"Don't worry. You will be aboard the plane in time," Chloe said with a smile after seeing Scarlett looking down at her watch.
Scarlett smiled and followed her into the cafe.
There were few people inside. Chloe chose a quiet table and ordered two lattes after they were seated.

Of course, Scarlett didn't know whether she had spoken her real thoughts or had pretended to be nice in front of Chris.
Chloe raised her hand to brush her hair, took out a document from her bag, handed it to Scarlett, and said, "Ms.
Reed, you still need to check in later, so | don't want to waste your time. | will make it brief. | believe you must wonder why | brought Chris abroad now. He had lived well in Jakesville, and his life seemed quite good without me. But | want you to know | hadn't met him for more than 30 years because | didn’t know his existence." When Scarlett heard Chloe's words, her hand holding the document slightly froze, and she asked, "You said you didn’t know his existence?" At this time, the waiter put two lattes on their table, and Chloe gave him a tip. When the waiter left, she continued, "I guess you've investigated me. Thirty-four years ago, when | cabroad, my family went bankrupt. | cto Bomsville to seek refuge with my aunt. At that time, | had broken up with Chris' father Zacharie for more than half a year. ” She smiled, "When | was young, | was a little competitive. | broke up with Zacharie because of Jean. When Zacharie went to Figuorett on a business trip, we met by accident. At that time, | just wanted to teach Zacharie a lesson, but | walked myself into trouble. | didn't know | was pregnant until | cabroad, and | couldn't abort it then. | inquired about Zacharie of my friends and found he was still with Jean, so | was terribly angry. | hated both Zacharie and the baby. When | was in the eighth month of pregnancy, | went back to Jakesville. | wanted to give the baby to Old Mr. Shaw after giving birth to it. But when | was giving birth, | regretted it. However, the nurse toldthat the baby had died of oxygen deficit. | didn't believe it at first, but they gavea dead baby. | just finished giving birth, so | didn't have that much energy to verify it. | was in great pain and sadness, so | ignored many things. | stayed in Jakesville for another two months and didn't leave until the baby was buried. | had never gone back to Jakesville since then because | didn't want to face those people and things..." Chloe glanced at Scarlett and continued, "I didn't discover Chris's existence until last year. The Ul Group was founded by my husband and me. Of course, my uncle had helped us a lot. Since my uncle and my aunt passed away, my cousins have all worked in the Ul Group as executives. But greed has no limits. They are not content with their current situation and want to snatch the Ul Group from me. My husband and | have devoted our lives to the UI Group, so | will never give it to those ambitious and ungrateful people. Actually, it was them that found Chris first. | don’t know how they got the information that Zacharie and | have a son named Raymond, who is in his thirties now. They thought | was planning to give the Ul Group to my son, so they sent a lot of people back to Jakesville to deal with Chris." Hearing this, Scarlett understood everything but one point, so she asked, ' Why did the hospital lie to you? Why did they say the child was dead?" Chloe replied, "You should ask Jean about it."
