Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 469

Leah couldn't forget.

"Wasn't that the engagement gift Lucas and Chloe exchanged when they were kids?"

She remembered that the Moncada family had gifted a beautiful piece of Hetian jade as a token. It was quite valuable and still safely tucked away in her vault.

"Do you know the story behind this locket?"

Leah mused, "Didn't you mention it once? On the day Chloe was born, someone felt a connection with her and gifted her this locket. Who was it again? I can't recall."

"It was Neil."

"Neil? Who's that?"

"You really don't keep up with things, do you? Not even knowing about Neil."

"The Shaw family is one of the big four in Eldridge City, once neck-and-neck with the Sartori family."

Leah thought about it.

The Shaws were once a powerhouse, their influence in the Eldridge Elites outshining the Nagel and Gilbert families, and they were on par with the Sartoris for years. But from that year on, they stepped out of the limelight. Neil and his wife moved overseas, and he shifted his businesses abroad, although some of his sons stayed, while others left.

Jacob only thought of Neil recently after hearing some big news. Neil plans to return with his wife this month for an ancestral visit.

Leah commented, "Ms. Ruby went through hell, and though she survived, she lost her child. Maybe that's why they moved abroad, but what’s Chloe got to do with any of this? Why would Mr. Neil give Chloe such a valuable locket when she was born?"

Jacob explained, "That locket was for his own newborn daughter, but she was stillborn. Mr. Neil was devastated. On the day we took Chloe home, he was in the hallway, just staring at the locket and crying. Then Chloe started crying, catching his attention."

"It's odd. Chloe seemed to have a special bond with him. She was bawling her eyes out, and nothing worked. But when Mr. Neil picked her up, she stopped immediately and even smiled at him."
