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.

Mila, standing nearby, concealed a smirk. She turned to Paula, feigning confusion. “Why is Vivienne moving the jade to her room? Wasn’t it bought with the Brooks family’s money?”

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

Enraged, she turned to Vivienne. “Vivienne! You’re breaking the rules! You bought the jade with the Brooks family’s money, so it should belong to the family. How can you keep such a precious jade for yourself?”

Vivienne had just returned home, and 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
