in his room.

Seeing Jack went away, Erick gritted his teeth in annoyance, while Alice seemed to be gripping the pen she was holding while cursing at Jack.

"Sometimes he just left when he gave us a new job to do in taking care of a cooperation contract with Ganke Inc. Production. Totally irresponsible! I hate you, Jack. Didn't you sink with the Titanic? Then why did you appear again?

" Alice cursed with a vengeance. She was very upset about being given a new job by Jack, as it was almost time to go home.

"Sink with the Titanic? Haha, you watch too many movies, Alice. It's better if we finish this, so we can go home quickly,

" Erick said quietly with a laugh.

"How can we hurry home, Erick? We have to make a new contract with Ganke Inc. Production which was just given a few minutes ago. While you also know that to take care of this kind of contact takes about 3 to 4 hours, because we have to look for some important things that need to be done that must be included in the contract. Not to mention we have to confirm it with the lawyer as well... Ahhh, it's really annoying!

" said Alice in annoyance.

"The longer you work on it, the longer we go home, so it's best if we do it right away so we can get home quickly, Alice, because grumbling like that won't solve the problem.

" Erick said softly, trying to calm Alice down.

"Besides, we should be grateful for being trusted by our boss. Believe me, there are lots of Alices out there who want to be like you,

" added Erick again.

Alice immediately fell silent hearing Erick's words. Being reminded that there were a number of people who were looking for work had left Alice speechless. The reason was that she had once been in that position, as she once had difficulty finding work and was despised by her friends who already had a lot of luxury goods from their salary. Seeing Alice's change in attitude made Erick smile. He knew that the beautiful secretary still had unstable emotions. Therefore, he deliberately mentioned about those job seekers out there.

Meanwhile, Jack, who was already in his car, was very excited to pick up Anne. He had even changed into the clean clothes he had provided in the car in case of a sudden meeting or emergency like this. After driving for only twenty minutes, Jack realized that someone was following him from behind. A black Jeep was following not far from him. Not wanting to waste time dealing with a stalker, Jack finally accelerated his car off the track he had to take if he wanted to go to Ganke Inc. Production. At first, Jack thought the Jeep was not following him anymore. But it turned out he was wrong, the car was still trailing behind his car. Even now the driver of the car was repeatedly turning on the flashlight, as a code to make him want to stop the car.

"Fuck, who is this person? Just make trouble with me,

" said Jack in annoyance. He felt irritated and uneasy to be chased like this. Because his car almost ran out of gas, he forgot that he hadn't filled it up this morning.

Because he didn't want to stop suddenly on the highway, Jack finally decided to give in. He looked for a place near a gas station to stop. Shortly after, Jack stopped his car. The black Jeep that was following behind did the same thing. Believing that the driver of this car had not done anything bad, Jack stopped his intention to reach for the gun that was under his seat.

"Sophia,

" Jack muttered under his breath when he saw the driver of the Jeep who had been following him.

Knowing who the stalker was, Jack then got into his car again and went straight into the refueling area. Sophia who was tidying her clothes was shocked when she saw Jack getting back into his car. She rushed back into her car and followed Jack's car again. Even though she didn't want to refuel, Sophia still entered the refueling area.

In his car, Jack smiled cynically at Sophia's unchanging behavior. She was the type of woman who had no shame. Therefore, it was not surprising that she entered the refueling area even though she did not refuel. After the refueling of his car was finished, Jack then went back to speeding his car on the highway, which of course was still followed by Sophia. Because he didn't want Sophia to know about Anne's whereabouts, Jack drove his car further and further towards the east, leaving the city of London. Because Sophia kept honking, Jack finally stopped the car again. He finally decided to confront Sophia, because he was annoyed with the chase scene like this.

"What do you want, Sophia?

" said Jack loudly as he stood beside his car at Sophia who was walking towards him.

"I want to talk to you from the heart, Jacky, I...

"

"Stop, don't call me Jacky. I'm sick of hearing that, call me Jack or my full name, Jackson.

" Jack cut off Sophia's words quickly.

Sophia, who was shocked that she had never heard Jack speak to her so rudely, looked petrified for a moment. Her eyes even looked teary from crying.

"You've changed, Jack, you're not the Jack I used to know. You're now rude and mean,

" said Sophia quietly holding back tears.

Jack moistened his lower lip with a faint smile.

"You think I'll still be nice to the person who betrayed me? You think I'm stupid, Sophia? Before you decided to go out with Esteban Shevchenko, you first had an affair with Edmund that ignorant bastard cousin right? Don't ever think that I don't know anything, Sophia. I might be silent, but it didn't mean I don't know. I was silently waiting for your honesty, but apparently you never said sorry or told me the truth until you finally got really greedy and decided to go with Esteban Shevchenko, the football player who doesn't know how to reciprocate my kindness,

" said Jack sarcastically, trying to remind Sophia of her previous affairs when they were still engaged.

Sophia's face suddenly turned pale when Jack brought up her affair with Edmund, the man who had snatched her chastity. The man that Jack really wanted to find because he dared to enjoy the honey from the flowers he cared for.

"I didn't do anything with Edmund at that time, Jack, he and I were just friends. Besides, I'm not that crazy to have an affair with a cousin of my own boyfriend,

" said Sophia softly, looking for pity from Jack.

"Fuck, you think I'm stupid, Sophia? I'm not that stupid, I'm not a child who easily believes in the words of a woman who is skillful in affairs like you, Sophia. I used to forgive you when I found out you were not a virgin and even accepted you with open arms, because I don't care about it. As long as you are loyal to me and don't repeat the same mistakes, I accept you gracefully, but it turns out that my kindness was misunderstood by you, Sophia. You actually took advantage of my kindness by having an affair with Edmund, my step cousin,

" Jack rebuked loudly, breaking Sophia's words.

Sophia was stunned to hear Jack's words.

"What do you mean by step cousin?

" she asked in confusion.

Jack flashed a mocking smile again at the woman he once loved with all his heart.

"Johnny, Edmund's father, is only the adopted son of my grandfather. They don't have the slightest bit of Muller's blood in them. They've been officially banned from using Muller's name behind his name and the man you cheated on doesn't have the slightest bit of my family wealth, Sophia, because from the moment the court forbade them to use the name Muller, all of my family's property and facilities that they used were withdrawn by the court to be returned to me,

" replied Jack quietly while smiling triumphantly at Sophia who looked very shocked.

"So-So Edmund is a poor man? H-he doesn't have any inheritance from your family?

"

"Yes.

" Jack quickly answered questions from Sophia.

Sophia's lips trembled with anger, she suddenly turned pale. A minute later, her legs were unable to support the weight of his body until she finally fell completely slumped on the cold ground.
