    He paused for a while before ncing at the two people, who

    were still dumbstruck. “Then don’t let them step into this house again.”


    Harold rocked back on his heels in shock and Lily immediately


    shivered.


    Jason’s words were undoubtedly telling these two that if they left


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


    Seeing that Jason had left, Harold and Lily 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.


    Lily 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 Jason? This is ridiculous!”


    “The man doesn’t give a shit about your excuses, Lily. Whatever trouble you’ve caused, you have to


    solve it yourself. If the Reed Group really breaks ties with our family, you no doubt know what


    will happen to us in the future!”


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


    his daughter, Harold could not tolerate any resistance.


    Lily was silent. Of course, she knew that many of the big


    businesses in her family’s holdings relied on the Reed Group. If Jason turned hostile, it would be a


    devastating blow to her family.


    Lily felt helpless and could only walk into the pool step by step. It was so cold and the water smelled


    like a swamp. She began to look for the small ring, bending down and feeling along the


    bottom.


    She winced and screamed several times. When she scraped


    against rocks and god-knew-what.


    What if there were turtles? She could lose a finger.


    She had not expected Jason to take revenge for Grace.


    And now that he had, she wondered what else he might do to her


    next.


    When Jason returned to the apartment, he saw Grace washing clothes.


    Her hands were soaked in ice-cold water and they had already


    turned red from the cold.


    “Why don’t you use hot water?” he asked with a frown.


    “Hot water needs to be boiled, which will use a lot of electricity.


    Besides, if you wash with cold water for a while, your hands will


    start to heat up.” Grace said. She soaked the clothes again and


    wrung them out to dry.


    He took her hands in his. They were so, so cold.


    “Next time, use hot water when you wash clothes. Just use the


    electricity, and I will earn the money,” he said.


    She could not helpughing. She raised her hand and patted


    his shoulder. “It’s alright, I should save money whenever I can.


    There’ll be many ces to spend money in the future. How was


    dinner with your colleagues tonight, was it enjoyable?”

    “Not bad,” Jason replied. Dinner with his colleagues had been his


    excuse tonight. If he had guessed correctly, then Lily would still be


    looking for the ring in the Reed family’s pond.


    He wondered how long Lily would spend.


    “It seems to have grown a little longer,” Grace muttered, bringing Jason back to reality. He saw the


    person before him raising her hand to gently press his hair back.


    “Jay, why don’t I trim your hair for you? When it’s long like this, it’s


    got to be annoying, getting in your face and whatnot.”


    Heughed.


    His hair was tied back during the day, and he only left it down


    around her and while in her environment so people wouldn’t


    recognize him.


    She ran her hands through his hair again. “I think it will look so good,” she said as if already envisioning


    it.


    He stared at her with a bright glint in his eyes. Momentster, he slowly said, “Alright.”


    Grace only had simple tools-ab and a pair of scissors. Then,


    she took a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Jason’s neck.
