S31 34. Change of Plans

“Grandma,” Philip rubbed Diana’s shoulder, “Don’t be sad. There will definitely be time for you to talk to Frank or Kara. We still have to go back to the inn anyway. We can’t contact Jeremy from here, right? Frank might forget.”

Right after Diana nodded, the door opened again. In an instant, the voice of a toddler was in the air.

“Come on, Mommy. Walk carefully.”

“Yes, don’t let Little Baby shake in your stomach.”

A second later, Kara appeared with two toddlers holding her hands. ” Barbara, meet my little bodyguard. Aren’t they great?”

Barbara nodded. “Yeah, I heard they are the best in the world. Even Frank Harper’s bodyguard can’t beat them.”

Louis’ lips pursed. “Don’t underestimate us, Auntie. For Little Baby, Emily and I are willing to do anything.”

Emily nodded cutely. “Yes, I will protect Little Baby from anything.” Her tiny thumb poked her own chest

“Because of that,” Louis turned his head and looked up at the other face, “sorry, Grandma. We can’t attend the party. Mommy’s health is more important. So maybe, we’ll come again next year. That’s if you don’t mind.”

Diana smiled bitterly. Her eyes occasionally glanced at Kara.” Congratulations. I’m happy about your pregnancy.”

Kara was stunned. She had actually been surprised by Diana since waking up in the car. However, realizing her sincerity, she returned a smile.

“Thank you very much, Grandma. I appreciate your concern.’

Diana nodded. Her hands began to intertwine, looking for the right second to express courage. “Hmm, actually-”

“Mommy, how about you sit down first? I think Daddy will take a

while. Mommy can’t be too tired.”

Diana swallowed her words again. With an empty heart, she watched the twins lead Kara to a nearby bench.

“Thank you, Little Angels,” Kara said before looking back at Diana. ” Sorry, what do you want to talk about, Grandma?”

Philip played with his eyes, gesturing for Diana to move quickly. However, just as she walked, the phone in Philip’s pocket rang.

“Jeremy?” Philip frowned when he found the name on his phone. Blinking, he answered, “Hey, you climbing a tree?”

“Where are you guys now?”

Philip’s eyebrows rose. “In the hospital.”

“More precisely?”

“In front of the ultrasound room. What’s going on?”

“You haven’t read the news? Check it out. It’s in the headlines.”

After Jeremy ended the call, Philip rushed to open the news portal. Gosh….” He rubbed his chin.

Barbara furrowed her eyebrows. “What’s wrong, Philip?”

With a deep sigh, Philip handed over his phone. Barbara checked.

It turned out that Melanie’s picture had been used as the cover of the headline news video. At the bottom, a large title appeared. “Melanie Harris isn’t crazy. Kara Harper is.”

Barbara gasped. Her hand rose to cover her mouth. “How could this happen?”

Seeing that pale face, Kara’s eyebrows moved down. “What’s wrong, Barbara?”

The girl looked at her with shaking eyes. However, after a blink, she turned to Philip.

Kara understood the meaning of that glance. “Please don’t hide anything from me, Barbara. I’m fine. Come on, just say it.”

After letting out a faint sigh, Barbara sat down next to Kara. “Please don’t be surprised.”

“I won’t.”

Then, Kara took the phone from Barbara’s hand. The twins immediately took positions to the left and right of their mother.

“Oh? Why is Grandma on the news?” Louis asked as he just glanced at it. As soon as he read the title, he gasped. “Why is there news like this, Mommy?”

Kara blinked stiffly. Her head shook. “I don’t know, Little Bee.”

Curious, Diana moved closer. However, before she managed to I Kara had tapped the screen. The video started, showing a black background with an audio symbol in the middle.

“Get me out of here!”

It was Melanie’s voice. Everyone fell silent, listening.

“What else is this? Let go of me! That’s the woman you’re supposed to be looking after here. She’s the one who asked me to pretend to be crazy. She’s obsessed with my son!”

Kara exchanged glances with Philip and Barbara. Her eyebrows

slightly furrowed, but her gesture was still calm.

Suddenly, Louis tapped the screen twice. Puffing out his cheeks, he placed his hands on his hips..

“The voice recording was cut. Someone must have intended to

manipulate it. He or she wanted to frame Mommy.”

“But what I’m wondering is why Grandma Melanie said that. Who was she talking to?” Emily said with a serious expression.

“Who is Melanie?” Diana failed to contain her curiosity.

Barbara exhaled heavily. “My mother. It’s a long story, Grandma.” She looked embarrassed.

“Let’s continue with the video first!” Louis tapped the screen again.

However, no sound could be heard. The scene then changed to a video recording of Melanie sitting with a sunken face and thick eye bags.

“Why don’t you believe me? I’m still sane. I’m not really crazy. That woman trapped me.”

After a few moments, Melanie patted her chest. “I’ll really go crazy if I stay here. Please, let me out. Tell Frank that all this is just a trick that rotten woman.”

After sitting forward, Melanie increased the intensity of her gaze.” She’s obsessed with Frank. She wants to have Frank completely. She knows my presence could be a hindrance to them, so she locked me in here.”

Silence hung again. Melanie’s eyes trembled, as if she was listening to something.

“I told you I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. How could I have the guts to kill someone? I wouldn’t even dare to cut a chicken. It was just an

accident. I admit I’m a little depressed, but I’m not crazy.”

After a short pause, Melanie let out a heavy sigh. “Don’t listen to her. Don’t believe her innocent face and sweet mouth. She’s a vixen. She’s the reason I’m stuck here. So please….”

Melanie suddenly dropped to her knees. She crawled over and shook something, maybe the recorder’s leg.

“Get me out of here. I’m in so much pain. I’m afraid I’m really going crazy.”

When the recording stopped, a news reporter appeared.

“This morning, we were shocked by a video of Melanie Harris. She was locked up in a room at a rehabilitation center.

“Melanie Harris is the mother of Frank Harper, CEO of the Savior Group who is said to be one of the greatest business people in the world. Several weeks ago, Frank Harper stated that his mother had to be treated at a rehabilitation center for mental disorders. However, as

we could see in the recent video, Melanie Harris looked healthy. She was actually depressed because she was locked up in that place.”

“She emphasized several times that she was not crazy and asked to be released. She also mentioned that she had been framed by a woman who was believed to be Kara Harper, her own daughter-in-la Her statements certainly sparked various responses from the publ
