Chapter 707 - The Main Mastermind
Because Giselle was taken to a police station which was not where Frederick served, as a result, she did not get any privileges. Even Giselle was not allowed to leave the interrogation room before her parents arrived. It was only after Frederick arrived that Giselle was allowed to leave the room where she met one of Jack and Erick's lawyers.
"Sorry sir, I didn't know that this lady was your wife," said one of the police officers to Frederick, who did have a fairly high position.
Frederick smiled. "It's okay. I'm actually glad you did this. You are right, whoever did something wrong must be prosecuted according to the law regardless of whose wife or child she is."
"Once again, sorry, sir, and actually this case is just a misunderstanding, Mr. Jackson Knight Clarke's lawyer has explained everything to us," said another young police officer.
"The lawyer of Jackson Knight Clarke? What's going on?" asked Frederick in confusion.
The policeman then told him what had actually happened to Frederick. While the two policemen were talking, Frederick did not open his lips at all. He was trying to be calm at this point even though he was actually really angry.
"So they think your wife is an intruder, because in the last few days, the residence of Mr. Jackson Knight Clarke has indeed been tightened after Mrs. Clarke lost her baby," said one policewoman closing her explanation to Frederick.
Frederick nodded his head. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Maybe in the future I will take my wife directly when visiting Mr. Jackson Knight Clarke's house if my wife wants to meet Mrs. Clarke, so that something like this doesn't happen again," replied Frederick slowly, turning his head to the side, at the direction of Giselle, who still looked down on the chair. Frederick didn't know that at this time Giselle was in shock because of her meeting with Erick.
After making small talk with the other policemen, Frederick approached Giselle, who was now joined by her father and mother, who had only arrived a few moments ago because they were contacted by a police officer.
"What is going on, Frederick? What happened? Why did my daughter get taken to the police station?" asked Brandon Allen, Giselle's father, surprised.
Frederick pursed his lips. "It's just a misunderstanding, Dad. Everything's fine, we can go home with Giselle now."
"Are you serious? You're not lying, are you?"
"No, Mom, how could I lie? Earlier, Jackson Knight Clarke's men took Giselle to the police station because Giselle was thought to be an intruder," Frederick answered quietly.
Giselle's father and mother's faces immediately paled when they heard Jack's name being called.
"J-Jackson Patrick Muller?" Brandon Allen stammered repeating his son-in-law's words. He still often called Jack by his old name.
Frederick nodded. "Yes, according to one of the policemen who spoke to me earlier, Giselle intended to enter the house to visit Mrs. Clarke, who had just lost her baby. However, because Giselle did not know that the house was forbidden to outsiders, she just entered without reporting to the officer on duty, so a misunderstanding occured."
Brandon Allen and his wife immediately took a deep breath. The husband and wife were relieved when they found out that Giselle had not done anything wrong. It was just a misunderstanding which of course was just a fabrication made by Erick, who asked the policeman to say that if Giselle's family asked why Giselle was brought to the police station. As per Jack's previous orders, Erick was still kind to Giselle by keeping her good name in front of everyone.
Because there were no problems, Giselle was finally brought home by her husband and parents. Even though Frederick was annoyed that his wife still came to Jack's house, but he could not show his annoyance in front of his two in-laws who became the source of his money. Frederick could only suppress his anger in his heart, because Frederick couldn't believe Giselle's purpose in coming to Jack's house to meet Jack's wife. Frederick already knew who Giselle was very well, that was why he could only stay silent for now and chose to wait for the right time to tell Giselle everything.
By the time Giselle and her family left the police station, a white car that had been stopping for a long time slowly started to leave the place.
"Are you sure after this Giselle will stop, Erick?" Alice asked quietly to Erick who had just raised the window.
Eric smiled. "Hopefully, I hope after this Giselle will tell who the real culprit is. As Master said."
"Whoever is the mastermind behind all of Giselle's stupid actions, I think Giselle is also at fault. She is mature enough to know that what she did was wrong. So I think the only way to stop Giselle is to just imprison her," said Alice in annoyance. She was still upset at Giselle after seeing the CCTV footage that the Warrior members gave her. In the recording, it was clear how Giselle infiltrated the house. "If Giselle had managed to get in, then the secrets of Master and Anne would have been exposed."
"Don't worry. It won't be possible as long as we all work together," Erick answered quietly, trying to calm Alice down.
Alice then turned her face the other way hearing Erick's words. She was very upset because Giselle was released. All the evidence was clear, even though she wasn't the main culprit as Jack said, Giselle was still involved and that was enough to put her in jail.
Seeing Alice angry made Erick chuckled. He then grabbed his cell phone and reported what he had done to Jack. So even though Jack was not in Switzerland, he knew everything that happened in his house because Erick reported everything to him, just like when Jack went into exile after Sophia's betrayal was exposed.

Jack smiled when he read the message that Erick had just sent. Luckily, the coffee shop was quiet at the moment so no one would know that he was smiling while looking at his cell phone. Jack's mood today was good. This morning he had talked to Christian who was getting smarter and this afternoon he got good news from Erick.
After talking at length with Anne, Jack finally realized that what Anne said was true. Giselle seemed to only be used as a tool by someone who took advantage of her. Because of that, Jack ordered Erick to keep an eye on Giselle and find out who was behind all of Giselle's actions, even though Jack was already suspicious of Leon. Moreover, coupled with the email that Anne received last night, the email that Steffi sent was enough to make Jack's suspicions of Leon even stronger. The reason was that currently Leon's company was very strong and big after several of his films were successful in the market.
"If indeed you are the mastermind behind all the chaos that has happened so far, then I will not forgive you again, Leon. I swear I will make you regret to be born as a human," said Jack with determination, as he recalled what happened to him in Seoul.
