Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 The Boys’ Plan

Emmeline rolled her eyes at him. “Why should you care?”

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have been annoyed at you earlier,” Abel said softly.

Emmeline did not reply. She crouched and continued to tidy up the children’s toys on the floor.

“Let me do it. You should rest for a while,” Abel said.

Emmeline continued to ignore him, though a thought popped up in her head.

The room is a mess, but why are the snacks on the table arranged so properly?

It’s as though the children deliberately put it there in case of emergencies.

Also, the security system of the mansion is very advanced. Why would it suddenly break down?

Could the triplets be behind this?

Half an hour later, the door remained locked.

Abel called Luca again. “Is it fixed?”

Luca sounded frustrated. “No. The technician thought the problem would fix itself after a reboot, but it doesn’t seem to be the case!”

“What the heck is going on?” Abel was beginning to sound annoyed. “Can’t he fix it?”

“Ask him how long it will take!”

“…”

Luca covered the phone and asked the technician, who was busy at work.

The technician was extremely flustered. “I’ll have to reinstall the entire system and reboot it. It’ll take at least another twelve hours.”

Twelve hours!

Luca was shocked. He braced himself before telling that to Abel.
Emmeline rolled her eyes at him. “Why should you care?”

“Twelve hours?” Abel could feel his head spin.

Am I going to stay in this room for the next twelve hours? I still need to work!

“Argh! This is ridiculous!” Abel tossed his phone on the bed.

“Twelve hours?” Emmeline’s face turned pale when she heard that.

She did not want to stay in the same room with Abel for so long!

She could guess that Moon was behind the malfunction, but she did not tell that to Abel.

Moon was a master hacker, and Star must be behind the neatly arranged snacks.

Star was a clean freak like that.

She thought for a while before sending a message to Moon.

“Is this your handiwork?”

Moon was shocked when he saw his mother’s message.

“Sun, Star, Timothy! Mommy thinks that I did it!”

“Whatever you say, don’t admit to it!” Sun and Timothy said.

“But good boys shouldn’t tell lies.”

“Not when they’re told in good faith,” Star said. “If lying means that Daddy and Mommy get to stay together, then you should lie all you want. We’re all behind you.”
