Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 470

"Mr. Neil probably thought of his own lost daughter while holding Chloe, feeling a mix of joy and sorrow," Jacob mused, his eyes drifting off as he recalled the moment.

"Holding Chloe, Neil remarked, 'If my daughter hadn't passed away, she'd probably look just like this. This child is the spitting image of the daughter I imagined.'"

"In that moment, he likely saw Chloe as his own. Before leaving, he gifted her a priceless pink emerald pendant, telling her to reach out if she ever faced any trouble."

Leah's eyes widened in surprise. She'd only known that Chloe received a precious gem at birth, assuming it was a gift from one of Jacob’s business partners. She never imagined such an extraordinary tale behind it.

Jacob snapped back to the present, saying, "The Shaw family moved away years ago, and I've lost touch. But now, with our status changed, this is a perfect chance to reconnect. Though the Sartori family won't help us directly, we've forged a connection with them, which boosts our standing."

"With Neil back to honor his ancestors, we should have Chloe visit him, bringing the longevity locket, and ideally be accepted as his goddaughter. Neil’s reputed to be generous, so if I casually mention the Meadows family's struggles, he might step in to help."

Leah cut in, skeptical, "Things might not go as smoothly as you think. For one, Chloe might not agree."
