"Mother, don't be angry, getting angry will only harm your health, it's not worth it for those trash," Clare comforted Old Mrs. Hipps, "The Sweeney family is just causing trouble for us."
"Well, let's ignore them," Old Mrs. Hipps picked up the jade figurine and examined it closely, "This jade is just of better quality, what does the Sweeney family have that attracted the attention of the young master?"
She didn't miss Tristan examining the jade earlier.
She couldn't see anything different about it.
"He said this craftsmanship... looks familiar?" Clare thought it was customized by someone in a jewelry store following the likeness of him and Mollie.
He never expected it to be carved by Sylvia, as he usually didn't know much about jewelry and gemstones.
So he looked at it for a while, still couldn't see any difference in the jade carving.
Mollie also began to look at the jade carving, but she couldn't see anything.
"I can't see it either, isn't this just a piece of good jade?"
"Aren't all carvings the same? Are there different techniques used when carving?"
While the family was gathered around the jade carving, Louis came to visit.
"Mr. Fox understands these things better, he often frequents those high-end auctions, so he should be able to understand it,"
Old Mrs. Hipps signaled Clare to show the jade carving to Louis.
Louis is the President of the International Piano Association and Sylvia's affordable piano teacher.
They had previously met during a piano competition held in Larro.
This time Louis had heard that the Hipps family had finally returned to Aettosa, especially after hearing that the Sweeney family had come to provoke them.
He was worried, so he came over immediately.
Upon entering, his attention was immediately drawn to the transparent jade carving.
"This jade carving is extraordinary, it's priceless."
Old Mrs. Hipps hesitated for a moment, "We know it's valuable, but..."
What makes it so special? She couldn't see it.
"This is a piece by the renowned master sculptor, Mr. R, so... is this a gift from Sylvia?" Louis glanced at Old Mrs. Hipps with a smile.
Old Mrs. Hipps was surprised, "How did Mr. Fox know? Is Mr. R very famous? What's special about this work?"
"You don't know, Mr. R's works are valued in the billions, at auction starting at 50 million, they often go for over a billion, all because Mr. R's works have won top prizes in numerous carving competitions and Mr. R is very low-key and mysterious, with very limited production."
Louis gazed admiringly at the jade carving, "This carving is really lifelike and full of spirit."
"So, this jade carving that we thought was only worth some money turns out to be so valuable?" Old Mrs. Hipps' face went pale with shock, "Sylvia... how did she manage to spend such a large sum of money without saying a word? One billion, how much could you buy with that? Too extravagant!"
"I dare not casually play with it again, I must place it in a safe place." Mollie also turned pale with shock, "How did Sylvia know Mr. R and bought such an expensive jade?"
"Haha -"
Louis couldn't help but laugh out loud seeing the Hipps family's shocked expressions, "Your daughter Sylvia is very wealthy! This amount of money is nothing to her."
Clare frowned, the Hipps family's business was big, they wouldn't spend money like this.
But Sylvia did...
It suddenly put some pressure on him, this was a billion! How could he repay Sylvia?
"But... I feel like there's something not quite real about this situation." Old Mrs. Hipps shook her head and sighed heavily, "We haven't done anything for Sylvia, instead she always helps us, she's so good to us..."
Louis still had a mysterious smile, "I heard that the lady of the Sweeney family recently asked Mr. R to carve a statue of Lord Sweeney, but Mr. R directly refused. Unexpectedly, he carved this new wedding gift for Mr. Hipps."
"No wonder the two young masters of the Sweeney family didn't look too happy," Clare instantly understood the ins and outs, it seemed like it was a matter of losing face over the jade carving.
"Clare, I didn't expect Sylvia's gift to be so precious, you and Mollie must protect it well, don't bump it or break it," Old Mrs. Hipps instructed, "Contact Sylvia as soon as possible in these two days to thank her. We were blind, we didn't see it at the beginning."
"Now Larro is hit by floods, we have to quickly find a way to contact Sylvia," Louis also saw the news, feeling worried, she was after all his affordable apprentice, he would be saddened if anything happened to her.
"Just staying at home is not a solution, I'd better go back to Larro," Clare thought for a moment, his eyes firm, "Now is a time of crisis, I'll go help Sylvia and bring some supplies, it's better than sitting at home and waiting."
Mollie also wanted to go, but before she could speak, Old Mrs. Hipps said to her, "You stay at home safely, your brothers from your maternal family must be helping in the relief efforts, you being safe is what will make Clare and the others in the rescue team at ease."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Mollie's lovely face, she could only look at Clare with hope, and finally said helplessly, "Okay, I'll help Clare pack."
The Hipps family is in charge of the Air Force, not to mention flying airplanes, even fighter jets.
Clare personally flew the helicopter, loaded with supplies heading towards Larro, and Louis also got on the plane with him.
The two didn't talk much on the way, Clare focused on flying, while Louis was concerned about the situation on the ground.
Many local companies in H Rovirsa were donating supplies, manpower, and funds voluntarily.
