"What kind of bribe?"
Claire seemed very interested.
"A jade bracelet. My mom absolutely loves it."
The bracelet was gorgeous, and his mother had already worn it out to show off several times.
She had even worn it to the gala.
Claire had a near-photographic memory. She remembered that Tiffany had indeed worn a bracelet at the gala. It was of excellent quality, a vibrant, flawless green— definitely not cheap.
Yolande's expression was complicated. "My mom really does love collecting jade."
"She adores jewelry, but jade is her absolute favorite. No wonder she couldn't resist the temptation."
Tiffany's background was far inferior to the Churchills.
She was the classic example of an ordinary girl marrying wealth.
Therefore, she loved things that flaunted her status, things that made her look expensive at a single glance.
Perhaps Tiffany felt that jade was a must-have for high-society ladies.
Which was why she bought so much of it.
Unfortunately, her taste was terrible, and she frequently got scammed when buying
it.
Once Bishop found out, he restricted her monthly allowance.
When her cousin-in-law gave her a jade bracelet, Tiffany immediately started running around on Leon's behalf.
"My mom... she doesn't listen to me. Seb will have to talk some sense into her later."
Seb shrugged. "Don't think she'll listen to me either. In the face of jade, even a son is useless."
Claire wasn't surprised by Seb's words. After all, Tiffany was capable of regifting her own daughter's presents to Claire.
Knowing this route was a dead end, Tiffany had also tried to find Sienna Darwin, but Karla had blocked her every time.
Karla's security was airtight. So far, people in the industry only knew that Sienna had returned to Cabinda, but no one knew where she was staying.
Sienna was living in a luxury apartment owned by Karla, the kind of place that required facial recognition just to get in.
Places with that level of privacy weren't cheap, but Sienna had worked extremely hard during her years in the industry. She never stopped working even when injured, so she had saved up quite a bit of money.
Living in this apartment, she paid Karla rent every month.
Karla had originally just wanted to lend her the place, but Sienna
insisted on paying thom
dollars a month in rent.
It was definitely a steal—a friends-and-family discount.
Normally, apartments there went for tens of thousands a month.
"Since my mom can't find Sienna, she's been cursing up a storm at home every day."
Seb didn't mind airing their dirty laundry at all.
Claire was speechless. She really didn't want to hear it.
"Let's go shopping. I brought Seb along today to be our muscle. Schools starting soon,
pick up a few things

"And Claire, you have freshman orientation coming up. You definitely need to stock
up on sunscreen and bug spray."
"Trust me, I've been there. I have plenty of experience."
"Yolande, I don't think I need sunscreen. I already have some. As for bug spray, I don't need that either. I have this."
Claire pulled out a handmade Anti-Mosquito Sachet.
"This works really well."
Yolande's eyes lit up. Not only did the sachet keep bugs away, but it was also beautifully stitched.
"Do you have any more of these? Where did you buy it?"
Wait, Yolande felt like she had seen it somewhere before.
"Is this a limited-edition SUNNY accessory?"
Yolande had shopped at SUNNY before and had seen these sachets.
However, they were limited in stock and given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
She hadn't spent enough at the time to get one.
These Anti-Mosquito Sachets were highly sought after in their social circle.
