Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 540

When life knocked her down, it was the spark that kept her going, helping her rise from the depths. Chloe had held her idol close to her heart for years, following her speeches at the UN and her global efforts to help underprivileged orphans. To her, this woman was like a shining beacon, a goddess in her own right.

Chloe's lifelong dream was to meet her idol again, maybe snag an autograph or something. Now, here she was, standing in front of her idol. And within minutes, she was being asked to become her goddaughter. Chloe had to admit, it was all a bit much to take in at once. Even someone as cool-headed as she was felt a bit flustered.

She couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, though. The Shaw family was no ordinary family; they were a name with weight and history. Chloe remembered Connor mentioning some ties between the Shaw family and the Sartori family. Would becoming a goddaughter stir up any trouble between these two prominent families?

But honestly, those thoughts were just background noise. The real kicker was how unreal it felt. Her idol of eighteen years suddenly wanted her as a goddaughter? It was like being wrapped in a surreal bubble, her head spinning.

Ruby noticed Chloe's hesitation and felt a slight pang of disappointment, but she wasn't ready to let go. She had a deep-seated fondness for Chloe, and a voice inside her urged that she would regret not keeping Chloe close. So, she came up with a little scheme, a touch of mischief: “Chloe, remember the emerald pendant Mr. Neil gave you? It’s been in the Shaw family for generations. A fortune teller once said it’s entwined with our family’s fate, and only a Shaw can truly keep it safe, so…”

Chloe was dumbfounded but found it kind of cute. Her idol was spinning a yarn steeped in superstition just to claim her as a goddaughter. Neil even backed it up: “Yeah, when I gave you the pendant, I didn’t know about this. So, you see, you have to be part of the Shaw family now.”
