Chloe said, "I'm not doing this because of the emerald pendant. It's because I genuinely like you all, and I feel this is destiny at work." Hearing this, Ruby felt a strange lump in her throat. She wasn't the type to cry, but something about this moment made her eyes well up.
Jacob, witnessing the scene, was over the moon. He had thought his dream of connecting with the Shaw family was gone for good. But just when he was at his lowest, things took a turn for the better. Chloe truly was his amazing daughter, always swooping in to save the day.
"Alright, Chloe, go on and offer your godparents some tea," Jacob urged with a grin.
The Shaw family's butler, sharp as ever, had already prepared everything ahead of time. The moment Ruby decided to embrace Chloe as family, the tea was ready to be served. He approached with a tray holding two cups.
Following tradition, Chloe handed the tea over, "Godfather, Godmother, please enjoy your tea."
Ruby and Neil sat down, delighted, accepting the tea from Chloe with smiles.
After the simple ceremony, the Shaw brothers joined in. Isaac beamed, "I always wanted a beautiful sister when I was a kid, and now it seems my dream's come true."
He stepped closer to Chloe, "Hey there, I'm Isaac."
"Great to meet you, Isaac," Chloe replied warmly, as she went on to meet the rest of the Shaw brothers.

Neil felt a whirlwind of emotions. They once had a daughter, but his four sons knew nothing of it. Ruby had been away a lot during her pregnancy, so the kids didn't see much of each other. Kash was at boarding school early on, and Isaac, Parker, and Wayne were just little kids, too young to remember. Their daughter had passed away the day she was born, a sorrow that lingered in Neil and Ruby's hearts. They never told their sons, and though they often reminisced over the years, they never brought it up in front of them. So, the Shaw brothers had no clue they once had a sister.
Ruby, seeing everyone so happy together, felt her heart overflow with warmth. She couldn't quite explain it, but looking at Chloe's face made her heart melt.
Lisa, however, watched the scene

unfold, and jealousy twisted inside her like a storm. Why?! Why should it be this way?! Chloe was just a pretend heiress. Why did everyone treat her so well? Lisa's anger, swelled like a balloon about to burst. She felt like she couldn't hold it in any longer. If she didn't let it out today, she felt she might just explode.
Having lost alkreason, Lisa couldn't stand seeing Chloe bask in all this glory. It made her feel like a rat in the gutter. It shouldn't be this way. Chloe should be the one crawling in the dark! All these bright and beautiful things should belong to her, Lisa.
Lisa stormed into the crowd, pointing at Chloe with a fierce glare and a face twisted with jealousy. "You've all been tricked by her. Chloe is nothing but trouble and doesn't deserve all this love," she shouted.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Chloe's got a flawed character. How can she be the Shaw family's goddaughter? Her morals are lacking, and you've all been fooled by her," Lisa continued, unable to bear Chloe's moment in the spotlight.
She was already married to Connor, so why did she also get to become a goddaughter to the Shaw family? Why did all the good things seem to fall right into her lap?
