Chapter 285 - Revealed

Jack hugged Anne who was still crying. Normally he would be angry when he saw Anne cry, but this time, for some reason, he chose to let Anne cry anyway.

"Jack, I want to go home. I'm tired."

Jack, who was holding Anne tightly, then lifted his face and looked at Anne's face which was buried in his chest.

"Do you want to go home?"

Anne nodded her head slowly with a pale face. Jack pursed his lips without another word. He then took Anne from the park to the place where the car was parked. Erick, who was standing beside the car, nodded his head politely when Jack and Anne came. Without being asked, he then opened the car door, allowing Jack and Anne to enter. After his master had entered, Erick then ran to the other side and got into the car to immediately drive to Anne's new apartment even though Jack did not give any orders. Erick knew that Anne had a problem, so he decided to bring his master to the apartment.

In the car, Anne was silent, she had stopped crying. Only her occasional sobs showed that she was really upset right now. Jack let her cry until finally she was silent. Her sobs were no longer heard. Only a few deep breaths could be heard from her.

"Sir ..."

"I know, Erick. Please, after you take us home, immediately find out again what happened at the mall. I'm sure something bad happened to her in that mall." Jack immediately minutes Erick's words quickly.

"Okay, I understand sir."

Because he had received clear orders from his boss, Erick then increased the speed of the car to the apartment. He felt a little sorry for Anne, who looked very sound asleep in Jack's arms. Usually only very sad people would fall asleep so quickly after crying and that was why he had tried to talk to Jack, who understood right away.

Thirty minutes of Erick's time seemed too slow for Jack, but he was trying to be patient because he didn't want to wake Anne up. After arriving at the underground parking area, Erick acted quickly. He helped Jack got out of the car. Removing someone who was sleeping in the car was not easy, but because Jack was very agile and skilled, it was not difficult for him to be able to carry Anne out of the car without waking her up.

"Go, I'll take good care of Anne," said Jack quietly when he managed to get out of the car with Anne in his arms.

"Yes, Sir."

Jack then stepped into the elevator with Anne who was already very sound asleep. After the master disappeared behind the elevator, Erick then drove his car back from the apartment to the mall where they had just left. In the elevator, Jack continued to stare at Anne, who was pressed against his chest, her previously pale cheeks turned red again, signs of blood had flowed back all over her body.

"Whoever made you like this will deal directly with me, you don't have to worry Anne. You're not alone anymore, you have me now, Anne," Jack said quietly, Jack's sharp eyes now dimming. Staring lovingly at Anne, his intention to land a kiss on Anne's forehead had to be canceled because the elevator had stopped on the eighth floor.

Jack then got out of the elevator straight away because he didn't want to make other people see what he was doing in the elevator to Anne. If that happened, it would give Anne a bad name, who incidentally was a new resident in the luxury apartment building and Jack didn't want to her good name to be damaged, even though, in fact, if that happened, he could easily make her name clean again. Jack's footsteps stopped at room number 8018. Without difficulty the apartment door opened after Jack put his fingerprints on the sophisticated door.

"Lights on."

All the lights in the apartment unit turned on immediately after Jack gave instructions. Some of the facilities in the apartment used sound sensors, so it really spoils the residents, like Jack today.

Jack continued to carry Anne up to the room and put her slowly on the mattress made of goose feathers which of course was very soft and very comfortable, after Anne lay comfortably Jack then sat down and touched Anne's cheeks which were starting to warm.

Jack lovingly said "Stupid girl, just a few minutes away from me and you already got into big trouble like this." Jack's hand touched Anne's cheek gently and landed a kiss on her forehead, Anne squirmed slowly when she felt the roughness of Jack's fine hairs on her face but she still closed her eyes tightly.

Erick, who had arrived at the mall, was in the CCTV surveillance room with an officer. His eyes watched Anne's movements from the moment she entered the mall and when she walked around the mall, which was quite busy.

"Stop, playback please," said Erick quickly.

"Yes, sir."

The security officer then played back the CCTV footage requested by Erick. Erick was surprised and curious about what he was seeing at the moment. In the CCTV footage, it was clear that she was standing in front of a luxurious restaurant, staring for a long time from behind the restaurant glass without doing anything. She seemed to see someone she knew inside the restaurant.

"Could you obtain this lady's tape from the other side? My boss, this lady's fiance, is very curious as to what has happened to her."

"But sir, this restaurant is..."

Bam!

Erick hit the desk hard. "Jackson Patrick Muller, the CEO of Muller Finance International, is this lady's future husband. He is a great man and I'm sure you will be in big trouble dealing with him, if you don't do what I ask."

The faces of the two security guards immediately turned pale when they heard Erick's words. Although they didn't know very well who the man was talking about, but because Erick spoke so loudly like that, they finally opened the CCTV from around the restaurant that Anne was looking into. Erick immediately concentrated on seeing the CCTV footage played by the security guard that he had previously threatened.

Thump!

Thump!

Erick's heartbeat was racing very fast at the moment when he saw several people clearly visible on the CCTV screen.

"Stop and zoom," said Erick quickly.

Without being ordered twice, the officer did what was ordered by Erick. After being sure of what he saw, Erick then took out his cell phone and immediately contacted Jack.

"Eric." Jack immediately greeted Erick quickly.

"It seems that Miss Anne knows the Higgins, Sir." Erick went straight to the point without further ado.

Jack, who was sitting on the bed, immediately stood up quickly.

"The Higgins? What do you mean, Erick?!"
