Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 67. Don’t Let Your Guard Down

Frank blinked, thinking harder. “Maybe we should tighten up Barbara’s security too. There’s the potential for the Moores to think of her as my mother’s weakness.”

“That makes sense.”

“And one more thing,” Frank’s index finger pointed up, “your mother.”

“My mom?” Jeremy’s eyes widened.

Frank put on an innocent look. “You’ve slept with the Moore family’s favorite daughter. Is there any reason for them to let you off the hook?

Jeremy’s eyelids dropped halfway. Blinking lazily, he put his hands in his pockets. “Do you think she dared to tell her parents? That would be the same as committing suicide.”

Frank shrugged. “There’s no harm in being careful. Finnic already knows, and Ava… it looks like she heard. You’re impure, Jer.”

Jeremy shook his head and walked away. “Good night, Frank. I’ll care of everything in the morning.”

Seeing his brother talking without turning around, Frank snorte amusement. He seemed to see his old self in him.

“No wonder he liked to tease me. Turns out it’s fun.”

He liked to secretly stalk his prey, waiting until his target was off guard and then ambushing without warning. Frank didn’t want to be caught off guard.

Ava smiled wryly. “Sorry, Louis. Doctor Wela said the more support my mother feels, the faster she will recover. I want to accompany her and talk to her more often.”

“We’re only going away for a while, Ava. Maybe only two hours.” Emily straightened her index and middle fingers.

“Plus the travel time can be four hours,” Ava smiled crookedly. “Let’s go another time, when my mother is awake.”
