Chapter 188 - Trying To Find Out

While Jack was tormented in his house because of Anne, the same thing happened to Aaron. Aaron, who just came back from Anne's apartment, looked very disappointed when she didn't open the door. Even his calls and messages were not answered. He vented his disappointment by going to the bar for a drink with Daniel, whom he had forced to come.

Crash!

Aaron again threw the glass he had just used to drink against the wall of the VIP room where he was drinking with Daniel. Aaron was really annoyed at Anne who had ignored him. His plan to cool down at Anne's place after taking care of his crazy ex-fiancé failed because Anne did not give any response to him.

"Sir, don't drink too much. Remember Doctor Robin's order," Daniel said quietly for the umpteenth time, trying to remind Aaron.

"I'm still aware, Daniel, I'm not drunk yet, so you calm down," Aaron answered quietly.

"Yes sir, I know, but you can't do this. You have to take care of your health, sir," added Daniel slowly.

"My intention to come to Anne's apartment was good, Daniel, I wanted to talk to her seriously. I wanted to ask her why she lied to me about her status, even though she was clearly single. The data in the civil registry can't be a lie, right? No one can fake their status in civil registry, Daniel," Aaron said quietly, looking down.

"Maybe Miss Anne is going to her relative's house, Sir, so she ..."

"She's an only child and her parents are dead. She also doesn't know where her other relatives are, so it's impossible for her to go to her relative's house. I'm sure she in her apartment," said Aaron, quickly cutting Daniel's words.

"How do you know that Miss Anne is in her room, sir?" Daniel asked again.

"I saw the light was on, Daniel, Anne is afraid of the dark. She never sleeps in a dark room, even though she doesn't turn on the night light near her bed, but Anne doesn't really make her room pitch black," said Aaron, in annoyance.

Hearing Aaron's words made Daniel unable to speak anymore. He was really confused about what to say, especially now. He was afraid of saying the wrong thing, especially now that Aaron was harassed again by Candice Skyriver, who had left him. Remembering Aaron's problems made Daniel feel sorry for him. This was the first time he had seen Aaron this messed up because of a woman, even though in the past when Candice left him, he wasn't like he was now, who was constantly restless.

"What do you think the cause of Anne's rejection to me yesterday, Daniel?" asked Aaron suddenly.

"I-I don't know, Boss, I can't guess," Daniel stuttered.

"I'm rich, handsome, my career is good, and I'm famous. There's no one who doesn't know me, Daniel," Aaron said quietly.

"Miss Anne is different, Boss. She's not like other girls who will go crazy when they see you. When she found out that you were the CEO of Connery Corporation, she was casual, I mean her attitude to you hasn't changed, right?" Daniel asked back.

"Yes, Anne is not like other girls. She looks calm and doesn't scream when she knows I'm a CEO. She is very different from other girls and this is what makes me always remember her. While girls her age enjoy life having fun, Anne actually started her own business. She even gave jobs to other people, even though it's only a small flower shop, but she has helped people to have a permanent job, Daniel. And this is what makes me crazy thinking about it," said Aaron briefly.

"Could it be that Miss Anne rejected you because she was guarding her heart for another man, Boss?" said Daniel subconsciously.

Thump

Aaron's heart raced so quickly when he heard Daniel's words. His face had changed drastically.

"Jackson Patrick Muller, I've seen him came out of Anne's apartment. I also warned him to stay away from her," Aaron muttered quietly.

"What? Jackson Patrick Muller, you mean Miss Anne knows the Swiss businessman?" asked Daniel loudly.

"Yes, Anne knows her and..."

Bang!

Daniel suddenly hit the table hard.

"So his kindness when he approached you was just a fake, Boss, I'm sure of it. He must have deliberately approached you to target Miss Anne. Think about when Miss Anne's campus held an event, didn't he come? His company was not listed on the official invitation list, but why did he suddenly come on the day of the show? I'm sure this must have been planned in detail by him. I'm sure he knows you like Miss Anne, that's why he did all of this on purpose," said Daniel emotionally. He did not expect that Jack, whom he had met several times, actually stabbed Aaron in the back.

"I know, Daniel, that Jackson Muller has other plans for me. I actually feel sorry for Anne, I'm afraid that Anne will be used as a stepping stone to carry out his plan to destroy my company. I have a feeling that Jackson Muller was after me from the start and tried to distract me by approaching the woman I like ..."

"Well I thought that too, Boss, I thought so too. He purposely used Miss Anne to mess with you and Connery Corporation. Everyone knows the ambition of Jackson Patrick Muller, Boss. He wants to make Muller Finance International a giant fund provider company and controlled all of mainland Europe, therefore he started to build a new office in London," said Daniel quickly.

Aaron was silent hearing the words of his right hand. Actually, even without Daniel telling him that, he knew who Jack was. His actions in Switzerland had reached his ears. He knew Jack's greatness in negotiating.

"Don't you remember what happened to Miss Eleanor and her boyfriend yesterday, Boss?" Daniel asked again.

"Oh God, I almost forgot about that, Daniel ..."

"Now that you've remembered, think again boss, since then he's been beating the drums of war on you. I'm sure he must have had other reasons when he helped Steven Dawkins who at that time had a problem with Miss Elea's family, which incidentally is one of the big families who support you, Boss. I'm sure he helped Steven to make Mr. Thomas's family business problematic. Think about why Jackson helped Steven Dawkins if he doesn't have other goals," said Daniel, quickly cutting off Aaron's words.

"But is it possible that Jack went that far, Daniel? I'm still not sure Jackson Muller would go that far," Aaron said quietly.

"Jackson Muller may not doing it yet but what about the Dawkins family? Didn't Jason Dawkins see it with his own eyes that his son Steven was beaten by Mr. Thomas? It is not impossible now Jason Dawkins is making plans to destroy Mr. Thomas Hoover's family as a form of revenge because he has made his beloved son hospitalized. We all know how Jason Dawkins spoiled his son, Steven. So basically Jason Dawkins is asking for support from Jackson Muller to destroy Mr. Thomas Hoover's family and Jackson Muller will take advantage of the chaos of Mr. Thomas's family to attack you boss," Daniel added slowly.

Hearing Daniel's words made Aaron think hard. For some reason, he felt Daniel's words made a lot of sense. Because what happened yesterday was all related to Jack, now Aaron was thinking badly about Jack.

"If he doesn't have any other purpose, why did he take the side of Jason Dawkins, who is clearly having problems with Mr. Thomas Hoover's family, who are your best friends, Boss?" Daniel said again, repeating all his guesses.

"If all your guesses are true, then I will not hesitate, Daniel. I must immediately tell all about Jack to Anne. I am afraid that Anne will be disappointed in him. She must know that Jack approached her for other reasons, not because he is really sincere with her," said Aaron slowly, staring at his cell phone which displayed an article about Jack who was giving a speech at a business meeting in Dubai, where at this time Jack was loudly saying he wanted to make Muller Finance International into a giant funding company.
