Sensing the fear in the air, Frank spoke up. “You have misunderstood, Grandpa.”
“Shut up!”
Frank was pierced by his grandfather’s sharp gaze. Pressing his lips together, he clenched his fists. He really didn’t expect that his prank could bring about such a big disaster.
“You! Why do you dare attack my grandson?”
Kara’s lips trembled violently. Her hands were linked in front of her stomach, protecting and squeezing each other. She didn’t have time to think about her messy hair anymore.
“Sorry, Sir. I didn’t mean to hurt your grandson. I was upset because he snatched my chocolate and-”
“Is that a good reason to attack him?” Rowan interrupted sarcastically.
“It is not like that. My hand accidentally hit his face. Then he pulled my hair.”
“And you fought back?”
Rowan’s voice broke Kara’s will to defend herself. Her lips were trembling without words as Rowan turned to Frank.
“Have you forgotten what I taught you? An eye for an eye. Why did. you pull her hair instead of slapping her?”
Frank sighed faintly. “Please don’t exaggerate, Grandpa. She didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Sean!” Rowan exclaimed, ignoring his grandson’s words. “Find a new
The men in the line furrowed their eyebrows together. They were well aware that the future of all employees who left the Savior Group
would not be bright, let alone … failed bodyguards like them.
Knowing their anxiety, Kara felt guilty. After taking a few breaths, she dared to take a step forward.
“Sorry, Sir. This is my mistake. I am the one who has to bear it. If anyone should be fired, it would be me.”
The bodyguards glanced at each other with wide eyes. They didn’t know that Miss Secretary had such guts.
However, Frank thought Kara was stupid. He now looked at the girl while shaking his head in disbelief. “Kara, don’t add to the problem.
Hearing that whisper, Rowan pressed his forehead with eyebrows. He seemed to have found the answer to his surprise yesterday.
“Your hand could land on Frank’s face because these guards were not good at guarding him. Are you sure you are willing to bear their mistakes?”
Kara swallowed hard. She remembered the twins. Louis and Emily would definitely be very sad if something bad happened to her.
However, she also didn’t want to be seen as a bad luck to the guards’ families. The twins could suffer the consequences if she didn’t take
responsibility.
“Sure, Sir.”
Curling up the corners of his lips, Rowan nodded. “Sean!”
The well-built assistant came to his master’s side.
“Give this insolent girl ten slaps!”
Frank and his guards gasped. Sean was no ordinary assistant. He
was the most feared former special force member. He could swim across a strait, defeat a hundred enemy troops single-handedly, and break ten bricks in one blow.
“Wait, Grandpa! Kara didn’t mean to harm me. This problem doesn’t need to be exaggerated,” Frank said panicked.
“She herself has agreed. One slap will save one guard, and the tenth will save herself,” Rowan said lightly before turning to the side. “Sean!”
The assistant stepped in front of Kara and opened his watch. His gaze was cold and his expression flat. “Tell me when you’re ready.”
Even though her heart was beating fast, Kara tried not to lower her chin. “I am ready.”
“Wait a minute….”
