S21 75. Take Action
“Auntie will definitely be very happy after watching this. Trust me,” Louis handed the
tablet to Barbara’s left hand.
“Is that so?” Barbara tried to sound enthusiastic.
“Yes, you will be so happy you won’t be able to sleep,” Emily said, confidently. A second
later, she raised her eyebrows at Louis. “Can we start now?”
Louis nodded firmly. “Yes! Let the video starts!” He clicked the play
button.
Two female characters appeared on the screen. They were standing in front of a fence.
One had pink hair, the other had a bun. Each of them was carrying a suitcase.
In an instant, Barbara’s eyes filled with tears again. Melanie was still very healthy at that
time. She remembered how excited her mother was when she dressed up before leaving
for the Harper residence.
When other characters appeared, Barbara’s mood changed. V slowly enveloped her and
she began to smile.
“Look, Auntie. Isn’t my character very handsome?” Louis poi the image of himself.
“Louis cheated, Auntie. He made his character the most perfect. Daddy wasn’t made that
good.”
“I made it according to the fact. I am indeed more handsome t Daddy. But look! You are
beautiful too, Emily.”
The little girl’s eyes narrowed. “But you made my cheeks too big. I told you to make them
smaller. Why haven’t you changed them ye

Louis smiled mischievously. “Your cheeks are chubby, Emily.”
“But not this chubby!”
Listening to the chatter of the two toddlers, Barbara finally let out a laugh. Kara, who was
watching through binoculars from her bedroom window, quickly brought her phone to her
ears.
“Frank? Barbara looks happy. I’m sure this will work. Philip, get ready!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing the voice from Frank’s phone, Philip took a deep breath. One of his hands
clutched his chest. “Oh, sir, did you feel this tense when you proposed to Madam?”
Smiling faintly, Frank patted Philip on the shoulder. “That sensation won’t happen twice.
Enjoy it.”
Philip exhaled through his mouth. The servants stifled laughter seeing that, except Nora.
The young servant was busy swiping her phone with an anxious expression.
“Oh, no. It’s bad. This is bad!”
Everyone turned to look at her. “What’s wrong, Nora?”
Nora showed Frank her phone. “The news about Mrs. Melanie is spreading, Sir. Many
people are attacking Miss Harris’ accou also cornering you.”
Philip spontaneously grabbed Nora’s phone. He read a few comments, and his heart grew
hot. “Damn! If Barbara reads it….” Philip couldn’t finish his sentence.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Kara’s voice sounded anxio
Before Frank had time to explain, his phone vibrated. Jeremy’s nam flashed on the screen.
He could not help but let out a heavy sigh.
“Honey, you should come here. I think we need to rework the plan
have to hang up on you now. Jeremy calls.”
+25 BONUS
After Kara said yes, Frank answered his brother. “What’s wrong, Jer?”
“Have you seen the news? Your mother’s case has spread. Many people are accusing you
of abandoning her. Some clients and investors are starting to question you. They are
criticizing you and threatening to cancel our cooperations.”
Frank’s jaw clenched tightly. The servants now did not dare to look at
him.
Not hearing an answer, Jeremy asked again, “What should I reply?”
Frank pondered a little longer.
“It’s the weekend. There’s still some time to get things straightened out. There’s no need
to rush. I’ll make the clarification as clear as possible later. Now, I have other things to
take care of.”
Jeremy let out a faint sigh. “Okay. Just let me know when you want to
take action.”
“Thanks, Jeremy.”
After hanging up, Frank looked at Barbara in the distance. “Is s her phone?”
“Yes,” Kara answered, as she came over breathlessly. “What happened?”
Frank glanced at his wife. His furrowed brows loosened slightly. Mom’s case is spreading.
People are attacking us, including Barb
After Frank explained the details, Kara gasped. “Should I distract Barbara? Keep her from
checking social media?”
“No. Let me do it.” Philip handed the bouquet of flowers to a serva and then began taking
off the tuxedo he had bought special for t proposal.

Meanwhile, the animation had run halfway. Barbara seemed to enjoy it. Only when she
watched the moment Philip peeked at her window did she gasp.
“Wait,” Barbara tapped the screen twice, “how do you guys know this? Philip told you?”
“Louis accidentally saw it, Auntie,” Emily said, giggling.
Barbara sighed in disbelief. Her eyes fell on Louis.
However, before she had time to grumble, the phone on her lap rang repeatedly. Dozens
of messages flooded the chat box. Not only Barbara, but the twins also furrowed their
brows.
“What is this?” Barbara sighed.
Louis blinked rapidly. He remembered his mission.
“Auntie, we haven’t finished watching the animation yet!” He grabbed Barbara’s arm,
thwarting her intention to open the message.
“Yeah, how about we finish it first?” Emily quickly pressed the play
button.
However, Barbara’s phone kept ringing. Seeing Hailey’s name, B could no longer ignore it.
“Please hold this,” she handed the tablet to Louis. The twins. only gape at Barbara being
distracted by the call.
“Hello?”
“Hey, why didn’t you read my message? You’re scared, hmm?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBarbara’s eyebrows moved down. “Why should I be afraid? I just haven’t had the time.”
Hailey snorted. “No need to pretend anymore, Barbara. Everyone already knows. Now be
honest, where are you now? Are you still livin

at your brother’s house?”
“Yes-”
“How could you?” Hailey mocked, making Barbara’s face even more wrinkled. “Your
mother is going through difficult times, but you are being selfish. How could you choose
your rich brother even though he’s the one who sent your mother to a mental hospital?”
Barbara’s jaw dropped. Lightning seemed to strike every cell in her body.
“Hey, why are you silent? You’re afraid to face the truth, huh? You are too greedy, Barbara.
You think that by siding with Frank Harper, your future will be bright? You can keep living
in luxury, forgetting about your mother’s suffering in that cage?”
Hailey’s mocking laughter was heard again. “You’re very wrong! Soon, your brother’s
company will collapse. Who would want to buy the products of a disobedient son? People
are afraid of being splashed with his sins.”
Barbara sighed in disbelief. Her head shook in disapproval. “No
not true.”
“Gosh! You’re still defending your brother?”
Hailey stopped laughing. Her tone was cynical. “You’ve been b by wealth, huh? Come to
your senses, Barbara. You should save mother, not to have fun alone. Or are you afraid of
being put in a mental hospital too?”
Suddenly, Hailey took a quick breath Barbara could imagine her annoying expression.
“Could it be… your mother is really crazy? You’re the daughter of mad woman? Can’t that
kind of disease be hereditary? Gosh! Wil have a crazy friend too?”

Barbara clutched her phone. Her eyes were burning red. “Shut up! I don’t need all that
bullshit!”
The twins gasped. They were stunned to see their surroundings- Barbara burning with
anger, the neglected tablet, and Philip running without a tuxedo or bouquet of flowers.
