Chapter 39


    39. In His Arms


    “Because of that, I take it very seriously that I decide to quit. I will leave and disappear from this city.”


    Kara nodded firmly.”


    Frank snorted lightly. “Are you really stupid or pretending to be innocent? My grandfather is not an


    ordinary man. His men are spread all over this country. Moving to other city is not enough to save


    yourself.”


    Kara took a deep breath. She knew that what Frank said was true. However, only that way, she had a


    chance to secure the twins.


    “I’ve resigned, so my safety is no longer your concern.”


    “Nonsense!” Frank pounded the table. A secondter, he tore Kara’s letter into shreds. “I am your only


    option for survival.”


    Kara sighed. With a tired expression, she took another envelope out of her bag and ced it on the


    table.


    “My business is done. Excuse me.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Kara turned towards the door. However, after a few steps, Fra ad turned her body so that they were


    facing each other.


    “What demon has gotten into you, hmm? Wake up, Kara! You ha future out there.”


    ‘And the twins have no future if they don’t get away from their fath and great-grandfather.”


    Kara smiled wryly at the sound of her heart. Shaking her head firmly, she brushed the CEO’s hand off


    her arm.


    “I’m just a lowly, useless woman. Why do you spend your time. protecting me from your grandfather?


    Wouldn’t your life be easier if I


    rciciono, picast… ut me pack any longer.


    It’s time for me to leave.”


    Frank gritted his teeth. His chest tightened to hold back the feeling that he couldn’t express right now.


    “You saved me once. What harm would it do if I repay you this time?” he whispered, keeping his voice


    from leaving the room.


    “You already paid me back, Sir, when I got stung by the bees. We’re even.”


    Frankughed wryly. “It’s notparable.”


    “Let’s just say it’sparable. So now, we have no rtionship anymore. Excuse me.”


    Before Frank could restrain her, Kara walked out of the room. Her face was a little pale and her heart


    was pounding in pain. She was well aware that once she was free from Frank’s grip, she would have to


    face everything alone. For Louis and Emily’s sake, she had to be a tough and brave mother.


    “Kara!” Frank shouted, hoping the girl would stop.


    However, Kara didn’t listen. She collected several important items from her desk and left. Frank could


    only watch her back disappear from behind the ss with his hands clenched.


    “Sir,” Jeremy called quietly. He was sticking his head out from the gap. of the door. “Do you want me to


    chase her?”


    “No need. Let here here herself. Send 720.000 dors to her


    ount.


    Jeremy stared. “Are you sure, Sir?”


    “Do it! Now!”


    Holding back his hot breath, Frank smiled crookedly. ‘You won’t be


    2/0


    Meanwhile, Kara was patting herself on the shoulder in the elevator. ‘ Good job, Kara. Good job. You’ve


    managed to escape the clutches of that Perverted Demon.’


    However, as she just left the Savior building, her phone vibrated.


    Thinking it was a message from Louis or Emily, Kara checked it casually. But, as she read the


    notification from the bank, her eyes. almost jumped out.


    “What is this? Why did he send me 720.000 dors?”


    Kara started to break out in a cold sweat. Her shoulders rose and fell topensate for her shallow


    breaths. After chuckling in annoyance, her feet returned to the elevator.


    “Do you want to y with me? Or do you want to frame me? You want to throw me in prison on


    charges of embezzlement, huh?”


    Frank didn’t answer when Kara burst in. He pretended to focus on the monitor disying the


    programmingnguage.


    “Frank Harper!”


    Hearing the desperate screech, Frank rubbed his ear. “Since when did you be my grandfather?”


    Kara grimaced in annoyance. Stamping her steps, she approached the CEO and showed him her


    phone screen.


    “Exin what it means!”


    Frank raised an eyebrow and nced. “I don’t understand either. You embezzled thepany’s


    money?”


    Kara sighed heavily. She was really tired. She already tried several times to return the money during


    her walk. However, the transactions always failed.


    “What do you want, Mr. Harper? Why do you enjoy seeing me suffer so much?”


    Seeing Kara’s desperation, the corners of Frank’s lips twitched. “What do I want?”


    Suddenly, he got up from the chair and moved forward towards the girl. Both of his hands were shoved


    in his pockets.


    “As your boss, I have fulfilled my obligation to hand over your sry for three years. Now it is your turn


    to fulfill your obligation.”


    “I don’t want to. I’ve resigned. Why do you keep forcing me? Wouldn’t it be easy for you to find another


    secretary who is better and ssier? Kara argued with her head slightly raised. She didn’t want to


    appear weak.


    Frank shrugged. “I admit that I misjudged you. Of the many


    secretaries who have worked here, it turns out you are the best. So, instead of looking for a new one,


    wouldn’t it be better to keep the existing one, one that has proven to be good and loyal?”


    Kara blinked, not understanding. “I wasn’t loyal. I submitted my resignation.”


    “Yes, you’re loyal. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t still be here,” Frank said with a crooked smile.


    Kara sighed faintly. She looked like a fool now. ‘I shouldn’t have to go back. I wasn’t the one sending


    these funds. Why am I afraid?’


    Without further ado, Kara turned towards the door. However, the CEO held her arm again.


    “Where are you going?”


    “To prove that I’m not a good or loyal secretary. Let me go!”


    Kara jumped, trying to escape. However, Frank’s grip was like a chain


    “Frank Harper! Stop bothering me!”


    With all her strength, Kara tried to flee. However, Frank’s fingers were as stiff as a rock. Desperate, she


    started hitting the shoulder in front. of her.


    “I said let me go! Why do you like to provoke me so much?”


    “That’s because you like to be disobedient. If you were obedient, I wouldn’t have disturbed you.”


    “I will never obey you!”


    Kara started to go crazy. She kept hitting Frank’s shoulder with her fist. However, the man just looked


    up and let out a small sigh. The blow meant nothing to him.


    Suddenly, Kara raised her leg, preparing to kick. Frank finally moved. In an instant, Kara’s body spun


    and locked in his arms.


    “You….”


    Kara kept jumping, but she remained stuck with the CEO. Only after her strength was drained, did she


    stop moving, panting for breath.


    “Okay, I give up. You can let me go now,” she sighed.


    Kara’s voice was so thin and weak. However, the vibrations seeded in shaking a woman who was


    wide-eyed at the door.
