Chapter 536 - A Photo

In all the years being with Jack, Erick had never seen Jack like he was now. The man now looked very angry and very unfriendly.

"Sir, it looks like Madam is home. There's a taxi coming in," Nicholas said quietly with fear.

Jack didn't respond to Nicholas' words. He just clenched his fists tightly and walked towards a large chair in the living room facing the main door. No one dared to speak, everyone was silent, Erick, Alice and Nicholas. The three of them just looked at each other, speaking through their eyes.

The sound of Anne's footsteps was soon heard as she climbed the stairs. She even had time to stop a few times and talk to Luis who had just arrived a few minutes ago.

"Please store them in the small warehouse, Luis, tonight I will make K?sekuchen."

Louis smiled. "Yes Madam, I have separated the main ingredients for making K?sekuchen. These are the other ingredients."

"Thanks Luis. Oh yeah, is Jack home yet?"

"Looks like he has, Madam, I haven't gone up yet. I'm still busy with these things."

Anne pursed her lips. "Okay then I'll go up, thanks again for today, Luis."

Luis nodded his head with a smile. Anne immediately continued her steps back into the house. She walked in quietly, her smile widened when she reached the door and saw Jack sitting not far from her quietly.

"You're home," said Anne softly as she stepped closer to Jack. She had not yet realized that Jack was angry.

Jack's eyes narrowed. He looked at the clothes Anne was wearing from top to bottom. After a while, his smile grew.

"What's wrong if I come home early? Are you bothered?"

Anne chuckled. "How could I be bothered? I'm just glad you came home so early so you can rest early too."

"Really? Does my coming home early doesn't bother you who are busy dating?"

Anne's eyes widen. "What are you talking about, Jack? What date? I just went shopping with Luis at the supermarket earlier, how could that be called a date? Besides, didn't you say yourself that I shouldn't travel alone anymore, then how can you accuse me cruelly of dating?!!"

Anne's voice was loud. She didn't like the baseless accusations that Jack had made. It was very painful to be accused of something she would never do in her life.

Seeing Anne's overflowing emotions, Jack smiled, he then turned to Erick, giving a silent order to Erick to leave that place immediately, along with the others, leaving him alone with Anne. Erick, who really understood the gaze given by his master, immediately rushed out of the place with Alice and Nicholas. Erick also asked the maids not to gather around the living room. After no one was around, Jack then got up from his chair and approached Anne who was already standing 3 meters in front of him. When he was almost in front of Anne, suddenly Jack put his hand into his shirt pocket and immediately threw something at Anne's face.

"Ouch."

Anne let out a low scream when she felt something graze her face. The thing that Jack threw before fell to the floor. Anne had not yet seen what hurt her cheek when suddenly Jack's hand was lodged in her neck. He pushed her against the wall with a hand that gripped her neck tightly.

"How dare you betray me? How dare you cheat behind my back, Anne?" Jack hissed angrily.

In the pain that Jack gave, Anne tried to calm down. "What are you talking about, Jack?"

"Tch, you can still talk apparently. You don't realize your mistake, Anne?! Don't you want to apologize to me, Anne?" Jack rebuked loudly.

As Jack's grip on her neck grew stronger, Anne moved her hand and hit Jack's hand several times. "J-Jack, it hurts."

Jack, who was controlled by his anger, didn't care about Anne's groans of pain, nor did he care how red Anne's face was now. What was in his mind right now was to vent his anger on Anne, who he had considered to have betrayed him. Jack only loosened his grip a little when Anne's claws grew stronger on his hand. She used her fingernails to alert Jack that she was having trouble breathing now. Without guilt, Jack threw Anne to the right side as he let go of his grip.

"Bitch! I shouldn't have believed you. You're no different from the lowly woman on the street Anne, you filthy. How dare you betray me?"

Anne bit her lower lip, in the pain that hit her stomach Anne heard clearly the words Jack had just said. But because she didn't understand what Jack had accused her, she lifted her face and looked at Jack who was standing in front of her. "What do you mean by saying that, Jack? Who betrayed you?"

"Tch ... you can still dodge, look at that. Look at the photos, the evidence is there, Anne, so don't pretend anymore!" said Jack loudly.

Hearing Jack's words made Anne pay attention to the photos scattered in front of her. Apparently the things that Jack threw and hurt her face were several photos. With pain, Anne grabbed a photo that was closest to her. She immediately covered her mouth tightly when she saw a photo of herself and Leon on the bed making love. Fake, it was a fake photo!

"No Jack, this is not true. I've never done this, this is fake Jack. This is photoshopped! I can't possibly do this, Jack," Anne screamed hysterically.

Jack looked at Anne with a look of anger and disgust. He slowly walked over and grabbed a photo that clearly showed how Anne and Leon face each other in front of a hotel. "Look at this! Do you think this is an edit? How can this be photoshopped, Anne? All these photos are new photos and you did this yesterday. Even today you also met your ex-husband again, didn't you?!!"

"Yeah, I met him but it wasn't what you think, Jack. I can't possibly..."

"Fuck...fuck.. fuck... until a while ago I was still hoping all these photos were fake, but when I saw clearly with my own eyes how you touched Leon's face earlier. I'm becoming more and more certain that something must have happened between you two." Jack immediately cut Anne's words in a loud voice. He was really very angry and disappointed. "I believe in you, Anne, you are the cure that made me bounce back from everything that happened. But actually no, I had too much hope in you. You turned out to be just like Sophia, you betrayed me, you fooled me, you destroyed all hopes for the beautiful future with you."

"Jack... I can explain everything, today I..."

Anne's words stopped when she saw Jack raise his hand in the air, Jack stopped her speech.

"Don't talk anymore. I don't want to hear anything from you. I am the stupid one here, I'm the stupid one to believe in a girl like you.. Your acting is very good, Anne. I salute you, I'm the one who is to blame. I'm stupid to keep a trash thrown away by Leon haha...I'm really stupid."

Anne's tears streamed down her face. Being accused of having an affair with the man she hated the most gave a very deep wound in her heart. The second that Anne squeezed the fake photo of herself firmly, Anne couldn't believe Jack believed in such a fake photo.

"I let you go, Marianne, I let you go. If you want to go back to your ex-husband, I welcome you, I won't stop you anymore."

"Jack ..."

Crash!

Anne's words stopped when Jack threw his cell phone at a flower vase that was right next to Anne.

"No, don't say my name again from that filthy mouth of yours, bitch! A prostitute like you doesn't deserve to say my name..."

Again, Anne's heart ached when she heard Jack's words. Accused of having an affair, being called a cheap woman and now being called a prostitute.

Jack straightened his coat and walked towards the door, but when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Go away! I don't want to see you again. I don't want to breathe the same oxygen as a whore like you."

Anne clutched her left chest which felt tight, her heart ached so much.
