S31 53. Clever Strategy
“Did Grandma ever come up with such a clever strategy?” Louis asked, whispering..
Diana blinked her eyes. “That is a secret.”
Suddenly, Emily laughed. Her eyes sparkled with admiration. “When I’ve grown up, I want
to be as cool as Grandma Diana. I will be an expert at strategizing and defeating all
opponents.”
“Then, study properly. So later, you can develop strategies more easily.
While Louis and Emily gave a small nod, Jeremy entered the dining room. “Good morning,
Harper Family.”
Everyone looked over. In an instant, the twins’ eyes widened. “Uncle Jeremy!” Their necks
were elongated, their voices were shrill.
Jeremy smiled slightly. “Hello, Louis, Emily.”
“Why did you come so early? Do you want to join us for breakfast?” Emily tilted her head
and scratched her cheek.
“No. I’ve finished breakfast. I came because I had something to discuss with your father.”
When Frank caught Jeremy’s gaze, the curve of his lips twitched. His brows furrowed to
guess whether something had happened last night.

“What do you want to talk about?” Frank motioned for Jeremy to sit in the empty chair
near Diana, facing Abigail.
With a leisurely pace, Jeremy received the signal. He sat up and took a quick breath. “Ava
didn’t get to see her mother last night.”
“Why?” Louis tilted his head forward. Philip leaned against the chair,

making it easier for Louis to see Jeremy.
“Louis,” Kara called softly, “this is an adult business. It’s not time for you to get involved.”
“Remember, Louis,” Emily added, “we promised not to interfere with adults. We’re still
kids.” She emphasized the last word.
Louis put on a pitiful look. “Sorry, but I’m curious. Why didn’t Ava meet her mother? She
must be sad and disappointed.”
Everyone looked back at Jeremy.
“There were three cars following us. I didn’t dare take any risks. Even though Wela said
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe hospital security was tight, the Moore family could have sent someone who could
break through.”
“Isn’t Sean looking after Ava’s mother?” Louis tilted his head. Noticing Kara’s glance, he
quickly put his lips in and covered her mouth with
both hands.
“Sorry, Mommy. I slipped.”
Even so, Frank still explained. “Sean went home as soon as another guard arrived. He said
he wanted to celebrate New Year with his family.”
Louis’ mouth rounded. After a blink, he glanced back at Jeremy. H didn’t ask any
questions. However, he faithfully waited for an explanation.
“Did those three cars follow you all the way home?” Frank inquired.
Jeremy shook his head. “I managed to trick them thanks to Ben’s help.
“Ben Wilson?” Frank raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, I took Ava into the bar. We met him. He then helped us disguise ourselves and
escape. In return, I said I would persuade the twins to

for his perfume.”
“Is that the perfume Ben gave us?” Emily sounded serious even though her voice was very
sweet.
Jeremy nodded. “I heard that there are still few people interested in toddler perfume. The
product isn’t selling well. If you and Louis become the advertising models, I’m sure their
sales will increase drastically. Ben agrees with me.”
The twins exchanged glances. Their lips trembled to hold back a
smile.
“I don’t mind being the model. The perfume that Ben gave me really smells good, and the
ingredients are natural,” Emily nodded while glancing at Kara. Before she could ask, Louis
interrupted.
“Yes! I don’t mind either. I’m ready to help Ben increase his perfume sales. People will
definitely be enchanted by our cool appearance.
Everyone laughed, amazed at Louis’ confidence.
“Can you really pose?” Barbara was amused.
“I can.”
Louis immediately pinched his chin with his index finger and thun His face was slightly
lowered to give a cool impression. In an instal the laughter resounded louder.
“Do you have other pose?” Philip provoked, holding back his
amusement.
Louis folded his arms in front of his chest and raised his chin. His
eyelids lowered slightly.
“Aren’t I cool?” he asked without changing his pose and expression. He didn’t care if
everyone was tickled by his behavior.
“Louis, you look like an arrogant person!” Emily commented between

giggles.
Louis ended his pose. “Haven’t you heard that a model has to be arrogant? You have to
feel that you’re the coolest when you pose. That way, the photos will be good.”
Smiling, Kara stroked Emily’s head. “What about you, Princess? Do you have a signature
pose like Louis?”
Emily shook her head. “I always look beautiful, Mommy. No matter how I pose, I will look
cool.”
Diana laughed when she heard that. “Jeez, Frank. What do you give your kids to have that
much self-confidence?”

Frank shrugged. “Praise and recognition? Oh, don’t forget the support.
“So,” Jeremy interjected gently, “do you let your children use their confidence for Ben’s
company?”
Frank looked at Kara. After getting a nod, he said, “Yes, that’s fine. The twins are just
advertising models, right?”
In an instant, Louis and Emily covered their mouths with both ha Nevertheless, the sound
of laughter still escaped, tickling the hea of the listeners.
“Louis and I got a new job.” Emily’s eyes seemed to sparkle.
“Are we getting paid?” Louis asked, hopefully.
Jeremy nodded. “Of course. I’ll make sure Ben pays you handsomely.”

narrowed his eyes.
“I want to donate a lot, beating the amount the Moore family donated. That way people
will know that we are better.”

Everyone was stunned to hear Louis answer.
“Why do you think that, Little Angel?” Kara shook her head faintly.
“It must be because of the news that Louis read yesterday,” Emily said.
Louis’ lips pursed. “Yes, people think the Moore family is good
because they donate a lot. I want people to know that our family is good too.”
“I am happy if you want to donate, Little Bee,” Kara said softly. “But, you have to
remember. Donating means helping other people, not to show off or be considered good.
When you donate, do it with a sincere heart and straight intentions.”
“Your mother is right. Donating is a charity activity, not a competition. What’s important is
the welfare and happiness of the recipients of the donation, not praise from other parties.
Do you understand, Buddy?”
Louis looked down slightly. His cheeks puffed up a little. “I got it, Daddy. If I want to
donate, I won’t tell anyone else.”
“Did you guys know?” Philip suddenly snapped to attention. “The biggest benefactor in
our country is not the Moore family, but father. The Savior humanitarian mission can run
smoothly beca of your father’s donation.”
Louis and Emily were stunned. Their eyes sparkled with admiration
“Really? Why did we never know? The news isn’t on the internet either.”
“That’s because Daddy kept it a secret,” Kara said with a small smile.
Louis’ eyes suddenly narrowed. “That means the Moore family is donating for a good
name. If they were sincere, they wouldn’t tell anyone.”
Everyone fell silent, agreeing with the conclusion Louis had drawn.

“Speaking of the Moore family, do you have a solution for Ava?” Jeremy raised an eyebrow
at Frank. “I think it would be a bit selfish if we told her to take care of someone else’s
mother while she worries
about her own mother.”
