Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

33. Ten Slaps for Kara

Sensing the fear in the air, Frank spoke up. “You have misunderstood, Grandpa.”

“Shut up!”

Frank was pierced by his grandfather’s sharp gaze. Pressing his lips together, he clenched his fists. He really didn’t expect that his prank could bring about such a big disaster.

“You! Why do you dare attack my grandson?”

Kara’s lips trembled violently. Her hands were linked in front of her stomach, protecting and squeezing each other. She didn’t have time to think about her messy hair anymore.

“Sorry, Sir. I didn’t mean to hurt your grandson. I was upset because he snatched my chocolate and-”

“Is that a good reason to attack him?” Rowan interrupted sarcastically.

“It is not like that. My hand accidentally hit his face. Then he pulled my hair.”

“And you fought back?”

Rowan’s voice broke Kara’s will to defend herself. Her lips were trembling without words as Rowan turned to Frank.

“Have you forgotten what I taught you? An eye for an eye. Why did. you pull her hair instead of slapping her?”

Frank sighed faintly. “Please don’t exaggerate, Grandpa. She didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Sean!” Rowan exclaimed, ignoring his grandson’s words. “Find a new

The men in the line furrowed their eyebrows together. They were well aware that the future of all employees who left the Savior Group

would not be bright, let alone … failed bodyguards like them.

Knowing their anxiety, Kara felt guilty. After taking a few breaths, she dared to take a step forward.

“Sorry, Sir. This is my mistake. I am the one who has to bear it. If anyone should be fired, it would be me.”

The bodyguards glanced at each other with wide eyes. They didn’t know that Miss Secretary had such guts.

However, Frank thought Kara was stupid. He now looked at the girl while shaking his head in disbelief. “Kara, don’t add to the problem.

Hearing that whisper, Rowan pressed his forehead with eyebrows. He seemed to have found the answer to his surprise yesterday.

“Your hand could land on Frank’s face because these guards were not good at guarding him. Are you sure you are willing to bear their mistakes?”

Kara swallowed hard. She remembered the twins. Louis and Emily would definitely be very sad if something bad happened to her.

However, she also didn’t want to be seen as a bad luck to the guards’ families. The twins could suffer the consequences if she didn’t take

responsibility.

“Sure, Sir.”

Curling up the corners of his lips, Rowan nodded. “Sean!”

The well-built assistant came to his master’s side.

“Give this insolent girl ten slaps!”

Frank and his guards gasped. Sean was no ordinary assistant. He

was the most feared former special force member. He could swim across a strait, defeat a hundred enemy troops single-handedly, and break ten bricks in one blow.

“Wait, Grandpa! Kara didn’t mean to harm me. This problem doesn’t need to be exaggerated,” Frank said panicked.

“She herself has agreed. One slap will save one guard, and the tenth will save herself,” Rowan said lightly before turning to the side. “Sean!”

The assistant stepped in front of Kara and opened his watch. His gaze was cold and his expression flat. “Tell me when you’re ready.”

Even though her heart was beating fast, Kara tried not to lower her chin. “I am ready.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Wait a minute….”

In a glance, everyone fell silent. Frank could only swallow his words. back. His eyes opened to the maximum watching Kara stagger while covering her cheek.

“Kara, are you okay?”

Frank checked his secretary’s condition. Her cheek was red and her lips were bleeding. However, Kara shook her head as if she didn’t feel

anything.

“I’m fine,” Kara said weakly. Her legs struggled to stand straight as her eyes blinked against the dizziness.

“Second slap!”

Frank glanced at his grandfather with a cynical look. “Enough, Grandpa! You have no shame in hurting a girl like this?”

“She wanted it herself. If she stops now, she has to choose a name

that can be saved.”

Unexpectedly, Kara pushed Frank’s hand to remove her arm. She was indeed scared and in pain. However, a Kara Martin would not be able to live in peace if other people suffered as a result of her action.

“Please continue,” she said to Sean.

The second slap sounded louder. Kara’s ears were ringing. The pain was even more intense. She could no longer maintain her balance. If Frank had caught her waist too late, she would have landed on the floor.

“Stop it!” Frank shouted at Sean. His eyes were burning red.

“There are still eight left, why stop?” Rowan asked lightly. He didn’t look compassionate at all.

Grimacing, Frank bent down to examine Kara. Knowing that the girl was half conscious, he lifted her into his arms.

“Kara is my secretary and they are my bodyguards. No one has the right to fire them except myself.”

Rowan forgot to blink. Frank’s action was truly unexpected. “You defend people who endanger yourself?”

“It was actually Grandpa who endangered my reputation. Hurting women is not in my principle. From now on, if you just wants to cause a scene, it’s best not to come here.”

After stating the ultimatum, Frank left the room. His guards followed without waiting for orders.

Rowan snorted, but he didn’t stop them. He was finally convinced that what made his grandson soften was that impudent secretary.

“Sean, tell Isabela that her position is threatened if she is still waiting

for this weekend’s fashion show.”

“Yes, Sir.”

While Sean contacted Isabela, Rowan frowned at the chocolate scattered on the floor. He didn’t want the Savior Group to be scattered like that.

***

Frank stared pensively at Kara who was still asleep. Her lips were no longer bleeding, but bruises were starting to appear on her cheeks.

“You don’t need to worry, Frank. Your lover is fine. She only suffered a mild concussion. She will recover as soon as she wakes up,” Wela explained while packing her medical equipment.

“She hasn’t had a CT scan yet. It’s too soon for you to conclude that she’s fine.”

Wela smiled. Her heart tingled because Frank didn’t refute the word lover” in what she said earlier. And what was even more encouraging, her best friend let a girl occupy his bed.

“Trust me. Your girlfriend looks strong. She’s fine. Now I have to go back to the hospital. Let me know if she’s still dizzy when she wakes up.”

Frank sighed in resignation. After looking at Kara one more time, she whispered to Wela, “I will increase your compensation this month.”

“Relax, Frank. I’ve always been paying for nothing. What kind of private doctor whose job is just to prescribe supplements and prepare auto injector? Even every time there’s an attack, you never got a single stretch.”.

“You hope I get hurt so you can work?” Frank said sarcastically.

“Of course not,” Wela grinned wider. While carrying her bag, she patted the CEO on the shoulder. “After your lover recovers, let’s arrange a double date.”

Frank snorted. He was too lazy to correct the word “lover” from

Wela’s sentence. Moreover, he also realized that his attention towards Kara was unusual.
