Chapter 155

Lara caused a scene late at night in order to make Spencer suspect Seth’s involvement in the matter. However, she underestimated Seth’s importance to Spencer. With just a few words, Seth was able to corner her.

“It’s not safe for you to stay in the country anymore,” Seth declared firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

“What?” Christina turned to Spencer in disbelief. “Spencer, how can Lara stay abroad on her own?”

Seth didn’t take Christina seriously and found her annoying to listen to.

Instead of engaging with her, he left the decision to Spencer.

Spencer looked at Christina with narrowed eyes and said seriously, “Didn’t it occur to you that it wasn’t safe for Lara to go adventuring in Peru?”

Lara felt her hope drain away. Spencer’s question was as good as agreeing with Seth’s suggestion.

“Stay abroad until the storm blows over,” Spencer decided. He leaned on his walking stick and gave Lara a warning glance, saying, “Follow the rules even when you’re away. I’ll send someone to keep an eye on you. Don’t go out unnecessarily and prioritize your safety.”

Lara lost all hope. Although Spencer seemed concerned about her safety, he was actually putting her under house arrest, afraid that she would cause trouble outside.

Despite seeing her distress, Spencer didn’t seem to care. He scanned the room and issued a warning to everyone, “Shaffer Group is making rapid progress, thanks to the efforts of every generation. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate this and causes trouble will be dealt with.” With that, he stood up from the couch.

Christina wanted to help him up, but he had already stood. He pointed at Seth and ordered, “Come upstairs with me.”

Quietly, Seth glanced at the wall clock, an odd look flashing in his eyes.

Nevertheless, he followed Spencer upstairs.

Christina still wanted to help Spencer up the stairs, but he snapped, “Why are you following me instead of checking on Lara?” Despite their years of marriage, he showed no courtesy when speaking to her.

Seth saw Christina’s face stiffen under his icy gaze, but he felt nothing for her.

This was the path she had chosen for herself. No matter how difficult it became, she had to walk it alone, especially since she was always causing problems.

“Did you see it?” A few seconds after Christina went downstairs, Spencer turned around and said while walking, “Find yourself a virtuous wife. Even if she’s not, she should come from a similar background. Otherwise, when you grow older, you’ll be ridiculed by your children and grandchildren.”

Walking behind him, Seth sensed something in his words and replied calmly, “I don’t find anything ridiculous about you, Grandpa.”

Spencer snorted but wasn’t really angry. At the end of the corridor, he stopped. “I heard you changed your secretary.”

A light flashed in Seth’s eyes, and he became guarded. However, he DINANCE P2P 0 Transaction Fees appeared unaffected on the surface. “It’s been five years. Time for a change of personnel.”

With an unreadable look in his eyes, Spencer glanced at him. Without making anything clear, he said casually, “Make sure you pay them well. They’ve worked hard for five years. Don’t delay things and hurt their feelings.”

Seth didn’t say a word but could already guess what Spencer would say next.

“You’re not getting any younger.”

There it was. This was why he asked Seth to come back today. “I don’t plan to get married for the time being,” Seth said honestly, so Spencer wouldn’t keep dropping hints.

Sulking, Spencer looked doubtful and turned his face to stare at Seth. “You have no plans to get married, or you don’t plan to marry a lady from a notable family?”

Men understood each other best, and Spencer was once a young man. Even without clarifying, they could read each other’s minds.

P2P 0 Transaction Fees Seth thought it over and understood what Spencer was hinting at. “Do you want me to marry someone from the Legard Family?”

Sabrina Legard’s parents had previously suggested this to the Shaffers.

However, Sabrina was secretly dating someone else, and Seth had declined the suggestion because they were childhood friends.

“Sabrina is a nice girl,” Spencer indirectly pointed out.

Seth didn’t argue and replied calmly, “I don’t plan to marry Cinderella, nor do I plan to marry a cold-hearted person to spend the rest of my life with. At least…” He stopped mid-sentence.

Spencer raised an eyebrow. “At least what?”

“At least I want a relationship like my parents had.”

His words echoed through the corridor, and they both fell silent. Instantly, Spencer’s face fell, and annoyance flashed in his eyes. Facing the window, he said, “If you’d rather be like them, you might as well stay single for the rest of Transaction Fees your life.”
