Leah was taken aback for a moment. "How do you know about the Shaw family?"

They had never brought up the Shaw family in front of Lisa before.

Lisa gave a sly grin. "You don't need to worry about how I know. What matters is that I do know. The Shaw family invited us to their dinner party in two days. This is our last and only chance. If Chloe won't help, are you really not going to take me?" "After all, it's been twenty-three years. How could Neil possibly tell whether the child he saw back then was Chloe or me?"

Jacob was just as surprised. He hadn't expected Lisa to know something that happened over two decades ago.

After thinking it over for a bit, Jacob spoke coldly, "It's not as simple as you think. The Shaw family wants to see not just the child from back then but also the emerald pendant Neil gifted. And that pendant is with Chloe now. If she doesn't go, it doesn't mean anything." A smug smile spread across Lisa's face. She pulled out a velvet box from her bag. "Dad, are you talking about this?"

Jacob took the box from her. Inside was a transparent, pink locket. His face was full of shock.

"How did this pink emerald pendant end up with you?"

Hearing this, Leah quickly got up and came closer. "Lisa, what's going on? Did you steal Chloe's locket?"
