Chapter 424 - Erick's Help

Eric was silent. He was speechless after hearing Anne talk at length for almost 10 minutes. Likewise with Alice. The girl hadn't even taken her eyes off the cell phone which showed various photos and articles of Alan Knight Clarke.

"I was as surprised as you two when I saw him for the first time. I really thought that he was Jack. But after I found out who this man was, I finally realized that he wasn't my Jack, he was someone else who had the exact same face as Jack," said Anne again in a barely audible voice.

"Does he have a twin brother?" said Alice suddenly.

Erick massaged his temples which suddenly hurt. "Mr. Jack is an only child, and so were his two parents. That's why the late old Master had appointed Johnny as an adopted son so that he could accompany his son to grow up, until he finally married and had Edmund whose age is also not much different from Mr. Jack's. So it's impossible, Alice, everyone knows the Muller family tree."

"But they do look very similar, Erick, look. The way he smiles and talks is exactly the same, even his voice or maybe this man is Mr. Jack who..."

"Don't think too much, Alice. Stop your habit of watching some random movies with such plots. Stuff like that wouldn't be possible in real life." Erick immediately cut off Alice's words which he considered unreasonable.

"Yes, but that is the most likely thing, Erick. If they are not twins, it means this man named Alan is Master. There is no other possibility that I can think of now," Alice said again.

Anne wiped her tears slowly. She then grabbed Alice's cell phone and looked at the photo of Alan who was with other young entrepreneurs. "Even though they have the same face, but they are still two different people, Alice. For more than 2 years I've known Jack, he has never done anything obscene to me. He is a cold man who does not respond to the temptations of many women who came to the coffee shop back then. We lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne, while this monster has the heart to destroy what I've protected and guarded my whole life so easily without any remorse. Even right now I-I'm trapped in a marriage bond with him."

Erick and Alice immediately turned to Anne at the same time after hearing Anne's last sentence.

"Marriage? That means you are married to a man who looks like Master, the man who raped you?" Alice questioned Anne with many questions.

"His grandfather Mr David Clarke saved me from Alan's private villa where he used to have fun with women. Mr David Clarke saved me from Alan who wanted to make me his sex slave like his other women, that's why he brought me home from the cursed villa and hid me in his big house for several days. Until finally Alan found me in the house and wanted to take me back to his villa, but Mr. David Clarke forbade him and asked him to be responsible for what he had done to me. I refused that second when Mr. David asked Alan to marry me, but Mr. David still insisted on marrying me to his grandson. So I finally became the monster's wife." Anne held her chest and stopped her words. Every time she talked about Alan, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. Her hatred for the man had really crossed the line.

"I couldn't ask anyone for help, not even Linda, who was in Luxembourg at that time. Alan's has kept my cell phone, ID and passport, I couldn't find them even though I asked someone for help at that time. Being around a man who has raped you is not an easy thing. I always feel fear and pain when he is near me, that's why I beg you to save me, Erick. Take me home to London, I want to go home. I want to continue my life normally, I want to carry on my education, hang out with Linda and doing a lot of other things. I don't want to be stuck beside him for the rest of my life, h-he's not human. Alan Knight Clarke is a monster and I hate him so much," said Anne at length, letting out the feelings inside her that she was holding back. over the last few weeks.

Alice opened her mouth wide, she was very surprised that Anne had experienced such a terrible thing. Being forced to marry the most hated person is certainly not an easy thing.

Erick took a deep breath while closing his eyes. He couldn't believe he would be in a situation like this. It was like a dream to know that there was a man who was very similar to his master, but after knowing what that man had done to the woman his master had loved, a sense of emotion came over him.

"Erick, help me. Take me back to London, I don't want to go back to that monster," said Anne pitifully.

Erick looked at Anne who was also looking at him with teary eyes. "Have the man meet me, Madam."

Thump!

Anne's heart felt like it was about to explode when she heard Erick's words. "Did I hear you right, Erick?"

"I know this may be a little cruel for you, Madam, I can't do anything about it. Besides you currently don't have any identification, it's hard for me to take you back to London even if you're on a private jet. You will be considered an intruder if you enter a country without having your identity. Besides that, currently your status is legally the wife of Alan Knigt Clarke. I can't take a wife away from her husband, because it's illegal and it will be a big problem for me and the company. I'm ready for the problem, but if Muller Finance International is also affected, I can't do it, Madam. It's not that I don't want to help you, but this is a small problem," Erick replied at length, giving the reason why he couldn't help Anne.

"Why are you this evil, Erick?!! Didn't Anne already said that she was forced by that bad person? How could you have the heart to do that? Where is your conscience?" Alice screamed loudly.

"It's not a matter of conscience, Alice. Every time we do something, we have to think about the good and the bad. You must keep your logic going, Alice. Moreover, this man named Alan Knight Clarke is not some random man. We can't just make some reckless decisions. I actually want to help Madam. But before helping her, I need to meet this guy Alan. I want to confirm something first," Erick replied quietly calming Alice.

Anne was silent hearing the debate between Erick and Alice, she digested the words that Erick previously said. It was indeed very risky if she went to London without an identity, coupled with her current status of being Clarke's mistress.

"But I'm afraid Erick, I just ran away from him. I'm afraid that he will punish me," said Anne quietly.

Alice took Anne's hand and held it tightly. "Calm down, Anne, I'm here. I'll take care of you, I won't let that man find you. I'll take you away from this place, even without the cowardly Erick's help."

Erick stroked his chest slowly. He had forgotten that Alice really adored Anne. "Believe me, Madam, I will definitely help you. All I have to do right now is to meet that man."

"Okay, Erick, I trust you. But don't go back on your word."

"I won't be able to deny my words, Madam, you just calm down."

Anne nodded her head slowly. She then took a deep breath and prepared to get out of the car. Even though she didn't know what Erick's plans were, Anne believed in him. All she could do now was be a little patient. Anne stepped out of the car after Alice. The two then walked towards the tent followed by Erick behind.

"Anne!!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from a man whose voice Anne and Erick knew very well.
