Hannah Higgins and her husband, Robert Higgins, were sitting beside the bed of their only daughter, Sophia, who had been transferred to the VIP treatment room. The husband and wife looked sad when they saw that their only child sleeping on the hospital bed with hands that had been wrapped in gauze.
"It's almost eleven o'clock at night, why hasn't Jack come yet? Where is the man? Doesn't he know that Sophia is ill, Robert? Where is our future son-in-law?" Hannah asked quietly while looking at the door of Sophia's treatment room which was still tightly closed.
"I don't know. His cell phone is not active, dear," answered Robert briefly.
"Gee, that ignorant boy dares to ignore Sophia. What is lacking in our daughter? She is beautiful, famous, good at playing the piano, there is no other girl who can be compared to Sophia. What an ignorant man," said Hannah Higgins in annoyance.
Robert Higgins was actually very angry and disappointed at Jack, but he tried to be patient. He tried to calm his wife so as not to make a fuss. The reason was that they were currently in the hospital, looking after their only daughter who was still unconscious.
A few hours ago, when Hannah and Robert Higgins arrived at the hospital, Erick and the rest of Jack's men had been hiding in a special room after having a long talk with the man who had brought Sophia to the hospital. Erick carried out Jack's orders to ensure that Sophia's parents only knew that their daughter was saved by the man and that the man had taken their daughter to the hospital. Jack was forced to ask Erick to do this so that Sophia's parents didn't feel that Jack still had feelings for Sophia.
After doing their job well, Erick and the group then left the hospital. They still had a new task from Jack to protect Anne from Hannah and Robert Higgins. As one of the people who had been with Jack for a long time, Erick was very familiar with the nature of Hannah Higgins, who used to be very close to Jack. Therefore, he decided to immediately carry out the orders given by Jack, that was to protect Anne in silence, including sending several people to work at Ganke Inc. Production. Some of the bodyguards who had the best self-defense skills were already on their way from Switzerland on Jack's orders. Some of them would later live in the same apartment as Anne, while the others would follow Anne from afar, according to Jack's previous orders.

Jack really didn't want to mess with Anne's safety, so he did all this. Even though Jack didn't know that the Higgins family had quite a complicated relationship with Anne in the past. Even though their family had changed their last names, Anne still remembered the faces of the thieves that made her uneasy to this day.
Before the sun rose, Sophia gained her consciousness. She immediately became hysterical when she saw her parents. Hannah, who was curious about her daughter's condition, immediately asked her only daughter.
"So you're doing this because of Jack? Why are you this reckless, Sophia, what if no one saved you yesterday?" Robert Higgins rebuked in surprise. He didn't expect his daughter to do such a reckless thing to get Jack's attention, who didn't care about his daughter.
"I thought Jack would stop the car and approach me, Daddy, sob, I really didn't expect him to be this cruel to me boo hoo...He chose to leave me on the side of the road in pain. I really didn't expect Jack to be so cruel This is me, I'm sure he still loves me, that's why I dared to do that stupid thing, Daddy. If I had known Jack would ignore me, how could I have cut my own hand? It hurts Daddy, it really hurts. I can feel how blood came out of my hands, I was already so scared. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you guys again, boo hoo," Sophia cried hysterically when she found out that it wasn't Jack who took her to the hospital. She really didn't expect Jack to just leave her. Even though she had actually seen that Jack was gone, because when she was about to lose consciousness, she saw clearly how Jack's car actually drove very fast, leaving her lying on the ground with her hands bleeding.
Seeing his daughter crying like that, Robert immediately hugged her tightly. He tried to calm his only daughter to stop crying.
"Don't cry, baby, stop crying. I'm going to be crazy to see you like this. About Jack, you can calm down. I will make him regret what he did, I promise you, dear," said Robert Higgins softly with eyes blazing with hatred at Jack, who dared to leave his only daughter on the side of the road like that.

"Yes dear, don't worry. Your daddy and I are here with you. We will both make sure that Jack returns to you. You are the only woman who deserves to be Mrs. Muller. Because from the start, the position as the mistress of the million-dollar heir has been in your hands, so you calm down. We will both make sure that position falls on you, we will make him marry you, no matter what," Hannah Higgins said with determination, even though she knew that her daughter had made the mistake of cheating many times and leaving Jack openly, but Hannah Higgins still believed that Jack would accept Sophia again.
Hannah Higgins thought that since Sophia and Jack had been matched for a long time, especially since they were also engaged, she didn't care about anything else. She had determined to make Sophia and Jack reunite. She would force Jack to accept Sophia back. In fact, when Sophia started having an affair with Edmund, she supported her daughter's actions, because at that time, she thought that Edmund was much more handsome and smart compared to Jack. Hannah even became a living witness when Sophia handed over her chastity to Edmund. At that time, Hannah believed that Edmund would be able to take Muller Finance International further if he took the position of director, but when she found out that Edmund was not part of the Muller family, Hannah finally strongly opposed her daughter's relationship with Edmund. Even when Sophia started a romantic relationship with Esteban Shevchenko, again Hannah Higgins supported her daughter's actions. But after finding out that soccer players didn't make as much money as she imagined, she finally asked Sophia to return to Switzerland and approached Jack again.
"I will make sure that Mrs. Muller's position falls into my daughter's hands. Only Sophia Higgins is the woman who deserves to occupy that position," said Hannah Higgins in her heart.
A nurse who was asked by Erick to monitor all the movements of the Higgins family was seen smiling behind the curtain when she managed to get a recording of the little family's conversation. She then sent the recording to Erick. The reason was that before Erick came home, he had spoken to the nurse and gave her some money to do this task, and the nurse, who was in need of money, didn't mind doing it either. She was happy to undertake the job, as it was pretty easy. Moreover, the amount of money she received was very much, even more than her total salary of working for two full years in the hospital.
In his car, Erick smiled when he received the message from his nurse. His cynical smile grew when he heard the conversation between Sophia and her parents. He was really disgusted with that shameless family, especially when he heard Sophia's words, who still hoped that Jack would accept her after what she had done so far. Without thinking, Erick then sent the voice recording to Jack, even though at this time Jack's cell phone was turned off.
"Only good women deserve to be by Boss' side, not a cheap woman like you, Sophia Higgins," Erick said softly when he managed to send the voice message to Jack.
After saying that, Erick then asked the driver who was driving his car to increase the speed so he could get to the airport quickly to pick up several bodyguards who were due to arrive in London.
