I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Based on the instructions that Jack gave earlier, Aaron finally decided to refrain from reporting the problem of Giselle Allen's assault on Jack to the Geneva police. Aaron respected Jack's decision not to prolong the matter before he was absolutely sure that Giselle was the mastermind behind the incident that night at the hotel.

Even though Aaron had given him detailed information, Anne's words made Jack hesitated. He felt that what Anne said was true. Giselle was obsessed with him. It seemed very unlikely that she would hurt Jack.

As usual when Jack was busy making coffee, Anne would take care of the payment, but since there weren't too many customers this morning, Anne could relax a bit. She was playing with her cell phone which she hadn't touched since she woke up.

One of Anne's eyebrows rose as she read an incoming email. It was an email from a name she had never seen before.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked curiously when he saw Anne looked surprised at her cell phone screen.

"Looks like Steffi is warning me, Jack," said Anne quietly.

Now it was Jack's turn to raise an eyebrow, not one but two.

"What did you say, Steffi?"

Anne nodded her head and held out her cell phone to Jack. An impatient Jack grabbed Anne's cell phone quickly and immediately read the email on Anne's cell phone screen.

"Are you sure the sender of this email is Stefi, your traitor friend?"

Anne smiled. "Actually Steffi is not a traitor. She is the person God sent to make me meet you. Just imagine, if at that time Steffi had not had an affair with Leon, maybe I would have never divorced Leon, and then I would not have met you either."

Jack's jaw hardened. His face also immediately turned red when he heard Anne's words, which he didn't expect.

"You're mine, Anne," Jack growled in annoyance.

Anne chuckled. "Yes... yes... yes, why are you angry? I'm currently discussing the email that Steffi sent. Why does it spread to other topics?"

Jack put Anne's cell phone on the table and immediately folded his arms across his chest as he faced Anne without blinking.

"Are you sure it's Steffi? How are you sure? Who knows if it's a prank or a wrong email, it could be, right?"

"No, Jack, it's an email I've been using for years since I worked at the museum as a curator. And only people I've known for a long time will know it, and that includes Steffi."

Jack looked at Anne without blinking. He then grabbed Anne's cell phone back from the table and read word for word in the email, having previously only skimmed through it.

"Be careful. He still hasn't given up, Marianne. The target this time is not only you, but your husband as well. You'd better warn your husband too.

From me, your old sinful friend.

S."

Jack spelled the last line of the email in a fairly loud voice, just as Anne thought. Jack also felt that the email was sent by Steffi, seeing the warning she wrote.

"If this is Steffi, why is she texting you? That's not really Steffi's character," said Jack quietly, Jack was still annoyed at Steffi, who had hurt Anne in the past.

"Everyone can change, Jack. Moreover..."

"Moreover?" Jack cut in quickly.

"Moreover, her marriage with Leon was not based on love. They were married for a moment of lust. And Leon only made Steffi his gratification. I know what kind of man Leonardo Ganke is. He is an asshole who only sees women from their bodies and looks. Actually, I feel sorry for Steffi. She may have succeeded at first because she was able to get rid of me, but in the end she had to continue to accompany Leon who has not changed. Meanwhile, after being dumped by Leon, I finally got an amazing husband like you. So actually, if you want to be called someone a victim in this case, it's Steffi who is the real victim here and the criminal is still Leon," said Anne at length.

Jack kept his mouth shut. Although he was annoyed at Anne for defending Steffi, but he couldn't be angry, because what Anne said was true. If at that time Steffi had not become the third person in Anne and Leon's relationship, maybe now he would not be able to marry Anne and maybe Leon would get all the happiness he felt now because he was married to Anne.

Damn, Jack immediately burned thinking about it.

Suddenly, Jack hugged Anne tightly. "Whether Leon has an affair with Steffi or not, you are still destined by God to be my wife, Anne. You're mine."

Anne smiled faintly, almost imperceptibly, because she saw Jack's possessiveness reappeared.

"Jack, can't we just focus while we're talking? I was talking about Steffi here, but why are you being like this?"

Jack didn't heed Anne's words. He still didn't let go of his arms from Anne's waist until finally two customers came, and that made Jack released his arms from Anne's body.

Jack returned to focus on his work despite being teased by the two new customers who had just arrived, while Anne courteously serving the orders placed by the two middle-aged women who were standing in front of her to order coffee.

"Please Madam," said Jack quietly when he had finished making the coffee ordered by the two women in front of him.

"Your wife is so beautiful, you two really make a great couple."

Jack smiled. "She is my first love."

"Wow really? Hope you guys continue to be happy and soon be given cute children, huh."

"Thank you for the prayers, Madam," said Anne, joining in.

The two women smiled broadly at Anne before they finally left, while Anne served the next customers. Some of the customers who frequented the coffee shop already knew that Anne and Jack were husband and wife even though they didn't fully know the identity of Jack and Anne.

When Anne was serving another customer, Jack looked at Anne, who was very friendly to the students who had just returned from campus. Jack recalled his first meeting with Anne. He also recalled what Anne had said a moment ago.

"You're right. I should be thanking Steffi for ruining your relationship with Leon, Anne. If you hadn't separated from Leon at that time, maybe we wouldn't be here today," Jack said in his heart, continuing to stare at Anne who was giving change to some of those students.

< Geneva, Switzerland >

Giselle was very annoyed at Leon who hadn't done anything even though she was very impatient to immediately carry out the plan they had devised to trap Jack.

"It's very difficult. The mansion is really guarded tightly by that bastard Erick's subordinates, Giselle," Leon said quietly to Giselle who was standing with her hands on her hips in front of him.

Giselle shrugged her shoulders. "Do I need to disguise myself to break into that house?"

"You want to do that?" Leon asked excitedly.
