Chapter 1017: Brandon’s Engagement

Back at home, Jared tidied up the dishes on the table and prepared a bowl of sweet porridge before heading to the bedroom.

Tina caught the scent and asked curiously, "Uncle, what did you make? Why does it smell like strawberries?"

Jared handed her the bowl, letting her take a look.

Tina chuckled when she saw the porridge topped with a layer of strawberries. "How did you come up with this?"

Jared smiled at her. "If I didn't add something you like, were you planning to starve yourself and the little one?"

With her favorite strawberries, Tina had no trouble finishing the porridge.

After wiping her mouth with a tissue, she turned to Jared. "Uncle, what did they say when you went over today?"

Jared took the empty bowl from her hands. "They told us not to rush. With someone like Claudia, pressing too hard might backfire. It's better to observe for a while and wait for the right moment to catch her."

Tina fell silent.

But she had a feeling Claudia wouldn't give up so easily. With ambitions as vast as hers, Claudia would seize any opportunity, no matter how small. When she struck again, it would be even more vicious.

Taking the chance, Tina updated Jared on the situation with the Swanson family. Jared's expression darkened, and he agreed with her assessment. "Given Claudia's ambitions, that small thing wouldn't be her main focus."

"Still, before handing it over to them, it might be worth letting Master take a look." Tina raised an eyebrow. "Do you think there's something wrong with it?"

Jared pressed his lips together. "Master has been investigating Claudia's background. He might recognize something."

Tina nodded. Master wasn't with the Brookes family at the moment, but they could have Jayden take photos of the items and send them to him for review.

Coincidentally, Tina was planning to interrogate Orion Woodwind the next day. If there were any unexpected discoveries, she could pass the information along to Master.
