Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father
S31 85. The Next Mission
Louis widened his smile. âIâll remember your names well. Who knows, maybe weâll meet again another day. We can repay your kindness when it happens.â
âOh, youâre so cute. What are your names, Sweet Kids?â
âIâm Louis and this is my sister, Emily. We are twins, only a few minutes apart. I was born first,â Louis explained in a proud tone.
âOh, okay. Iâll remember that too. See you later, Louis, Emily.â
The twins waved with a sweet smile. As the young couple looked away, their expressions immediately turned serious.
âEmily, thatâs the car! Come on, help me get the key. Do you still remember the steps we discussed earlier?â
Emily nodded. Then, they approached the car. They didnât care about the warning signs posted there at all.
âIt is prohibited to touch the car or take the key. Violators will be ed $10,000.â
When no one was paying attention, Louis carefully lifted the gla box. Emily swiftly grabbed the key and replaced it with Louisâ rubbe eraser. Its shape was a flat box and the color was black. At first glance, no one would notice that the keys had been swapped.
âSee? Isnât this very easy?â Louis shrugged proudly. âNow letâs go in quietly.â
Louis reached out his hand. Just before he touched the car door
handle, Emily grabbed his arm.
âWait, Louis. You havenât unlocked it with the remote. What if the
1/5
alarm goes off?â Emily whispered while glancing right and left.
âDonât worry, Emily. This car has a keyless entry system. If you bring the key close to the car, it will open and start automatically. Unless, someone turns off the function.â
Louis pulled the lever. But apparently, the door failed to open.
âWill the car make a sound if you open it via remote?â
Louis pressed the button without Emilyâs consent. The carâs rearview mirror instantly opened. The light flashed twice. However, no sound was heard.
âPhew, weâre safe.â Louis stroked his chest then opened the door.â
Come in.â
Emily complied. Once the two of them were in the car, they checked the surroundings. Miraculously, no one noticed. From the outside, the carv
windows looked dark.
âOkay, now we hide here until Daddy comes. Emily, itâs your turn to
take action.â
âOkay.â Emily raised her hands to the bun of her hair. Carefully, s took out a strapless smart watch from inside.
âItâs there? You are awesome!â Louis gave thumbs up.
While turning on her watch, Emily smiled faintly. âThank you. Now letâs call Daddy.â
Unfortunately, a minute later, they still could not contact Frank.
âWhy is Daddyâs number not active?â Emily frowned worriedly.
âMaybe Daddy is on his way. How about we call Mommy? I want to tell her about the success of our mission!â
âJust say that you want to show off this car.â Emily grumbled.
However, she still made a video call to Kara.
Meanwhile, Kara was busy dealing with a sobbing Barbara. Since waking up from fainting, the girl had been constantly lamenting Philipâs fate. However, thanks to Karaâs phone ringing, her tears were suppressed.
âIs it Philip? Or someone who saved Philip?â
Kara checked her phone. Seeing the name that appeared, she widened her eyes. âEmily?â
She rushed to receive the call. Two round faces immediately greeted her. âMommy!â
Kara covered her laughter with one hand. Happiness rose in her eyes. âLittle Angels? How are you guys doing?â
âWeâre fine, Mommy. We ate a lot earlier and fell asleep. But now, weâre hiding in this car.â
âMommy, you should know how great we were.â
Louis told Kara about their mission. His enthusiasm was fiery. Hearing that, Ava joined in beside Kara.
âWere you guys really kidnapped? You look like⦠youâre not being kidnapped.â
The twins chuckled. After that, they told Ava about what training they had received and applied today. Their voices were cheerful until
Barbaraâs sobs caught their ears.
âMommy, why is Auntie crying?â
The tension that had subsided suddenly flared up again.
Unfortunately, before Kara had time to answer, Barbara said, âPhilip had an accident. His car overturned and exploded. Until now, we havenât had any news about him.â
In an instant, the twinsâ faces turned gloomy. Their lips pursed. Their shoulders drooped.
âIs what Auntie said true, Mommy? Philip had a serious accident?â
âPhilip couldnât have died, right?â
Kara couldnât lie. âYes, Philip had an accident, but Daddy and Mommy are sure that he is safe. Donât think too much about that, hmm? Just focus on surviving. Wait until Daddy picks you up. When you go home, Philip will definitely be back.â
The twins nodded. Their hopes had somewhat dimmed. However, before Kara had time to recover their spirits, several men in black suits had run and stood around the car. From the entrance, Victor stepped out with a furious face.
Emily gasped when she realized his presence. Without thinking, she buried herself in the seat. She didnât care if Louisâ face was out of the frame. The important thing was to be more alert.
âMommy, letâs continue the talk later. Louis and I have to take care of something.â
Before Kara had time to answer, the call had been disconnected. caused extreme worry in her heart.
âDoes something happen? They look really scared,â Kara sighed as she clutched her phone to her chest.
Ava held Karaâs shoulders. âI donât think you need to worry, Mrs. Harper. Louis and Emily have survived this far and earlier, they looked fine. They can definitely survive.â
Kara sighed faintly. In her heart, she agreed with Avaâs words.
Meanwhile, on the cruise ship, Victor condemned the behavior of the toddlers who dared to touch his favorite car. His gaze was sharp, as
if he knew where Louisâ head was. His face flushed, holding back the heat of the rising emotions in his chest.
âClear the area!â
In an instant, the people who were standing behind him scattered. They directed the shipâs passengers to leave the dining room. To make things easier, someone took over the speakers.
âAttention, attention. Two thieves have escaped here. Please leave this room immediately. Once the arrest process is complete, we will make a comprehensive announcement so that you can continue eating lunch. We apologize for the inconvenience.â
While people were busy moving away, the twins flickered around observing the situation. Victor was still standing in front of them and his men were ready to receive orders.
Louis knew as soon as the room was âemptyâ, the enemy would take the action. Therefore, while praying, he moved his seat forward until he was almost standing. His left hand held the steering wheel; his feet were standby on the pedals, and his right fingers were nimble in touching the screen.
âEmily, put on your seat belt.â
Emily complied with a tense expression. âDo you want to start the car? Weâre on a boat, Louis.â
Louis just shook his head. His mind had been locked to maintain concentration until suddenly, Victorâs voice boomed.
âIâll give you a chance. Get out of my car and apologize, or youâll regret it.â
