Chapter 293 - Symphony Of Life?
Anne was still silent when Jack talked at length to Erick and Alice about the plans for the press conference for Sophia which would be held tonight. Jack wanted to imdiately make Sophia admit that the song she claid to have been composed by her was actually belonged to Anne. He wanted to solve all of Anne's problems as soon as possible to be free from the Higgins family.
"I want all the reporters to cover last night's event and make sure that Sophia will speak the truth and say that the song that belongs to ..."
Jack imdiately stopped what he was saying when he felt Anne's hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong, Anne?" Jack asked quietly, his sharp eyes turned soft as he spoke to Anne.
"I don't want Selma to ntion my mother's na or my na, I just want her to admit that the song isn't hers, Jack," said Anne quietly as she lowered her face to the floor.
Jack raised his eyebrows at Anne's words. "Why is it like that, Anne? Let everyone know that the song belongs to your mother, Anne, and you as her child is the rightful heir to the ownership of the song. After Sophia admits everything, you can get royalties for the song if the song is patented as a creation of your mother, Anne."
Anne lifted her head and looked at Jack with an indescribable look. "That song is a song that my mother rembers with soone I don't know who. Obviously my mother only plays that song without my father's presence, and I have also promised her not to play that song in front of many people even though the song is very beautiful. I don't know what the secret behind that song is, but my mom didn't want it to be played in public. That's why I want Selma to admit that it's not hers and will stop playing it forever. I want the mories my mom in that song stays a secret, Jack."
Hearing Anne's words made everyone in the place silent, including Jack, who was standing right in front of Anne.
"You can do that, can't you, Jack?" asked Anne again.
"But it will be difficult, Anne, once Sophia admits that it is not a song by hers, people will definitely be curious about the original creator of the song," answered Jack slowly. He felt that Anne's request was a bit difficult this ti.
"Then just say that the songwriter's na is Ariella," said Anne briefly.
"Ariella? Isn't that your last na?" Jack asked confusedly.
Anne shook her head slowly. "I have two last nas that confuse , because my father changed his na which automatically changed my last na. That's why I prefer to just use the na Marianne or Marianne Ariella. It's a na that my mother likes, that's why I want you to ntion Ariella as the creator of the song."
Even though he was still confused about the reason that Anne said, Jack couldn't help but nod his head as a sign of approval to Anne's request. He then turned to Erick, who gave an answer with a small nod from Erick.
"I'll do whatever you want, so you can rest easy now, Anne. I'll make sure Sophia can't use that song again forever," said Jack, quietly promising Anne, who he hugged back.
Anne smiled at Jack's words. She then closed her eyes in Jack's arms. Jack also tightened his arms around Anne's body. He was happy because he could help Anne. Because the press conference was still long enough, Jack invited Anne to take a break and let everyone work, preparing a live press conference on Sophia's social dia account, which would be covered by all the reporters that Erick had contacted. Actually, to destroy Sophia's na, it was a small problem for Jack, but because Anne only wanted Sophia to make a statent about the copyright to the song that was stolen by Sophia, Jack couldn't help but follow the procedure that Erick made.
anwhile, Sophia, who had just finished being made up by a make-up artist hired by Jack, was seen sitting on the sofa where she was going to make a statent directly on her social dia account. She looked very annoyed at the mont because she couldn't run away from Jack's plan. The reason was that at this ti, his father and mother were still held by Jack, which inevitably made her must obey Jack's will to hold a press conference regarding the ownership of the Symphony of Life song that made her a great pianist many years ago. When Sophia was sitting silently, suddenly the door nearby opened and Jack and Erick entered.
"Jack, please don't be like this. If you do this, I will be destroyed. Jack, the career I have built for years will..."
Swoosh!
Jack threw a pile of paper at Sophia suddenly which made Sophia startle and run away for fear that the papers might hurt her beautiful face. For Sophia, her face was her most valuable asset besides her body.
"Read that paper, you will conduct a press conference by reading that paper. You must do my bidding Sophia and don't try to cheat again. Rember that your father and mother are still in my power. They will die in the most terrible way if you don't do my orders. Not only that, I will also make you suffer if you dare to cheat. I will sell you to the largest prostitute organization in the Middle East and you will not be able to get out of that place, because once you enter that place, then you will continue to languish there as their sexual gratification and you will also not be able to kill yourself, because you will continue to be watched by those people. So the conclusion is that for the rest of your life, you will continue to be the gratification of the desires of the n in that place. It's easy for to do that, Sophia, and no one will be able to help you if I act," said Jack, quietly threatening Sophia.
Sophia's hands trembled when she heard Jack's words. She had heard of the barbaric mob in the Middle East, sex-hungry n who will not be satisfied with just one woman, crazy n who do not hesitate to share won for mutual satisfaction. Seeing Sophia's fear, Jack smiled. He was happy that he had succeeded in scaring Sophia. Even though he wouldn't be able to do that because he wasn't a heartless lecherous person who would sell a woman to a sex-crazed man, Jack deliberately said that to threaten Sophia.
"A-after all this, you're going to let us go, right?" asked Sophia, stuttering.
"Of course, I'm not soone who doesn't keep my promise, Sophia. After you do what I tell you, I will release you all and help you return to Switzerland, to continue your life from scratch because I'll take back all the facilities that my father and mother gave you," Jack answered flatly without guilt.
Sophia's eyes widened. "You can't do that Jack, my aunt and uncle had given everything to as a gift for our first engagent. So you can't take them away, I won't allow that to happen, Jack!!!" scread Sophia panicked. She didn't want all the luxury that she had in Switzerland taken away by Jack.
"You're not in a position to bargain with , Sophia, you should be thankful that I didn't throw you out on the street after all that you've done to all these years. Now you better morize the text so that at the press conference you will look natural as usual. When you act in front of reporters, rember, I don't want any mistakes. So don't disappoint or you will end up in the Middle East like I said before."
After saying that, Jack then walked away from the room with Erick, leaving Sophia alone with a laptop that was ready to broadcast live through Sophia's social dia account. Sophia then chose to do what Jack ordered. Thirty minutes later, Sophia did what Jack told her to do, she did everything that was written on the paper that Jack had given her earlier.
From the second floor, Anne sat alone in the room watching the live broadcast that Sophia was doing. Her tears slowly rolled down when Sophia ntioned Ariella's na as the composer of the Symphony of Life song.
"Mom, I've succeeded, Mom. Your song has returned to you, sorry that it took this long. Hope you rest in peace, Mom," Anne sobbed softly while clutching her chest tightly. From behind the door, Jack heard what Anne said and he chose to give her so ti alone.
