Chapter 48

Rowan raised an eyebrow. He read Sean’s cold eyes. There was a serious threat in them. “What?”

“On the night of the scandal, Young Master was at the same hotel.”

Rowan’s eyes nearly jumped out of their sockets. His lungs suddenly filled with increasingly intense suspicion.

Since seeing Louis without sunglasses, he had been haunted by the figure of little Frank. Sean’s information made that possibility clearer.

“Have you got a photo of the co-worker?”

Sean put his phone on the table. Rowan immediately noticed. A brown -haired man with matching eyes appeared on the screen. Not a single facial line was similar to Louis or Emily.

“Is there any other information?” Rowan had broken out in a cold sweat.

“When the scandalous video went viral, Kara said that she had not slept with this man.”

“That means there’s someone else? It could be Frank?” Rowan sighed. spontaneously. A second later, he reached for a glass of water. His throat was dry.

“And, Sir,” Sean continued, adding to the burden in Rowan’s heart,” there was someone who investigated this case before us. He covered up his identity quite well.”

A sigh escaped Rowan’s mouth quickly. “Was that last week?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“It must be Jeremy. No wonder he wasn’t seen in the office. Turns out

Rowan leaned back as if exhausted. His heart was too tired, while his brain was hot from working too hard.

“Sean, find out if Frank knows about the twins.”

“Sorry, Sir,” Sean interrupted unexpectedly. “Didn’t Young Master mention it? After you met the twins, you went straight to Young

Master and mentioned their genius. Young Master said that he had met them.”

Rowan’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. His finger was half raised. “Then, find out whether he already knows that they are Kara’s children or not. This is serious, Sean. Really serious. The marriage between the Harper and the Hall is in danger.”

“Don’t worry too much, Sir. You remember? The little boy said that his mother’s eyes were copper yellow. I noticed that the woman was wearing brown contact lenses. There is a possibility she is hiding her identity from the Young Master.”

“I hope you’re right,” Rowan sighed before calming his breathing. “But we must not be careless. Keep investigating how well Frank knows

the woman and her children.” Sean nodded.

As Sean walked out with the phone on his ear, Rowan gripped the glass tightly. ‘How could Frank act so carelessly? Doesn’t he understand that Harper’s blood is so precious? He shouldn’t have mixed quality genes with cheap genes. I did hope for great- grandchildren, but not this instant.”

After grumbling in various languages, Rowan started laughing evilly. This cannot be allowed. Tomorrow night, the woman must be taken care of immediately.”

As soon as the twins entered the bedroom, Kara went over to

Jeremy’s car. She sat in the passenger seat, asking, “Where is your master?”

Jeremy swallowed his last bread then slipped the plastic wrapper in

the door pocket. “Meeting a client in a neighboring town,” he

answered casually.

Kara nodded with a sigh of relief. “Thanks, Jeremy.”

“Not a problem. He wants to avoid his grandfather. He’ll be back tomorrow afternoon.”

After a moment of silence, the assistant whispered, “So, is your plan going smoothly?”

Kara glanced at him with a flat expression. She herself didn’t know

the answer. “It seems so.”

“Then, did your date go well too?”

Kara lowered an eyebrow. “Jeremy, can you stop following me? Frank once said that his grandfather would not act recklessly in crowded place. Without your supervision, my family and I will remain safe. You should go home and rest.”

“I was ordered by the Young Master to keep an eye on you, Miss Martin,” Jeremy explained flatly. His compliance made Kara snort faintly.

“Okay, just do whatever you want, and please don’t reveal my secret. I have to go back before anyone looks. Thank you, Jeremy.”

Kara grabbed the doorknob. Just before she pulled it, Jeremy called out. “Miss Martin….”

Kara turned her head.

“If I may give you a suggestion, be careful with Mr. Wilson.”

Kara’s eyebrows furrowed again. She had heard warnings like that from Frank. “Why?”

“He is a playboy who likes to trap women. You don’t want to be the next victim, do you?”

Kara’s lips pressed tightly. She reviewed her moments together with Ben. The man obviously was looking for her attention. However, his gentle and warm attitude made Kara doubt if his sincerity was fake.

‘Does Ben have the heart to hurt a single mother like me? But he was very nice to the Twins.”

“Is that warning from Frank?” Kara asked, still with furrowed

eyebrows. “Don’t worry, Jeremy. I’m not interested in a relationship with any man. My focus right now is only my children. Flirtation or praise will not affect me.”

Before Jeremy could chime in, Kara got out of the car. Her face looked indifferent. In fact, she was starting to hesitate.

During lunch and shopping at the mall, Kara was amazed and touched several times by Ben’s treatment of the twins. She was sure that the man was sincere. However, Jeremy’s serious warning made various questions arise in her mind.

‘Is it true that Mr. Wilson is not a good man? Could it be that he was just pretending? Or is this just Frank’s trick to get me to stay away from him?’

Just as Kara closed the apartment door, a message came to her phone. “Kara, are you free tomorrow night? How about you help me? I

can pick you up.”

Kara sighed. She couldn’t decide which decision was wiser. She put his phone back and went to the twins’ room. She needed a little.

entertainment.

Kara peeked through the slit in the door. The twins were apparently chatting casually.

Louis looked engrossed in his new transformer cars, while Emily was busy organizing her new book collection. Kara quietly smiled watching them.

“Yeah, I also like the food at that restaurant. But, in comparison, the pancakes you ordered are better than the steak I ate. I should have ordered that too,” Louis muttered with his head bowed. His fingers. moved nimbly to change the shape of the car into a robot.

“Why didn’t you say so then? I could share half of it for you, o

u, or … Mr. Wilson might order another portion for you. He’s rich and kind,” Emily said without taking her eyes off her small shelf full of books.

Suddenly, Louis widened his eyes. “Does it mean you agree with me? Mr. Wilson is suitable to be our Daddy?”

Kara’s smile suddenly faded. Her expression turned serious at Louis’ question. Her heart pounded waiting for Emily’s response.

“Yeah, I like the way he talks to us. I also like his appearance and kindness. He said my dress was beautiful. He even bought me a new one. And most importantly, I love the joy when he is with us.”
