Chapter 504 - The Return Of Jack
Jack could only be silent when he heard the words of everyone in front of him, starting from Doctor Leo, Luis, and his grandfather, they each took turns trying to explain to Jack.
"Forgive , Jack, forgive your grandfather's selfishness. I know what I have done is very cruel and unfair to you, but believe there was no intention whatsoever from to harm you. The first ti Luis told Grandpa about you being unconscious after being rescued from the ocean, I was very surprised and happy because I still have one other surviving grandson, that's why I asked the doctors to save your life in various ways at that ti, including stimulating your dying brain using your twin brother's mory," said Mr. David Clarke, ending his explanation. His voice was hoarse from crying.
Jack looked at everyone who was currently surrounding him in turn. "Then why are you telling about this now?"
Mr. David Clark gave a code to Luis with a small nod which was imdiately understood by Luis. He imdiately walked with so of his n to a closed room. Not long after that, Luis walked in front of his n who pushed a coffin made of tigerwood with beautiful carvings and a big letter C on the right and left sides of the coffin.
Jack's eyes narrowed when he saw the coffin that was now in front of him. "Why is there a coffin here?"
"In this coffin are the remains of your twin brother, Alan Knight Clarke, who died two years ago, Jack," replied Mr. David Clarke hoarsely.
"What?!!!"
Everyone in the place imdiately lowered their faces, including Anne, who had just arrived. Only Jack was surprised when he was told about who the person that was lying in the magnificent coffin in front of him.
"Why... why wasn't he buried? Didn't he die two years ago?" asked Jack with full of emotion.
"For many reasons, Jack, one of which is for your own safety," replied Mr. David Clarke again.
"Fuck! What crazy reason is that?!! You know that there's a man in this coffin, right? Do you really think that if you keep him like this he will be happy and calm there, even though his body is currently in such luxurious coffin? No, it's not like that!!! The reason for my safety is also far-fetched! If you don't want the public to know that Alan is dead, you can give him a normal funeral, without having to keep his body like this! That's crazy... this is really very crazy."
Mr. David Clarke imdiately closed his lips when he realized that his grandson was furious. He felt even more guilty because he kept Alan's remains in a coffin without holding a proper funeral for him.
Jack took a deep breath to see everyone who was lowering their heads one by one, until his gaze finally stopped on Anne, who was standing behind him. Without a word, Jack then approached his wife and imdiately wrapped his big arms around Anne's waist. "Tell , since when did you know all this, Anne?'
Anne, who was surprised because Jack suddenly hugged her, was even more shocked when she got a sharp question from her husband.
"Tell , Anne!!!"
"Sorry, Jack... ouch!"
Jack let go of his embrace and imdiately pushed Anne to the door so hard that her body imdiately hit the door.
"You are the person I really trust, Anne, but why are you also keeping this a secret from ? How do you have the heart to do this to , when you know how big it is..."
"It's not Miss Anne's fault, Young Master, this is...."
"Shut up!! Who ordered you to speak? I'm talking to my woman and you have no right to interfere!!" Jack imdiately cut off Luis' words with a rising voice, which caused Luis to be silent.
Luckily, Anne had ti to hold on to the door handle so her body didn't imdiately kiss the hard floor. Tears gathered in her eyes instantly as she received harsh treatnt from Jack, that she had never imagined before.
Because he could not bear to see Anne being the butt of the young master, Doctor Leo finally approached Jack to try to calm him down. He gave a smart tablet to Jack, who at first refused to look at it. But finally Jack accepted Doctor Leo's smart tablet.
"Look at that photo. All those people are why we all keep this a secret from you, Young Master. Those people were the mastermind behind the car accident that killed Young Master Alan. Those who believed they had succeeded in killing Young Master Alan imdiately ca to this house to et the master. They want to tell the news of the young master's death directly to Mr. Clarke in the hope that the master will imdiately die of a heart attack, so that they can all take control of the Clarke family property that is rightfully yours. And if from the start we reveal your identity to everyone, then it's likely that they will harm you too, because their goal has been to break the lineage of the Clarke family, so that the big master will have no heirs anymore, and they can control this property, which was not their right," said Doctor Leo at length, trying to briefly explain the reason why they all kept this big thing a secret.
While Doctor Leo spoke, Jack didn't take his eyes off the photo of Roger Douglas, his mories that had stopped on the cruise ship ca back to life.
"Who is this man?" asked Jack quietly to Doctor Leo.
"That's Roger Douglas, a good friend of the late Young Master Alan, who is also the mastermind behind the accident that took his life," answered Doctor Leo firmly.
Jack pursed his lips. "He... this man was the last person I saw before I fell into the water, I even saw him clearly carrying a stick on the boat when I fell into the water."
"What?!!" Everyone in the place scread at the sa ti.
Jack smiled. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was this man who hit on the head and pushed into the sea at that ti. I rember this face very well and I can't be wrong."
Mr. David Clarke covered his mouth with both hands because he was so shocked. He didn't expect that the person who caused Jack to almost lose his life was also Roger Douglas, the sa person who killed his other grandson.
When everyone was furious at this revelation, Jack slowly turned to Erick, who was standing next to Nicholas, who had been crying since then, knowing the fact that the master he served had died, Nicholas' heart was broken.
"Do you rember the man who was standing not far from Mr. Kevin Cormier that night, Erick?" Jack asked Erick quietly.
Erick's eyes widened. "Master, you a-already know who I am?"
Jack smiled. "I've managed to rember everything since the first day I woke up at the hospital in York Minster, I knew I was Jack and was very confused when everyone in my treatnt room called by the na Alan. Even Anne, she also called by the na Alan. That's why I kept quiet and tried to find out who Alan was until I finally found out that I've been living with the mories and identity of my twin brother, Alan Knight Clarke."
Again, everyone was shocked to hear Jack's words.
"So-so you rember everything, Jack?" asked Mr. David Clarke subconsciously.
"Yes, I am Jackson Patrick Muller."
