Once back home, Neera put on a stern face and called the triplets over. "Come here, all of you."
The triplets glanced at each other and obediently walked over, lining up in a row.
Harvey looked puzzled and blinked his big eyes at her, "Mommy, what's wrong?"
Neera gently tapped his forehead and said, "How could you easily reveal your abilities in front of an outsider? Didn't Mommy tell you before? Be more discreet."
Neera knew her son better than anyone else. She didn't want others to know how extraordinary her triplets were, nor did she boast about their remarkable talents. Revealing such abilities could attract unwanted attention and pose a potential threat to their safety.
She recalled a past incident when a client found out about Harvey's extraordinary talents and plotted a kidnapping attempt. Though they foiled the plan, it left Neera terrified of what could have happened.
She often reminded her children to keep a low profile and not draw attention to themselves in public.
But today, Harvey had openly displayed his abilities to Jean without any reservations.
Even though Jean had proven to be reliable so far, Neera couldn't help but be cautious.
Harvey understood her concerns but confidently replied, "Mommy, I haven't forgotten. But since you and Uncle Jean are 'married,' even if it's a contract marriage, he's no longer an outsider. You can trust him; he won't take advantage of me."
Neera furrowed her brows, still uncertain. "You trust him so easily after knowing him for such a short time?"
Harvey nodded decisively, "Yes! Knowing someone doesn't depend on how long you've known them. As you always say, Mommy, Uncle Jean has helped us several times without any ulterior motives. I can feel that he may seem cold on the outside, but deep down, he's a good person. Besides, he's so capable and excels at everything. He's much better than me! You can rest assured and stop worrying."
Neera was left speechless by his unwavering faith.
How could she forget? Harvey was right; the duration of knowing someone didn't necessarily determine the level of trust. Jean had been helping them sincerely, and they owed him their gratitude.
Despite Neera's initial concerns, she couldn't deny that Jean was genuinely interested in their family. He cared for them, especially the triplets, which was evident from his actions.
Nonetheless, to be on the safe side, she reminded her children again, "Jean may know, but from now on, you must not show off your abilities in front of anyone else. Learn to hide your talents and act naive, understand?"
The triplets immediately agreed, saying, "Okay, Mommy!"
Sammy, in particular, raised a little hand and vowed, "Mommy, don't worry, I'll keep my talents a secret even from Uncle Jean. I'll be a happy little fool!"
Neera couldn't help but feel satisfied with Sammy's response.
Little did she know that Sammy said that because he feared that Jean might guess it was him who attacked the Beauvort's Network before.
He worried that if his abilities were exposed, his Daddy's intelligence would inevitably lead him to the truth. And then, who knows, maybe he would end up getting a spanking from Daddy…
After delivering these instructions, Neera decided not to dwell on the matter. She hoped Jean wouldn't take the triplets' words to heart.
However, her plan seemed to have backfired.
Jean not only took the words to heart but also instructed Ian, "Find out more about Adriana's business ventures abroad."
Considering the current state of the Garcia family's development in Kingsview, it was already impressive for Adriana to make ends meet abroad. But according to what the triplets had said, it seemed that she was doing very well overseas.
Just the fact that she had Harvey invest in several companies required a considerable amount of funds.
For Adriana to use this money to let a child practice with it meant that it wasn't a significant amount to her.
Ian was curious too, so he immediately went to investigate...
