Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

75. Just Be Honest

Jeremy rushed to carry out the order. He was relieved that the critical period had passed.

“Miss Martin….”

Jeremy stopped his words. There were many ears around. He couldn’t possibly warn Kara.

“Mr. Harper is calling you,” he said with great emphasis. He hoped that Kara could catch the code sent through his eyes and tone of

voice.

However, Kara didn’t get that signal. She was really tired. She didn’t sleep last night, and now, she had to face the boss.

“Okay.” Kara sighed heavily. With lazy steps, she entered the CEO’s

room.

“What’s wrong, Sir?”

Frank’s body stiffened. He squeezed his cold palms under the table. ” Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be on guard at the hospital?”

“I didn’t apply for leave,” Kara said briefly, emphasizing that she was not a special employee.

“Then, what about your family? Is there anyone looking after him?”

Kara’s jaw tightened. Susan was allowed to take her time off until Louis got better. Therefore, she did not need to be on guard.

“That’s none of your business, Sir.”

Frank suddenly had tightness in his chest. The image of Louis

haunted his mind.

KKara shook her head and sighed heavily. Her trembling

toto push the arms around her.

“Let me go, Sir. We are at the office. I don’t want to cause any misisunderstandings.”

Helowever, Frank was reluctant to let go. “This is not a

misisunderstanding. I do love you and I just want to be with you, Kara. I caabbe a good husband for you, as well as a good father for your

clubdieren.”

Karar buturexed/wide eyed. She felt like her nightmare was almost coming titrere below could Frank possibly mention the children?

“Stop the a mossense, Sir. You will marry Isabela soon, remember? You have promised, dkkara grimaced.

“Can’t you stop belaing so hypocritical?” Frank turned Kara around so

‘Why don’t you just be a breast with me? Four years ago, you gave birth to my children, right?t?’

Frank really wanted to a slokhlaq question. However, his lips were stiff. Moreover, Kara’s face was sopalale and withered.

Closing his eyes, Frank finally loowwed elecrealized that he had pushed Kara too far.

This is not the right time. His gripi wezkakened.

“Okay, I’m sorry. Sorry if I’ve added to you buitelen! i’m still not used to receiving rejection. Please… just ignore anyly veverreaction earlier.”

Kara froze. It’s hard to believe that Frank kalaprewwould give in so easily. However, after a blink, she raised hereckihia @gjain.

“Good. I hope you always remember. A man must be able promises. Otherwise, like a soldier without a sword, he w

unreliable.”

Frank knew that sentence had two meanings. First, he must not cancel the marriage. Second, he had to ignore Kara’s life. If he broke it, Kara wouldn’t listen to what he said anymore.

Slowly, his hands let go of Kara. He felt empty, but proud of his

sanity. When the secretary left the room, he could only smile sadly without words.

“Miss Martin, there’s a package for you,” Jeremy whispered as he greeted Kara at the door. His hand pointed towards the table.

Kara nodded without saying thanks. Her vocal cords were still too shaky to use. After taking the box, she walked straight towards the

pantry.

“Did he cry?” Frank asked as Jeremy entered the room.

The assistant shook his head briefly. “No, Sir, but her eyes are a little teary.”

Frank sighed and sat down in his chair. He was like a marathon runner who failed to reach the finish line. “You heard everything, didn’t you?”

Jeremy was silent for a moment before nodding. “Only partially. But, I think, your decision is quite wise, Sir. Now is not the time to push her.”

Frank’s eyes spontaneously widened. “You know the truth?”

Jeremy’s expression was so flat. It’s hard to read what’s in his heart or mind. Just as Frank was about to draw a conclusion, Kara’s scream suddenly echoed. “Aaah…!”

Hearing that scream, everyone gasped. “Kara?”

With tense expressions, Frank and Jeremy ran towards the Several bodyguards arrived first. There, they found Kara

She stood close to the wall. Her arms were wrapped around herself, while her gaze was fixated on the box that was lying on the floor.

“What is that?” Frank’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

A guard rushed to bring the box without the lid. As it turned out, two kittens covered in blood were already lifeless inside it.

Frank clenched his fists. “Who sent it?”

The other guard pointed to a piece of paper in Kara’s hand. Without wasting time, Frank approached her.

“Kara, are you okay?” He touched the secretary’s arm.

Kara couldn’t answer yet. Her lips trembled, while her eyes looked at Frank as if hoping for help.

“Don’t be afraid, Kara. There are many people here. We will protect and help you through this.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Frank took the paper that the secretary was holding. With a serious look, he studied the message written in red ink.

‘You shouldn’t let other people go down with you!’

Frank’s jaw throbbed. He glanced back into the box. That was clearly not Rowan’s doing.

“Jeremy,” Frank handed the paper to the assistant, “look into this.”

“Okay, Sir.”

However, as Jeremy was about to leave the pantry, Philip came with a stiff expression. His eyes opened wide looking for Kara. “Miss Martin, there is a call for you.”

Kara flinched. “From whom?”

“Your mother.”

Kara’s heartbeat became increasingly erratic. Breathing through her mouth, she walked to her desk. Frank and the others immediately

followed with tense look.
