“Dad, you must really miss irish too audrey  said. “It’s really laughable how when I saw clairethat day, she had no hint of remorse for irish s deadth

“All right, don’t speak of that woman,”greg replied.

As they spoke, they could hear footsteps from the stairs. The father and daughter duo raised their heads to see isasc coming down the stairs.

“Did you come to see me for something?” isaac asked calmly as his gaze swept across the two people before him.

As Isaac's cold eyes took in  audrey she could feel her body tensing slightly. There was a time when her sister had been madly in love with this man!

Audrey still remembered her sister talking to her with a dreamy expression on her face. “I once thought that I could never get a man like isaac in this life. He’s too cold, too logical, and even if you hug him, it’s as if you can’t feel any of his warmth. We can be together in a room, and he’s still a hundred miles away. He’s just like exquisite and beautiful porcelain. You can see his surface but you can never see what’s beneath.”

“Yes. Audrey thought so too. Every time she saw isaac , she was unable to see the man clearly. In hindsight, her sister’s choice of a husband may not have been the best one. Oh, for political and financial reasons irish couldn’t have done better, but there was something glacial about isaac.

Something cold and callous.

It’s why audrey  had never tried to make a go of things with audrey neither before nor after the accident. Even though isaac was very good-looking and backed by the large landford Group, capable of doing anything within the city, the man was too scary and too cold.

Her sister may have been head-over-heels in love with Jason and had finally gotten his consent to marry, but audrey doubted the feeling was reciprocal. She didn’t think isaac had ever loved irish .

Not because irish wasn’t wonderful in every way.

But because this man was incapable of love.

At her sister’s funeral, isaac  did not shed a single tear.

Isaac , My daughter made a grave mistake, audrey is an impetuous child, who caused an incident that impacted us negatively. I’ve already scolded her. We hope that you can still attend audrey’s and hendrix engagement dinner audrey is irish's only sibling, and I’m sure irish would wish that you could attend audrey’s engagement dinner greg said with a sincere expression.

Isaac  looked at greg with a forced smile. Greg felt as if his throat was turning dry and he could not finish what he wanted to say.
Greg had-mingled in the business sector for many years

and yet now it was as if his entire person was being stifled by someone who was almost his son-in-law. He felt as if isaac could see through his every thought.

“She really is quite indignant. And petty, I think. I was quite surprised that she would cause so much trouble. Lying about jewelry and then forcing minimum wage workers to search for some imaginary ring.isaac shook his head. “I mean, even if she had lost such a ring, so what?”
Greg nodded. “Yes, isaac. This was handled very poorly.”

Greg you raised quite a daughter audrey said with a faint smile. “Children should be blessings, not burdens.”
Greg smiled embarrassedly.

Aydrey flushed repeatedly. She was the darling daughter of the beckett family and also a celebrity. People chased after her the world over. When had she ever had to suffer such mockery?

Isaac ’s dark eyes cut to her. He knew what she was thinking. He smirked.

Then he glanced back at greg, all but dismissing audrey. “If you want me to attend the engagement dinner, it’s not impossible isaac said. “Since your darling daughter is so fond of looking for things, then there’s no harm in her helping me look for something.”

What does that mean?
Greg  and audrey looked at him and then at each other, clearly confused.

They watched as isaac walked to the other end of the hall to open a sliding glass door. Outside the door was an artificial pond. It was large and deep, with algae-covered rocks and an assortment of koi isaac threw the ring in his hand straight into the pond, then spoke to greg “Once your darling daughter finds the ring, I’ll attend the engagement dinner.”
Greg's  mouth opened but no words came out. Audrey looked dazed.

He wanted her to… find a small ring in this pond?! Is he kidding?

Isaac ordered a nearby servant, Keep an eye on them. Miss beckett has to find it herself. The moment the ring is found, then that’s when they can leave. Of course, if they have to leave no matter what…”

He paused for a while before glancing at the two people, who were still dumbstruck. “Then don’t let them step into this house again.”

Greg rocked back on his heels in shock and isaac  immediately shivered.

Isaac  words were undoubtedly telling these two that if they left

without finding the ring, it would mean severing all ties with the landford family.

Seeing that isaac  had left greg  and audrey looked at each other in dismay.

Although the pool in front of them was not too deep, it was still about 100 square meters. Even worse, the bottom of the pool was covered with mud and algae, so it would not be easy to find a small ring.

Isaac  was about to cry. “Dad, what should I do? Do I really have to go down and look for the ring? Can’t we call someone or try and reason with isaac ? This is ridiculous!”

“The man doesn’t give a shit about your excuses audrey  Whatever trouble you’ve caused, you have to solve it yourself. If the landford  Group really breaks ties with our family, you  know what will happen to us in the future!”

Since it was related to the future of his family, even though it was

his daughter greg could not tolerate any resistance.
Audrey was silent. Of course, she knew that many of the big

businesses in her family’s holdings relied on the landford Group. If isaac turned hostile, it would be a devastating blow to her family.
