Chapter 143 The Sarcasm
“Oh, the live broadcast of that grand wedding?”
Kara pricked up her ears. Hugging herself, she prepared her heart.
“I wonder why Frank Harper chose her. Frank is a perfect man, while she is ... way under par. Look, her
appearance is so ordinary. Frank must be ashamed of her.”
“Could it be that Frank proposed because of the twins? He had no choice? Or could it be that Frank is
already captivated by her performance in bed? She is not beautiful, not rich, and not famous. What
other value would she have if not that?"
Kara subconsciously clenched her jaw. Her breathing turned heavy. Before her blood rose any higher,
she continued walking.
“What's wrong with the people here? Why do they like commenting on other people so much? Once
again I hear someone insulting me, I will plug their mouths with their own words," she grumbled with
furrowed eyebrows. However, after a few steps, she took a quick breath.
‘No! I can't be influenced. Today is our happy day. I can't let anyone else ruin it. They are just strangers. I don't need to pay attention to what they say.’ While trying to forget the negative comments, she
approached Frank and the twins.
After leaving the castle, they went to another arena. Not only Louis, but also Emily was amused to see
a lot of cars with face. Even though they were only tall enough to ride on tractors and dancing cars,
their laughter still boomed.
"Daddy, can we come here again when we are 40 inches tall? I want to take a ride at Radiator Springs!”
Louis said as they took a break in a cafe.
"Me too!" Emily exclaimed with equal enthusiasm.
Before Frank had time to reply, Louis was already teasing her. “I think that would be a long time for you
to reach 40 inches, Emily.”
Emily's lips immediately pursed. Her hands were placed on her waist. “You can't say that, Louis. You
can’t be mean to me.”
“I said the truth. Even though you drink more milk lately, you haven't gotten any taller either. It seems
that if you want to get taller quickly, you have to pull your head and legs every day.”
Blinking, Emily started to pout. In just a short time, tears began to gather in her eyes. Kara quickly
reached out her hand, stroking her chubby cheek.
“Little Bee, don't be sad. What Louis said was not true. You will grow taller when you reach the time."
Instead of holding back, Emily's tears spilled. “But I want to get taller quickly. I don't want to be left
alone while Mommy and Daddy ride in the car at Radiator Springs with Louis.”
"Princess," Frank got up from the chair and took Emily into his arms. Wiping her wet cheeks, he spoke
softly, “We won’t leave you alone. If you’re not tall enough, we won’t take the ride.”
"Is it true? But Louis seems impatient.” Emily glanced at her brother who put on an innocent look.
“Okay, I'm sorry. I forgot that today and tomorrow, I can't make Emily cry." Louis nodded helplessly.
Suddenly, Kara folded her hands on the table and looked at her son closely. “Louis, you realize that
your mistake wasn't just making Emily cry, right?” Her tone was gentle, but firm.
Louis' cheeks puffed out as his lips were tucked in. “Does it include body shaming? OK, I'm sorry. I
won't do it again."
Kara nodded sagely then turned to the little girl. "Emily, do you want to forgive your brother?"
Emily rubbed her eyes and nodded. "Yes."
Frank was secretly amazed by the way his lover handled the twins' quarrel. "Kids, since you've
reconciled, you deserve a treat. Would you like some ice cream?"
Louis and Emily looked at each other with sparkling eyes. "Woohoo! I like ice cream!" Louis
immediately slumped down from the chair.
"Frank, they haven't had dinner yet," Kara reminded him.
"It's okay. Let's just buy it for dessert. Do you want some too?"
"Mommy likes blueberry or chocolate flavor," Louis said as he took his father's hand.
Frank smiled. "Then let's buy one for Mommy too."
"Okay!"
With her chin resting on her palm, Kara observed the closeness between Frank and the twins, smiling.
However, not long after, she realized that visitors at other tables were whispering with disdainful
glances at her.
“This world is so unfair. I've been working hard to invest in my appearance, working hard to make a lot
of money. But look at the man I got. Not even a tenth of Frank Harper.”
“Yeah, it's not fair. Her fate is too good in spite of the fact that she just relies on luck and takes
advantage of people's mistakes.”
Kara rolled her eyes. Not wanting to pay more attention, she checked her phone. At that moment, a
message came in from an unknown number.
"Who's this?"
Kara's eyebrows furrowed. After hesitating, she finally clicked on the social media link shared by the
mysterious person. In an instant, hundreds of negative comments about her appeared.
"I feel sorry for Frank Harper. He should be focusing on developing the company, but now he's busy
taking care of children and woman of unknown background."
"I’m even sorrier for the twins. They have to grow with parents who don't sincerely love each other."
"Yeah, it doesn't make sense that Frank would fall for a woman like her. We all know how high the level
and tastes of the Harper family are. He must be forced to lower his standards for the sake of his
children."
Kara quickly closed the page. Her chest was tight and her breathing was heavy. Tears threatened to roll
down her face.
As Kara patted her own shoulder and nodded slowly, her phone rang. The unknown number called.
After glancing at Frank who was still busy with the twins, she received the call. "Who's this?"
A dry laugh immediately answered. "Hello, Miss Martin."
Kara clenched her hands into fists. "Mr. Harper?"
"Yes, who else? Don't expect me to let you call me Grandpa. Never."
Kara looked back to the ice cream booth. Seeing that Frank wasn't paying attention to her, she took a
deep breath. "What do you want?" she whispered with emphasis.

Kara pursed her mouth tightly. Her jaw throbbed for a moment. "I didn't choose him. Frank chose me."
Kara fell silent for a moment. Her expression froze, caught between annoyance and disappointment.
