Chapter 284 Her Mother's Necklace

• Shawn released a deep sigh. It was simply too hard for him to make any amends after missing out on 23 years of his daughter's life. He wouldn't hesitate to take Rachel in as his daughter if she was still suffering out there. However, now that she was the Young Mistress of the Ford Family, others might think that he was trying to latch onto her for his own benefit if he claimed that she was his daughter.
• Eventually, he got to his feet and took a few steps away before turning around and walking back at a slow pace. He placed a box on the table. "It seems like we get along pretty well, Miss Yates. You can take this as a gift from me to you." Rachel froze for a moment. She stared at the box—she didn't know what it was, but she couldn't bring herself to receive a gift from a stranger.
• "I don't have the habit of accepting random gifts from others, Mr. Zeus. You can take it back," she urged. The man froze for a moment before he opened the box and explained himself to her. "This is a jade necklace, and I think it'd suit your skin color very well. I believe you're the best fit for this necklace," he uttered. She glanced at the jade necklace, and an image surfaced in her mind. It was a photo of her young mother, who had been known as one of the prettiest women in Seaview City back then. The photo itself seemed rather faded and old, which only made her mother look prettier than ever. The jade necklace on her mother's neck was especially eye-catching as it gleamed in the picture.
