Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 24. Set a Strategy

“I’m a little curious,” Jeremy folded his arms in detective-style. “How could Sophia ask you two to talk?”

“She said she overheard Auntie’s words.”

“Me?” Barbara stared wide eyed, pointing at herself.

Louis nodded. “About Auntie’s regret if Philip fails to claim his prize. Sophia thinks that if our relationship with Grandma is bad, Philip’s mission could be hampered. Auntie will be sad if that happens.”

“Sophia also said that she could help us if she knew more clearly about the mission,” Emily added.

Frank took a deep breath, and so did the people by his side.

“Everything is clear now. She must have deliberately provoked the children to talk so that Grandma would misunderstand,” Philip said in

a low tone.

“Does it mean Sophia is evil? She’s our enemy?” Emily pressed her forehead with her eyebrows.

Louis’ cheeks puffed up. “She claimed to be a friend, but it turns out, she trapped us. I should have not trusted her. Should we give her a lesson, Daddy?”

“Louis?” Kara stroked her son’s head. “Your words are not nice.”

Louis bit his lip. “Sorry, Mommy. But I’m annoyed.”

“So, what should we do, Daddy?” Emily blinked tensely.

“And what about Grandma? She has kicked Philip out. Can we still stay here?” Louis pointed his finger at the floor.

Frank considered it for a moment. Then, he turned slightly. “Philip, do you want to leave now?”

Philip shook his head. “I don’t want to leave before clearing up her misunderstanding.”

Frank nodded. “Kids, can you neglect this problem for a while? Let’s just say, you don’t know anything.”

“Is that mean we still have to be friends with Sophia? But she’s mean, Daddy.” Louis widened his eyes.

“You don’t have to be close friends. Just saying hello or having a brief chat is fine. The important thing is that she doesn’t suspect that her crime has been revealed.”

“Sophia has promised to teach Louis to ride when the equipment arrives. Should Louis cancel that plan?”
