Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 853

That evening, Talia Ravenshire showed up at the door again, holding a black velvet box.

Given recent events, Vivienne was thoroughly traumatized whenever she saw Talia carrying a box. Before Talia could even open her mouth, Vivienne immediately feigned an urgent need to do her physical therapy exercises.

Talia laughed out loud and quickly pulled her back.

“Sit down. This isn't for you. It's for your mother.”

Vivienne blinked, looking at Talia in utter confusion.

Although Talia had never said it out loud, Vivienne knew full well that the queen fundamentally looked down on Serena Lowe.

Talia patted her hand. “I heard your mother is getting married. Her taste in men is clearly terrible, but we should still send our congratulations. Think of this as a small token of my well wishes.”

“I don't need it.” Vivienne didn't even hesitate, pushing the box right back.

“Take it.” Talia's tone brooked no argument. “It's true I didn't care for her in the past, but circumstances change. At the end of the day, she did give birth to you.”

Talia truly embodied the concept of loving someone enough to tolerate their baggage.

Vivienne hesitated for a moment before clicking the velvet box open. Inside resting on the satin was a flawless imperial green jadeite bangle.

Something this expensive?!

Vivienne looked at Talia in genuine shock.

When Serena had first moved into the Obsidian Estate, her absolute favorite pastime had been obsessively studying Talia's fashion. Seeing Talia accessorizing her dresses with fine jade, Serena desperately wanted to copy the look. She scoured the luxury malls but couldn't find anything similar, so she commissioned a cheap knockoff.

Every time Serena joined Talia for dinner at the estate, she made sure to wear her fake bangle, desperately trying to bond over their 'shared' taste. Finding the entire charade repulsive, Talia never wore her own bangle again.

Serena had assumed Talia was just acting like a snob, unwilling to wear the same jewelry as her, and was furious about it.

It wasn't until a chance encounter that Serena discovered bangles of that specific imperial green caliber were either locked away in private collections or strictly sold at elite auctions. They were priceless. Walking around with her version, anyone with real money immediately clocked it as a pathetic fake.
