The genuis triplets

Chapter 3: The Genius Triplets 

“Mother,” A soft voice screamed from behind. “Ethan and Evan are always finding trouble in school, I thought it's better I tell you before it's too late.” 

Ella ignored the glares coming from her twin brothers and pulled away from them, to avoid being chased. 

Their mother instantly stopped what she was doing and turned to the two boys, who had already wrapped their hands around their heads in shame. 

They were disappointed that Ella had snitched on them. Even after bribing her with chocolate at school to quiet her, she still reported them to their mother. She always did. 

“Now tell me, what exactly happened?” Avery demanded, she didn't want this. She hated it when the triplets caused chaos in school because she knew that even the smallest incident could get them expelled. 

Luckily, they were able to attend such a prestigious, luxurious school on scholarships, and she didn't want them to ruin that opportunity for themselves. 

Rich kids are easily irritated by the poor kids, so she always preached to them never to get on their nerves. A single complaint from a rich kid could get them eliminated from the school. 

“But mother, this Boy is always getting on our nerves!!” Evan, the second triplet, complained bitterly, knowing his mother wouldn't want to hear their explanation before scolding them. 

Avery held both of their hands and smiled at them. 

“Trust me, sweetheart, I know you guys aren't at fault, but sometimes you gotta avoid these people. Next time, don't show them how triggered you are by responding. It's better to walk away.” 

Avery explained to the three of them. So they wouldn't understand why she was always against them even when they are right.  

With a serious gaze, she added, “the next thing Ella will report to me again, you guys will be grounded _ except for her, and I meant it.” Ella's eyes lit up in happiness, as she giggled 

She really hated it when the boys fought. The last time they got into a fight at school, things didn't end up well. They were brutally beaten and had to be taken to the school hospital, which worried their mother, a situation Ella didn't want to see again. 

So, in her mind, she wasn't snitching on them, she was protecting them. 

With grumpy face, the two boys nodded 

“We understand mother.” They chorused in unison. 

“They will never do that again, mother!” Ella said with a sneer and ran off when she saw the boys faces and their attempts to chase her. 

“Be merciful with your sister!” Avery bellowed, as she watched them chase Ella around the house, the little girl seemed to be enjoying herself. 

*****

Avery chuckled as she watched them playing . 

She loved seeing the triplets bonding with each other. 

She couldn't help but feel grateful. grateful to the woman who, twelve years ago, talked sense into her. 

If she had given up on them when they were babies, she would have lived with regret for the rest of her life. 

She would have hated herself even more, knowing she lost the only thing that could have made her happy. 

Twelve years ago, she regretted her situation, but now? she was thankful everything had turned out this way. 

Because if she hadn't been blessed with these amazing triplets, she would have been lonely everyday of her life. But the moment she brought these babies into the world, she knew they would be the only family she would ever have. 

The only family who wouldn't reject her or throw her away like garbage. She thanked the universe for turning her fate into a miracle.

***** 

Avery was watching the evening news with the triplets when Robert Landon’s picture appeared on the screen. 

“We're indebted to the Robert family, especially Mr. Landon, who donated the sum of eighty thousand dollars ($80,000) to our orphanage.” the news anchor announced.  

Avery's body went cold instantly, that Man on the screen was the father of her children, and unfortunately, he had no Idea they existed. 

“Whoa, he must be so filthy rich!” Ethan said, staring at the screen. He admired the man. Trying to memorise his name in his head. 

“Robert Landon!” He muttered slowly. 

“Why does this man look like you, Evan?” Ella jokes, laughing at her own words. 

 Avery flinched and quickly turned off the Television. She didn't want them to find out. She wasn't ready for that conversation. 

“Could he be your lost uncle?” Evan snapped back at her. “Because you look more like him than Ethan and me.” He smirked, hoping to make her feel bad for the joke she had made at his expense. 

“Perhaps we should find this man. I'm sure he will help us.” Ella said slowly, she gasped in shock when she realized she had said it out so loud for everyone to hear. Including her mother. her mother heard her. The look on her mother's face was terrifying. 

“What do you mean?” Avery questioned her, her gaze serious. She didn't like this. She didn't like it when the Triplets sympathised with her because of their situation. 

Ella immediately felt so bad. She saw the disappointment in the boys eyes n

They couldn't hide it. 

“You don't have to worry about the situation of the house, Ella! That is not your place at all!” 

Avery bellowed in angers. 

“But mother, I overheard your conversation with the landlord, when he called to remind you that our house rent was overdue for months. I thought if we could find the man and tell him our problem, he would help us out. That's why I made that suggestion.” 

Ella explained, tears streaming down her face. 

She couldn't face her mother, nor the boys so she ran to her room immediately. She needed to cry it out, hoping she would feel better afterward.

Right now, she felt horrible for making that suggestion. 

Avery sighed deeply as she stared at the boys, who looked just as downcast. 

“I will go talk to her.” As soon as she left, Ethan turned to Evan and whispered, “I have a plan.” which he explains briefly .

“What if we get caught?” Evan flinched at the Idea. He didn't support it. 

“We won't. Have you forgotten we are geniuses?”

Ethan knew he had to Remind his brother who they were, he didn't like the way Evan was reacting. 

Ethan knew Ella would be in support of this plan. She would be glad to help them. 

“I know that, but I'm still scared. You know this man. You know it wouldn't take him minutes to find our location if he figured out we were behind it.” 

Evan was still a little scared. He wouldn't want them to cause any trouble which might burden their mother. 

“If all three of us volunteered to do it together, I'm sure we wouldn't leave any traces. Ethan reassured his brother. 

“I'm sure Robert Landon is too rich to even notice a measly twenty thousand dollars being withdrawn from his account.” 

Ethan shrugged, excited at the Idea. He couldn't wait to tell Ella, she would be just as thrilled as he was. 

He was certain twenty thousand dollars was a small amount of money for a billionaire like Landon. 

Like the saying tower: if you have the opportunity to become rich, take it. Whether illegal or legal.
