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.

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

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.
