Chapter 82

“Mr. Harper,” the detective said as he closed the notebook and rose from his chair.

The twins turned to the side. As soon as they found Frank, Emily’s lips. widened, while Louis pouted.

“Mister Kind, are you done with your business? We have finished the

interrogation.”

“He doesn’t need to be questioned, Emily. He didn’t know anything. Big bosses usually only rely on their men.”

Frank snorted sadly. He wondered why Louis was so sentimental towards him. Conquering his heart seemed to be more difficult than

Kara’s.

“Louis, you can’t talk like that. Remember! He’s the one who found us up there,” Emily said in a half-whisper.

The corners of Frank’s lips curled up again. At least, he had one person on his side.

“So, how far has your investigation gone?” he asked Carlos.

The detective put his hands on his hips. “We have just investiga

the car used by the kidnapper. It turns out….”

Carlos’ jaw tightened. “The plate number does not match the

registered vehicle. He had obviously stolen the plate to put it on his registered vehicle. He had o

car.”

Frank’s eyebrows pressed against his forehead. “How many cases of car plate theft were there in the last week?”

Carlos secretly glanced at the Twins. It was not right for him to

“We are still investigating it. Buutoon’t worry, sir. We will try our best to arrest him.” The detective put conius best smile.

Frank nodded. After the detecouse went from his sight, he took over

his seat. He was now facing the wiss.

“Both of you are so great. You can go trough the interrogation

without your mother. Where is she? Frank started glancing here and

there.

Mommy is calling Grandma.” Louis penned deeper into his chair.

“Yes. Grandma must be very wonted Beccusse of that, Mommy tried do caim her down.” Emily stroked Yegion: Sinead as if it were Susan.

Frank nodded in understanding. After a monteenoor silence, he finally arised an eyebrow. “Are you scared?” he asked carefully.

Entity nodded innocently, while Louis shook his head and chuckled. If one of his arms wasn’t in a cast, he would have dobleed its arms in

roonoof his chest.

your doc:

“If you stay at my house, I can increase the security team to thirty people. That villain will have no chance to meet you guys.”

Emily was stunned. Louis almost gaped. However, the boy kept his teeth clenched.

“What if we want to accompany Grandma to the library? Will those. people come along? We will look like we are in a parade.”

Frank laughed lightly. “Not all of them, Kid. I will assign nine guards to accompany you, just like mine.”

“Okay, that sounds cool,” Louis nodded stiffly. “We appreciate your good intentions, Mister Harper. Unfortunately, all decisions are in Mommy’s hands.”

Emily nodded in agreement. Even though she was curious about the big boss’ house, she still had to support her mother.

“What are you talking about?”

The twins looked over. Seeing Kara’s bright face, they also curled up their lips.

“Mommy, Mister Kind offered us protection.”

“He invites us to stay at his house,” Louis continued with puffed cheeks. “Do you think that’s okay, Mommy?”

Kara’s smile threatened to fade. Quickly, she covered it with a chuckle. “Little Bee, have you forgotten? You still need to be hospitalized. Your cast needs to be replaced.”

“Is there any shift?” Frank asked quickly. There was a frown at the base of his eyebrows.

Kara knew the response was sincere, but she didn’t want to think too far into it. “Louis moved a lot today.”

The man took a short breath. “That makes sense. He has been running and even climbing the stairs.”

“Aren’t I great? I can climb stairs with two legs and one arm,” Louis showed the rows of his tiny teeth.

“Yeah, you’re great. But now, you can’t move much.” Frank chimed in first. He even rubbed his little hero’s head lovingly. Kara felt disturbed.

“Mr. Harper, can we talk for a moment?”

Frank understood the meaning behind that soft, emphasized voice. He got up and followed the secretary around the ambulance. Many people could see them there, but no one could hear them.

Kara folded her arms and started whispering, “Why did you offer the twins to stay at your house? Haven’t I emphasized that they are not your children?”

“Kara, can’t we stop arguing about that? Even though they are not my flesh and blood, I already know them and care about them. The

criminal is still out there.”

“If you really care, let me resign from Savior. That way, I can be with them 24 hours a day. I can protect my own children.” Kara’s eyes were so sharp and steady.

“Are you sure you want to stop working? How can you support then They need food, clothing, and proper education.”

Kara was flabbergasted. The CEO had attacked the right spot.

“I still have savings. We can hold on until your wedding day arrives.”

Frank’s brow furrowed deeply. He didn’t expect that his intelligent

secretary could be so shallow-minded. “You still think it was my grandfather’s doing?”

Kara raised her chin. “Yes. If it’s not him, then whom?”

The CEO sighed faintly. “Rolland.”

Kara’s eyes widened. She suddenly remembered the mysterious message she received earlier. It made sense if it came from Rolland. It was him who fell down because of the scandal.

“But it’s impossible. He’s still in prison.”

“He was free last week,” Frank explained in a low voice. He could see violent vibrations in Kara’s eyes.

Kara knew her former co-worker very well. Rolland was an ambitious genius. The man had a ton of ideas to achieve his goals and knew no stopping. If he sent a dead kitten, it meant he wouldn’t give up before his target suffered a similar fate.

“Oh my God,” Kara couldn’t hold back the rush in her lungs. “I have to report this to the police. He must be arrested immediately.”

Just before she ran, Frank grabbed her arm. “Kara, wait. You don’t need to panic. I’ve ordered Jeremy to take care of it.”

Under the furrowed eyebrows, Kara’s eyes filled with tears. She didn’t know whether to express her thanks or push Frank’s hand away.

If she accepted Frank’s helping hand, her deal with Rowan would definitely fall apart. However, if she still tried to be independent, the twins are at stake.
