Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 824

The only seriously injured criminal in the incident mysteriously died in prison, leaving the case unresolved. This lingering mystery haunted Ruby for years. Given the Sartori family's influence and wealth, it was puzzling how they could let it slide. While lost in thought, Connor and Chloe arrived. Seeing them again warmed Neil and Ruby's hearts. Their excitement doubled when they learned Chloe was there to hand-deliver wedding invitations.

During dinner, Connor spoke up, "Besides the invitations, we have a favor to ask."

Ruby smiled, "Chloe is like a daughter to me. We're family, so feel free to ask."

Connor explained, "It's a tradition among the Eldridge Elites for a respected elder to comb the bride's hair on her wedding day, symbolizing lifelong happiness. We'd love for you, as Chloe's godmother, to do this honor." Ruby beamed, "I'd be thrilled to comb my goddaughter's hair."

Chloe added with a grin, "We'd love to share in the good fortune of my godparents, who have loved each other all their lives. Connor and I hope to follow in your footsteps." Ruby's heart swelled with joy.

After Chloe and Connor left that evening, Ruby and Neil lay in bed, reflecting.
