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?"

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."
