I Quit, Mr. Shaffer

Chapter 472 I’m Not As Fortunate As My Father

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Seth left the club, concluding his conversation with Ronald.

During the meeting, both parties decided to compromise. Hence, it brought an end to over a week of intense competition..

The Larson Family faced significant losses, so when they received the unexpected news of a truce from Seth, it brought relief, even to an experienced person like Ronald. He quickly agreed without hesitation.

“Mr. Shaffer, Old Mr. Shaffer is still waiting at the old Shaffer residence.” The chauffeur informed Seth in the car.

With his eyes closed, Seth responded casually.

He had been preparing to deal with the Larson Family since his time in Bleaktown.

Although he had taken a step back, the Larson Family would no longer be a looming threat, and some people could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The car drove toward the suburbs, which were surrounded by lush green trees. Upon arriving at the old Shaffer residence, the butler who usually waited at the door was nowhere to be seen.

It was about half an hour later when someone finally emerged to invite him in.

Seth knew this was his grandfather’s way of asserting his authority.

As he ascended the stairs, the faint sound of opera could be heard.

Spencer's bodyguard approached him and said, “Mr. Shaffer’s opera still has half an hour remaining.”

Seth was not annoyed to hear this. He sat down and said, “Let Grandpa know not to hurry. It'd be good to throw in a couple more acts. With his age, he might as well enjoy each performance to the fullest.”

The bodyguard kept silent.

Then came a loud crash!

The shattering of a cup brought an abrupt halt to the opera performance.

“Let him in!”

The authoritative voice carried a vibrant energy, which indicated that the speaker sti had many good years ahead of him.

Seth arched an eyebrow, calmly got up from his seat, and made his way upstairs. Spencer was in the music room on the second floor. Seeing Seth enter, he nonchalantly 3/7

threw another porcelain cup in his direction.

Seth swiftly dodged to the side with ease.

He looked up to meet his grandfather’s reproachful gaze.

“Grandfather, if you’re upset about my departure yesterday, | apologize. But as for everything else, | hope you won't interfere.”

Spencer snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes at him. “Everything else? You've got some nerve. Just because of that woman, you dare to argue with me.”

Seth furrowed his brow. “You've got it wrong. It has nothing to do with Isabella.” Spencer scoffed. “The younger generation is worse than the last.”

He shot a stern glance at Seth. “Your father at least had the courage to speak his mind 117

to me. But you, you can’t even utter a single straightforward sentence.”

Seth insisted. “I do have feelings for her.”

“And yet you dare to claim it has nothing to do with her!”

Another porcelain cup was thrown.

Seth dodged it once again.

“But it's not a matter of life and death yet,” he added.

Spencer fixed him with a steady gaze and cautiously inquired, “If you had to get ma

right now, would you?”

Seth’s expression remained indifferent as he responded firmly, “Not a chance, especially not with Bloom.”

“What about someone else?” Spencer pressed.

“If you can find someone suitable, I'll consider it.” Seth didn’t hesitate.

Spencer chuckled. “Don’t play dumb with me. There are only a few girls that | approve

of, and you've rejected every single one of them.”

Seth said, “You sure know how to pick them. All your choices seem to come with a bit of baggage. Marriage? No, I'd settle for just an engagement. I’d probably end up wearing a ‘cuckold’ label right away.”

Spencer stayed silent.

“You are welcome to search for someone else, but please find someone with a less

complicated past, someone who is right there beside me. It’s not just that | don’t want

her to have been with someone else. | also care about what she thinks, especially if it’s

about me.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Stephen slammed his cane. “Enough with your nonsense. | don’t want to say much, but | absolutely will not allow another Erin Baxter in the Shaffer Family!”

There was a moment of silence between them.

Seth’s eyes were completely black. After a long pause, he finally said, “You can be assured that | am probably not as fortunate as my

father.”
