Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 459

And Beck wasn't entirely comfortable entrusting it all to her. His daughter was somewhat naive, and he feared she might be duped by some man. There were enough tales in the media of sons-in-law ruining their fathers-in-law, leaving families destitute.

But now, things were different.

With Izabella around, if she were to marry Casey, Beck could divide a portion of his wealth and grant her control of the entire Dempsey Group.

Beck was already counting his chickens, considering how Izabella had earned billions in just a year. He had to make sure to keep such a talent around.

So, he promptly dialed Casey's number, only to be greeted by the chilly automated voice.

“I'm sorry, but the person you called is currently on another call.”

Casey had hung up on him.

Beck was used to this. He'd call again, and Casey would hang up. This went on until the fifth time.

Perhaps annoyed by the constant ringing, Casey finally picked up.

“What is it?”

Beck started with a complaint. "You hung up on me four times."

"Dad, if you don't have anything important to say, I'll hang up a fifth time."

Casey always meant what he said. Beck quickly halted him.

“Wait, don’t hang up just yet. I have something to discuss with you.”

Casey, patient as ever, asked, “What is it?”

Beck replied, “Bring your girlfriend over for dinner. Your mom misses her, and so does your sister. She's been asking about her non-stop.”

Casey found Beck’s change in tone rather strange. Usually, when Beck referred to Izabella, he would call her "that woman". But this time, he referred to her as Casey's girlfriend.

This meant that Beck had fully accepted Izabella. And why wouldn't he? If he still had issues with someone as outstanding as Izabella, he'd probably need to get his eyes checked.

“I'll have to ask Izabella if she's up for it.”

Beck quickly responded, “Make sure you ask her. And remember to find out her favorite foods. I'll note them down and have our chef prepare them.”

Casey listed a slew of Izabella's favorites. Beck couldn't keep up, so he decided to record the conversation and jot down the details later.

After hanging up, Beck began making the necessary arrangements. When Wendy came home to see the house bustling with preparations, she pulled Kevin, the housekeeper, aside and asked, “Kevin, are we expecting guests?”

“It’s Casey and his girlfriend, Ms. Salotti, ma’am.”
