Chapter 297 - Being Selfish Is Sometimes Necessary

Jack then went up to the second floor to check on Anne\'s condition. He wanted to make sure Anne hadn\'t woken up. When he arrived in front of Anne\'s room, which was still locked from the inside, Jack was very relieved. He then rushed into his own room to clean his body after exercising, before taking care of all the new problems that Sophia had created. Jack didn\'t want Sophia\'s name to shine again, because if that happened, Sophia could come back and interfere with his relationship with Anne.

Usually, it took Jack more than thirty minutes to shower, but this time he showered faster. The exciting news that occurred in Switzerland made him uneasy, when he finished changing his clothes, Jack went straight down to his office to meet Erick, who was already with Alice.

"How is it?" Jack asked quietly as he entered his office.

"As you guessed earlier Sir, Edmund and his father Johnny were behind all this incident. According to reports from my subordinates, last night Edmund who came to pick up Sophia and her parents at the airport and it seems that Edmund had brought the Higgins family to his house. Because after it was checked, the house that the company gives the Higgins family is still empty, sir," Erick answered without pause to report to Jack.

"Edmund," Jack hissed in annoyance. He was furious that the man had come back to meddle in his business.

"Don\'t worry sir, all the news or articles discussing Robert and Hannah Higgins\' statements have been successfully taken down by me. Likewise, netizens\' tweets that support them, now dominating the news in Switzerland again is the issue of copyright theft by Sophia years ago. Even now, there are organizations that are looking to thoroughly investigate this issue, they want to clean up the bad image of musicians. Therefore, they are processing all of Sophia\'s statements about the Symphony of Life song as her creation and intends to file a lawsuit," said Erick quietly, giving a follow-up report to Jack.

"Good, finish everything, Erick. Don\'t leave any gaps, I want Sophia\'s career to be destroyed so that she can\'t play the piano anymore. At least, it\'s worth what she\'s been doing all this time, admitting Anne\'s songs to her heart\'s content and making my Anne suffer. I want Robert and Hannah Higgins feel how Anne\'s parents felt, I want them to know Anne\'s suffering." Jack immediately responded to Erick\'s words quickly.

"Yes, sir, I..."

Erick couldn\'t finish his words because he saw Anne standing at the door that Jack didn\'t close. Curious on Eric\'s silence, Jack turned around. He looked at the direction Erick was looking and was surprised to see Anne was standing there with teary eyes.

"Are you awake, Anne?"

Anne was silent, she did not respond to Jack\'s words. Suddenly she turned around and walked away from the office. Jack did the same thing. He ran after Anne, who had arrived at the garden.

"What\'s wrong, Anne?" Jack asked gently to Anne who was already sitting on the chair.

"Jack, are we doing this right? I feel sorry for Sophia and her family, I don\'t want to destroy them, Jack. I just want that song returned to me, I don\'t want to have to see Sophia..."

"Stop it, Anne, stop putting people\'s interests first other than your own interests. Because if you continue to do that, then life will go on by putting you aside and this small thing will affect your achievement in achieving your goals in life, so stop thinking about other people. Prioritize yourself first, because believe me, there are many people out there who are far more evil than the Higgins family. You\'re lucky they just took your mother\'s song from you. Just imagine if they use you for their benefit like turning you into their running money machine or selling you for their own sake, so please don\'t be so kind. You don\'t always have to spread kindness to other people, Anne, there are times when you have to be strict and cruel to them. It\'s not that I forbid you to do good, that\'s not it. It\'s just that, please, understand when you have to do good and when to be firm to others. I can\'t always be near you like this, Anne," said Jack at length, cutting Anne\'s words. Jack deliberately spoke like that so that Anne realized that what she was doing was wrong .

Anne lowered her heard as she heard Jack\'s words. She was totally confused on what to do now. Because what Jack said was right. Almost all the words that Jack said to her was always exactly the same as this time. During this time, Anne was always concerned on the interests of others above her own interests, always think of other people\'s feelings before her own. Although sometimes what she did got her into trouble, but Anne never realized her mistake and stopped everything. She kept doing the same thing over and over again.

Jack took a deep breath. He knew it was not easy for Anne to change all her life principles. Slowly, he grabbed Anne\'s chin and lifted it up slowly so he could see her face. "I\'m not forbidding you to do good, Anne, I\'m not forbidding you to do that, it\'s just that you have to be able to differentiate the portions. Luckily, all this time you\'ve been helping the right people, just imagine if you meet a bad person who takes advantage of your kindness. You can be destroyed, Anne. So is with Sophia and her parents. They know that what they are doing is wrong, but they continue to cover it up all this time. Even when all their actions have been exposed, they still evade and seek defense from other people to support their actions and throw their mistakes at you again. They make the victim a suspect. People like them don\'t deserve your compassion, because believe me, they will do even greater things if you forgive them. People like Sophia and her parents are typical people who are shameless and greedy," added Jack again. He tried to remind Anne a the Higgins family who still persisted with their selfishness.

"Sorry, Jack, I was wrong. I\'m too stupid, I really don\'t want to be seen as an ungrateful person. Because, after all, the Higgins family gave me and my parents food, so we could survive longer without having to worry about finding money to buy food for the next day," answered Anne quietly. Her voice was shaking with tears with her swollen eyes holding back the tears from falling.

"Please Anne, change that mindset of yours. The Higgins gave you that food because your mother worked for them, what you get is what you deserve. So you don\'t owe them anything, especially after what they did to you. Get rid of that kind of thought, you don\'t owe them. They owe you." With a loud voice, Jack spoke back to Anne. He seemed almost out of patience at this point. Dealing with Anne did require a lot of patience and Jack had experienced this many times when he was a barista at Anne\'s coffee shop.

Anne looked at Jack with a wistful look. She slowly hugged Jack and leaned her head against Jack\'s broad chest. "I don\'t know what to do without you, Jack, I\'m too stupid. I\'m sorry," she said quietly with her eyes closed.

Jack pursed his lips hearing Anne\'s words. This was the first time that Anne had taken the initiative to hug him first. Because he didn\'t want to talk much, he allowed Anne to keep hugging him like that. Erick, who was about to report further developments, immediately canceled his intention when he saw his master was enjoying some alone time with the woman he loved. That was why he chose to go back into the house and continue his work, while dragging Alice, who wanted to peek at Jack and Anne\'s intimacy.
