Ricardo couldn't believe what he was hearing. This hacker claimed to be his son. It was one of the most ridiculous things he had ever heard in his life.
No way, I have no son. He denied.
Why not? I'm sure someone like you has been with a lot of women in the past. Ah, or could it be, you're impotent? Evan replied. Ricardo was at a loss for words. He was completely mocked by this stranger who claimed to be his son. It's too much.
Just tell me what you want. Why are you doing this? Are you in it for the money? He asked, running out of patience.
No, if it's just money, I have plenty. My life is comfortable thanks to my mum working so hard. He replied. What I want is for you to come, get on your knees and apologize to your mum. If she forgives you and gives us a father, then we will let you go. It was one of the most mind-blowing requests Ricardo ever heard in his life. There was a pretty long silence and the children were exchanging gazes with each other.
Why is he so silent? Is he scared of apologizing? Eric asked.
The great Ricardo is actually scared of something like this? So pathetic! Ivy laughed playfully. She was so amused by this scenario.
Let me add more to his pain. Eric pressed a button, and it sent a meme to Ricardo's account. It was a picture of him and the surprised Pikki's face. Which described his situation perfectly. The three babies laughed, they were enjoying it.
He looks so stupid! Eric exclaimed.
I bet he is fuming with anger right now. His face must be as red as a tomato. Ivy playfully added.
Yeah, let's see how long he can keep up with this. Evan concluded.
He claimed himself to be my son and hacked my security system. Just who is he?
This person, he's completely toying with me. Ricardo had enough of it. He shut off his connection with the hacker and slammed the table. His face was completely red with anger and embarrassment.
Ricardo… Diana whispered. She was scared of him when he acted like that. Ricardo picked up his phone and dialed Rico.
Rico, come here immediately! He ordered. Rico, who was doing some work in the security room, immediately rushed over to meet his boss.
Yes, sir? He asked.
Ask the logistics team and finance department to replace every device in the company and in this place as well. Rico was a bit taken aback by the request. To replace absolutely everything would require so much money and effort. It was going to be troublesome for him.
Ricardo, don't you think that's too much? We can just ask them to fix everything. We have the best team, we can surely handle this. She suggested.
No, it's better to just replace everything. Yes, Ricardo didn't want to risk the same mistake again. Just the thought of having his company's system in another person's hand terrified him.
He would make sure they installed the best, latest devices with extra layers of protection so whoever this hacker was couldn't hack them anymore.
Just the thought of someone interfering with his company and business was enough to irritate Ricardo. He had handled a lot of stressful situations in his life before, but nothing was quite like that. After he gave the order, he turned to Rico again.
Send Miss Diana back. He ordered. Without waiting for Diana to reply, he walked out of the room to enter his office suite.
The next morning, Rose drove her aunt to the bus stop.
Aunt, are you sure you still want to leave? There's enough room for you in the penthouse. I can help you process your divorce with Robert if you want to. You can dissociate yourself with that awful family and live with us instead. She asked before unlocking the car's door. If you return to your parents-in-law's house, you'll suffer again. I can't see you getting abused like that again. Even though Rose tried to persuade Esther to stay with them, the older woman refused.
Rose, you're at the top of your career right now. Your children also have a bright future ahead of them. If I stay at your place, they will surely try to find you and cause a commotion. I don't want to drag you down with me. Don't worry, I can handle this. She assured her.
I see you've made up your mind. Okay, if that's what you want. However, I want you to take this. She pulled out a card and gave it to her.
Keep this card and use it to shop for your daily needs. If you ever run out of money, you can just call me and I will transfer more money to the account.
Yes, grand-aunt. You won't have to worry about money anymore from now on! The three children who were coming with them in the back seat agreed.
Esther couldn't believe her luck. Drops of tears gathered around her eyes.
Thank you, Rose. You are so kind and generous. May God bless you with more fortune in the future. She said as she took the card and carefully placed it in her bag.
Take care of yourself, aunt. Stay in contact with us, okay? Esther nodded and left the car.
Once they were separated from each other, Rose took her children to find a kindergarten. It was time for them to get admitted to school. Gloria had given her a recommendation before for a reputable private kindergarten and when Rose and the children saw the building, they knew it was the right one for them.
Rose walked inside to register her children while the babies decided to go to a nearby supermarket to get ice cream. Rose gave them some money and the three of them headed off, holding each other's hands.
While the children were walking, they had a conversation about what happened the previous day.
Brothers, do you really think our dad will get on his knees and apologized to Mum? Ivy asked.
Let's just see what he does. If he still doesn't do it and disappoints mum again, we will just find another dad. Evan replied casually.
Yeah, as long as mum is happy, I don't mind getting sad every day. Eric said as he took a bite out of his ice cream.
Anyone can be our dad if mum wants to! Ivy agreed.
The three of you, stop! As they were enjoying their ice cream, a familiar female voice echoed in the air. The children turned around and saw Diana with another woman approaching them.
Evan quickly stepped forward to protect his younger siblings.
Oh my god! The other woman gasped in disbelief while staring at the triplets,
Diana, they are-
Ivy took a step forward and put on a fake, cut smile
