Judith understanding what Vivienne meant, glanced at Calista and raised an eyebrow. “Oh? So it seems Vivienne did manage to unveil an Emperor Green, thanks to you.”

Calista’s smile was stiff “Judith, you flatter me. I can’t take the credit. It’s just that since Vivienne just returned to Rivenwood, I wanted to help as much as I could.”

Judith gave her a meaningful look and said no more.

Vivienne followed Judith inside, then turned to Thomas. “Take the stone to my room.”

“Yes. Thomas immediately ordered the large stone to be moved to Vivienne’s room.

Paula’s face darkened. She understood what Mila meant.

while Paula might have been upset with Vivienne, it was unbecoming to push her so. After all, it wasn’t easy for Vivienne to secure such a fine piece of stone, and yet Paula still wanted her to hand it over. Regardless of whether it was Vivienne’s good luck or not, the stone, now in her
