72. Take It Out On Me
Sean checked his phone again. “It’s the boy, Sir-the grandson of one
of the librarians.”
Rowan’s lips moved forward. “How is he?”
“It’s not written in the report, Sir. Do I need to look for the
information?”
Rowan was silent for a moment. Then, he shook his head slowly. “No. That child has nothing to do with
me. Just delete the assault part from the report. Make it look like an accident.”
“Okay, Sir.” Sean stepped back, returning to his original position.
Meanwhile, Rowan sipped tea with a dreamy look. His brows were still furrowed. The image of Louis
refused to leave his mind.
Suddenly, the old man snorted with bitter laughter. ‘I should be thanking the person who launched the
attack. Those illegitimate children should not be born. They will only tarnish Harper’s good
name.’
Closing his eyes, he leaned back in his chair, letting the gentle breeze drift his thoughts.
“Grandpa!”
Rowan opened his eyes. He didn’t know how long he was closed. If Frank’s voice hadn’t echoed, he
would have fallen asleep.
“Sir?” Sean waited for orders.
Rowan just waved his hand. A moment later, Frank arrived on the top porch out of breath.
“What have you done, Grandpa?” the young man asked, keeping his

Rowan glanced at him with half-open eyes. His hand towards the cup that was no longer steaming.
“Enjoying my evening tea and relaxing. What’s wrong? Why do you to visit me in your free time? You
should spend it with Isabela.”
“Don’t act stupid, Grandpa.”
“Oh,” Rowan’s finger suddenly straightened, “I also just answered a call from your secretary. She
scolded me for baseless reasons. You didn’t come here to repeat her words, right?”
Frank snorted. He didn’t believe that his grandfather could still relax after harming innocent people.
“You know what? I’ve been almost crazy all day. Kara doesn’t pay attention to me at all. Even when she
gets into trouble, she still forbids me from helping or finding out.”
While the grandfather listened, Frank continued with more emphasis, I don’t know exactly what
agreement you two made. But, Kara has tried hard to keep her distance. I’m the one who is reluctant to
stay away from her. So if there’s someone you want to blame, it’s me, not
her.”
“So you don’t know what’s going on?” Rowan raised an eyebrow.
Frank was silent for a moment. He seemed to have the wrong strategy. “I know you just hurt her
family.”
Rowan smiled crookedly. “Since when do you make accusations without evidence, Frank? I’m really
disappointed in you. Love has dulled your logical thinking, hmm?”
Frank swallowed hard. His brows furrowed deeper.
“I’m still rational, My Grandson. There’s no way I could cause chaos in

Frank was flabbergasted. Rowan didn’t realize he had given him a clue.
“If it’s not you, then who?”
Rowan shrugged his shoulders then leaned back in the chair. “Don’t know. It’s none of my business.”
For a while, not a single sound could be heard. The silence was only broken when Frank took a quick
breath.
“Kara is the only person I care about. Her business is my business too. If you don’t want Savior’s
performance to suffer, stop bothering her.”
After delivering the ultimatum, Frank turned to leave. He didn’t care if Rowan’s emotions were sparked
by him. The grandfather must know that he would not let anyone hurt Kara.
“Sir?” Sean again asked for directions.
However, Rowan just raised his hand. His mind was too busy digesting the facts.
‘That girl is still keeping her children a secret? Does she really want to keep the children away from
their father?’
Suddenly, Rowan laughed faintly. ‘This is interesting. Let’s see, what is her real intention?’
On the way to the car, Frank kept repeating what his grandfather had said. “It’s impossible to cause
chaos in my territory?”
After sitting behind the wheel, he tapped the dashboard with his finger. “Is it possible… Kara’s family
experienced that incident at one of the Savior companies?”
Frank began to trace the recapitulation of Savior’s daily reports. There

was hit by a book in the library.
“This must be Louis,” Frank sighed as he reviewed his encounter with
the boy.
“Why are their fates so unfortunate? Their parents are busy working, don’t have much money, and can’t
even look after them well. What useless parents ….”
After a brief reverie, Frank blinked. An incoming message just
vibrated his phone. A second later, Wela called.
“Frankie, that’s a list of patients with the last name Martin who came in today.”
Frank put on loudspeaker mode so he could chat while observing the list containing the patient’s name,
room number, medical purpose, and guardian’s name. There were about a dozen people there. Some
of them were children. Louis Martin was one of them.
“Only this?”
“Yes, there is no Kara Martin name in the guardian section. This is a bit difficult for me to solve alone. I
could have checked the CCTV footage, traced where Kara went. But, that will take time. Frank, are you
sure you don’t want to ask my staff for help? They can keep secrets.”
Suddenly, one of Frank’s eyebrows pressed against his forehead. An idea just lit up his mind.
“Wela, can you send me the floor plan of your hospital?” He was able to match it with Kara’s GPS
point.
“Of course. Is there anything else I need to do?”
“Besides,” Frank hesitated, “could you move Louis Martin to a more appropriate room?”,

Silence instantly blended into the air. Frank could imagin friend blinking in astonishment.
“He’s the grandson of a Savior employee. One of our scholarship recipients too. I accidentally got to
know him.”
Frank cleared his throat. He didn’t know what tone to use. His voice
went flat.
“First, I didn’t kick the kitten. I just lifted my leg, but it turned out it
was too weak so it bounced into the air.”
“Secondly, you must not compare human cases with animals. Where is your humanity, hmm?”.
Wela was stunned. Frank Harper has never used so many points to explain one misunderstanding.
“Okay. I will have the child transferred. What is the reason?”
Frank’s face wrinkled again. “The reason….” NôvelDrama.Org content.
For some reason, he hesitated to act on behalf of Savior.
“Just tell them that Emily’s friend takes care of everything. The two times I met her, both times I was
impressed.”
“Who is Emily? Is she his mother? She is beautiful? Wow, Frankie…. Don’t cheat on your lover. It is not
good. I don’t mind if you cheat on

Frank snorted. ‘Louis and Emily are twins.”
“Oh, so… he’s her brother. Okay, I understand. Now you’re interested in children. You’ve changed a lot,
Frankie.”
