Chapter 116
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father
Rowan snorted. He didnât care about the last two sentences.
âYou wait here,â he said in a low but firm tone.
The guards nodded. As they were lined up at the side of the stairs, the old man walked upstairs with his assistant. After a few moments, Rowan slammed the door.
Inside, Frank was leaning against the table. His expression was flat with his hands tucked into his trouser pockets. Obviously, he already knew about his grandfatherâs presence and was ready to welcome him.
âGood afternoon, Grandpa.â
Rowan swung her hand to Frank. In a blink of an eye, Frankâs head spun to match the blow. Reddish color appeared on his cheek.
âWhereâs your brain, Frank? Are you planning to destroy your own future? Do you want Savior to be destroyed?â
Rowanâs voice boomed. His shoulders were shaking. However, instead of bowing, Frank let out a smile.
âThe news came out because of Isabelaâs actions. Why do you blan me?â He raised an eyebrow, seeming unperturbed by the slap.
âStop playing dumb! Youâre the one who spread that rumor to the media! You are deliberately ruining your future wifeâs good name!â
âThen what should I do? I refused nicely, but my words fell on deaf ears. I donât want to have a wife who behaves negatively like that, Grandpa. She will only be a bomb thatâs going to destroy my
reputation anytime. Did Grandfather not take that far into account?â

Before Rowan could reply, Frank raised his finger. âAnd please take a note. It wasnât me who ruined her good name, but her herself. If she behaved well, this commotion would never have happened and I
might have learned to love her.â
âNonsense! Have you forgotten? His last name is Hall? She is the
bridge to expand our connection. You should bury that disgrace, not bring it to the surface!â
Rowanâs voice was getting louder. However, Frank still responded calmly.
âI wonder why Grandpa insists me on establishing relations with the Hall family? Havenât they been proven to be weak? Look at how they handled this scandal. This news wouldnât have had time to get out if they were really alert.â
âFrank Harper!â Rowan snapped echoingly. His face was very red. âI donât want to hear anything more from you. Cut your game! This time, I wonât let you act again.â
Instead of closing his mouth, Frank smiled wider. âWhat do you want from me, Grandpa? Erase all the news about Isabela? But the whole world already knows. If I accept Isabela as my wife, I will be lab fool by everyone. Are you okay if Harperâs name is tarnished like
Rowanâs hands were clenched and shaking. He really wanted to his grandson. âApologize to the Hall family! Confirm that the new wrong. Convince everyone that you and Isabela love each other. two have never betrayed and are loyal to each other.â
âYou still want me to marry that girl?â Frank asked, more like a murmur. After a moment of silence, he laughed dryly. âToo bad, youâre late, Grandpa. I have already made a decision and it cannot be changed.â
Rowanâs breath suddenly hitched. He understood the meaning behind
yuu
Frankâs lips pursed. âI have published my response. Not many. Just a few sentences.â
The old manâs chest grew tighter. The twitching on his face became even more intense.
âSean!â He turned to face the assistant. In an instant, the well-built man handed him his phone.
Apparently, a video had been watched by thousands of people. Frank was wearing the same clothes he was wearing now.
âAs the CEO of Savior Group, the future husband of Isabela Hall, I apologize for the news circulating. The mistake made by my future wife should not cause public uproar. I apologize for failing to guide my fiancée and causing unrest to the wider community.â
Frankâs smile in the video looked sincere and sad.
âHowever, on the other hand, I also feel the same disappointment that you feel. I actually knew this a long time ago, and have given her many chances to change. However, with this news breaking out, I think it is time for me to announce that our marriage must be
cancelled.â
âGod damn it!â The phone in Rowanâs hand flew quickly towards Frank. Luckily, Frank was able to catch it swiftly. âHow dare you make such an important decision without asking my permission?â
âIâve asked your permission to break up with Isabela and date Kara, but you donât agree.â With an innocent face, Frank returned the phone. âBecause of that, I was forced to do it alone. By now, the whole world is probably praying for Kara and me
Rowanâs eyes couldnât get any rounder. With an uneven breath, he grabbed the phone roughly then watched what happened next.
âOn this occasion, I would like to announce that about four years ago, I found the true love of my heart. However, considering that at that time I was still attached to Isabela, we both kept our distance. Now that I am no longer Isabelaâs fiancée, I want to start a relationship. with her.â
Rowan didnât want to hear any more. He gave the phone to Sean then. raised his finger to Frankâs nose.
âYouâll regret it, Frank. Youâll regret it! You think you can go against my will? Youâre so wrong!â
Without further ado, Rowan turned to the door. His face was twice as scary. The servants who eavesdropped trembled, running away as fast as they could.
âIâve miscalculated. I shouldnât have delayed it,â Rowan grumbled as he walked towards the stairs.
âIs there anything I should do, Sir?â Sean asked flatly.
The old man stopped walking. Seeing no one around them, he turned and patted his assistant on the shoulder. âDonât hesitate any longer! Poison her so that she can no longer breathe. I wouldnât want
Harperâs name attached to her.â
Hearing the whisper, Louis gasped. Covering his mouth, he froze and held his breath.
âWho is she they are talking about? Is that Mommy? They want to poison Mommy?â
Louis sharpened his ears again. The sound of footsteps that had previously stopped in front of his bedroom door had now disappeared. At that moment, he closed the door slowly.
âThis is bad! This is so bad!â He paced back and forth. The book he had left near the door had been forgotten.
âAt this rate, I have to support Frank to become Daddy. He is rich and has many bodyguards. Only he can protect Mommy.â
Picking up his book, Louis got out of his room. Right at that moment, a servant came up the stairs with a tray in her hand. The young woman looked anxious. She didnât even greet Louis.
âWhat do you bring?â Louis asked with a firm blink.
The servant gasped. With her eyes moving wildly, she replied, âThis is tea for Miss Martin, Young Master. Your mother asked for it.â
Louisâ brows immediately furrowed. His thoughts were on the poison. âItâs impossible for Mommy to ask for tea at lunch time.â
However, before Louis had time to reply, the servant continued her steps. âExcuse me, Young Master.â
