12. Judging Frank
“How about you? Do you like that guy?” Susan looked at Louis. seriously.
“I can’t decide yet. He haven’t achieved all my points.”
Susan’s eyes suddenly narrowed. “What points?”
“I can only judge him if he has fulfilled three points. First, he has to break up with his
girlfriend. Second, he has to prove that he and Mommy love each other. Third, he has to
prove that his treatment of me and Emily is sincere.”
Susan blinked in amazement. Her grandson was indeed full of surprises. “Then let’s wait
until those points are tested.”
Louis puffed out his cheeks then nodded. He understood that the
problem could not be resolved quickly. However, his furrowed brows still lingered.
“Grandma, may I ask again?”
Susan, who was just about to put down the comb, suddenly stopped
her movements. “Yes?”
“Does Grandma know Finnic?”
The shattering of glass rang in Susan’s ears. Whether it was a fragment of heart or
memory, she wasn’t sure. It was the name she hated the most without Kara knowing.
“Why do you ask him, Louis?” Susan inquired, trying to restrain her facial expressions so
as not to convey her feelings.
“We met him at a picnic on the beach. His name is Finnic Miller. I think Mommy knows him,
but their relationship is suspicious. When
seen a ghost.”

Susan swallowed, but her mouth was too dry. Her voice threatened to crack. “Then, what
did you do? You guys chatting?”
“I think it’s not chatting, but arguing. Grandma knows why we can meet him? That’s
because his ball destroyed our sand castle. He didn’t want to apologize sincerely, so I
didn’t return the ball. He even made fun of my hand. Luckily, Mister Harper stood up for
us.”
Susan’s eyes widened. “Frank is defending you?”

“Yes!” Louis nodded firmly. “He bravely rebuked Finnic. But then, Mommy came. She asked
us to forget Finnic’s mistake and return the ball. Of course we refused. Justice must be
served.”
Suddenly, silence filled the air. Susan’s gaze wandered. “Kara met him again?” she sighed
faintly.
“Grandma knows what happened next? He insulted Mommy. He said that Mommy was
heartbroken and moved here to find a new man. I really don’t know exactly what it means.
But I know that’s evil talk!”
Louis’ cheeks puffed up. His eyes were slightly angled upwards. Finnic’s reflection had
annoyed him.
Meanwhile, Susan froze. The questions in her mind were too ma answer, until she chose
the most appropriate for Louis. “Then, happened after that?”
“I don’t know,” Louis shrugged. “Because Emily and I were being nic Mister Harper invited
us to go on a helicopter ride. He asked us to report to Jeremy. So Emily and I went first.”
Suddenly, Louis tilted his head forward. Raising a hand to his mouth, he whispered, “But

A second later, Louis’ eyes grew rounder. His voice became even more enthusiastic. “And
when they came back to us, Finnic could only look at them with a frown. He must have
been defeated by Mister Harper.”
After finishing the report, the toddler smiled proudly. His eyes. sparkled with anticipation.
However, the grandmother remained silent.
‘Is that what made Kara melt? Frank already defended her from that guy?’-
After one long breath, Susan curled up her lips and stroked Louis’ cheek. “Thank you, My
Grandson. Your information is very valuable. Looks like you have a knack for intelligence.”
Louis’ laughter suddenly boomed. “I’m talented at anything, Grandma.”
Susan laughed too. Feeling excited, she showered her grandson with kisses. Then, holding
hands, they went to Emily’s room.
Unfortunately, before they arrived, their joy faded. Emily’s screams shook their hearts.
“Mommy, I don’t want needle in my hands. Open it…!”
Kara quickly hugged her and stroked her back. “Honey, this is not a needle, but an IV. You
need it to get healthy quickly.”
“But I’m healthy. Open it…!” Emily asked, punctuated by gasping breaths. Her hand was
raised in front of the mother’s eyes, hoping that the tube would be released quickly.
At that moment, Susan and Louis entered the room. They immediately looked at Emily
with a look of pity.
“Grandma…. Please open it….” The little girl’s tears were getting

Kara and Susan looked at each other. After reading the tremors in each other’s eyes, the
two nodded simultaneously.
“Okay, but don’t cry anymore. Lie quietly.”
While Kara took the plaster and alcohol swab, Susan sat on the edge of the bed,
comforting her granddaughter. Louis watched Kara’s movements closely. In just a short
time, the IV tube was removed and Emily’s hands were free.
Suddenly, a voice came from the door. “You removed the IV?”
Everyone turned their heads together, including Emily. As soon as she saw the figure of a
man in a neat suit, she flinched.
“Grandma, why is he here?”
As Emily’s tears flowed again, Frank stopped his steps. While breathing awkwardly, he

Instead of answering, Emily shook her head. “Grandma, send him away. I don’t want him
here,” she whined.
Frank’s heart cracked a thousand times. His chest was tight and lips were blue. Without
realizing it, tears welled up in his eyes. ” Princess…, are you still angry with me?”
“Go away!” Emily screamed while throwing her fists. “I don’t want talk to you anymore!”
A quick sigh escaped Frank’s mouth. He wanted to step forward, but common sense forced
him back. Not having the heart to see Emily struggle because of his presence, he finally
nodded.
“Okay, I’ll go out, but please don’t cry anymore.” With a stiff expression and tightly

Kara intended to chase, but Susan held her hand. “Stay here with Emily. Let me talk to
him.”
“But-”
Susan nodded seriously. “Just trust me.” After putting Kara in her place, she went after the
CEO.
In his study, Frank looked down with both hands resting on the table. His shoulders rose
and fell to match his breath. After several failed
attempts to relieve the tightness, he dropped his fist on that thick
board.
“Is this my punishment? Is this my punishment?!”
A muffled groan followed at the end of that despair. Susan, who initially wanted to knock,
pushed the door open wider.
“Young Master Harper, can I have a word with you?”
Frank gasped and turned around. Susan could now clearly see the
wrinkled face full of tears.
“Mrs. Martin?” Quickly, Frank looked down and wiped his face with a
handkerchief.
