Chapter 115

Isabela’s expression turned serious. The longer the explanation she heard, the stiffer she became. Occasionally her eyes moved to glance

at the CEO. When she put the phone down, her face was ashen.

“What’s wrong, Isabel? Did something bad happen?” Frank asked, feigning concern.

Instead of answering, Isabela trembled. Her feet subconsciously moved backwards. Her eyes moved here and there looking for a way to escape.

Kara could smell her fear. Stepping forward, she touched Isabela’s shoulder. “Miss Hall, are you okay?”

Isabela unexpectedly screamed and slapped Kara’s hand away. Then, with ragged breaths, she ran down the stairs. Kara and Louis furrowed their eyebrows, wondering.

“What’s wrong with her? Did she just get a call from a ghost?” Louis muttered as he monitored the direction Isabela was running.

Meanwhile, Frank let out a smile. Kara understood the meaning of that expression. “What are you doing, Frank?”

The man raised his eyebrows innocently. “What? I do not do anything. Maybe she’s got karma from deceiving everyone.”

“What do you mean?”

Smiling faintly, Frank opened his phone and showed something. Kara learned it seriously. A blurred photo of Isabela with a man appeared above the big headline. Isabela, the Famous Supermodel Who Achieved Success through Shortcuts.

With furrowed brows, Kara studied the article. After finishing tracing,

“She used her body to get the position on stage and photo shoot?” she whispered to the CEO.

With a crooked smile, Frank leaned closer to Kara’s ear. “Why do you think she got to that stage? Her fashion is bad, even now when she has developed a lot because of the influence of other supermodels.”

Kara looked at Frank with her mouth slightly open. She was still blinking in disbelief. If Louis hadn’t been standing there glaring them, Frank would have eaten her lips.

“What are you two talking about? You guys make me curious.”

Kara suddenly stepped back, putting a safe distance between her body and the CEO. “This is a adults’ business, Little Bee. It’s not time for you to understand yet. But what’s clear is that Isabela has serious problems. Therefore, she left without saying goodbye. The problems must be taken care of immediately.”

Louis’ lips pursed between his chubby cheeks. “Did she get caught in a scandal?”

Kara’s eyes immediately widened. “How do you know that word?”

“I saw it in a newspaper displayed in the library,” the toddler said lifting one shoulder lightly.

“Louis, read what is appropriate for your age.”

Raising an eyebrow, Louis turned towards his room. “Okay, but I do promise,” he muttered before disappearing behind the door.

Seeing his son’s behavior, Frank couldn’t help but laugh. However, when his eyes found Kara’s serious gaze, the corners of his lips immediately fell. “What?”

“Is this how you deal with your problems? By knocking out your

your

company? This news will definitely have a big impact.”

“Hey,” Frank cupped Kara’s slightly pale cheek, “don’t worry.

Everything is under my control. There will be no problems.”

“You always say that,” Kara sighed as she looked down, avoiding the CEO’s gaze.

Gently, Frank lifted the heavy-looking chin. “I’m just revealing the truth and this is the most effective way to annul my marriage to Isabela.”

“What if she retaliates by publishing an article about us? Savior and the Hall Company can go to war.”

“If that happens, that’s great! Savior will win and our relationship won’t need to be hidden anymore,” Frank said lightly.

Kara frowned and sighed, “Frank?”

“I’m serious. It wasn’t a big deal to me at all. Everyone makes mistakes, Kara. What makes the difference is how the person is responsible. So, what are you worried about?”

“You didn’t approach me to anticipate that, right?” Kara’s eyes

narrowed.

Frank laughed lightly. “Of course not. Why do you think that?”

“Because your reputation can be saved if people know that you have made peace with the people you left behind.”

Suddenly, the curve of Frank’s lips turned sour. Kara’s banter had shocked his heart. He remembered he had not reconciled with the

children.

“How is Emily? Is she better?” he whispered softly..

“She doesn’t have a fever anymore. She already wants to talk to me.”

Frank nodded slightly. “Good. There is progress.”

Kara could catch the sadness in that voice. Smiling, she looked at Frank deeply. “Give her a little time. Emily can never be angry for more than 48 hours.”

“Does it mean I have to wait another day to see her?” Frank’s gray eyes began to flash with hope.

“Yes. Now go to work. I will catch up after giving Emily some understanding.”

“No, Kara.” Frank held her arm. “I work from home today.”

One of Kara’s eyebrows moved down. “Is it to avoid the media?”

Frank smiled crookedly. “Please tell your mother, she doesn’t need to work either. Let’s hide until the situation is under control.”

“You said this isn’t a big deal?”

“Yeah, but it doesn’t mean we can wander around like there’s no problem.” Frank tucked Kara’s hair behind her ear. “Please be patient for a moment. After I straighten everything out, I will take you down the aisle.”

“Is this how you propose?”

Frank snorted a laugh. His head shook slightly. “For that too, be patient. Now I have to work. Focus on taking care of the kids, hmm?”

Kara’s heart tingled at the whisper, but she didn’t reply again. She let the CEO walk to his study then she headed to Emily’s room. Her daughter must not suffer again today.

Meanwhile, behind the door, Louis’ cheek was still pressed against the board. His eyes narrowed, sharpening his concentration.

However, after a few seconds, his ears could not catch any sound.

“Why are they whispering? I can’t steal any information,” he grumbled with furrowed brows.

After considering for a moment, Louis took a book and a pencil.

Sitting at the table, he muttered, “Even though I don’t understand, I can’t just stay still. I have to get in on the action too.”

All morning, Louis and the book stayed together. They only separated when Louis had breakfast and went to the toilet. Even when it was around the lunch time, he went to the dining room with the book.

“Thinking hard makes me hungry. I have to eat a lot.”

However, when he passed the living room, his eyes widened. “The Kind Grandfather?”

Rowan was walking in accompanied by several bodyguards. His expression was sullen and his aura was bad. Even so, Louis approached him with a sparkling face.

“Hello, Kind Grandfather. Do you come to visit Emily or have lunch with us?”

Still with the same expression, Rowan looked down at Louis. “Where’s my grandson?”

Louis’s finger pointed straight at the study. “Seems like he’s still busy. We promised lunch at 12, but until now, he hasn’t come down.

Mommy and Emily haven’t either. Maybe Mommy is trying to persuade her to eat.”
