Chapter 974 The surgery room finally finished after half an hour.
At this moment, the Hipps family had already arrived at the Aettosathe Hipps Residence.
Clare looked worriedly at the news on her phone.
"Larro is pouring rain again as soon as we get back. If we had known, we should have brought Sylvia back. She is our Hipps family's child. We need to submit an application to the presidential palace to join the family tree, and we also need to announce to the world that Sylvia is the granddaughter of the Hipps family." "Clare, don't worry for now," Old Mrs. Hipps comforted her.
"Sylvia's safety is more important right now. As for the family tree and those things, we can discuss them later. What matters is Sylvia's safety. Hurry up, contact her and Franklin." "Yes, I'm so anxious I can't think straight," Clare immediately took out her phone to call Sylvia, but couldn't get through.
Failing to reach her made him even more anxious, so he quickly called Franklin, but still couldn't get through.
"It's raining heavily there, and the signal might be bad," Mollie said, her beautiful eyes shimmering with worry. She also contacted Emiliano and the others on Facebook.
"Big brother, how is it at hnow?" "Water is everywhere. It's a good thing you're abroad," Emiliano said, organizing employees in the Gibson family company to donate ssupplies. The Gibson family has always been in the food export business, so there are quite a few newly produced canned goods and convenience foods in the warehouse.
Mollie sent a message to Emiliano, "Are grandpa and everyone else safe? It's so scary. I've seen on the news that many people have been washed away by the water." "Don't worry about home, everything is fine," Emiliano quickly sent her a short video, "I'm organizing everyone in the company to deliver supplies. Let's talk later." Mollie saw a truckload of supplies and immediately understood Emiliano's meaning. "Okay, okay, brother, I'll call grandpa." Meanwhile, Clare still hadn't contacted Sylvia, so he called Brayden, "Mr. Wright, how is Larro now?" "My dad and I brought ssupplies and are on the way," Brayden's voice sounded tired. "Can't you reach Franklin? He might be busy. He's skilled in martial arts, so if you can't reach him, don't worry." "Yeah, you can relax. I'll make sure they contact you," Clare said.

Clare was still worried. He sighed and turned around to see Mollie taking out the engagement gift Sylvia had given them when they got engaged.
It was a lifelike carved jade, usually jade bracelets are made to wear on the wrist.
But this was a translucent green jade, carved into the shape of two figurines, which looked very similar to Lukas, Clare, and Mollie.
It was clearly carved to resemble them.
Such lifelike jade figurines are rare.
Mollie held the jade delicately in her hand and placed it on the table, whispering, "I hope Sylvia and Mr. Maskelyne are safe together. I hope the disaster passes soon." "What a beautiful jade." Just then, the butler hurried in, "Mrs. Hipps, the two from the Sweeney family are here, saying they're here to congratulate the young master's engagement." Old Mrs. Hipps was stunned when she heard it was the Sweeney family. Among the major families in Aettosa, the Sweeney family was one of them.
However, the relationship between the Sweeney family and the Hipps family has never been good, especially since the Sweeney family married the president's daughter, their power has grown stronger.
After the incident last year, the Hipps family had declined somewhat, and the Sweeney family had always looked down on them. Now... they actually cto congratulate? It felt a bit eerie.
"Please cin quickly," Old Mrs. Hipps immediately instructed the servants to make tea.
In just a few minutes, two young men walked into the hall of Old Mrs. Hipps's main house from the gate of the Hipps Residence and then leisurely cto Old Mrs. Hipps's hall.
The leading man had narrow, long eyes, as if smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes, with a hint of coldness. Behind him was a man who looked exactly like him, almost the sheight, sappearance, sskin color...
They were the famous twin sons of the Sweeney family, Tristan Sweeney and Marcelo Sweeney.
"The two young masters have come, really making our Hipps family shine!" Old Mrs. Hipps smiled kindly, "Please, have a seat quickly." "Where's the old man?" Tristan didn't refuse and sat down directly.
Marcelo sat down beside him.
Although they were twins, their personalities were quite different. One was genteel and smiling, the other was gloomy and waiting for an opportunity to strike like a venomous snake.
So the silent Marcelo remained silent.
"He's out playing chess with a few old friends. He won't be back until late," Old Mrs. Hipps still smiled, "Please taste this good green tea brought back from H Rovirsa." They had just arrived home, and the Sweeney family already knew the news, indicating that the Hipps family's whereabouts were all under the control of the Sweeney family.
This made Old Mrs. Hipps feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Tristan smiled, his fox-like eyes squinting, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. With a hint of sarcasm in his voice, he said, "Things from H Rovirsa are always of poor quality. Doesn't the old lady feel the tea is bitter?" "This green tea is indeed produced in H Rovirsa, not found in other countries, so... Mr. Sweeney, you really love joking," Old Mrs. Hipps, though interrupted by a young man, still maintained her composure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh! What's this?" Tristan's gaze suddenly fell on the jade figurine statue that Mollie had placed on the coffee table earlier, and he becinterested. He picked up the two figurines, looked them up and down. "How familiar the craftsmanship of these figurines looks?" After seeing a small letter on the base, Tristan's eyes suddenly revealed a faint coldness.
"Just a piece of jade, nothing worth mentioning," Old Mrs. Hipps said to Mollie when she saw him taking the jade. "This is an engagement gift given to my son by someone else." "In this day and age, even a small piece of jade is worth giving away?" Marcelo, who had been silent, sneered.
Old Mrs. Hipps's face suddenly becvery ugly. Indeed, these two who cwere here to make trouble, not friendly visitors.
"This jade is not something rare, so... it's also not worthy of the attention of the two young masters," Old Mrs. Hipps said to Mollie, "Would you mind putting it away quickly?" Mollie stepped forward to take the figurines from Tristan's hand, but Tristan seemed to deliberately or unintentionally tremble his hand, and the figurines almost fell to the ground. If the jade fell, there would only be one outcome...
Broken into countless pieces.
Unexpectedly, Mollie was quick-eyed and nimble-handed. Just as the figurines were about to hit the ground, she flipped over and extended her arm, catching the figurines firmly.
"Sorry, my daughter-in-law is a lieutenant and has excellent physical fitness," Old Mrs. Hipps said, her heart that had been tight just now suddenly relaxed.
"Hehe-Your physical fitness is really impressive, which opens our eyes," Tristan continued to smile, took out a packet of cash gifts from his clothes, and placed it on the coffee table. "For Mr. Hipps's engagement, this is a little something from us brothers." Marcelo also took out a jar, a black ceramic jar.
He didn't say anything, and Tristan smiled, "Inside this jar is the Yin-Yang water for praying for early offspring. My mother said she specially prayed for it from the temple. My mother has good intentions, Mr. Hipps, don't let my mother down!" What a sinister gift, Yin-Yang water? Ridiculous! The Sweeney family doesn't harm others, just do good! How could they seek blessings? Old Mrs. Hipps secretly sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she didn't show it. "Thank you, Mr. Sweeney, thank you, Lady Sweeney. We will definitely cto thank you personally another day." "No need for thanks." The Sweeney brothers stood up at this time, "We'll take our leave." Old Mrs. Hipps also stood up politely, "Goodbye, goodbye." Clare and Mollie also followed her to escort the two men out.
After leaving the Hipps family's door and getting into the car.
Marcelo said gloomily, "The jade carving is from the master carver Mr. R's hand. They actually have a connection with Mr. R. The Hipps family is indeed deeply rooted and difficult to deal with." "Hehe- I see it clearly, there's no mistake. That jade carving is indeed Mr. R's work, not to mention Mr. R's signature under the carving. A small letter, MR," Tristan's eyes were full of coldness. "When my mother wanted Mr. R to carve a statue of my grandfather, he refused. Now he actually carved Clare and Mollie, it's too much of an insult. It must be the Hipps family pulling strings behind the scenes." Even with only the two of them, Marcelo's words were still few, "Disgusting!" Tristan sneered, "Although Mr. R is powerful, he can still be hired. The most important thing is the Hipps family. Now that the Hipps family has regained control of the Air Force it's a big threat. BefClare was alone, as long as he was eliminated, it would be fine. But now he's about to get married again, with the support of the Gibson family, it's not small!" "Forget it, let's go back and find mother first," Tristan sighed and started the car.
As they left, Old Mrs. Hipps handed the jar to the butler with a gloomy face, "Find a storeroom and put it far away. It makeswant to vomit just looking at it." Who sends a gift and gives a jar? Clare opened the packet of cash gifts. There were only eight hundred dollars inside. "How disgusting," Old Mrs. Hipps said angrily, "Bringing eight hundred dollars to cover and humiliate someone!
