Jade remarked, âIf you stay quiet, people wonât think you canât talk!â
Officer Peralta frowned and asked, âAre you related to these kids mother?â
âYes, but whatâs that got to do with anything?â Jade admitted.
Officer Peralta sneered. âIâm highly suspicious that youâre trying to cheat their mother out of her money
based on what these two said earlier.â
The Shentons were shocked and started explaining with twisted excuses.
Ignoring them, Officer Peralta asked Tyler, âIs your mother really so wealthy that she can buy them a
house and a car?â
Liora blinked innocently and said, âSir, my mommy owns a big company. They tried to take advantage
of her because sheâs rich.â
Tears welled up in Lioraâs eyes as she pouted. âTheyâre really mean, sir. My poor mommy⦠Will you
give us a ride home? Iâm afraid they might do something bad if they get angryâ¦
Lioraâs pitiful and innocent demeanor touched the police officersâ hearts.
âDonât worry, I promise to take you safely to your mother!â
Officer Peralta concluded that the Shentons were pretending to be in need of money and closed
the case.
The police informed Caroline and took the three children back to Bayview Villa.
Caroline rushed home upon hearing the news. She felt relieved when she saw her children
speaking with the police officers in the yard.
Caroline approached them and thanked the officers, âThank you for bringing my children home.â
Officer Peralta smiled and replied, âItâs our duty, no need to mention it. Just keep an eye on the
Shentons. They might harm the kids out of anger.â
Caroline nodded. âIâll be cautious. Thanks for going out of your way.â
After the police officers departed, Caroline led the children upstairs with a stern expression. She
examined them closely in the room. âHow do you plan to explain todayâs incident?â
The triplets sat on the floor with their legs crossed, too afraid to utter a word.
Carolineâs anger flared. âItâs evident that this situation was deliberate on your part. However, I

Tyler clutched his pants tightly and gathered the courage to speak. âIt was my fault, Mommy! I couldnât
stand them taking Axelâs money..
Tyler proceeded to recount the Shentonsâ actions to Caroline.
Caroline turned her gaze toward Axel, her brow furrowing. âIs that what happened, Axel?â
Axel was overwhelmed with guilt, unable to meet her eyes, but he nodded. He felt responsible for
todayâs incident because his siblings wouldnât have tried to defend him if he hadnât paid for the
meal.
Caroline let out a sigh. âAxel did it for all of you. Iâm pleased youâre all sticking together, but I wonât
condone unlawful actions. I hope you can grow up to be children of integrity, alright?â
Tears welled up in Lioraâs eyes. âWeâre sorry for what we did, Mommy. But they were really
unreasonable.â
âThatâs because they lack manners, and we canât stoop to their level. Theyâll face the
consequences sooner or later. Besides, I told you to leave this matter to me, didnât I?â
Tyler realized his mistake and spoke softly. âIâm sorry, Mommy. But I donât want to give them back
12,500 dollars!â
Caroline smiled. âIs it because I gave them the money?â
âYes!â Tyler replied firmly.
âAlright, then return the remaining 12,500 dollars because itâs their hardâearned money.â
Liora chimed in. âBut Mommy, the house and car they asked for are also your hardâearned money.â
Caroline looked at Liora helplessly. âLia, donât you have faith in my abilities?â
