Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 72. Shaken Hope
Frank was silent for a moment. “Just focus on protecting yourself and Ava. I can
take care of the rest.”
“Have you contacted Philip?”
“Yes, but I will contact him again. I think it would be better for the twins to study
from home if the situation is like this.”
“What about the other?”
Silence filled the air again. “I'll call them.”
Suddenly, Kara's voice was heard faintly. “Frank....”
Jeremy knew the duration of his call would have to end soon. “Okay, don't
hesitate to contact me if you need help.”
After a brief mumble, Frank lowered his phone. “What's wrong, Kara?” He tried to
stay calm.
Kara handed over her phone. The chat box with Susan was open. “My mother
was watching the news. She said Mrs. Miller had an accident. Her injuries were
serious enough that she had to be rushed to the hospital.”
Seeing Kara's pale face, Frank got up from the chair. Blinking uncertainly, he
grasped her thin arms.
“Please don’t be surprised and don't panic.”
Kara's eyes suddenly widened. Her breath hitched. “What is it?"
“This isn’t about the twins. This is about Ava and Jeremy. They just had a traffic
accident, but no one was seriously injured. Soon they will receive proper
treatment.”
A sigh escaped Kara's mouth quickly. Before her legs gave way, Frank sat her
down in a nearby chair.
“Just calm down, okay?” Frank caressed her face. “Relax. I'll ask Philip to take
the twins home immediately. And since your mother just sent a message, that
means she’s fine. We just need to raise the house security status to alert.”
While catching her breath, Kara gave a limited nod. Her eyes trembled as she
listed the people she was worried about on her mind.
“What about Barbara?”
The curve of Frank's lips suddenly turned away. “Isn't she at home?”
Kara shook her head. “She wanted to surprise Philip. She went to survey the
wedding venue alone. That's the reason she didn't accompany the twins to
school today.”
Frank's breath suddenly hitched, as if something was blocking his throat.
However, he didn’t want to panic. As best as he could, he controlled his lungs.
His hand squeezed Kara's fingers gently.
“Let's try to contact her. Who knows, Barbara has gone home or canceled her
plan. She’s spoiled. How can she stand going anywhere alone?” he whispered.
Kara nodded, hoping Frank's words would come true. However,
seeing his expression when he made the call, her hopes wavered. What's wrong,
Frank?”
Frank lowered the phone and blinked tensely. He couldn't possibly lie. “Her
number is not active.”
Placing a hand on his hip, Frank tried again. He was now standing with his back
to Kara, in case he failed to control his expression.
Finding that Barbara’s number couldn't be reached, Frank took a deep
breath. His eyes closed, his jaw clenched tightly. When he turned around, he
grabbed Kara's phone.
“Let me borrow it for a moment.” Without thinking twice, Frank made
a quick call.
“Mom, how are things over there?" His tone was serious. He even forgot to say
hello.
“Safe. What's wrong, Frank?”
“Is Barbara home?"
Susan was silent for a moment. “No. She left not long after you two
left.”
“How many bodyguards are with her?”
“None. She went alone.”
A huge burden suddenly fell on Frank's shoulders. His breathing
became very heavy. “Okay, when she comes home, can you let me
know?”
fYesa
“And one more thing, please tell the security team to raise the statu
to alert. For the time being, no one comes in and out of the hous
“Okay, Frank. I'll do it right away.”
After thanking Susan, Frank returned the phone to his wife. “Kara, car you help
me contact Auntie? Ask her if the situation is safe, then
repeat my instructions earlier.”
Kara nodded in understanding. While she ran errands, Frank returned to his seat.
Agilely, his fingers fiddled with the computer. However, no matter how many
times he pressed the enter button, the red dot didn’t
appear.
“Stupid girl. I've warned her repeatedly to stay alert. Now she’s wandering
around unsupervised?”
Frank put his hands together in front of his forehead. His eyes were closed, trying
to find a solution.
“Kara, do you know where Barbara's going?”
Kara blinked. “As far as I remember, she mentioned voting on her account. Try
checking her social media. Maybe there are clues there,” Kara explained before
she continued talking to Vivian.
Frank's fingers hit with the keyboard again. Just as Kara finished calling Vivian,
the printer beeped. Frank immediately got up to take
the results.
“Kara, can you help me again? Please find out which venues Barbara has
visited.” He handed her the paper.
Kara nodded. “I'll do it in my room.” She also needed a computer.
However, when she was about to leave, the door opened. A big man
came in carrying a paper bag.
“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Harper
Frank and Kara stared wide eyed. “Sean?”
The former guard nodded with a small curve of his lips. He had indeed been
more expressive since reuniting with his family.
“Sorry to interrupt your work, and sorry that I only have time now to stop by. I feel
bad about turning down the invitation to the twins’ party. Therefore, I came to
bring gifts for them.” He put the bag in the corner of the sofa.
With a relieved smile, Frank approached the man. “Sean, what a coincidence. I
need your help.” He grabbed Sean’s strong arms.
“Help?”
Frank nodded. “You said you wanted to repay my grandfather's kindness, right? I
think this is the right moment for you to do so.”
Sean tilted his head slightly. “What can I do for you?”

Frank's breathing grew heavier. However, he had no other choice but to reveal
the truth. He could imagine Philip's pale face on the other
side.
“But you don’t need to worry. Sean is here. He's willing to help us track down
Barbara. You just take the kids home.”
Philip's heavy sigh was heard. Frank could imagine how red his ey
were.
“Let's switch positions,” Philip said in a low tone.
Frank's eyebrows arched high. “What do you mean? You want to look for
Barbara?"
“Yes. I'm more familiar with her. I can tell it's Barbara just by looking
at her shadow. If you don’t mind, I want to look for Barbara.”
Frank glanced at Sean. “Are you willing to escort my children home? I still have
some things to take care of.”
Sean nodded without the slightest hesitation. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Then, Philip, please be patient. Sean will slide over there.”
