“Not really. I’ve only met Emily once. She accidentally….” Frank stopped talking. He couldn’t admit that he had been hit by a toddler. Rowan would definitely fire all the guards and replace them with a more “competent” team.

“She accidentally saw me and whined for a hug. She seems to really admire me.” Frank shrugged as if it was no big deal to him.

Rowan pressed his lips with his chin. After a faint nod, he muttered, “I gave them scholarships and plan to invite them as special guests at the inauguration ceremony. Their courage and determination are worthy of being passed on to other children.”

“Yes, I agree,” Frank nodded slightly.

“Do you like those kids?”

Frank was pensive. Since his parents died, no one cared about his preferences for things. The grandfather didn’t even know what hist favorite color or food was. But now, the grandfather asked that?

“I don’t like children. They are noisy and spoiled. Too much trouble.”

“But you need at least one son to continue the company, to bring our family’s great name. Therefore, don’t postpone your wedding with Isabela any longer. I want to cradle your heir next year.’

The air in Frank’s lungs suddenly became heavy. His head was slightly bowed and his lips were curved downwards. For some reason, he felt very bored and tired.

“Why does Grandpa keep urging me to marry her?” he muttered spontaneously.

“Because she’s your fiancee. Does it make sense to tell you to marry

Something suddenly caught in Frank’s throat. He tried to swallow it, but it came out with a heavy sigh.

“Actually, I still have doubts about Isabela. She only has beauty and fame, but she has nothing in her brain.”

Rowan gasped. He couldn’t believe what his ears caught. As soon as he came back to his senses, he hit the table. “Nonsense. Isabela has several titles too, just like you.” His bulging eyes started to turn red.

However, Frank replied lightly, “By bribery. My detective couldn’t possibly be wrong in investigating her. Besidès, her character is also not suitable to be a mother to my children.”

“Frank Harper, watch your mouth! Isabela is the first daughter of the Hall family, a famous model who is known to many people. Young businessmen are vying to get close to her. Is there another woman who is more worthy to you?”

Frank looked away briefly. The image of Kara just flashed through his mind. Maybe that was the reason he became irrational and failed to withstand honesty.

“I have tried many times to love Isabela, but to no avail. My heart is not moved by her at all.”

Once again, the old man pounded the table. “Hell with love. What you need is a wife who can make Harper’s name bigger and bring profits to the company. Imagine if the Hall family had officially joined us! We would be invincible.”

Frank laughed dismissively. He was standing with both hands stuffed in his pockets.

“Isn’t our business at the forefront? Not just in this country, but

throughout the world? We’re still invincible even without marriage. In

family was able to reap the profits from Savior.”

“Don’t argue with me!”

The shout was too loud. Rowan seemed to have just squeezed his own heart. He spontaneously clutched his chest.

Frank widened his eyes. However, seeing that his grandfather was able to catch his breath again, he held back his movements.

“Whether you like it or not,” Rowan pointed his finger at his grandson,” you have to marry Isabela next month!”

A second later, the old man turned to his assistant. “Sean, order Isabela to come back here. I don’t care if she’s in Paris or Milan, no fashion show will accept her again if she doesn’t immediately prepare to get married.”

“Yes, Sir.”

As Sean left, the room fell silent. Frank could only grit his teeth. looking at his grandfather. He had endured this turmoil for a long time. Whether because of Kara’s presence or boredom, he finally let go of all his doubts. Now, he was dizzy with the consequences.

“Come to your senses, My Grandson. You will not be able to match your late father with that ego.”

Frank snorted. Those words again-the sentence he hated the most.

“Please stop comparing me to anyone else, Grandpa. I know Dad was gone because of me. But it doesn’t mean I have to dedicate my life to replacing him.”

Rowan was stunned. His eyeballs trembled to match the rumbling in his chest. Frank had never made his blood pressure that high since he was an adult.

“You dare to fight back? What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m not fighting back, but expressing thoughts that I’ve been holding. in too long,” Frank said stiffly. He himself was confused. Where did he get that much courage? Did Kara possess him?

“Frank Harper!”

Once again, Rowan held his chest. After a few breaths, he stretched out his hand to Sean who had just passed through the door. The assistant hurriedly put away the phone and then helped his master up. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I will take care of your wedding. You don’t need to prepare anything other than your mentality and maturity.”

A second later, Rowan looked away and left the room. His heart could be in danger if he stayed there any longer.

Frank could only plop down on the sofa. His eyes were slightly red. His mouth was open without a word. A faint sigh wafted from there. He still couldn’t believe what had just happened.

“This is what it feels like to be disobedient?”

After a moment of silence, the curve of his bitter lips turned into laughter.

“No wonder that stupid girl likes to do it. It felt like freefalling from a plane.”

For a few moments, Frank enjoyed the throbbing sensation in his chest. However, when he realized that Kara had poisoned his mind, his laughter immediately stopped. His proud expression turned angry.

“No, this is not good. Why am I imitating that stupid secretary’s behavior? Grandpa will push me harder to marry Isabela.”

Frank placed his elbows on knees. His brows were furrowed, and his head was bowed.

Four and half years ago, he quietly paved Isabela’s path to the international fashion runway. The girl was too excited when she received the invitation and immediately left for Paris. She even forgot about their anniversary celebration. It put Frank in a burning night with Kara.

However, Frank considered his plan successful. The model no longer interfered with his daily life. But now, what else could he do?

“Excuse me, Sir.”

Frank turned towards the door. Lunch had arrived. However, instead of being happy, his brows furrowed deeper.

“You bought it at the north pole?”

“Sorry, Sir. The queue is long. The restaurant waiter didn’t give me short access because I didn’t have your business card with me.”

Frank was silent for a moment. He just remembered that he forgot to leave the card.

However, instead of admitting his mistake, he raised his eyebro and pointed at the bag his employee was carrying. “Where’s my tagliolini pasta? I’m hungry.”

With shaking hands, the female staff placed one of the boxes on the

table.

“What’s that?” Frank studied the remaining boxes in the bag with narrowed eyes.

“My lunch, Sir,” she answered timidly. She had never tasted food at that luxury restaurant. So, she decided to buy the cheapest menu- pasta with shrimp paste.

Frank spontaneously snorted. “That’s the real reason.”

The staff looked down. “Sorry, Sir.” She was prepared to receive a

Unexpectedly, Frank just waved his hand. “Get out.” He was hungry and was too lazy to grumble. The female staff rushed out of the

room.

“It turns out there is someone stupider than that secretary?” Frank opened the box in front of him. “Tsk, he even gave me her lunch?”

However, the aroma was enticing and Frank’s stomach was already rumbling. After making sure there were no shrimps, he ate it. He didn’t realize that since the second bite, his neck had started to become red and itchy.
