Chapter 192 - The Bastard

Anne, who accidentally received a video call from Leon, had to put on a friendly face when Leon spoke to her.

"Are you alright? I felt guilty when I left you at the restaurant yesterday. I should have taken you home at least," Leon said regretfully.

"I\'m fine, I also went straight home after you left me the other day," replied Anne slowly, continuing to put on a friendly face.

"Where are you now? Can you send me a copy of the contract," Leon asked again excitedly.

"I\'m in my room, I\'ll probably send a copy of the contract in a few days. My laptop is having problems so I can\'t scan the contract I\'m having. It\'s okay if I send it a little late, right?" Asked Anne while lying to Leon.

"It\'s alright, Marianne, no problem. It will be better if we can meet so you can give me the copy of the contract," Leon replied with sparkling eyes.

Anne almost choked when she heard the last words from Leon who asked her to meet again. Anne never thought that Leon would be shameless enough to ask to meet again even when it was clear that they didn\'t have a normal relationship like most people, especially when Leon was now the husband of Anne\'s friend who had betrayed her.

Holding back her emotions, Anne looked at Leon on the screen of her cellphone. By putting a thin smile, Anne said, "From now on you better not..." Anne stopped her words for a few seconds because she was trying to stop herself from exploding, her eyes staring at the screen sharply. She then continued his words, "Contacting me again like this."

"Why not, Marianne? Are you mad at me? Sorry, I was insensitive yesterday, I should have taken you home. I\'m sorry Marianne, I\'m really sorry that I..."

"No, that\'s not it. You have to remember your status, Sir. You are now Steffi\'s husband who used to be my close friend. I don\'t want to make her misunderstand our relationship," said Anne quickly while cutting Leon\'s words, she was eager to end her conversation with Leon at this time.

"You don\'t have to think about Steffi at all, Marianne. She\'s just an uneducated stupid woman, so you don\'t have to worry about her. As long as she doesn\'t touch you then you don\'t have to be afraid and even if that happens I would be the first to break her hand," said Leon quickly, trying to make sure not to make a fuss about Steffi.

Hearing Leon\'s words really made Anne almost vomit, she could no longer talk to Leon like this. Leon is the definition of an asshole who had no shame and no self-respect, Anne wanted to throw a glass of water on Leon\'s face so that Leon realized what he just said.

Seeing Anne was silent without saying a word, Leon started to be worried, he thought that Anne was afraid of his wife, Steffi. Leon quickly said, "If you don\'t like Steffi\'s presence then I\'ll get rid of her."

Anne blinked her eyes in disbelief after hearing the statement from Leon who wanted to get rid of the woman who was clearly his wife. She almost choked herself because of Leon\'s unbelievable words.

Anne cleared her throat and calmly responded, "She\'s your wife, you can\'t do that to her. After all, aren\'t you guys the most romantic couple in the entire Berlin? You\'ll ruin your reputation in the eyes of Berlin people if you do what you just said to me, Mr. Leonardo Ganke," said Anne quietly, trying to stop Leon from getting rid of Steffi. If that happened, her plan to teach Steffi a little lesson would be in vain.

"But..."

"Well, let\'s not talk about it anymore, I don\'t want to talk about it now. The point is that, as a woman, I don\'t want to hurt Steffi\'s heart and feelings. That\'s why I try to keep my distance from you. So, I hope you understand what I\'m trying to say. It\'s not because I want to mock her or anything. I just don\'t want to offend her feelings as a fellow woman since I know how painful it is to be betrayed by another woman," explained Anne in more detail.

Leon immediately fell silent when he heard her, all the joints in his body felt weak. He didn\'t expect to hear words like that from Anne. As one of the people who had made Anne suffer in the past, he knew very well what Anne meant.

"I\'m sorry, Marianne, I must have hurt you so much. I shouldn\'t have done that stupid thing, I shouldn\'t have been seduced by Steffi, I should have listened to grandma when she said that you were the perfect woman she had prepared to be my wife, I should have…"

"Stop, don\'t continue it any further. I don\'t want to talk about the past, it\'s all behind us now and I don\'t want to remember it anymore. It\'s better if we never discuss it again, your status is now Steffi\'s husband. Everyone knows that. Hmm, I have to go to the bathroom, I\'ll hang up now," without waiting for his response, Anne immediately hung up the call.

Anne quickly turned off her phone again because she didn\'t want Leon to call her, she didn\'t want to give any chance for Leon to call her out of nowhere just like now. Feeling very annoyed, Anne threw her cell phone on the bed, she felt disgusted and angry with Leon.

"How could he talk like that? What a heartless human you are, Leon. Arrggghh... why do I have to run into you again? Why do you have to come to London? You should live a happy life in Berlin with Steffi. That way I don\'t have to deal with both of you again... you bastards!!! You are a total bastard, Leon!!!"

Anne shouted quite loudly while cursing Leon, her emotions were boiling by Leon\'s words that wanted to get rid of Steffi for her sake. Anne didn\'t feel sorry for Steffi, she didn\'t think about Steffi at all. What she found disturbing was the fact that it was so easy for Leon to dump one woman for another and this made Anne very angry. She didn\'t think Leon would dump a woman that easily, even when the woman had given him a lot of happiness. Anne still remembered what Leon had said that night when she caught Leon and Steffi making love. Leon said that he was very satisfied with Steffi, he was joyful with \'the pleasure\' given by Steffi.

"You are the biggest bastard in this world, Leon. You are more disgusting than an animal," Anne cursed with anger, her hatred for Leon was getting bigger now.

Meanwhile, Jack looked very unsettled inside his car, he had tried countless attempts to contact Anne. But he only received a waiting tone.

"Why don\'t you just call the maid to know Miss Anne\'s current condition, Sir," said Erick softly, glancing at the mirror.

"Oh, yeah, why didn\'t I think of that? Akh, you are so stupid Jack," said Jack quickly while patting his forehead when he realized his mistake.

Alice who had been sitting beside Jack didn\'t move at all, she could only stare at the front to find Erick ridiculed her through his expression.

"Ahhh… Susan, so glad you picked up my phone. How is Anne? What is she doing right now? Is she okay? You have to make sure that she doesn\'t use her left leg to walk, just what Pierre suggested earlier. Could you tell me what she is doing now?"

Susan, who had just picked up the phone, seemed to be moving the phone away from her ear because Jack\'s voice sounded too loud for her.
