- Threaten Each Other
“You’re out of your mind, huh? You’re willing to sacrifice your future for a girl who has nothing? Should I use threats to make you come to your senses?” Rowan shook his head with wide eyes.
Unexpectedly, Frank raised his chin. “What can you take from me, Grandpa? Freedom? You already took it a long time ago. The company? I’m the brains. Without me, Savior would die.”
Hearing that bluff, Rowan’s breath became hoarser. However, that’s the reality. There was nothing he could take from Frank … other than the secretary.
“You really love that girl, don’t you? What if I take her from you?”
Frank’s expression turned dark. His hands clenched even tighter. Please don’t test my patience, Grandpa,” he said in a low tone.
Noticing that change, Rowan chuckled. “Are you afraid?”
“If you dare to disturb Kara, don’t blame me if Savior collapses.”
Rowan took a deep breath. His blood could really reach the crown of his head if he failed to control Frank immediately. “You dare sacrifice your life for that woman?”
“Savior is not my life, but your life. Isn’t that the masterpiece that has always been your pride? I know that you don’t really care about the fate of millions of Savior employees, Grandpa. You only care about the company’s reputation and achievements.”
Clutching his chest, Rowan tried to control his anger. His eyes were closed. The doctor had warned him not to let his heart beat too fast. He had to listen if he wanted to live longer.
“You’re an adult, Frank. Think wiser. Imagine what would happen if

would fall, but your reputation too.
Frank snorted. His expression seemed to belittle Rowan’s warning. You always demand that I pursue the perfection. You also hope that I will get a perfect partner.”
“Yes, Isabela is the answer,” Rowan interrupted, emphasizing that he did not accept any other answer.
“What if I could prove that Kara is better? I think it wasn’t just you who would change your mind, but the public too.”
Rowan was silent for a moment. He was suddenly afraid that Isabela would not be able to beat the secretary.

“Isabel comes from a good family. She has a brilliant career and her name is famous everywhere. How can a poor woman beat her?”
“I told you that Isabel is stupid. Even her family doesn’t want her to take care of the company. That’s because she doesn’t understand anything. What will Savior become in the future if I choose a brainless companion like that?”
Suddenly, Rowan sneered. “You said you’re capable of leading Savior alone. Why do you need a wife who is good at business? We only need the network and abilities of her family, Frank.”
“Since when does our family rely on anyone else?”
Rowan turned silent again. He had made a wrong move.
“My decision is final, Grandpa. I will make Kara part of the Harper family. I hope you don’t hinder my wishes. Don’t let our family have no successor.”
While Rowan was at a loss for words, Frank raised an eyebrow. He put on a meaningful smile, before stepping back. “Good night, Grandpa.”
Is fists. He stared at Frank’s departure
with furrowed brows and a sullen look.
“Sean, it looks like you really have to investigate that girl.”
Hearing his master’s grumbling, Sean nodded. Without waiting for clearer orders, he sent people to gather information about Kara. The next day, he just had to reap the results.
“Report, Sir. Kara Martin is not an ordinary girl. She almost married Finnic Miller, but it was canceled because of an infidelity scandal.”
Rowan’s eyes widened. “She had an affair?”
“Yes, Sir. She was framed by her own co-workers, but the Miller family doesn’t seem to care about the truth. They continue to make her life difficult. Finnic Miller must be hurt and have a grudge against her.
Rowan subconsciously pouted. His eyes wandered far away. “So, she has charmed another rich man before my grandson?”
“Kara Martin is famous as Miss Perfect, Sir. She is skilled in many fields. Her business abilities are also beyond doubt. That’s what made her career skyrocket and she became the idol of many men.”
Rowan nodded. He now understood why Frank dared to challenge him like that.
“What about her family?”
“Her father died long ago. Her mother worked in a library to support her. Now, they live with two twins who are most likely the result of the
scandal.”
“Kara already has children? Then why does Frank like her?” Rowan’s eyebrows rose to their maximum.
“It seems that Young Master doesn’t know. His IP address has never accessed the secretary’s data.”

Rowan smiled crookedly. He had just found a way to get his grandson back. “Turns out, this wasn’t as difficult as I thought.”
“And Sir,” Sean interrupted, “you’ve already met her children.”
Rowan was stunned. “Already?”
“They are the genius toddlers who received scholarships from you.”
Rowan’s jaw dropped. He didn’t expect Kara to be that cunning. “She used her children to get close to me?”
After one snort, he raised his finger. “Sean, Frank probably won’t come to the inauguration, but I want you to guarantee it. I have some business with Kara, and he can’t know.”
“Okay, Sir.”
Saturday morning, Rowan deliberately arrived early. He wanted to observe Kara and the twins.
“They’re coming, Sir.”
Rowan immediately glanced at the entrance. As expected, Kara hid herself. There were only Louis and Emily there.
As the two toddlers entered the hall guided by a committee member, the other guests were attracted to them. Louis wore a blue suit, while Emily wore a pink dress with a crown. They were so cute with their sunglasses and backpacks that had pictures of cars and flowers on
them.
Rowan once thought Louis and Emily were cute too. However, since learning the truth, he immediately changed his mind. The friendly smile completely disappeared from his face.
“Emily, look! That’s the kind grandfather who gave us the scholarship,” Louis whispered after observing the atmosphere for a moment.
