Chapter 39

“Because of that, I take it very seriously that I decide to quit. I will leave and disappear from this city.” Kara nodded firmly.”

Frank snorted lightly. “Are you really stupid or pretending to be innocent? My grandfather is not an ordinary man. His men are spread all over this country. Moving to other city is not enough to save yourself.”

Kara took a deep breath. She knew that what Frank said was true. However, only that way, she had a chance to secure the twins.

“I’ve resigned, so my safety is no longer your concern.”

“Nonsense!” Frank pounded the table. A second later, he tore Kara’s letter into shreds. “I am your only option for survival.”

Kara sighed. With a tired expression, she took another envelope out of her bag and placed it on the table.

“My business is done. Excuse me.

Kara turned towards the door. However, after a few steps, Fra ad turned her body so that they were facing each other.

“What demon has gotten into you, hmm? Wake up, Kara! You ha future out there.”

‘And the twins have no future if they don’t get away from their fath and great-grandfather.”

Kara smiled wryly at the sound of her heart. Shaking her head firmly, she brushed the CEO’s hand off her arm.

“I’m just a lowly, useless woman. Why do you spend your time. protecting me from your grandfather? Wouldn’t your life be easier if I

rciciono, picast… ut me pack any longer.

It’s time for me to leave.”

Frank gritted his teeth. His chest tightened to hold back the feeling that he couldn’t express right now.

“You saved me once. What harm would it do if I repay you this time?” he whispered, keeping his voice from leaving the room.

“You already paid me back, Sir, when I got stung by the bees. We’re even.”

Frank laughed wryly. “It’s not comparable.”

“Let’s just say it’s comparable. So now, we have no relationship anymore. Excuse me.”

Before Frank could restrain her, Kara walked out of the room. Her face was a little pale and her heart was pounding in pain. She was well aware that once she was free from Frank’s grip, she would have to face everything alone. For Louis and Emily’s sake, she had to be a tough and brave mother.

“Kara!” Frank shouted, hoping the girl would stop.

However, Kara didn’t listen. She collected several important items from her desk and left. Frank could only watch her back disappear from behind the glass with his hands clenched.

“Sir,” Jeremy called quietly. He was sticking his head out from the gap. of the door. “Do you want me to chase her?”

“No need. Let her come here herself. Send 720.000 dollars to her

account.

Jeremy stared. “Are you sure, Sir?”

“Do it! Now!”

Holding back his hot breath, Frank smiled crookedly. ‘You won’t be

Meanwhile, Kara was patting herself on the shoulder in the elevator. ‘ Good job, Kara. Good job. You’ve managed to escape the clutches of that Perverted Demon.’

However, as she just left the Savior building, her phone vibrated.

Thinking it was a message from Louis or Emily, Kara checked it casually. But, as she read the notification from the bank, her eyes. almost jumped out.

“What is this? Why did he send me 720.000 dollars?”

Kara started to break out in a cold sweat. Her shoulders rose and fell to compensate for her shallow breaths. After chuckling in annoyance, her feet returned to the elevator.

“Do you want to play with me? Or do you want to frame me? You want to throw me in prison on charges of embezzlement, huh?”

Frank didn’t answer when Kara burst in. He pretended to focus on the monitor displaying the programming language.

“Frank Harper!”

Hearing the desperate screech, Frank rubbed his ear. “Since when did you become my grandfather?”

Kara grimaced in annoyance. Stamping her steps, she approached the CEO and showed him her phone screen.

“Explain what it means!”

Frank raised an eyebrow and glanced. “I don’t understand either. You embezzled the company’s money?”

Kara sighed heavily. She was really tired. She already tried several times to return the money during her walk. However, the transactions always failed.

“What do you want, Mr. Harper? Why do you enjoy seeing me suffer so much?”

Seeing Kara’s desperation, the corners of Frank’s lips twitched. “What do I want?”

Suddenly, he got up from the chair and moved forward towards the girl. Both of his hands were shoved in his pockets.

“As your boss, I have fulfilled my obligation to hand over your salary for three years. Now it is your turn to fulfill your obligation.”

“I don’t want to. I’ve resigned. Why do you keep forcing me? Wouldn’t it be easy for you to find another secretary who is better and classier? Kara argued with her head slightly raised. She didn’t want to appear weak.

Frank shrugged. “I admit that I misjudged you. Of the many

secretaries who have worked here, it turns out you are the best. So, instead of looking for a new one, wouldn’t it be better to keep the existing one, one that has proven to be good and loyal?”

Kara blinked, not understanding. “I wasn’t loyal. I submitted my resignation.”

“Yes, you’re loyal. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t still be here,” Frank said with a crooked smile.

Kara sighed faintly. She looked like a fool now. ‘I shouldn’t have to go back. I wasn’t the one sending these funds. Why am I afraid?’

Without further ado, Kara turned towards the door. However, the CEO held her arm again.

“Where are you going?”

“To prove that I’m not a good or loyal secretary. Let me go!”

Kara jumped, trying to escape. However, Frank’s grip was like a chain

“Frank Harper! Stop bothering me!”

With all her strength, Kara tried to flee. However, Frank’s fingers were as stiff as a rock. Desperate, she started hitting the shoulder in front. of her.

“I said let me go! Why do you like to provoke me so much?”

“That’s because you like to be disobedient. If you were obedient, I wouldn’t have disturbed you.”

“I will never obey you!”

Kara started to go crazy. She kept hitting Frank’s shoulder with her fist. However, the man just looked up and let out a small sigh. The blow meant nothing to him.

Suddenly, Kara raised her leg, preparing to kick. Frank finally moved. In an instant, Kara’s body spun and locked in his arms.

Kara was stunned. She couldn’t believe that she would end up in that position. Her back was close to Frank’s chest and her arms were crossed in front of her chest. She couldn’t move at all.

“You….”

Kara kept jumping, but she remained stuck with the CEO. Only after her strength was drained, did she stop moving, panting for breath.

“Okay, I give up. You can let me go now,” she sighed.

“No way. You’ll definitely run away,” Frank whispered with a crooked smile. He was secretly happy to feel that warmth again. He didn’t. care if Kara’s eyes was now closed in immense anxiety.

“Sir, don’t you realize? If you continue to behave like this, I will think. that you have fallen in love with me. People will also think that you are afraid of losing me.”

Kara’s voice was so thin and weak. However, the vibrations succeeded in shaking a woman who was wide-eyed at the door.
