“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

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

Frank nodded in understanding. After a monteenoor silence, he finally arised an eyebrow. “Are you

he would have dobleed its arms in

“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.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“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?”
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.”
“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.
“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.
