S31 35. The Uproar
The screen suddenly flashed. Comments from various social media were now rolling in.
“I regret trusting them. I thought Frank Harper and his family really cared about Melanie. Turns out, it
was all a hoax?”
“I had my suspicions from the start. There’s no way Frank Harper would send his mother to such a
place. Someone must have
instigated him. Kara Harper is the culprit.”
“I’m disappointed that Frank chose his wife over his mother. Where does he think he was born?”
The next sentence was blurry. It didn’t pass the censorship. Then
another comment came.
“Kara doesn’t deserve to be side by side with Frank Harper. Since she’s been around, Frank and his
company have been in trouble. We have to remove her from the position at Savior, and if necessary
from her status as Frank’s wife, especially if Melanie Harris is still
languishing in such a place.”
Unable to watch the rest, Kara turned off the screen. “Why is the problem like this?” she muttered
faintly.
At that moment, Frank returned with light steps. “Hey, what are yo guys discussing? It looks really fun.”
However, seeing the crumpled faces before him, his smile faded.”
What is it?”
“Someone slandered Mommy, Daddy. They said Mommy has instigated Daddy to send Grandma
Melanie to the rehabilitation. center,” Louis explained with round eyes.

Frank’s brow furrowed. “Isn’t that problem resolved?”
“Grandma Melanie’s video is circulating. In that video, Grandma Melanie said that she’s not crazy and
asked to be released. Grandma also said that there was an evil woman who trapped her. People think
it’s Mommy!”
Frank’s jaw dropped. “What’s the situation now?”
Philip explained briefly. The more he said, the dimmer Frank’s eyes became. When he finished, the
CEO’s cheerfulness had completely
vanished.

Philip nodded, followed by the others, even the twins.
“Yes, we have to go home now. Daddy has to take care of this problem as soon as possible,” Louis
said firmly.
“Call Jeremy.”
Philip raised an eyebrow. “How? There’s no signal at the inn, and he can’t be up on the tree.”
“He’s got a satellite phone.”
Philip was stunned. “Why didn’t you tell me from the start? No wo he always laughs mockingly every
time I climb a tree,” he grumb before taking the phone that Kara had offered him.

Suddenly, someone came, saying, “You should’ve prepared a satellite phone too, Philip. You know the
terrain better than Jeremy. You grew up there.”
Everyone widened at the voice. When they turned around, Abigail waved beside Jeremy.
“Jeremy, have you heard about my mother?” Frank got straight to the
2/6
point.
“I was the one who told Philip. I was getting suspicious when….” Jeremy glanced at Diana for a
moment. He realized that the old woman would be shocked if she found out that Sophia was the
mastermind.
“When a lot of messages came to my phone. Several investors
criticized us. They even demanded that Kara be removed from Savior. “He skipped the part where
Sophia called her messenger and left the farm first.
“That’s really unfair. Mommy is innocent,” Louis shook his head in disapproval.
Frank looked at his son firmly. “Yes, we all know Mommy is innocent. In a short time, everyone in the
world will know.”
Then, Frank returned his gaze to Jeremy. “Have you packed our things?”
“Yes, Abigail helped me. Everything is ready in the trunk of the car.”
“Sorry if the things are messy. I’m in a hurry. If it turns out there’s something left behind, I can pack it up
later.” Abigail grimaced.
Kara shook her head slightly. “It’s okay, Abi. We are actually very grateful you want to help.”
“Did you put Yemon in my bag, Abi?” Emily furrowed her brows.
“Yes. That’s the most important item that shouldn’t be left, right?”
“And my toy sword?”
Emily elbowed her brother. “It’s not important, Louis.”
“But I just bought it, with my own sayings!” Louis whispered forcefully.
“Relax, guys.” Abigail raised both hands. “I’ve put it in too.”

Frank nodded swiftly. “Good. Then, shall we go now? What time is the flight, Jeremy?” He knew very
well that his older brother had arranged

“Another hour. Kara’s examination is over, right? We have to go to the airport now. I’ve called the car
rental. They don’t mind picking up the car there.”
“What about Mommy’s medicine prescription?” Emily reminded.
Kara stroked her daughter’s cheek. “It’s just a supplement, Little Angel. We can get it at the pharmacy
later.”
Emily stroked her chest and sighed in relief. Meanwhile Diana, her heart was restless. Her breath
began to shorten and her facial
muscles tensed.
“Frank….” The old woman finally spoke. She realized that there was no other time for her to talk than
now.
“Yes?” Frank lowered his hand from Kara, moving his attention to
Diana.
The old woman took a step forward letting Frank get a better look at her. Her hands intertwined with
each other. Her lips were trembl There were too many things she wanted to say. However, whel mouth
opened, what she heard was the last sentence she wante
say.
“See you again. Take care.”
Philip and Barbara sighed heavily. When they were about to
encourage Diana expressing regret, Frank had already nodded and touched her arm.
“Thank you, Grandma. Thank you for letting us stay overnight. And sorry if we disturbed your peace
over the last few days.”

Diana swallowed bitterly. Her chest was tight, but she still tried to
smile. “Yeah.” She was only able to say one word.
A second later, Frank turned to the twins. “Kids, say goodbye to your great-grandmother.”
The two toddlers looked doubtful. However, after elbowing each other, they looked up at Diana.
“Grandma, can we hug you?”
Diana was stunned to hear Emily’s question. The storm in her heart suddenly subsided. “Of course,”
she nodded.
Diana let the twins hug her. Their tiny hands patted lightly on her back.
“See you later, Grandma Diana. Take good care of yourself.” Emily’s voice was a little hoarse.
“Sorry if we upset you. I hope our next meeting will be more enjoyable, “Louis continued.
Diana almost sobbed. Quickly, she filled her lungs with as much air- as possible.
“See you later, Kids.”
She wanted to say more, but her throat was too dry. One more
sentence, her tears would be unbearable.
After the twins let go of the hug, Kara approached. “See you later, Grandma. Take care of your health.”
Kara’s small smile looked warm. However, there was no hand shaking or hug. That made Diana in pain
again.
“If I had welcomed them with open arms, our parting would not have
been so bland. The distance between us would not have been so far
apart,” Diana spoke inwardly before making a nod.

“Yeah, take good care of your womb, hmm?” Diana felt like she just slapped herself. She remembered
very well that she was the one who endangered that innocent soul.
“Sure.”
Kara nodded then took the twins’ hands. There was really no contact between her and Diana. After
saying goodbye to Abigail, they stepped beside Frank. Jeremy followed later, after briefly saying
goodbye.
“Grandma, are you okay?” Philip whispered. Diana still hadn’t taken her eyes off their backs.
At that moment, the twins looked back and waved at her. Emotional outbursts were no longer
inevitable. Covering her mouth with trembling hands, Diana bowed her head deeply, shedding tears.
