Chapter 537 Neil Bell
Chloe had long known that Pamela was not a simple person. Pamela was ruthless and capable of anything, and she was very good at framing others. The thought of going to Emerald Isle filled Chloe with unease. She had no particular attachment to money, but she feared what might unfold there.
"May I ask your name?" Chloe looked up and asked.
"My name is Neil Bell. By the way, was it you who wanted the scarf record last time? I brought it for you." With that, Neil took the vinyl record out of the small bag.
Chloe took the record in her hand and thought, ' This was something I have asked Derek to bring me from Emerald Isle. Why is Neil bringing it to me today?'
"Who are you to Derek?" Chloe asked.
"Derek is my youngest son." Neil said with a smile, "Derek likes you very much. He came to Pearl Peak University to be granted an honorary professorship, and I came with him. Derek asked me to check on you."
The world was so small. It was like you had been running around the globe, but you found that the people around you were still the ones you knew before.
Chloe didn't know how to respond. "I've been married."
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that Derek likes you," Neil said with a smile again.
"But the person I love is still my ex-husband." Chloe said after a pause.
Neil frowned slightly. "I will tell Derek what you think. Alright, Ms. Baker, I should be leaving. When you decide to return to Emerald Isle, let me know. By the way, has Ms. Jane Allen been seeing you at school recently?"
"You know her?"
"Yes, I previously sent someone to the hospital to investigate your background. The doctor mentioned that Jane is your attending physician. I saw her photo and recognized her. We compared your DNA with the real Pamela's, and you are indeed her biological daughter."
Chloe nodded slowly, thinking, ' So it was Neil who had sent someone to investigate me at Jane's hospital, not Pamela.'
"Where did you see Jane?" Chloe asked again.
"I was just about to go upstairs to find you while Jane was looking at something on the bulletin board downstairs. From the side, she looked quite similar, so I guessed Jane might be here to see you." Neil said again.
"Thank you. If I decide to return to Emerald Isle, I will let you know." Chloe said.
Chloe didn't know what Jane was looking at on the bulletin board.
"Alright, Ms. Baker, Derek and I are still staying at the hotel. When you make up your mind, let me know your answer. For the past few years, Derek has been secretly investigating your background, and so have I. We were both investigating separately, not knowing what the other was looking into. Recently, Derek said he had fallen for a girl named Chloe, and that's when I realized that this Chloe was the one I had been investigating. I told him everything, and Derek was quite shocked. He's been staying at the hotel during past few days. Derek hasn't come to see you, probably because he did not make you awkward." Neil said, his face full of smiles as he talked about Derek.
Neil looked out the window. "Ms. Baker, it's getting windy. I should go."
"Take care. Be careful." Chloe said coldly.
Outside the private room, someone was still standing. Hearing that the elderly man was about to come out, she quickly returned to her seat and continued eating with her son, pretending that nothing had happened. After all, the elderly man didn't know her. She was Cynthia.
