There was silence outside, and the children became even more frightened.


    Brenda''s hand that was holding the kitchen knife was visibly trembling with fear.


    Sadie cautiously approached with a small knife, peering out through the damaged gap.


    Simultaneously, there was an eye outside peering in the same position as her. Both pairs of eyes locked, and they screamed loudly in fright together. "Ah!" The terrified children joined in the screaming.


    "Call the police! Call them now!" Sadie hurriedly searched for her phone to report the incident.


    "Wait, wait! It''s Jorge, the building security guard."


    Brenda carefully looked through the gap to confirm it was indeed Jorge and quickly opened the door.


    "You''re home," Jorge said, putting down his walkie-talkie as he noticed Brenda. "You scared me, I thought something had happened at your ce." "Something did happen just now—"


    "Just now, a thief broke in to steal things, but our family managed to fend them off together," Sadie promptly interrupted Brenda. She did not want anyone to know about the microchip and avoid more trouble. "What? Did you report it?" Jorge asked nervously.


    "I''ll first check if anything was taken before deciding whether to report it." Sadie changed the subject with a smile. "Jorge, can yourpany fix the door?"


    "I think this door needs to be reced with a new one." Jorge inspected the broken door. "We have new doors for $980, including the lock!"


    "$980?" Sadie felt an instant headache upon hearing the cost.


    "Rece it?" Jorge asked. "I can give you an 8% discount."


    "10%!" Brenda negotiated with him. "We are neighbors. Please give us a good discount."


    Seeing the kitchen knife in her hand, Jorge trembled and relented. "Okay, 10% it is."


    "Hurry and get someone toe and rece it now. Otherwise we won''t be able to sleep tonight," Brenda urged.


    "Alright." Jorge used his walkie-talkie to instruct his colleagues toe and rece the door.


    Brenda supervised on the side.


    Sadie cooked a simple dinner for the triplet and took care of their bedtime routine.


    After finishing her busy tasks, Sadie sat on the sofa and held her phone, contemting whether to report the incident or not.


    If she reported it, the police would have to investigate the matter thoroughly, and that devilish man would then know that the child who had identally obtained the microchip was her baby. By then, would he mistakenly think that she had intentionally instigated Nathan to steal the microchip?


    She feared not only losing her job but also facing a theft charge.


    That devilish man was capricious and unpredictable. If she were to be used, she would have no way to defend herself.


    Moreover, once the matter was exposed, the triplets'' identities would be revealed. Would Debt Repayment Male Escorte looking for her to get the children?


    Thinking about these issues, Sadie exited the dialing screen.


    But then, she reconsidered. If she didn''t report it, what would happen if that person in ck came back?


    ''Today was a thrilling yet rtively safe day, but our family can''t handle this kind of disturbance...''


    "They finally finished installing it. Just by changing the door, they earned over $900. This money is so easy to make. If only I had negotiated with them more," Brenda said as she closed the door, turned on the TV, and lowered the volume. It was her habit to tidy up while watching television.

    Upon hearing this news, Brenda quickly grabbed a broom and approached.


    Sadie widened her eyes and turned up the volume, attentively watching the TV.


    On the screen, a man in ck was being arrested by the police and escorted into a car.


    Before the car door closed, the man in ck revealed an evil smirk and softly said, "Take your time retrieving it. If you find it, you win!"
